It's called the "Southern Strategy" and has been going on forever.


You start out in 1954 by saying, "******, ******, ******." By 1968, you can't say "******" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "******, ******."

"Welfare queen," "thug," and such, are just a continuation of coding your racism.

Tupac and other gangsta rappers have contributed far more extensively to the current connotation of the word thug than any political think tank.

And mafia henchmen, burglars, stereotypical white goons are frequently refered to as thugs in both fiction and nonfiction media portrayals.

It's ok to use the word THUGS even if the person/s happen to be black. I know youre an oversensitive cornball social justice weenie f@ggot, but not EVERYTHING is racist. A huge surprise to you, no doubt.

i bet that mayonaise sandwich eating, fat trailer trash wife of yours, misses a real man to come home to. you aint fukkin nobody well with that va jina of yours. just cooking, cleaning, and doing the dishes while your wife is probably out chopping wood and fukkin black dudes at the park.

your kids are probably embarrassed as fukk they got a dad that acts like a female, with zero manly qualities. shit is sad to see families like yours where the mom is a whale and the dad has a sexual identity crisis brewing. your only saving grace is transgenders are slowly becoming more accepted so you might have the courage to come out soon :cheers:

I can't think of anything off hand but I'm sure there's something.

how would your kids handle you coming out a a woman? i'm curious since they have to see signs their dad is fem as fukk :confusedshrug:

Yeah, and if someone calls them n*ggers theyll get a bunch of shit for it. If they call them something less inflammatory, they get shit for using "code". There's literally no socially acceptable way to criticize someone who is a criminal if hes black.

This is simply an intimidation tactic by the left to eliminate any words that can be used to criticize some who is black, even when it is deserved. The oversensitive left cringes every time a poor, misguided descendent of a slave is criticized for committing a crime. They want to make sure it never ever happens (not the crime, the criticism) so that their overactive guilt/beta complex doesnt keep them up at night.

Just yesterday Obama, the Baltimore mayor and others referred to the rioters as thugs.

Do you think they knowingly were calling these rioters racial slurs? Come on now. You think Obama went on TV said the equivalent of "the rioters are criminals, and ******s". Of course you don't believe that.

So these people had no concept of "thug" supposedly being a racial slur. Because it isn't. "Thug" being a racial slur is not a thing.

04-30-2015, 06:43 PM
While I believe words can evolve, 'thug' is getting racial connotation because Blacks have used it in a way to express admiration or used to compliment one another. Therefore, when someone else say it, they think it is a cryptic way of calling them ******.

I think it is stupid but then again I feel a lot of things are.

i agree that the people involved in those riots are thugs and deserve to be labelled as such. My point was not to stand against the use of that word but i do know there is people that use that word just to refer to black people

For example just at my work about 3 weeks ago there was a car parked outside with 3 or 4 black teenagers in it and some rap music playing. This older lady who came in the store advised the supervisor that there is some "thugs" out there looking like they are up to no good :facepalm When i went to check outside i recognized 2 of the guys because i used to play ball with them at the YMCA and they just stopped to buy some drinks and snacks before going on their way.

Now what deserved the thug label in that case? what crime have they commited? Pretty confident she wouldnt have referred to them as thugs if it was a group of white kids.

PistonsFan#21
04-30-2015, 07:09 PM

And?

Well n*gger is an offensive term to any black person, whether they are criminals or not. White people that act all friendly and say, no offense but this guy is a "n*gger" just feels like the dumbest remark to me since that term has some racial roots with no distinction between good or bad backs.

Most would feel offended by that except for a a few Uncle Toms

I agree the word thug prob wouldnt have came to her mind if they were white, but she still probably would have been displeased. Old people are notorious for hating/distrusting young people in groups, regardless of race.

But its just the way it is with these things. Sometimes skin color plays a role in the words we choose. Like if Kevin Durant comes in the league shooting jumpers, he needs to "add weight and get stronger" but when a Euro comes in doing that hes "soft."

The social reality right now is that people perceive black strangers to be more likely to be aggressive than white strangers. Its not the only factor. What theyre wearing is a factor, how they sound, whom theyre with, what location its in etc. We are all wired to make judgements based on what we see combined with our past experiences. Seeing these guys on the news and coming up with the word thug is def not a stretch.

and that bolded part is what i mean by how it could be used as a code. Im not saying it is in every case. Like i said before i think the people in those riots were definitely thugs and i have no problem with them being labelled as such. And im sure there is plenty of white people who would label them the same without any racial intentions behind it.

it isnt the new N word because the N word has been there for a long time and still exists. "Thug" is a code word in some cases, not a replacement for the N word itself.

I think you are right. Thug is definitely associated with bottom rung, black gangster culture. Hell, "thug life' and all that.

Then again, that makes it very different from n*gger, doesn't it? How can it be a replacement when thug refers to a specific (although racial) stereotype while n*gger is used for a specific race, period? It doesn't, it carries a very different meaning.

Racism is disgusting, but what is even more disgusting is this overly PC, bullshit world we live in.

You can't say anything these days without someone getting up in arms over it. I remember over here a commentator calling a white football player a gorilla, because the guy is freaking huge, and strong as fark, and made a boss ass play. Couple months later, I believe he used it for a black player, maybe even said "bear" instead of gorilla, and there was a bit of controversy about it.

I get it and I don't get it I guess. I can't understand the struggle that some go through with racism, but at the same time I don't understand why some aren't able to speak freely without any racist intentions.

Why do some people like to push fake rape claims? Because they want to push a narrative where there is more rape than there really is.

Why do some people like to push fake racism claims? Because they want to push a narrative where thre is more racism than there really is.

Accusing people who use the word "thug" of "really wanting to say n*gger" is nothing more than fake racism claims.

"Welfare queen," "thug," and such, are just a continuation of coding your racism.

:no:

You truly are a moron of the first order. Seriously, where do you pull this garbage from? Other races are called thugs all the time (UK football hooligans, for example, Asian street gangs, et cetera) - these people can rightly be called thugs, and it has nothing to do with the colour of their skin, you utter prat.

'coding your racism'

:rolleyes:

The only person attempted to code and distort language to their own benefit, is you, who doesn't want anyone to ever use a negative sounding word when talking about a black person. That is the definition of racism, and you could only be a racist, because you see everything in categories and collectives, and refuse to judge people on an individual basis (likely because you lack the intelligence). It is impossible not to be a racist when you view the world in such a way, which is probably why you're so insecure about it and need to label others that same thing to save your precious self-esteem.

To me words change over time.

At one time calling black people colored was considered the polite way to refer to them instead of the various versions of the N-word

Eventually society evolved and the only people who referred to black people as colored were southern people that took a certain joy in saying colored, rather than black.

A similar thing happened to the word oriental.

The meaning of words changes over time. Although I personally dont think thug is necessarily related to black people and I think all people can be thugs, If black people dont want to be called that, because they feel the word is unfairly linked to them in general, its fine. I wouldnt want to offend black people in general as each individual shouldnt be held responsible for the actions of others. If black people feel the word thug is being used to refer to black people regardless of their actions, I personal can stop using the word.

Its easy to describe each individual criminal with a myriad of phrases, that are more reflective of their crimes. This way you make it clear its the particular crime you have a problem with.

Not really up on pop culture, still having trouble with why Gilbert Gotfried had a job but hasn't the Black community embraced the word "thug" in music and whatnot?

honestly I've come to think of it as an almost inert term due to it's use.. I call my kids thugs and terrorists all the time...lol

Thug means a common criminal. It has no racial connotations.
Maybe to you, and me, but certain people mean it with racial connotations. You are naive if you dont think the word thug is related to black people in the US.

If you refer to a random black guy who is minding his business as a thug, its probably racially motivated.

If you refer to someone who is LITERALLY IN THE ACT OF BEING A THUG as a thug, its probably less about race and more about the fact that THEYRE BEING AN ACTUAL THUG.

I've been seeing a lot of n-thugs move into my previously peaceful neighborhood. These dangerous urban thugs and their families are causing quite a bit of disruptions!

that would be me m'am :pimp:


to be technically correct i'd be a kink or a kook, if such a word exists, since gook is usually vietnamese i think, and ***** is chinese.

you're pretty smart for a woman :applause:

I think the term is Gook.

While living in Korea, I was told by a Korean professor that American soldiers heard Koreans saying, "Me Gook" a lot. The assumption by some stupid Americans was that they were saying, "Me Gook / I am a Gook."

Mee-guk, actually means American. Mee-guk sa-ram is American person.
Han-guk sa-ram means Korean person.

Godzuki, do you speak and Korean? I notice a difference in language between foreign born Koreans and South Koreans (and a huge accent & language difference in the North)

"States rights" should not be in there. States rights are not racist they are actually a decent idea when it comes to restraining a federal government. Regardless of how you feel about racism or the south.
