I see no reference to a black man in that definition. It is the ACTIONS of the player that make him a thug, not his skin color.
Sheesh.

I think we all agree on the textbook definition and even the orgin of the word itself. In the heat of the moment when I'm passing judgements and making off color remarks, sorry sometimes I do, I don't refer to
Wikipedia or Google.
The bigger question is have we, as a whole, been conditioned to think of and label a particular culture in a certain way? I think it's a valid argument.
