Pedestrian Question - Do You Have a Black Friend?

February is Black History Month. President Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976. Since then a lot has changed when it comes to race relations. Jimmy thought that might be a good area for tonight’s Pedestrian Question. So we went out onto Hollywood Boulevard and asked people “Do You Have a Black Friend?” #PedestrianQuestion

Pedestrian Question - Do You Have a Black Friend?

[JotheGrat]

"Hey Tyrone, what's happenin man, you black?" I died

[mariosdaskalakis]

"Yo Tyron, you black ?" 😂😂😂

[upmpvlu]

Bold of them to assume that everyone has friends

[lawrenceShellawk]

Tyron: *profusely sweating about a call from his crush* It's finally happening... *Click* Hello
Some random dude: You black?
Tyron:*black-zoned* wtf?

[YouForYuh]

Whitest thing you can do is come up with the idea to go around asking people if they have a black friend lmaooo 💀

[jacobdeyette]

“You black?”

“Yeah”

“Aight sweet peace”

[saroushen]

As an outsider looking in, I'm starting to understand why America has these race issues. You have quite literally made a guessing game show that mocks ethnicity. By asking the audience to judge people before they answer is EXACTLY what causes these issues to begin with; the irony of it all!

[preteristlab-endtimes]

Luv this guys telephone etiquette - "YO TYRONE, YOU BLACK??" "YEA." "PEACE." The end.

[cornonthecob]

I didn't see one black person in Jimmy Kimmel's audience . I want to know if Jimmy Kimmel has any black friends?

[demeko]

"hey tyrone? tyrone? hey what's up man you black??" LMAO

[man-observing-world]

When she said “Tyrone” I died, but I nearly passed out when he answered!

[TruthbBeTold]

Friendship is not about race .. it's about connection. If you don't connect then race, age, wealth doesn't matter

[mohamedelhoussein]

weirdest call Tyrone ever had ;
hey man u black ?
yeah
Allright cool peace 😂

[BrandonSchleifer]

I wish one person had said: "no, I don't have any friends."

[elizabethnoyb]

My response would be, “no…. I don’t have any friends.” And then I’d walk away with my head down.

[osango]

Did not expect to laugh so hard at the end.

[yuriridley]

- Are you black?
- Yes.
- Ah, cool! Sweet! Peace!

[gracie]

"Tyrone? hey wassup man, you black?" 😂😂

[megawill]

If someone ever asks what CRINGE means, just show them this video. Damn!
