In a way it’s a relief that they’re finally saying the quiet part out loud. Might as well put our cards on the table, right? The trucker’s Freedom Convoy has been selling merchandise with the Confederate flag on it, so that was a tell.
Curious that the Freedom Convoy is selling things with the images of slavery on them, but again, nuance is not exactly a strong point with these people.
This guy says it all.

When they get done tarring and feathering Black Lives Matter, there’s always the rainbow intersections. D.C. is going to need a lot of tar and a lot of feathers. Better call the pillow man for the feathers — oh, wait. That would mean tarring and cheap foaming the intersections. Never mind.
And there it is folks. Confederate flag gear being sold at the Freedom Convoy encampment at Hagerstown Speedway.

“Freedom” is another one of those words with a common meaning and a dog whistle meaning and the dog whistle meaning is slavery. It’s vintage Orwell, “Freedom is Slavery.” This is the Slavery Convoy, make no mistake. You can’t make this stuff up.
It’s pretty obvious, they’ve never gotten over losing their slaves.
And another thing that is right, is what Lyndon Johnson said many years ago. “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
That is exactly what this is about. LBJ nailed it then, and it’s still true today.
Should be interesting – hot tar (which is needed) can cause third degree burns. Now they’re going to pour it on a street which isn’t quite level (it slopes down slightly from the centre to let rain run off).
Now hot tar is liquid – and they’ll be standing there and watching it flow towards them. They definitely deserve a Darwin Award

Taring someone as used to be done is a brutal act. As Daithi noted it burns skin. Now, I actually WOULD be okay with substituting another non-harmful (organic even) substance like molasses, especially if something non-harmful could be added to turn it black colored like actual tar. Other than swim trunks coat them with the stuff and dump feathers on em! Then parade them (slowly) out of town on the bed of as many flatbed trucks as needed.
I was more thinking that (with a spot of luck) they’d be the recipients of their own hot tar as they pour it on the ‘Black lives Matter’. Now it can’t be a ‘mural’ as that is on a wall (murus) – maybe ‘adital’ (aditus – avenue)
