Every time there's a new game or a movie that features black people as rulers, action heroes, or anything not stereotypical, it's mocked as anti-white proaganda, with this meme being the first response when people see it. Because it's so far-fetched of an idea that black people could be more than stereotyped characters. Nope. I don't even know where the meme comes from, but it just implies blacks are ignorant of their history. We were rulers, we were kings, and we were queens. But I guess the idea deserves to be mocked.

No, it's an actual thing. There's a following called the Black Israelites who basically believe that black people are the real jews and just about everything of significant importance or progress was because of black people; white people simply stole all the credit. Also, everyone important in history was actually black.

I mean just like descendants of Europeans, that's just a tiny tiny minority of people.

The meme is racist, but most people of ANY races descendants were just regular people.

And I don't get why people praise their descendants either, it doesn't matter who they where, what they did. It matters what YOU do, forge your own path, even if it's really difficult.

Just Googled it. From, and I hate using a site like this, knowyourmeme.

The phrase is believed to have been coined on 4chan’s /pol/ (politically incorrect) board sometime around late 2015 by users who began assuming an increasingly skeptical and critical stance towards the new wave of African American civil rights protests surrounding a series of racially charged police brutality controversies, most notably the #blacklivesmatter movement and civil unrest in Baltimore.

I had to look it up and it stems from black people thinking the rulers of ancient Egypt were black when in fact ancient Egypt wasn't black.

Why not instead just use the African royalty? Negus and shit like that.

If you had known what that word means you wouldn't have had such a kneejerk reaction. The word Negus isn't offensive in the least.

I really haven't. I've seen the "we president now" one, and I've seen people legit bring up the Egyptians were black thing before.

But like, I never seen a "We Wuz Kings" used. Then again I've tried to avoid comment sections and the like for the better part of a year and I try to avoid 4chan like the plague so if it wasn't spammed on CE I wouldn't have seen it.

it's a fairly new meme and considering how slow gamefaqs is compared to reddit and 4chan, it's not a surprise that hardly anyone here knows about it

the meme was gold when assassin's creed origins was revealed:

I'm black and I use it sometimes.

The pro-blacks who constantly preach about how black people were kings and queens is fucking stupid and embarrassing. Yes you're a "queen" collecting child support for your 3 different kids by 5 dudes. You're a "king" with 5 felonies.

Also how could we ALL be kings and queens? Do they not understand that a kingdom can only have 1 king and 1 queen? We weren't ALL kings and queens 99.9% of us were fucking peasants.

Fuck I hate that stupid shit.
