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.

Was the Virginia governor in blackface or in the KKK outfit?

He can apologize by claiming he was just calling a spade a spade.

The cry of “racism” is just meant to distract from their thuggish behavior.

Has the word, “thug” suddenly been attached to a specific race?

These idiots don’t realize they’re inferring that only blacks can be thugs.

Thugs come in all races, and apparently all sexes these days.
