It is when conservatives or republicans use it…cause, code and stuff.
That’s just how all you white conservatives are.

But he did say “womp womp” right? Just as bad.

Yes, he said womp womp. Somebody should have shot him just for that.

Yeah good luck with him…I’m not going down that road…that seems like a sad case
Old white people are the only ones that still use it. It’s been out of date as street slang or kiddie slang for a decade, decade and a half. That’s Tupac era ■■■■■ He’s been dead 22 years.

Yeah, it is the vast majority of the time.
so libs like cops now?
when libs hear the word, they picture a black man. So to them… its racial.
To me, thug has always conjured up an image of guys with a lot of vowels in their names. But that goes back a ways.
Really, the cop was to save the trumpanzee with the gun…the old man was chasing him down and the trumpanzee was in fear of his life.
You really can’t imagine life outside of your little corner of the block, can you?
I think that’s much of the problem. Just because people in your area used it that way, doesn’t mean that people all over the world use it that way.
You don’t get to define everyone else’s world. You define your own.
Yeah, the guy I envision is pasty white, short and stocky upper body, with a face like wooly willie in a wife beater, with tiny hips and legs.
I’m pretty sure he’s a cartoon character.
It’s amazing how much projection is involved with the added virtue dropping.
Yeah, funny how it virtually never gets used for white people, huh? Must be an enormous coincidence. Also an enormous coincidence the term directly linked in the mind of everybody to a gangster rapper who’s sold like a hundred million albums.
That’s not a cartoon character, that’s me…except for the stocky upper body, mine is more round and pudgy.
…and the wife beater, I don’t like anything without sleeves.
…and the wooly willie face, I have no idea who that is. Then again, maybe I do have a wooly willie face and I just don’t know it. Okay, I take that one back.
