The word thug knows no color. It is based on the character of a man's heart.

Seems like they would more important things to talk about right now than making up bogeymen. Oh, I'm sorry. Is that rassis? </sarc>

Nah. Thug is just an N word dog whistle. Even black people use it in that way i.e. “Thuglife”

And yet, when persons of one particular shade are more likely to be “thugs” than those of several others, then it can only be racism, don’t you know.

Actually it has an Indian origin. The Thuggee was a group of assassins in Indian of Muslim Origin but later also used to describe some Hindus

No it’s not raises..... It’s the truth, and that’s what many in power and in the MSM don’t want focus on.

The word thug descends from Thuggee, a murderous criminal organization and pseudo-religion in India, that was systematically torn apart using more modern criminology.

“Thugs” were indiscriminate murderers and robbers, with a vague association to the goddess of death, Kali, though they had members that were both Hindus and Muslims. They preferred to strangle their victims from behind, often breaking their spine with a knee at the same time.

They would murder anyone: men, women, children, Indians and British. They preferred those who were traveling, at first in small groups, then later ambushing and wiping out entire caravans, butchering them then burying them in shallow graves.

The criminal gangs descended from the Thuggee still exist, but are far less murderous, and are called “Dacoits.”
