I stay away from the politics forum, so please, fill me in on what "thug" actually means
thug
noun
a violent person, especially a criminal
So what make a Colin Kaepernick fan or somebody who agrees with him a "thug"?
There is a segment of people that agree with him that do so because of their disdain for America. These are generally the low life's of our society. If this bothers you, so be it.
