Virtue Signaling


I hesitate to point this out, in the midst of our current racial hysteria, that the “noose” that was found on the only black NASCAR driver, Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at the Taladega Speedway over last weekend was nothing more than a garage door pull-down rope ... the same as was found on all the other garage stalls for the white drivers ... see: Conservative Treehouse Entry.

The unanimous hand-wringing response to this obvious overblown normality seems like nothing more than a opportunity to virtue signal by the other NASCAR drivers ... since they must all realize the actuality of this event.

In other words, to have pointed out the truth, like above, would have labeled one a “racist” by much of our manic media. So what does one do?

Understandably, just go along to get along. Kinda like the passive crowd standing around, watching the Salem witches being burned at the stake.

Afterward: Pity the poor maintenance person who put up that particular garage door pull-down ... maybe even years ago.

Even the Conservative Treehouse article you cited includes a statement from a NASCAR official DENYING that the noose was merely a pull-down loop. For your post to be accurate, one would have to believe in a conspiracy among ALL the white drivers and officials to virtue signal in favor one one black driver.

One wonders where the current hysteria ends-up. I see there is speculation that BLM will calls for destruction of statues of Muhammad Ali for his racist statements (eg, "The white man is the devil."). BTW, the Nation of Islam believes in separation of races.

Why can't we all just get along?

Perhaps when BLM blows up Mount Rushmore?

If you can believe them, the FBI confirms the Conservative Treehouse account of things. Duped again! When will we learn?

Ok, I was wrong (something you will never hear from Trump). I failed to consider the current hysteria that would cause such a flapdoodle. Treehouse is my new source of facts.

In Swellesley, there is much ado over a landscape company that has "Lynch Tree and Landscaping" as the LOGO on its trucks. The local hens are clucking about the message it sends, and are demanding that the Lynch company change their LOGO. Same hysterical virtue signaling by white people trying to show how woke they are.

Never trust anyone called Bubba ... and the company might be called Lynch Lawn and Tree ...
