George Floyd Mural Mistaken for Obama

When I was in Kabul, Afghanistan, I saw a George Floyd mural. I asked the locals what they knew about it. One thought it was Obama and almost nobody knew anything about it. نمی توانیم نفس بکشیم I CAN’T BREATHE

A man walks past a Kabul mural featuring George Floyd, protest imagery, and an Iranian flag motif. The joke is that local people reportedly mistook the mural for Barack Obama or did not recognize George Floyd, highlighting how distant the American protest context was from them.
