Virginia City Goes Wild Over Alleged Racist Comments
Sponsored By. Greensboro Triad Access
Virginia City is a town known for its historical charm and classic car events, but now it is in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. The scene was captured on a now-viral TikTok video posted by @unclerickyd1 on the app that garnered well over 470,000 views during Hot August Nights. The video shows a Black man accusing a group of people of making racist comments that mentioned a “hanging tree” with racial slurs.
The busting continued and was unstoppable by anyone until a lady working in Firehouse Saloon came and started shouting out of love for this guy and presented him as her brother to get the man down, and she took the guy to the sheriff. Right now, this whole scenario in the town is a discussion point for the issue of racism and the code of conduct in public places of Virginia City.
