This sort of thing is so depressing that I have a hard time even looking at it, even though I guess there might be some entertainment value in it.
Without the transcendent Christian God, they have no ultimate reference point in their lives, so they lack a source of meaning/purpose and significance. But everyone wants that, so they have to make something up as a substitute. Virtue-signaling is an attempt to feel better about themselves and their empty meaningless lives.
some entertainment value
Like a bad minstrel show, minus the white pancake or blackface makeup.
Only without anny humor, because nothing a liberal does is funny. There is no sense of humor. And more often than not, they can’t resist selling snake oils.
If a black person believes that blacks are better at basketball and dancing, does that make them a black supremacist? Is it okay for them to be supremacists?
I wonder if this was a response to the BLM rioting in Kenosha, and elsewhere.
Right. I guess I'm not that entertained by raw cringe.
I never found minstrel shows entertaining at all when they were sometimes on television back in the 1960s, and I never found cross-dressing humor (like Some Like It Hot and its ilk) funny either. I just don't get that kind of humor.
My sense of humor is much more oriented along the "not that there's anything wrong with that" axis.
“… utterly unsurprised to see that almost no black people live there. Fewer than 400 in a population of over 40,000.”
You could insert Seattle or the entire state for that matter, as the source for this article. Virtue Signaling especially since the invention of socialist media, has really illustrated who the Godless ones are that walk among us.
The real punchline came in a later episode where Tom Hanks appeared as a Trump supporting Republican. Turned out that working class Tom Hanks had more in common with the working class black people on the show, and did really well in the competition.
Google "Tom Hanks Black Jeopardy" if you want a really good laugh.
Why are they burning an open flame, emitting CO2 into the atmosphere?
I worked with a Unitarian Universalist a couple decades ago. A standard leftist karen.
At the time, she had their “creed” (which seems to have since changed) printed on cards she would show to people.
The feel-good, saccharine slogans could have been lifted straight out of an avert for Campbell’s Soup, Walmart, or some UN Agency.
Well, at least one of them has a white diaper covering half her face.
That whole thing was Cringe Central to me. You can see and hear how impressed with themselves they are. Eeewww.
“Cringe! Definitely Cringe! Cringe! Yes Cringe!”, replied Rainman.
“The best thing about this is that Saturday Night Live, back when it was still actually funny, did a series of “Black Jeopardy” skits...”
An idea they ripped off from Dave Chappelle:

Right, but there’s more.
Self-worship leads a person to believe that he is the most important being in existence and that other people are worth less than himself.
So, the self-worshiper must align his belief that he is best with his actual experiences with other people, some of whom will inevitably be better at certain things than the self-worshiper.
The self-worshiper sees this and is faced with the choice either to accept his flawed and imperfect humanity, which must include accepting that he is, in fact, not deserving of worship over every other person, or to reject the very structure and form of his own being.
If the person takes the path of rejecting his true nature in order to believe himself divine he will begin to hate other people who he perceives to be better at certain things because their very existence is proof against his divinity.
This path leads to the eventual hating of all other people and, also, to eventual insanity.
Just my two cents.
