Corporations After Black History Month

Text on the meme

Corporations when black history month ends

What it means

A distressed, tearful man in a dark military-style setting stares and writhes in anguish as the caption says “Corporations when black history month ends.” The joke mocks companies that performatively celebrate Black History Month and then abruptly abandon their Black-focused messaging when the month is over. The dramatic reaction is amplified by the solemn gospel-style music, “Like a Prayer (Choir Version From “Deadpool & Wolverine”)” by I’ll Take You There Choir, turning corporate performativity into melodramatic grief.
