Precursor

On April 23rd, 2016, Beyoncé released her album Lemonade featuring the song "Sorry" (shown below). The lyrics include:"Middle fingers up, put them hands high/ Wave it in his face, tell him, boy, bye (Sorry, I ain't sorry)/ Tell him, boy, bye, boy, bye, middle fingers up/ I ain't thinking 'bout you."



Spread

On June 16th, 2019, Twitter users began comparing the situation to the How Do You Do, Fellow Kids meme. Twitter user @TheLoveBel0w posted the GIF which received over 2,300 likes and 100 retweets in two days (shown below).




On June 17th, Twitter user @AltMayo[2] mocked the Tweet with an image of Donald Trump with the text "Mr. President, Sir, Take several seats (shown below, left). The tweet was captioned, "This is a whole mood… the house! Text "OKURRRRT" to 43367 to get this exclusive wallpaper" and received over 800 likes in a day. That same day, Twitter user and social media manager[3] for the DNC tweeted, "So let’s discuss this: I (A Black Woman) conceptualized this design for the Democratic Party. @bearseason (Black Graphic Designer) beautifully & thoughtfully created the artwork. @TheDemocrats aren’t just white people, it’s #BlackCreatives too. 👋🏾" (shown below, right). The tweet gained over 500 likes but many of the comments commented one how the original tweet was still in poor taste.
