Who cares.... Just because someone dresses as a thug, doesn't mean they are one. When I think of thugs...I think of the guys on street corners selling drugs, carrying guns, and just not carrying about their future...If you go to school....you're not a thug...if you have a job...you're not a thug...if you're at the mall every week to "hangout"....you're not a thug.
I don't know man. I've dealt with really obnoxious and rude people wearing two thousand dollar Brioni suits and also dealt with really helpful people who appear to be "thugs." I try not to judge anyone based on their appearance or what they are wearing. Your example of being less threatening is only perceived though. What could be threatening to you, might not be threatening to me. A police cop in a uniform might not be threating to an old white guy, but might be threatening to an inner city kid. A banker in an expensive suit might be threatening to a kid working at McDonald's, but might not be to his country club colleagues. My brother is a prime example. He is a board certified radiologist who had some of the finest medical education in this country, but he dresses like an inner city street kid who might appear very threatening to most folks who don't know him. Don't let appearances fool you.
The funny thing is that the people that call other people thugs don't even know what real thugs are. I think White America see thugs that are black people that has tattoos, wearing a hat backward, or wearing a du rang. If people think what they see on tv is thugs, they should go to a hood near them.
Really? So you've seen AI rob steal or kill someone with your own eyes because that's what REAL thugs do.
