Leftists declare that all Blacks are thugs

A thug is a criminal who uses violence.  Historically since most Blacks are honest and most thugs are white no one thought that the word was a racially charged one.

However now the left has declared it to be a racist term and they're attacking the Governor of West Virginia, Jim Justice, for using it.

The governor coaches a girls basketball team on the side.  His team was playing another team when the game was halted when players on that team entered the stands to assault fans of the other team.  One of the teams coaches was cited for obstructing police which means they were at the very least abetting the attacks.

It happens that the coaches and players on the team that rushed the stands are mostly Black.

What the governor said was:

". . .honest to God’s truth is the same thing happened over at [the opposing school] two different times. . .They’re a bunch of thugs. The whole team left the bench. The coach is in a fight. They walked off the court. They called the game.

The game was over when they walked off the floor — it’s as simple as that. They don’t know how to behave and at the end of the day, you got what you got."

A local attorney said that thugs is a modern version of the n-word.  Which means that lawyer is saying is that most Blacks are thugs. The n-word, odd that we can't even print that but we can print honkey, applies to all Blacks. So for thug to apply to all Blacks all Blacks must be thugs.

The reality is that these preposterous attacks on the governor are reflections of the deep seated racism of Democrats.  It's no accident that Democrats never talk about the fact that thousands of Blacks are shot each year in Democrat run cities and Democrats do nothing about it.  If you doubt how racist the Democrat politicians are ask yourself this; "Do you honestly believe that if nearly 3000 white people were being shot in Chicago each and every year that the Democrats who've been running the city for more than 80 years wouldn't do something different?".

The governor defended himself by stating the obvious:

My definition of a thug is clear — it means violence, bullying, and disorderly conduct. And we, as West Virginians, should have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior. Anyone that would accuse me of making a racial slur is totally absurd.

He's right. But the very fact that the people attacking him conflate thugs with Blacks shows how racist they are.
