Thug isn't a racist word.

However, some racist people just use it to fill in for the N word.

Context is key.

If black people stopped using the word "thug" for black criminals then maybe it would in turn, fall out of general usage, if that is an important goal (it isn't).

The bolded is incorrect. It is places like Fox news that commonly use "thug" when you can tell they really want to say n****.

Are you suggesting Fox News dictates trends in the vernacular of black people? You telling me that black people don't call black criminals thugs? It's not their preferred term for criminality?

Really?

Criminal always sounds bad. Thug can have a positive spin to it, depending on the demographic.

Dude, if your using the swatsika in the religious way and actually are a practicing Hindu, then its fine.

But if youre wearing it on your arm and calling for cleansing of minorities or other Nazi stuff, then its a problem.

Again, context is fucking key.

that's easy to say but my counterpoint is that even if a hindu or buddhist or a native american shaman or a celtic druid or any number of other cultures that used to use that symbol, was walking down the street with it, peope would form an angry mob before they asked any questions.
