I miss the simpler days
Successful black man where have you been?
There was a time when all memes were demotivational posters.
I miss those

We where supposed to build the future.
Got addicted to memes instead.
Sorry Gen Z

But those memes though
I remember when memes were just a picture of a duck with wheels or a gif of a dancing baby.
