Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greenwood is a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As one of the most successful and wealthiest African American communities in the United States during the early 20th Century, it was popularly known as America's "Black Wall Street" until the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. The riot was one of the most devastating race riots in history and it destroyed the once thriving Greenwood community.
Within five years after the riot, surviving residents who chose to remain in Tulsa rebuilt much of the district. They accomplished this despite the opposition of many white Tulsa political and business leaders. It resumed being a vital black community until segregation was overturned by the Federal Government during the 1950s and 60s. Desegregation encouraged blacks to live and shop elsewhere in the city, causing Greenwood to lose much of its original vitality. Since then, city leaders have attempted to encourage other economic development activity nearby.
EARTH TO ASCLEPIAS: Millions of white guys have served in the military and fought in wars, dodged bombs & bullets, jumped out of planes from 10,000 ft, fought against enemy fighter jets in the air, and took on everything from Japanese Kamikaze planes ramming into their ships, to booby traps in Vietnam, to IEDs in Afghanistan. And you call them weak hearted, right ? HA HA HA!!
Well, I guess I call you weak-minded. A riled up black man is just another riled up somebody somewhere. When I think of intimidation, I recall back to the North Vietnamese lieutenants I interrogated, who would rip the skin off your face with a bayonet, curl it into a ball, and shove it down your throat, just for the hell of it. Next to them, your riled up black man looks like a 2 week old kitten.![]()
You are trying entirely too hard to pretend you are not afraid. Dont get your panties in a bunch. I'm talking about scary white guys like you and good boy. I know some white guys that are not afraid of anything but they seem to be few and far between. Most of the ones I seem to meet are easily intimidated.
That may be more in your head than theirs. And I don't "pretend" anything, asshole. I'm an Army veteran. If we were pretenders, we'd be dead. As for the word "thug". It just means a criminal who is pushy, that's all. As usual, black people in all their typical race paranoia are making something out of nothing. Ho hum. Yawn ***.
I think its a pretty long stretch to call someone a thug accidently. Either you don't know what the word means or you are being a bigot. Since Blacks are frequently portrayed as thugs then its not at all being hypersensitive. Its being correctly perceptive.
Or perhaps it was because he was acting very aggressive. The word thug does carry the conotation of someone who is aggressive.
Actually it doesnt. A thug can be aggressive but you can be white collar criminal and be aggressive. its not even listed as a synonym.

Notice I used the word "connotation".
con·no·ta·tion
ˌkänəˈtāSHən/
noun
1.
an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning.
"the word “discipline” has unhappy connotations of punishment and repression"
synonyms: overtone, undertone, undercurrent, implication, hidden meaning, nuance, hint, echo, vibrations, association, intimation, suggestion, suspicion, insinuation More
PHILOSOPHY
the abstract meaning or intension of a term, which forms a principle determining which objects or concepts it applies to.
Thoughts?
Everyone sees through the bullshit now a days. White people are quick to be scared by a black man and that intimidation is enough to label him a "thug" but what they want to say is the N-word.
thug
THəg/Submit
noun
1.
a violent person, esp. a criminal.
Meanwhile, like Sherman pointed out. All he did was say things. In Hockey when you beat someones teeth out (while white) you get applauded all day. Look at Incognito. Not one time did anyone call him a thug. Even tho his behavior was Thuggish.
Then add in the fact that you want all these Alpha males on the field but you want them to act like politicians? Huh?
Whats your thoughts?

I did notice. I also noticed you took the bait like I knew you would. Thanks for proving the point that using the word thug to describe an agitated Black man is rooted in fear and invokes the feeling of "violent criminal" for some scary white people.

Yet you assume that if a white man had acted the same way that people would not have called him a thug. You are the one that keeps bringing up that he is black. I believe in giving people a benefit of a doubt when motives are not truly known. Do you?

Where did you see me make that assumption? Please quote it for me. What would happen to a white guy never even crossed my mind. I simply said I agree that some people were calling him a thug as a way to disguise they really wanted to call him the N word.

Okay, I take you at your word. Would you agree that some or perhaps even many of the people that called him a thug did so without the N word crossing their minds? Or at least that it is possible?
Sometimes when there are two sides of a discussion like what we are having, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
It doesn't matter how much ******* complain about the words used to identify them. There will always be another abhorrent behavior they will come to be associated with.

Thug fits him perfectly along with the other word. If you want to dish it out, be willing to take it in return.
