  1. That's how coded language works. She's using it with a nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say no more to segments of the population that are incredibly racist. Some people genuinely use the word thug to refer to people that are actually behaving in a thuggish manner, which is why they can use it as a code word. They can't use the word negro like that anymore because pretty much just racists and anthropologists use that term. And they're clearly not the latter.

  2. Being a liberal leftie doesn't mean that you can't be racist as well. If you can't see the difference between referring to somebody based upon their behavior and what Palin is doing, I seriously suggest you do some soul searching about whether you're really as free of racism as you say. I don't agree with what the #BLM folks are doing or how they're going about it, but they're not thugs.

  3. I think just this particular issue. They don't seem to be as nuts on other issues. Except drug policy and prostitution where they completely ignore the consequences of legalizing them. I just listen to what they say and adjust accordingly. But yeah, they'd have more credibility talking about police brutality if they weren't reflexively on the side of the #BLM folks and others that protest the existence of the police.
