I think they are all butthurt that America is not nearly as overtly racist as they have in their own minds. They try and try and try to show us all how bad things are. But cant. Why? Because they arent really that bad.
Are there racists? Absolutely. Is it as bad as they like to claim, with crosses being burned every night and lynchings every weekend? ABSOLUTELY NOT. And when they cant show how bad it is (because it isnt) They have to either reach for it (sometimes a cigar is just a cigar) or manufacture something for us all to see.
The world they believe exists is a world where two white men would assault a gay black man in the wee hours of the morning in 9 degree weather in downtown Chicago, and dare to declare that it’s MAGA country. In reality, the world we actually live in is one where someone would pay two Nigerians to fabricate it, AND also one where half the nation would believe it’s true.
And it gets even more absurd. Well, Idunno. It’s hard to beat the first one. But we don’t live in a world where someone on a black NASCAR driver’s race team left a noose in the garage stall to send a message of hate. We live in a world where at best, people see a simple knot and assume the absolute worst interpretation of its purpose, without any evidence, when there were many other more likely explanations.
