Thugs come in every shape, size and color and have never been limited to a certain racial group. That said, it doesn’t exclude any racial groups either. You also don’t have to kill or shoot someone to be a thug. You can exhibit the traits through a variety of ways. Intimidation of any type can properly label you as a thug.
Now, meet the thug mayor of Dolton, Illinois, Tiffany Henyard. For the record, Henyard is black, but she is not considered a thug because of her race. She is a thug because of her actions and her attitude.
If there was ever a case of power going to a person’s head, it’s Henyard. From her extravagant manner of dress and heavy makeup that some have described as looking like a “gangsta,” or a drug kingpin, to her unbridled spending, she is an out-of-control thug.
Having been elected in 2021, it didn’t take long to grow tired of her. As noted by Ballotpedia, Henyard, a Democrat, was subjected to a recall in 2022. Even though the vote was in favor of recalling her, the results, which would have removed her, were ruled invalid.
