“...well...I know he’s black.” the way she delivered that line was so perfectly infused with the casual racism. 🤣 A+ delivery

[woodywyatt]

“What about the pink panther movie”
“Ok she was white in that”

[Teeveepicksures]

"She's on ABC" is the best line from this entire sketch.

Who's here on 8/1/24 because they found out last night that VP Kamal Harris, too, turned Black?😂

[love]

Everyone is sleeping on the “How can they be black? They’re women!” part because that’s literally how it is for us black girls lmao, we’re either one or the other.

[keediilovee]

When she thought her daughter was black 💀😂😂

[BuffyCee]

Who else is here in 2024 after Trump said Kamala "turned" black?

"Maybe this song is not about us, but usually everything is"

This aged so well. This is basically everyone freaking out over the new little mermaid 😂😂😂✌🏾

9 months later: ooo ya’ll got mad over this. Again, this aged so well. 😂💀

[j.d.t.]

The fact that her name is "Karen" makes this more hilarious.

[mariaclaraantunesalves]

Beyonce just released “Black Parade” and the response was the same as the day she released “Formation” so I just had to get back to this and watch it again LOL

[lacountess]

“That is my daughter.” I lost it right there. 😂
