A poster like transplant is an example of where it’s race-motivated, which is not okay. He’s called Black criminals thugs and Black athletes who committed crimes thugs, which could be fair, but he’s also called an educated Black athlete (without any criminal history) he didn’t like a thug, has never called a white individual a thug, and even thought a white athlete who committed a crime didn’t qualify as a thug.
When your use of thug (or any derogatory word) is racially motivated, you know the answer of whether it’s okay or not.
