"Republican Black Caucus" table at a public venue of some sort, and only white people are standing behind the table talking to each other.
The caption read:

"Did you bring the black guy?"
"No... did you?"

It is an all-time classic! It was a tweet photo that was going around about a month ago.

Does anyone have it?
