Stop using “thug”
Every time you uses it, it’s in reference to a black person.
Every time you use it, you reenforce beliefs about black people.
Every time you use it, it becomes more and more of a slur, designed to oppress black people and “put them in their place.”
Look to the media, dehumanizing black men and children with it. It’s never positive out of a white person’s mouth.
It’s become the new n-word. Don’t use it.
