Re: Football figures commenting on George Floyd & related events
There are so many layers of dysfunction being drilled into kids heads these days involving the concepts you just nicely laid out here. One of the reasons I find virtue signalling so off putting is because it's so presumptuous and condescending. The role of noble "rescuer", lol. You nailed it. My kid was even taught this concept of the "white rescuer" but I don't know that she internalizes it. They definitely do need their victims to feel good about themselves as well and like you said will redefine and create affronts to champion in order to maintain that identity. Thus microaggressions etc.

Re: Football figures commenting on George Floyd & related events
Ugh...Instagram and practically everywhere is unreadable or unlistenable right now.
So many people feel the need to post how they feel about the situation. And that they “stand with justice” or “reject racism”...like who the fuck accepts racism?! Lol.
These responses are pathetic IMO.
Because come Monday, most of them are going to hop into their BMW 3 series and head into their 6-figure job and not give a damn about the Black community.
But it’s cool though...they stand with the protesters...whilst sitting in their cozy home.

Re: Football figures commenting on George Floyd & related events
Ultimately the only person you can control is yourself. I wish they would teach kids that. Your impact on the world is determined by you, and how you treat people. It doesn't have to be announced or signaled to the world. To me that's trying to get something for nothing.

Re: Football figures commenting on George Floyd & related events
I actually found a group of people I despise more than liberals and that's virtue-signalers. True they're usually the same person, but even common sense Republicans are joining in this stupidity.
Apparently blacking out your profile picture is a thing now, in some sort of solidarity? Makes a lot of sense. Those black folks who just watched their businesses burn to the ground can sleep peacefully knowing the pic of some random jackass is now blank.
Instead of being complete fuck-nuggets who honestly seem to believe that showing all your social-media contacts just how woke you are has any effect on anything, why not trying to figure out solutions to the real problems. That was a hypothetical question. There are a couple reasons people don't want to have conversations about the state of things.
- If you point out that racism probably isn't as big a factor as they think it is, the virtue-signaler is going to call you a racist, bigot, whatever. Any possible conversation on breaking a crap cycle is bogged down by the stupids. A telling hint that you're part of the problem; you believe implicit bias is a real thing contrary to every single experiment trying to prove its veracity showing it isn't.
- Accusations of racism is a panacea to virtue-signalers. They're worse than drug fiends because at least the crackheads are providing jobs for dope dealers. Virtue-signalers are the new auto-flagellants, publicly lashing themselves in an orgasmic spectacle to prove that they alone are worthy of forgiveness. Probably a good idea to ask what these people are so desperate to be forgiven for."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”
