The post in question featured a photo of Khloé and two of her sisters, Kim and Kourtney, alongside the text, “The only KKK to ever let Black men in” — a reference to the Kardashian/Jenners’ history of dating Black men.
Michael BucknerMany were outraged by the meme not just because of how it makes light of the KKK — a group who have murdered, terrorized, and opposed the civil rights of Black people since the 1800s — but also because of how it taps into controversial discourse around the Kardashians’ ties with Black men and Black culture.

Hashtag I only like black cock. That’s what I would say.”
John Shearer / WireImageAs you probably know, Kim and Ray J’s sex tape was leaked in 2007. Ray J has claimed that Kim and her mom, Kris Jenner, were behind the whole thing — something that the Kardashians have long denied.

Kevin Winter / Getty ImagesSharing a series of videos to Instagram, Ray J called Kris’s appearance “foul at the highest level” and said it was her “just being racist.”

Stefanie Keenan / Getty Images for UCLAOver the weekend, Ray J shared a clip of the joke being discussed on The Wendy Williams Show, writing: “That time when Wendy Williams had to check Khloé #facts #itsNotOK.”
InstagramIn the clip, Wendy says, “What part of the game does Khloé possibly think that this is OK?” before reciting the joke aloud to the audience, most of whom boo in response.
Jerritt Clark / Getty Images for Remy MartinPerhaps unsurprisingly, several Instagram users have since voiced their opinions over the old meme, labeling it a “heinous joke.”
Jason Merritt / Getty Images“This is where someone like Khloe Kardashian gets too familiar and too comfortable, she has a black baby daddy and 2 black best friends @malika @foreverkhadijah and she thinks it’s OK to make a heinous joke about a race matter she has now idea how deep it runs for our people,” one person commented.
Instagram“This is disgusting. This is also proof that the some of the black community let them get away with way too much. What’s wrong with y’all!!!!” read one comment.
Frazer Harrison / Getty Images“Yea that was hella racially insensitive,” another person said.
