I have lived here 50+ years as well and i've lived all over the country and I have had zero conversations about black guys in hoodies but apparently you have had enough of those conversations to say "A LOT of white Americans do that, I guess I stand corrected.
Cant remember if I said back then but I think I did, Michigan is a better job than the Cavs. Besides, who hires a 66 year old to their first ever NBA HC position?
Could very well be. Just backs up my theory that a black guy coined that phrase first.
So, unlike the N-word which was made up by white people to call black people in a derogatory way, the word “thug” can’t be conceived as racist.
A guy wearing a hoodie.
That fact that he said he meant to say slugs instead was the funniest part. Fucking lol
Attention snowflakes! The following words are now racist:fucking snowflakes...just be honest and say you hate your head coach already
I'm sure you've never dealt with race issues, certainly not in a negative way, in your entire life.
It must baffle you why so many others seem to obsessed with it given how it has had no impact on your life at all.
When I see a person walking around with their pants hanging down, I think they are a moron, no matter, the race, creed, or gender.Absolutely nothing but he brought race into it, I am a "White American" when I see someone walking around with their hoodie up I think they are either cold or wanna be left alone, their race doesn't matter.
FIFUThe word itself isn't inherently racist per se. But it is often used in highly questionable situations.
A lot of Americans see a young punkish looking male in a hoodie and call him a thug for no reason other than being a young man in a hoodie.
If they knew where and why that started they might not do it.
Attention snowflakes! The following words are now racist:
Notebook
Hubcap
Celeri
Shower
Clock
Pavement
Brussels Sprouts (Compound racist term)
Coffee
Ink marker (horrible compound racist term) E.g. You're a fucking ink marker and don't belong here.
Now let's see what happens.
You sure do assume a lot. I have dealt with my share of racial issues since I was a kid I just don't paint with a wide brush like you seem so comfortable doing. I was in the military and i've lived in NYC, Virginia, Mississippi, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, California and Texas. In my experiences there's no where near as much racism as you want there to be. What baffles me is how anyone could be such a self-righteous a-hole.
Scallywag?
