After the series of tragedies that have weighed us down over the past few weeks, we ALL need a good laugh. The dragging of Taylor Swift was a Twitter party to remember this week, but @IllCapitano94‘s #ConfuseWhitePeopleParty could literally go on forever. When he dropped the invite, Black Twitter came with memes and GIFs in hand, ready to party (and throw palm trees).

I mean, we’ve been doing it inadvertently all of our lives, so why not?

When we arrived.

Things got real very quickly.

But, we can’t make this stuff up.

Some of our dear friends just didn’t (and never will) know the wrath of the black mother.

Or, about ‘the nod’.

But truthfully, this hashtag was made for black women.

Because every black girl with natural hair has had this moment.

And this one.

White co-worker: “WOW how did your hair grow so fast?”

*Cue elementary school flash-backs about explaining the concept of ash*

(and flashbacks about explaining other things that we really never got an explanation for)

We really just took our blackness lessons as children and ran with it.

This one was taught every time our parents picked up the phone or talked to anyone who wasn’t black.

Now we’re the ones teaching lessons.

Because the struggle to exist can be way too real.
