Maybe a repost maybe not but my question is. Have you ever heard of this meme or are they just making this up?

The lemming principle might be more apt.

I'm guessing you are referring just to it as a metaphor, as the actual act is an urban legend.

I've never heard of the lemming principle referred to as an urban legend. I have observed many times people following the actions of one or a few in regards to following the originators actions. There may be any number of rationalizations for this behavior but it most definitely exists and I choose to call it the lemming principle. As far as lemmings themselves, I've never seen lemmings follow each other off a cliff but, I've seen sheep do that. Lemming principle just sounds niftier than sheep psychosis.

About halfway down the page, there's a pic of a (white) girl lying down next to a kid in some African village.

She has some pretty big tits. Damn. Doesn't seem like her face even really hits the dirt.

Lemmings generally don't thrown themselves off cliffs... unless of course they're being herded off the cliff by Disney filmmakers who for whatever sick reason want to convince us that lemmings voluntarily do so. I don't know wtf Disney was thinking back in the (60s?), but apparently it accomplished its goal of making us all think of blindly following as lemming-like behavior.
