The 'You Know, Black People' meme originates from a scene in the cult-classic sitcom 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' specifically the episode 'The Gang Gets Invincible.' In this scene, Mac and Dennis attempt to recruit black players for their football team while clumsily trying to sound culturally aware, leading to the hilariously awkward line spoken by Mac. Since its airing, the image of the two characters looking hopeful yet completely out of touch has become a staple for internet users. It is primarily used to satirize people who make sweeping generalizations, show off their performative inclusivity, or find themselves in embarrassing social situations where they try way too hard to fit in.
