Excellent. God we got that out of the way. So, still protesting then yes?

Should we now ban all of the Thug Kitchen cookbooks?
Where I grew up we called the people from the poor Italian neighborhood thugs because they acted tough and swore a lot. Didn’t know any poor black people until I moved to Florida. The black people I knew in NJ were from middle to upper middle class families.
Yep the blacks in Florida were called the n word, of course. I guess it morphed into
“ thug” due to urban culture/rap music. I dunno. To me any low life criminal or bully could be a thug.
But I do get your point.
