Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas accused Missouri Gov. Mike Parson of using a racial "dog whistle" when referring to the suspected shooters at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade as "thugs."

Lucas made the comment during an appearance on local radio show "Up to Date" on Friday. He told KCUR host Steve Kraske that he has seen similar incidents of alleged racism "time and again."

Following the shooting, Parson had said, "We can't let some thugs just take over and ruin what happened."

"I have respect for the governor. We get along well," Lucas told Kraske. "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."

"I've seen this dog whistle time and again. There's this kind of giant conservative theory on social media now that the reason these mug shots haven't been shown is because the purported defendants are Black, and if it were a White defendant we would have just shown them. That is absolutely preposterous. There are protections to juveniles," he added.

The term "thugs" has been used as a pejorative against blacks in recent years. I really don't recall it being used in describing whites.

I didn't know the kids who shot up the parade were black until the mayor told me. I just knew they were thugs.

Right?  And no way would their identities be hidden if they were white juveniles.  GTFO.  The KC Mayor can f@ck himself and his revisionist history.

Actually they would, it’s the law, until they are charged as adults.  We’ll probably get the names once the charges are upgraded

I went to the lefts favorite resource site besides snopes, Wikipedia. I can’t find the racial pejoratives section.

• Thug, a common criminal, who treats others violently and roughly, often for hire
• Thug, a member of the former Indian cult Thuggee
  • Thug Behram (ca 1765–1840), leader of the Thuggee cult
• Bambie Thug, stage name of Bambie Ray Robinson, Irish singer songwriter and Eurovision contestant (born 1994)

Fun Fact:

The meaning of words can change through common usage. At one time the #1 meaning of "gay" in the dictionary was "happy"

The POS retroactively redefines words so he can label normal people as racist.  It's focking evil.

Sure, and some people get offended when they have no reason to be offended.   They just look for reasons to get offended.

It's part of the victimhood game.  Somehow the deflection starts and somehow this becomes a narrative about racism from whites when it has nothing at all to do with this story.

We got another person who doesn't know how to be not be racist. 

You don't have to agree with everything race-baiters say just because you want to look not racist.  It's okay to disagree with a black person.  That's not racist.

Stop being offended for others, you don't know anything and it's not your fight. 

The word "Thug" has nothing to do with race. It's a word use to describe criminals, exactly like these violent thugs. 

Are we banning words now?
