Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Only time skin color matters in casting is when it would fuck up the story, and that is exceedingly rare
Now I want to see a movie about historical slavery in the USA but only white people have been cast as the slaves.
That would be amazing, in multiple ways.
There's a movie, White Man's Burden, that hits in a similar way to what your idea does. Travolta and Harry Belafonte in world where African people had been in the role of what Europeans did in the Americas, set in the modern era (at the time of the film) in a post slavery world.
It was a thought provoking film at the time, and holds up moderately well. Travolta and Belafonte managed to play off of each other extremely well and not make it feel preachy or forced.
I learned about putting salt on the ketchup instead of the french fries from that movie
