This is a meme we need!
My response to a racist and ignorant post (top picture) that I saw on Facebook.

IN YOUR FACE! ~ Looks like the Sistas kicked butt this week making grand slams in various arenas. On Saturday, Serena Williams won her second French Open and then gave her victory speech in French. Earlier in the week, First Lady Michelle Obama had to put a rude heckler in her place, effectively shutting down the ongoing disrespect on both sides of the political isle. On the same night, Kerry Washington set the record straight during an online chat, clarifying a reporter’s question about living in a post racial society. The very next day, former US Ambassador Susan Rice was named as President Obama’s National Security Adviser. This appointment came after a year’s onslaught of unfair criticism by the national news media. Overall, it looks to me like these four graceful, intelligent, and shrewd ladies WON the week.
