The intended use of the Ugandan Knuckles meme was to be funny but never to be racist at all. When the meme was widely known to have a racist meaning, various entities advised to stay civil and respect others. Roblox ended up prohibiting the meme because of these concerns. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/02/09/ugandan-knuckles-do-you-know-de-wey-meme-explained/307575002/ https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ugandan-knuckles

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1729985820722172100
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
