As for this book title it doesn't even make sense
I just thought it was stupid
They obviously don't know thug is often associated with blacks but they're clueless dumb whites I'm sure
!!!
That's why I say they could have done some homework.
I don't necessarily think they sat down one day like "lets offend black people and be blatantly racist!

"
They're just kinda ignorant to it all.
And for your Vonc -
It's no one's place to tell others how they should feel about words that have been used to disparage Blacks for years.
That's what the H&M mom did - she said "I don't think like that". It's OK if you don't think like that, it's acceptable and fine with me if you don't see the issue with something or are even unaware of the connotation, but don't say other people have something wrong with them because they found something offensive. It's very reasonable to be offended given the word's history in this country.
