Havent watched the vid,will later but fukk it ill say it: the word "thug" is synonymous with black people mainly because of rap. You all know it. "Thug Life" "thug lovin", "www.thug.com" "thug holiday" and a host of many other song and album titles are a regularity in hiphop culture. Damn near every rap song has a "thug" reference. Not only is the reference there, its glorified. Rappers wear the "thug" badge with honor. Right now, one of the hottest rappers with one of the largest platforms to influence goes by the name of "Young Thug". The word "thug" isn't derogatory in rap. Its only derogatory when white people say it. When a white person does something bad and you all refer to him/her as a "thug" i chuckle a bit because i know yall are doing it tongue & cheek. Yall dont really believe it. It doesnt sound right referring to a white person as a "thug". You and i both know it. Be honest. You wont, but be honest. The image of a "thug" has been burned and branded ar that of a young,black male. When you see or hear the word "thug", your mind AUTOMATICALLY conjures up the image of a black male. I know ima get called a "c00n" again for speaking what everyone else is afraid to say, but oh well.:yeshrug: Im not a sheep. If we dont care what white folks think, then it shouldnt matter what they call us right? Im just letting yall know where they get "thug" from specifically. Rap,(which has PURPOSELY been manipulated to create the image of the "thug" as a black male) is the reason. @Cbanks36 @mrken12 @kp404 @Truth200 @Barnett114 @DarianaGrande @philmonroe @HankHill @Emperor_ReinScarf @Taadow @Matt504

We aren't talking about rappers and it unjustly justifies the cac media's view of black men. Thug isn't a word we invented and it got slung on black males prior to rap's global explosion. By definition in cacs dictionary, those bikers are thugs.

Phonzhi intentionally plays dumb and uses "Rapper" interchangeably with "Black Male", as if they're one in the same.
:laugh:
There's a hilarious irony that comes with his stance against Black Male generalizations where he generalizes....
*ding*ding* Black Males !

White supremacists think the exact same way. And I'm pretty sure he knows that.

"Mainly"?

Why not "totally"?

Ill go back and change it. That word is 100% synonymous with black people the world over because of the hiphop culture, our main representor. If hiphop came up with another derogatory word to call ourselves, best believe that word would become synonymous with blacks too like "thot" & "savage". Hiphop is THAT influential. Yall will keep denying that fact, but you all will realize one day that everything i post here is true . I do this out of love for my black brothers & sisters. It kills me to see yall defend this white supremists music. We deserve better than to be disrespected constantly by puppet rappers sent by white supremists.

Thanks for enlightening us that us as black people do not control our own narrative but rappers do.

Yeah, I'm sure white people started using black man and thug synonymously because of Trick Daddy and Thugz Mansion :beli:

It all started with the music, not centuries of white supremacy that is embed in America.

Films like The Birth of a Nation never existed either.
