what's yall thoughts on these black history memes that's all over instagram now?

[GambinoMakeItWork]

This really all comes down to people being "like/retweet whores" on Instagram and Twitter. Quick to post some sellout shyt just to get a few likes to make them feel good about their self.

Yeah, I was just commenting on memes like this not too long ago on Twitter.

Black people get really up-in-arms about being disrespected yet we're creating, spreading, and laughing at all the "bytches Be Like/nikkas Be Like" memes that depict black people in stereotypical situations.

From the outside, I'd bet that it looks like we have an agenda against ourselves. shyt's weird. :notsure:

That's what the root of the problem is. We're the ones spreading and laughing at a lot of the stereotypes and then a person of another race sees it and tries to join in. Just look at that Barbershop movie with Cedric the Entertainer where he's talking about, "What did Rose Parks do that was so special other than sit her butt down." If we don't respect our own, an outside race certainly isn't going to.

Why are black macros always in super low resolution? Is there a ghetto filter on Instagram that I don't know about?

I made a thread about this subject…

And yes, y'all n!ggas need to lighten up and laugh. Those memes are pretty funny. If you want to be offended, look up your state and national representative and b!tch about the lack of infrastructure development or lobby for the repeal of SYG laws. Stop b!tching about shyt that doesn't even matter like some stupid memes.

Not funny at all. We seem to be the only people who think it's cool or witty to disrespect and belittle our ancestors. Sad.

People in general always seem to lose their sense of humor when they're the butt of the joke....I know if this was a meme clowning white people, everyone in here would have been like

That being said.....some of these got a laugh out of me

None of those memes are funny at all. Sh*t is straight up disrespectful. Too many of us lack knowledge of self.

 

[Soundbwoy]

I taught it was funny, you have to be able to laugh at yourself sometime but I aint gonna lie if a white person sent this to me I would be

 

[Rack4K]

Memes like this reflect on the poor self image blacks have. If blacks just threw all that negative self-fulfilled inferiority in the bushes, we would take over the world.

Some of em funny

this. when you first see it, it's funny. but 12 days in to the month, black people as usual run things into the ground and it's not funny or creative anymore. it's starying to become a bit uncomfortable actually
