:: I cant think of a situation where theres ever been a headline or someone has called a white young person whos in the middle of a violent protest, demonstration, whatever, a thug ::
Well, Soledad, how many headlines or direct quotes using the word “thug” can you recall from the Berkley Protest era? All those nice white hippies...

We gave up “gay”; I’m not giving up “ thug”. From my earliest memories, “thug” meant any violent criminal intent upon mayhem and I refuse to be marginalized. The word is of Hindi origin and no one will prevent me from using it.

Rather thuggish behavior by p.c. ninny Soledad to attempt to bully people into not using a very appropriate word.

You are not suppose to call anyone names. Especially, if you do not have left bonfides.
Otherwise, if you are not a leftist, you should not say someone is a thug.
Even if someone acted thug-like.
You can not call someone the “n’ word
Even if they acted niggardly.
Also,don’t call anyone queer either. Even if they act queer.
Just play stupid and everything will be okay. Pretend not to see what you see. The Emperor has no clothe etc.

It is all very much an enigma.
But you can’t say that either.
To: Impala64ssa
Now should we just call it “the ‘t-word’”?

I suppose she wants us to call them “rascals” and “scoundrels” instead of what they really are.

The next prohibited word, coming soon: “rioter”. That word will have to become racist.

As far as I’m concerned, they’re either Americans or domestic black savages....depending on how they live.
And for the black people who don’t know, “negro” is not “the N-word” it’s simply Spanish for “black”.
Don’t believe it? Check out a can of black paint.

Solly Sole -
You’re not going to do the standard liberal language control thing
where, if a word comes to be too “truthy”,
you “ban” it.

Shes too sensitive because of her name
She can always get her name changed to, oh maybe, Attica. Or Alcatraz? Sing Sing? Joliet? Never mind, John Belushi was called Joliet Jake in the Blue Bros ;)
