Kansas City mayor accuses governor of racial 'dog whistle' for calling Super Bowl parade shooters 'thugs'

2024-02-19

[FoxNews] Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas says he sees racial dog whistles 'time and again'.

As ‘tis said, if you’re the only one who can hear the dog whistle, perhaps you’re the dog.

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."

#10 And speaking of... all that stuff...

Doom and Dust, or, Down Like Donkey Kong!

As tension with China was tightening...
"Predictable, ain't it?"
"But frightening!"
"It's just what we do
In Amerikka, too,
Comrade: knock down the block
And rebuild for the flock.
Same old socialist shlock..."

#7 This is the latest "dog whistle" shooter, in the Burnsville MN shooting yesterday, but the genre seems similar

#6 So the Good Mayor confirms the shooters are teenaged Blacks.

"Hey let's go to the civic pride celebration of back-to-back Super Bowls!"
"Just a second, let me get extra strapped, someone may say something about my shoes."

Blacks: stop stereotyping us
Also Blacks:

But since it is Black History Month - who is Kamela Harris', who is not Black, favorite living rapper, and what was his 'music brand'?

#5 noun

1 - A cutthroat or ruffian; a hoodlum.

2 - One of a group of professional criminals, devotees of Kali, who robbed and murdered travelers in northern India until the mid-1800s.

3 - One of an association of robbers and murderers in India who practiced murder by stealthy approaches, and from religious motives. They have been nearly exterminated by the British government.

I believe its a very apt description. Unless the perps were of sub-continent India, it thus wasn't related to race. Thank you mayor for unquestionably showing us you are the real racist. Given the shooting's location, its very Kansas City.

#2 If you hear the whistle, you must be the dog. That's how it works.
