Alright, I've first heard it from conservatives, and mostly see it used by conservatives, but that doesn't really matter because it should be clear I'm speaking from my own experiences..

Anyway, you're not giving me an explanation on why eminem is virtue-signaling here. Like, all I'm looking for is a reasoning for why you think he's just doing this to appease an audience. How can you distinguish him expressing his thoughts versus him trying to appeal to people. Are these exclusive?

Well, how much of a history does he have when it comes to politics? The fact that it's opportunistic is undeniable, and it's fairly safe to assume that he wants to put distance between himself and white movements which minority groups view as being hostile. However, more generally, he's playing *to* his audience rather than against it, which automatically makes any alleged sincerity seem a bit weaker.
