Sometime ago the “white people walk funny” joke was presented to white people by a less white person — probably in the mid to late 60s because doing it any earlier would have had the Negro chap saying it segregated to the dead area of life.
Sometime ago the “white people walk funny” joke was presented to white people by a less white person — probably in the mid to late 60s because doing it any earlier would have had the Negro chap saying it segregated to the dead area of life. Somehow, a once cheeky quasi-truism that was funny for a glistening moment became the staple of lazy humor. Before we knew it every white person walked funny in every Black dude’s comedy act. Then the joke soon became a regular star on Sanford and Son, the Jeffersons, UPN, and in the acts of comedians on B.E.T.
So for all of you funny walking white people out there, this is YOUR B.H.M.™ moment. You deserve “white people walk funny” joke reparations.
P.S. Asians, Eastern Indian types, and the Inuits, who also all walk funny, were somehow not included in this joke. As unfair as it is, you are lucky, guys.

What is the name of this movie? I’ve been searching for it ever since I watched it when I was 9 years old – even then realizing it was a glorious piece of shit.
yea it’d be nice if you named the movies that you got this stuff from. and what happened to “owwww my following!”?
what the fuck is this movieeee?? title pleaszz
I really miss “Ohh, my following!”
TRUE IDENTITY!!!!
Ever notice how they gave black people the shittiest, foulest, most hateful month of the year? It’s like white people got together and said, “All right, February already sucks anyways, let’s just get all the bad shit out of the way; slush, snow, black history month…”
Ever notice that when you put a black person in “white-face”, they end up looking like a Jewish person? Like that guy’s white name should be Morty.
whats the name?
good point vane$$a! we should have given them july to remind them of the hot summer days bailing cotton
(feel free to add that to your routine)
p.s. read wikipedia harriet tugjob
white people walk like they have a yardstick shoved up their butt and are afraid of breaking it.
ha i remember this movie. isnt this the one where he takes his socks off and he has black feet or some shit n the girl is like…wtf?
its like a reverse “Soul Man”, which is also the name of a pretty great fuck posish…
The film’s called True Identity, the guy who plays the ‘white guy’ is a famous English comedian called Lenny Henry, he’s absolutely fucking terrible. The last thing he did in England was a program for the BBC where he would show an audience clips from YouTube, like the dog on a skateboard vid with canned laughter played over the top while explaining what’s going on.
The brother got bleached out and now he looks like Bill Maher.
I would like to know from any black comedians or (black people that share this sentiment) out there, what is the appropriate amount of looseness that my ass should be having? Where did this come from? Granted our asses are naturally smaller and tighter than yours, but that doesn’t mean we have them all clenched up. And why do you always use this 50′s white business dude stereotype? That’s totally unfair because they tend to have excellent posture. And when you walk straight as an arrow while wearing a suit, something about that screams clenched up ass. But those few do not represent white asses as a whole.
