Current usage and current meaning may be two different things depending on who you’re talking to, and what their viewpoint may be.

IMO, in this scenario, it’s basically the grown up version of a bully. A person who tries to get his/her way through intimidation, be it verbal or violent.

Also IMO, there is a difference between just shooting ones mouth off and actual thuggish behavior. That being said, without knowing Bank’s personal history, I can’t say which category his actions fall under. Someone that actually knows the guy could answer that better.

I am pretty disappointed that this leak couldn't wait until after the Vols vs UGA game.

If we lose this weekend, it is simply because our players were distracted and were concerned about Jeremy Banks.

Thoughts?

Yep. I had the Vols winning 56-0. Now that this video is out I’m swapping to Georgia winning 3-2.

Why would the players be distracted by someone who is a backup at best this weekend?

So, if I understand you, David Duke did NOT in fact invent the word “thug” to be used as a clever dog-whistle for closeted racists everywhere?

I’m going to have to check your sources.

Are dogs who respond to 'dog whistles' also neo-Nazis, or just the whistlers themselves?

If I don't use my forefinger and thumb to make a loud whistle - obviously racist as hell(!) - but use one of those high-pitched ones humans can't hear, have I still said "n", or the newly offending "t" word?

That is, are canine equivalents to the fascist, Western left going to put me on an SPCA 'Hate Group' list?

Well...one thing is for sure, Banks sees himself as a thug.

In the full length video he lets the female cadet know that he’s a “real street n*****” that just happens to play ball for UT. He indicates she wouldn’t want to face him without a badge and gun.

I don’t know if he is, and I’ve not called him one....but he likely has less issue with the label than many on here do.

That's where you're wrong my friend. The slueth minds of VN can read a FB blogger, decipher the truth, understand the accused in minute detail, and be posting about it with extreme confidence within hours of the alleged crimes. It's uncanny! :oops:

If anything, I can hope they are fed up with all the negativity that has been going on for the past 2+ months and play with some motivation. Well I can hope.

In this day and age, that word has racist overtones, just like the OK symbol. The Hindus or Webster's dictionary may not define it that way but 2019 America does.
