The only newsworthy significance of the article, is that Jim Justice, the West Virginia governor who is also a high schoo! girls basketball coach, has been accused of racism for using the term "thugs" in describing the opposing team after a fight broke out during a recent game. Needless to say Justice, at least for the moment, has a "R" after his name.

The word “thug” is regarded as a derogatory racial term

Only to willfully blind fools.

Okay...Thug is now racial,like nooses and the OK sign. What’s next, Vandals?

They only way that the word “Thug” could be a racist term is because history has proven that thug-like behavior is largely the domain of a minority group. Go to YouTube and watch “Top 60 Thug Life Songs” and “Gangsta Rap”. You will be treated to the “art” that fills huge arenas with filthy, angry, threatening, and misogynist lyrics and fills the hearts and minds of the kids who consume it. The responsibility for this mess rests squarely on the hands of the men of our minority communities. As for the young folks, this will not be cleaned up until the real men of the Black and minority communities Stand and Fight, to save their children.
