We're Being Told That The Term 'THUG' Is Racist

So, now we are being told that calling someone a "thug" is racist.

Toward which race, exactly?

I pulled up an online dictionary and found this...

noun

1.a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.

2.(sometimes initial capital letter) one of a former group of professional robbers and murderers in India who strangled their victims.

Don't really see anything there that could be construed as being racist.

If we cannot refer to these miscreants as thugs, what are we allowed to call them?

Two thoughts.

First: "So?"

Second: "Don't care."

Third thought would have my mother washing my mind out with soap.

I said the other day we need a twitter/Tumblr/Reddit campaign telling those turning their lives around that whites profit from riots and things of that nature.

And in a way we do. Lots of money collecting insurance for the non profitable businesses they destroy the owners couldn’t otherwise get out of easily. But whether we do or not, they don’t care. They hear it and thanks to Dem programming, they believe the worst.

Psyops work.

We're Being Told That The Term 'THUG' Is Racist...uh, well we don't allow other people to tell us what the words we chose to use mean - they mean what we intend them to mean, not what someone else decides they should mean......

That’s our largest problem. We care what the enemy thinks. The right used to be about hard truth. But today most are easily cowered by the hint of being called names.

It would be idiocy for the libs to not press the advantage because unlike us, liberals want to win and win on their terms. We on the other hand don’t want to breath too loudly out of feat the MSM will accuse us of excessive carbon emissions...much ;less fight back with intent.

The lib victory was in fact so decisive that we self censor at the thought of what the msm or other liberal MIGHT say.

Sucks but daily new examples emerge.

Gee. When one of obummer’s sons touched my girlfriend a number of years back i used a MUCH WORSE word than that while i pummeled him mercilessly for ten minutes. Next time i beat the #### out of one i’ll use a more politically correct word.

GUHT

HGUT

HTGU

That's nice. So, how many thugs got arrested for breaking curfew?
