Democrats criticized for wearing Kente cloth stoles in honor of George Floyd
Their clothing choice was derided on social media by some, with one author, Obianuju Ekeocha,
posting a video saying the move was “virtue signaling.”
I had to say something about the American politicians shameless and ignorantly using the Kente fabric as a prop in their virtue signaling. *I’m usually more mild mannered than this so please forgive me, I’m upset.
“I’m sure they put around their necks as some kind of mark or show of unity or solidarity with black people,” Ekeocha said in part. “So, in other words…this colorful fabric they had around their necks as some sort of placating symbol to show that they are not racist and they are together with black people.”
