Okay, let's do this. Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of what they aren't telling you with Melissa Floyd.

I am here today, by myself by the way because not every episode is going to be an

interview I love interviews I love bringing other people's perspective to the

table and discussing things. But some of these episodes are going to be also just

me breaking down some data, some statistics, or giving you facts in an audio version just like I would do on my posts on

Facebook or Instagram. So today is one of my I should say favorite topics to discuss perhaps but not for the reasons you would think

not because it's a good thing but because I find it very laughable.

So what I want to talk about today is virtue signaling.

Virtue signaling, otherwise known as performative allyship.

These are some big phrases and new to a lot of people but these are terms that existed

before George Floyd before COVID these are terms that have been around for a while.

In fact, I'm starting to wonder if perhaps they were created

like just before four years ago when a lot of social justice extremists kind of came

through social media and had a brand new language that everybody needed to know and

were attacking people with all this terminology.

Things like tone policing, stay in your lane,

white privilege, white fragility, and other terms.

In fact, every time I see somebody

start to use one of those terms, I'm instantly triggered. I'm not going to lie.

Because four years ago, I saw all this happen online in a particular online baby-wearing community where a bunch of people just came through and literally just

decimated it took over

everything was cultural appropriation everything was ableist everything was racist. Everything was racist. All the white people needed to be quiet.
