And if the song was racist, he and I would be calling it out on it I'm sure. (Though I don't intend to speak for him). I've gotten long past annoyed at people claiming racism every time I use the word "thug" though. And they claim racism based off using their own incorrect definition of the word, and trying to apply it to me. I seriously had not ever even heard the word used as a code for a black guy, until someone tried to invent a charge of racism with that definition. A thus is a "tough and violent man, often a criminal". My mental image of a thug, as said above, is a 1920s style mobster carrying a billy club, or have variations such as the dumb henchmen characters on Scooby Doo, or the generic low level bad guys I would throw at the players in a city in a D&D game. Race is no factor at all in the word.
