i'm on a roll here to be honest, dont really get what your issue is dawg
Adam what's with your
Adam what's with your sensitivity to words like "thug" and "hommie". I know it's not because you are ever so kind and nice. Way to be uptight, hommie.
It's homie, homeslice, not hommie
But homie, really? I don't see that word used too much here. As for "thug," since you seem to have missed the earlier discussion on it, it's because people of a certain skin tone have taken to using the word to describing young men of another skin tone. They sure love that word! They could say it all day! No doubt because it's still more socially acceptable than another word that even they realize, in the 21st century, at least well north of the Mason-Dixon line, is no longer acceptable in public.
You want to use that word with your friends? Knock yourself out. You and other folks want to use it here, on every single post about a shooting in Roxbury, Mattapan or Dorchester, in place of the word you so desperately want to use instead, but just can't? No.
Well, it was a general
Well, it was a general purpose word not too long ago to describe lowlifes of all races and ethnicity, and then a certain genre of music in the 90s co-opted it for a certain segment of the population and used to self describe themselves. So, dunno who is right here, as long as we all can agree that Whitey and Putin were (and still are) thugs, I think we can all get along.
Oh, I used to use it all the time, too
But stopped when it obviously got co-opted by white people who were overjoyed to find a new word to express their hatred of all blacks. So I stopped.
I don't think changing
I don't think changing perfectly fine vernacular because some people use it another way is the best way to achieve a positive result.
I'm not going to stop saying jimmies because some transplant outrageaholic twitterphile college kids think it's a racist term, even though it isn't. Thug has no racial context despite some people claiming it does.
