34 Memes That Are Black and White and Read All Over

A lot of people are prejudiced towards black and white movies and photographs. They think that a movie being black and white means it's boring and too old for them to watch, which is just ludicrous. I low-key wish we could go back to the 1950s and 1960s era, where about half of the movies were black and white and half were in color. Sometimes, directors didn't have a choice about whether to use black and white or color (some actors required that they be shot in color, while sometimes budgets necessitated the use of a black and white camera). Nevertheless, there's something so sleek and unifying about black and white images. If it weren't for the association with black and white being perceived as "old" and "outdated," more filmmakers would use it. 

Conspiracies are circulating online about images of more recent historical photos being converted to black and white, allegedly intended to deceive us into thinking the Civil Rights Movement occurred longer ago than it actually did. In reality, those pictures, along with many historical photos from the latter part of the 20th century, were taken in black and white even though color photography existed at that point because they were intended for printing in newspapers. If you want to look at some memes that are perfect for the printing presses, these memes are sure to be black and white and read all over.
