I agree with @hayden. I noticed, beginning with Trayvon Martin and Richard Sherman, that the term “thug” seemed to be applied disproportionately to back men. I posted about this in some earlier thread.

I am fully aware of the origins of the word in India, and the interim usage as described by @zoozermom, but it really does seem to me that applying it to young black men has become, as they say, “a thing.”
