Harambe Response

Hello friends,

In addition to my last post, I am going hit you with another response to another friend's blog.
This blog in particular deals with the oh so controversial topic of the late gorilla Harambe. Society has been up in arms over the death or supposed killing Harambe the gorilla. But since the devastating loss there has been a mass outpouring of memes related to the incident. The big question that my fellow blogger poses is " How can we laugh at the death of an innocent animal?" Then she goes into the relief theory, explaining how we are allowed to laugh because our walls are let down. However, what if we aren't laughing at the incident its self but actually laughing at the serious reactions of Harambe lovers? The matter its self is a serious one and there are people who are using the death as a catalyst for political reform. The reason these memes are so popular in my opinion simply because of the fact they are so versatile. They cover topics such as race, parenting, gun laws and even movie quotes. Thus making the meme not only relatable but powerful.
