Text on the meme
WE KNOW WHO CONTROLS THE INSTITUTIONS, MEDIA, BANKS, COURTS, AND THE GOVERNMENT! WHO DOES? STRAIGHT, WHITE MEN! PHEW!
What it means

A four-panel cartoon shows one character claiming that straight white men control institutions, media, banks, courts, and the government. When asked who controls them, he answers “Straight, white men!” while the suited cigar-smoking figure relaxes with relief. The joke satirizes conspiratorial political claims and the idea that the speaker is exposing a powerful group while conveniently identifying the group represented by the other character.
