As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I can't put it into words but the whole genre of black men replacing historical figures of memes feels wrong to me. "wouldn't it be silly if Lenin was black🤣🤣" is basically the entire joke.

Correct me if im wrong

I view these posts sort of like the ones about various historical figures being from the Balkans / Turkish. It seems fairly harmless to me at least, but I also don't live in a country with a noteable black/african population (most non-whites here are either Turkish or Arabs, and most North Africans don't seem to consider themselves "african" in any way).
