Thanks, TW. Now I wish I hadn't edited my post. Yes, I am new around here but it didn't take long for me to see the ways things are. I see your post is gone.

I call bull on that definition as being the way in which the word was used. You and I both know what the word "thug" means around here. It means just about anybody who isn't white.

I resent the living h&!! out of that comment. The word is CHILD. You know nothing of the victim or the shooter. No child, regardless of his color, financial status, or social upbringing deserves to be called that. I don't know whether you were referring to the victim or the shooter and it doesn't really matter.

Yes, YOU are a redneck racist and nothing you can say makes any difference, WH. I just wonder if you've ever called a white child a thug. Something tells me "no".

Exactly where does a persons race come into play here?
BTW, the name calling says a lot about you.

I have never in my life heard that the word "thug" is a synonym for a non-white person. Never. I use the word as defined by Merriam Webster, and will continue to. I won't feel guilty for it, either.

Oh, really, WH? You, instead of expressing ANY concern for this tragic situation chose to post a one word response. "THUG". What exactly does that say about YOU??? Mrs. Carl, I didn't say you shouldn't ever use the word or be ashamed for using it, but try to see my point about the way it was obviously used by WH. If you can't, then you are just like everybody else around here. 75 years behind the rest of the country with your head in the sand. Also, don't try to say you haven't heard young black men be generally referred to as thugs around here simply because they're young and black or I will call crap on that, too. Sorry. I call 'em as I sees 'em.

Why do we, as parents, let our children associate with people we don't know, give them all cellphones, cut them loose and trust them to be responsible when they are too young to even know how to hold down a job or balance a checkbook?
