    This is like when you go to grandma’s house and she has one of those ceramic figures of a black person with large red lips holding a watermelon.

      I sense that most people don’t realize this is a old meme joke and this format is similar to the Successful Black Man or Dating Site Murderer memes, where there is an intended re-direct punchline in them. At first, people most likely think this is going to be some bigotry meme at the expense of Arab people, but it’s not. It’s a re-direct and reference to an old meme called Boom Goes the Dynamite. If you found this to be in bad taste or the like, I can understand. And that is your prerogative. I know my intent, morals and values, and gave this meme a shot.
