If you use words that are seen to be offensive, it does not matter what label someone attributes to the person that made them. All I care about is the fact the comments were made.

Rut was right on. The more things change the more they stay the same. It is just sad really.
It sounds like we have some people that are more concerned with creating racial issues where there are none than addressing the actions on their own merit.

Words to describe and offensive act should be offensive. Thug is no more racist than bully or meanie. If someone perceives it as racist, we might as well give up because every word in the dictionary would be racist.
