CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The other problem is that we know that this guy is a "thug" and yet he has no dreadlocks.
I don't think anyone would describe a date rapist as a thug.

Don't worry. In Trump's America that's going to change!

Rush Limbaugh for one. There have been others that I've heard over the years, and commentators and guests on Fox news, but I'm not as familiar with conservative pundits and hosts.

Plenty of people still say it. My boss says it's a perfectly good word that they took away. Funny thing, he's a big time liberal Democrat. Obama and Hillary supporter. Hates Trump.
Not sure if there's a correlation, probably not. But a funny coincidence, if nothing else.

They often wear a blue (sometimes black or brown) uniform that usually says the word "police" or "sherrif" or "SWAT" on it somewhere.....

When they weren't calling him a thug, they were referring to "Chicago Style" politics. I think Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin were good for that, though if I recall correctly they called him a thug as well.

Chicago politics didn't have a racial connotation. It meant corrupt politics because of people like Mayor Daly and his dad. And now Rahm is there carrying on the legacy.

The word "thug" is defined as a violent criminal, yet I am told that you can tell that someone is a thug just by looking at them.
Forgive my ignorance, I don't know how that works. What are the physical characteristics of a "thug"?
If I murder someone, did I look like a "thug" before I committed the violent act?
No need to be politically correct here.
Anyway, based on these physical characteristics, which of these men is a "thug"?

In the majority of instances I agree this is true. Many, when speaking of Obama, were using dog whistles imo.
