The meme is a humorous comparison between two historical events. The top text reads: "In 1776, a bunch of dead white guys wrote a document that said 'all men are created equal'". The bottom text responds with: "Then in 1863, Abraham Lincoln said 'all men are created equal' while owning slaves". The meme is poking fun at the hypocrisy of the founding fathers' ideals being in direct conflict with the harsh reality of slavery in the US.

Za, Jonathan M. Katz 5 @ @Katz... -14h » — Just fyi, it was obvious in 1776 that there was something ridiculous about people who enslaved thousands of other people on the basis of their skin color declaring that “all men are created equal." It didn't take years for people to figure it out. It took like thirty seconds. O43 113176 ©se656 ,7, at Jonathan M. Katz &) @ , @KatzOnEarth An English dude named Thomas Day read the Declaration once and wrote, in 1776: “If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature it is an American patriot signing resolutions of independency with the one hand and with the other brandishing a whip over his affrighted slaves.” 7/3/18, 22:08
