“BLM memes” refer to internet content — typically images, captions, or video clips — related to the Black Lives Matter movement, which began in 2013 and gained global attention during major protests in 2020. These memes often respond to political events, police-related incidents, or broader discussions about race and civil rights, using humor, satire, or symbolism to engage with current topics.

The memes vary widely: some aim to highlight perceived injustices, others parody viral moments, and some have sparked controversy for their tone or messaging. Regardless of stance, BLM memes have become a notable part of online culture and are frequently updated alongside real-world events.
