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.

Thug describes a behavior not the pigmentation of a person's skin. I suggest the mayor check his bias before he scolds someone else.

Thug - noun - a violent or brutish criminal or bully
The dictionary agrees with the governor, not the race baiting mayor.

I had a trip planned to Kansas City this summer that involved five days of income for hotels and restaurants for a special event. Just canceled to avoid the thugs. Thugs, thugs, THUGS.

Okay Mayor Lucas, from the on-line dictionary.
thug
/THəɡ/
noun
1.
a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal.
"he was attacked by a gang of thugs"
Where was the Governor wrong in his description of the lowlifes who shot. Regarding the protections to the minors, where was the protections to the people these minors shot and the one individual who was killed? This Mayor is dumber than a pile of rocks. And is a bigot to boot. The minors who shot the guns were thugs in the classical definition. You can't put lipstick on these thugs to disguise their actions.

After four days, this is the first we have publicly heard about the race of these thugs, although deep in our hearts, we didn’t have to be told. Like Ann Coulter said, if they were white, we would have been told immediately. The mayor of KC is deeply embarrassed by those thugs.

I have lots of other words that are equally appropriate and more descriptive.

Did the mayor offer a better term? As for pictures of the shooters, I must have seen thousands and I'd never lose a bet on what race they were.

I get it. Thug is the new N word, so no white person is allowed to say it, right Mayor Lucas? I think Hooligan is still OK, but first I need to check the latest PC dictionary.

Is the Mayor callin' them Boys DOGS now???
Is he admitting to being a "Dawg"?
Dog whistles are silent, can ONLY be heard by the dogs.
Then again perhaps he is suggesting that the Governor assumes the "Yutes" are "Indian"?

(no chance it has anythink to do with Tupac Shakur(Praise be upon him) or any of the modern mainstream Thug Life music and culture)

Well, if he refers to me as White, I'm offended, because he's obviously using a term that refers to Walter White the drug dealer on Breaking Bad.

Does the good KC mayor think all thugs are black? How racist! Thuggish behavior has nothing to do with racist. Btw, the KC thugs are murderers.

He's blaming the governor that the term "thug" has become associated with a race other than white? To be honest, I know of more than a few white thugs. Come to think of it I know of thugs of every race.
It's when you don't publish ANYthing about the perps that people assume they are black or muslim. Just the way it now is.

I bet the mayor has political aspirations to be the Governor and is already campaigning.

Lucas is a racist hater, and an enabler for the black thugs in the inner city.

In Atlanta there is a Rap Artist who uses the stage name "Young Thug." His ambulance chaser defined Thug as a acronym for: Truly Humbled Under God.

Re #4, if the meeting was out in the suburbs, most of them are OK. But downtown KC, not so much. I always go armed and alert, and will NOT go to venues which will be disarming me, like the big sports arenas.
Typical violent inner city, and this mayor makes things WORSE.

Whenever I hear some comment called a “dog whistle” I know that it is a lie made of whole cloth.

My neighboring state and for sure, my home city is no stranger to racial strife, but never have I heard "thug" as anything other than a vandalizing trouble maker; and certainly never as a racial epithet. It must be a regional thing. Maybe it's a FOX thing, or just a writer-thing. Improved vocabulary is in order. More likely, just editorial opinion.

Now you know exactly why Kansas City is among the most dangerous places in America... The stupidity emanating from City Hall is palpable!
We must assume that the Grandiose Mayor considers these (unthug) perpetrators among the Best and Brightest of their respective communities. Given the performance of that mayor, maybe they are! Nevertheless, that does not make the use of "THUG" undeserving!

I haven't seen the pictures, yet. No idea what race these shooters are.
But "Thugs" is an excellent description.

Most people call them "thugs." The left-wing news media calls them "teens" and "youngsters," But we all know who they are.

Nearly two dozen people were shot and a beloved mother was murdered in his city but his focus is on a word used to describe the shooters. Another Democrat mayor who is worse than useless.

Well I didn't know so I went and looked, and Yep.
Quinton Lucas is black.
Can't have anyone calling two murderous young black men Thugs.
It's no wonder that there are so many black thugs when those who are placed in responsible office will not call them out for what they are.

Be kind, Quinton is acting perfectly normal for a black democrat mayor. Defend the color first then be concerned about the high body count and all of the evil guns involved. Brandon Scott, Lori Lightfoot, LaToya Cantrell, Brandon Johnson, Andre Dickens, Karen Bass, Muriel Bowser have all shown him the way it's done.

This is why we can't have nice things. Blacks see everything through a race canard and will never acknowledge the obvious. When have you ever heard a black condemn the criminal actions of other blacks? Only excuses are offered.

Interesting that he doesn't provide another alternative.
This is all part of the problem. Those juveniles were not legally able to have those firearms but the mayor fails to remind people of that fact.
Now, they should start looking to find out how they obtained the firearms and hold those people responsible too.

Is Quinton Lucas a Black democrat...Oh never mind. Also, I've got a word that aptly describes the perpetrators, but I like posting here so I'll leave you all the initials, D.A.N.
