The 'Replace Racist Statues' meme gained massive traction during the global social justice movements of 2020, specifically following the removal of Confederate and colonial monuments. While the movement was rooted in serious activism, the internet responded with a wave of creative and humorous suggestions for replacements, ranging from pop culture icons like Shrek and Britney Spears to local heroes like Dolly Parton. The meme format typically highlights the contrast between an outdated historical figure and a modern, beloved symbol of unity or entertainment. It serves as a tool for both political commentary and lighthearted internet satire.
