The scourge of Rich White-on-Rich White violence has just got to end. Where are the moral arbiters here, discussing the fraying societal fabric of Rich White society?

Well, it seems the son fled the scene on foot. Went to fancy schools, âattendedâ Princeton. Probably a sharp dresser, snarky sense of humor, hot cars, all that. Of course I donât know that, or have any idea what actually happened in the apartment. One thingâs probable thoughâsonny boy wonât be called a âthugâ at any point, even if he murdered dear old dad. Not a thug.

Is one of those âWhat do you call ââ jokes.
Hint: A good start.

Because that would be a murderer. A thug is more of a mobster or gang type that continually act âthuggishâ. A crime like this is more like an instinctive crime, where the person had not been habitually violent. The Gottiâs are thugs, this is more like what a spoiled brat punk would do, assuming he did it of course.
A thug is a thug. They can be any race, itâs based on behavior and personality. OJ and Dan White killed people, but they were not âthugsâ. When a mobster looks to collect debts from slow payers, he sends his thugs. When gang members steal stuff through violence, they are thugs. Color has no relevance.
Looks more like a domestic violence issue if his kid did it.

Mo money, mo problems.
Or, according to too common usage, any kid of color who gets shot by the cops. And therein lies the rub.

Syzygy? Interesting name for a company:
Such comments are usually made by ignorant fools, so I never use that as a gauge for what I say. And I donât find that usage to be common either, I usually see it on talk shows or in comments sections.
If I have a summer party with friends and put out a lot of food, I include watermelon because itâs a great summer food. I donât worry that some ignorant fools tie watermelon to black people, and my black friends who attend would think I was being real stupid if I did.
I agree the term gets used when it does not apply. But you would also agree that if a black guy does in fact act thuggish, I can call him a thug, yes? And if a kid murders his dad in an argument, that kid, regardless of color, is not a thug, he is a murderer, yes? Even serial killers are not âthugsâ, they are serial killers. Al Capone was a âthugâ.
There has to be a joke along the lines of â⌠is a good startâ lurking somewhere in this story.
Collateral damage, or unexpected dividend? Hedge Fund has a Romneyesque odor that always turns my nose. Condolences to the family.

Well, except the kid if he did itâŚ
The question for YOU is what youâd call a white pink kid doing the same thing.
Probably answer: MrComments would call him by his first name.
Hows about that white woman driving down the street wearing body armor while shooting at people? Did her body armor keep her alive or her whiteness?
Weâre certain that you and only you have the answerâŚ

MrComments is a world authority on all things âthuggishâ, âthugâ and âthuggeryâ
But heâs not a racist 'cause he has himself watermelons at his BBQs and he has a blaaah friend.

I particularly enjoyed the part where he explained to me the meanings of such common English words as âmurderâ and âthug.â Heâs over on another thread explaining what brunch is. Did you know itâs a meal served as a cross between breakfast and lunch? You ever hear tell of such a thing? Dern if they donât know them some words up there in NYC.
