Successful black man where have you been?
Trump has been in office. He went into hiding.
Venezuela.
There are no successful black men, and we’ll prove it by making sure they leave the country.
There was a time when all memes were demotivational posters.
Despair.com (apparently still around!) was my go-to back in the day for those
I miss those
It was a more civilized age back then…
We where supposed to build the future.
Got addicted to memes instead.
Sorry Gen Z
But those memes though
Ate too many Avocado Toasts for it and forgot to shake the job tree with all the jobs for us.

I miss the simpler days
I remember when memes were just a picture of a duck with wheels or a gif of a dancing baby.
Alright Gramma, let’s get you back to bed
You used to have to call the internet on the phone!
I had to blow the dust off this one https://conanzeromus.ytmnd.com/
Jesus Christ, I can’t believe ytmnd is still around
Was obsessed back in the day.
Speaking of ancient memes I showed this to my teen the other day and they didn’t even begin to understand.
Hmm, wired earbuds (RIP) and the phone with buttons dates it a bit, but captchas are still around (and infidelity). Although, I’m seeing less and less of the distorted text kind these days.
I haven’t seen a captcha like that in years and my teen didn’t even understand it as a captcha at all. If you’re still seeing those I’m definitely curious where.
I don’t get half of the comments. Ragecomic boomer here.
I dunno if you can claim Boomer if rage-comics were your time; maybe Gen-X?
There was a time when memes were just dudes fighting snails in the margins of medieval manuscripts.
Whoa, do you know where this is from?
I remembered your request and have finally found some semblance of a source.
Hey, thanks for coming back to this!
That seems wrong, unfortunately. It was a weekly magazine, and there was a May 25 edition that year (which also doesn’t contain it).
Flipping through was totally worth it for the early Churchill stuff, the ominous commentary on how cool getting reparations from Germany is going, the article satirising Henry Ford’s promise to make horses obsolete, and the 1/3 of cartoons I completely didn’t understand, amongst other things. The HFT in the corner of this cartoon might be a hint if someone else were to try, but no artist immediately presents themselves.
The past.
Sorry I’m not more helpful.

Back when racism was at least thinly veiled…
I always saw it as mocking racists, but with the power of hindsight I guess it’s a real Schrödinger’s racist situation.
Agree. The whole point is to lean into a racist stereotype, and then subvert it.
