West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has been accused of racism after calling a girls high school basketball team a 'bunch of thugs'.
Justice, who also coaches a girls basketball team, was supporting them when a fight broke out with the opposition.
Afterwards, he told a local newspaper The Register-Herald: 'I hate to say it any other way, but honest to God´s truth is the same thing happened over at Woodrow two different times out of the Woodrow players.
'They're a bunch of thugs. The whole team left the bench, the coach is in a fight, they walked off the floor, they called the game!'
'They don't know how to behave and at the end of the day, you got what you got,' he said.

The so called “bunch of thugs”, were they of the colored persuasion?
To: Morgana
Well, at least he didn’t call them “Nappy Headed Ho’s”

Thigs is not a racist term.
And the girls doing the fighting probably are thugs.

Both teams were black, so there’s no racial component to this. The attacking kids and their coach were thugs.

He apparently is right, they do appear to be a bunch of thugs. But I don’t see how a governor has time to coach basketball teams (plural)!

Both teams were black, so there’s no racial component to this. You're right, but it didn't stop them from dropping the race card on him, did they?
To: Morgana
Thugs are thugs. If you are one, your skin color is irrelevant.
If you are a thug and you are black, no free race card pass. Except from the liberal apologizers.

West Virginia governor is accused of racism after calling girls' high school basketball team a 'bunch of thugs' Racism? Anti-Indian? Because the original Thugees were Kali worshipers in India.
