"thugs" has a definition that's not racist. That definition predates any layering of secret meaning you're ascribing to it here. Trump didn't say "no quarter",

  "Thug" does have a definition that is not racist. So does "monkey". Death cultists will claim that monkey is non-racist, when used by bigots, too. "WUH WUH WUH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BRUH 1488 ISN'T RACIST IT'S JUST NUMBERS"

    You will see racism where you want to. I heard the use of thugs and didn't think about racist context. Most of the rioters aren't black people, if videos I've been watching are any indication. Consider that you may want to take everything as a bad faith expression to fit what you want to believe. I may take things in good or neutral faith to do the same. I consider that. I hope you do as well.
