[QUOTE="ramblinvak, post: 243045, member: 178"] I understand his views are probabaly not aligning with yours, but to call an individual with no criminal history, gang affiliation, or even a single arrest, a "thug" is unfortunately part of the grander racial issues we are faced with today. It's an unfair and unprofounded characterization of an individual who claims to have strong religious faith and has participated in philanthropic activities, which are things you don't see in "thugs". This is more than about being politically correct. It is statements like this that continue to be perpetuated and have a lasting impact on. Like I mentioned, you are allowed to not agree with his actions, but I implore you to not throw around such a term like that so casually. [/QUOTE]
