The memes i made have different topics. So many topics i could choose from but these stood out to me. First meme is an representation of many african artifacts scattered all over the world in different museums. Those artifacts hold so many cultural values to so many people but they are being kept in display cases to make for those who stole and pillaged from the owners and till today refuse give them back to the rightful owners.
Next meme is the the "eat the rich" phrase that has become popular. The rich And upper class benefit from exploitation of the masses and hoard their wealth to take more, so the joke is to get back at them poor people have to Literally eat the rich. Last meme is about police reform. Police Brutality is a big problem and everytime the news of a police officer abusing their power, there's always the topic of reforming the police. To me there is no reforming the police only abolition. Policing started from slave patrols turn into sheriff's so bias is inbuilt directly into the system and it was never meant to protect people but to protect the properties of the upper class.
Memes have become a coping mechanisms in our today society especially on social media. the best way to react to some news is laughter and these memes provided it. its an escape from brief second from reality. From making memes about someone's funny accident or making memes about the worlds impending doom. it's just to make us escape for a while.
