Words are words and in America you have the right to use them freely even if other find them offensive. You can use any adjective you want to describe a group or persons behavior. Get over it. Savage can apply to an animal as well. No need to differentiate the color of fur to determine if it's offensive or racist.0

Yes, words are words. And as you pointed out, savage also applies to animals, and in this case (and historically) racial minorities. If you say something, expect hearing something in response.Stickman12 said:Words are words and in America you have the right to use them freely even if other find them offensive.

It's the context. Poster has said racist things in this forum before.jeffbr said:
Uncivilized, barbarian, violent, primitive. Unfortunately, the PC police have taken savage and turned it into a racist word, much like thug. I'm old enough that I grew up using thug and savage without regard to color or race. They describe(d) behavior. If someone is opposed to the use of those words, then it is perhaps they who have an issue with race. i don't think race when I see those words (until hyper-sensitive people point out that these are their trigger words and they need to run to a safe space). PC police don't get to redefine words. I will continue to use thug and savage where appropriate. And yes, white people can and have historically been savages. Same with natives, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc... Again, the word describes behavior.muskydan said:

I've already read some stuff that the victim was reaching into his car after repeated orders to get on the ground or something like that
but anyway there's anot riot (free shopping day and right to violence)
just thought this could use it's own thread rather than derail another one.

So this guy had a gun... didn't put it down when instructed... maybe has a record for carrying a firearm... Was shot by a black officer... and the police chief is black

I've never given thought to the word "thug" before. If you'd ask me I would say it means a gangster, and not related to race. I would have used that word to describe anyone who looks like they could belong to a gang. But who do you picture when you think of a gang member? Based on about the first 5 google searches I did they all place about 75-80% of gang members as Hispanic or black. I could see how some have perceived the word Thug evolve into targeting certain ethnic groups, but I would still believe people who use it are still referring to a gangster and not the group as a whole.0

It comes down to intent. If you can prove to me that the word was intentionally used as a racist reference then you have something. If not then the word is just an adjective(fierce, violent, uncontrolled), noun(primaries and uncivilized), or verb(attack or maul). The word can describe a group or people or a person regaurdless of their skin color. Appearently in your world if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then calling it a duck is offensive and racist.Go Beavers said:

People are saying that facts don't matter in a thread that was started about 2 separate situations combined into one. Can't make this stuff up.
The guy "reaching" into the car was Tulsa

historical context also matters. if the duck was named a duck by a bunch of oppressive geese 200 years ago because of the colour of its feathers and the shortness of its neck, then yeah, calling it a duck is offensive and racist.Stickman12 said:
