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 can't help but notice there was no option for "italian" disgost

Genuine question. I'm Spanish and I feel white AF, would I be considered "Hispanic" on the other side of the pond?

White's a construct. Italians and Greeks weren't white 50 years ago, but to answer your question, depends who you ask

I never understood the point of this. There are so many great people of color who were also great revolutionaries. Why not just post one of them instead?
