Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) claims Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) used a racial “dog whistle” when he referred to the Chiefs parade shooting suspects as “thugs.”
The New York Post reported that Lucas made this assessment on KCUR’s Up to Date radio program.
Parson had reacted to Wednesday’s shooting by saying, “We can’t let some thugs just take over and ruin what happened.”
Lucas told KCUR, “I have respect for the governor. We get along well. I disagree strongly with how he would describe that situation. I certainly do think this was criminal activity. It was lawlessness, and I think that that’s troubling. But ‘thugs’ is a dog whistle in the most classic sense.”

Trump to blame in 3...2...1...
We’re no longer allowed to call thugs “thugs”? I’ve seen this term applied to thugs of all races.
Someone needs to ask what her definition of “ thug “ is.
‘Thug’ was the name of a criminal gang along the old Silk Road between India and Pakistan. It has nothing to do with race............................
They can’t call thugs as “thugs”?
Well KC checked the box on diversity when they elected that mayor......and police chief as well for that matter.
Isn’t that really the most important thing?
GMTA
I am upset that they are called thugs too. They should be called feral urban thugs.
Any human being shooting another human being IS A THUG!!
LOL, so now “thug” is synonymous with black?
Black Thugs
Every day in every way, Democrats show us they are the real racists.
I hope hizzoner is not saying that “thug” is another term for young black male.
That guy is really going off - seems more concerned regarding his perceived ‘microaggression’ than the mass shooting committed by his homies.
At some point people may start to realize that ‘Universal Voting’ is not such a good idea...
I suggest that the mayors of Kansas City, Chicago, and New York have a problem with racism. ALL THREE OF THESE “mayors” are themselves RACIST!
Simply because they are ALL black, they see EVERYTHING as racist. F*cking Losers ALL THREE!!!!
THAT is exactly the point - and that idiot mayor doesn't even realize it.
Screw this POS...Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson used the word thug properly and accurately
Any gang committing murder and shooting kids fits the definition of “thug” a word which originated in india as “thugee.”
Thugee:
Thuggee (UK: /θʌˈɡiː/, US: /ˈθʌɡi/) are actions and crimes carried out by Thugs, historically, organised gangs of professional robbers and murderers in India. The English word thug traces its roots to the Hindi ठग (ṭhag), which means ‘swindler’ or ‘deceiver’. Related words are the verb thugna (’to deceive’), from the Sanskrit स्थग (sthaga ‘cunning, sly, fraudulent’) and स्थगति (sthagati, ‘he conceals’).[2] This term, describing the murder and robbery of travellers, was popular in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent, especially the northern and eastern regions of India.[3]

A sure sign that the speaker has no brains and no argument is when they use “racist” or “phobia” in their silly arguments.
Screw the people who voted for that POS.
