I'll stop using white memes in solidarity.

don't worry brother, if you do, I'll assume it's cultural appreciation.

oh CNN, I guess their viewership has gone so low they're now fishing for laugh-at-me hits with such articles usually reserved for full-blue-hair sites like salon, vice, mother jones, MSNBC, teen vogue. . .

 

[BIKES!]

So I'm white. I do a lot of presentations for smart audiences.

Can I get a ruling on this guy. I mean he is the black guy on Thunder cats, but Thunder cats are mythical creatures so not sure if I have to axe my Panthro gifs or not.

Pass. I don't know any Black people who cared about him and I didn't know he was Black when I was a kid.

Nice to see our very own Trotts get the recognition he worked so hard to get. Respect.

So I'm white. I do a lot of presentations for smart audiences. One thing I do intentionally when I create slides is have diverse representation when I include images of people. So...if I use only images of majority race individuals, then I'm being racist for excluding people based on race. And if I have well balanced representation of races in my slides then I'm being racist.

Thanks OP I've learned something today.

That’s how they get you. Classic Kafka trap.

John Blake has been working for CNN for a while and coming up with weird takes is his shtick. He's a clown.
