Intervention: Black Friend Who ‘Talks White’ at Work (Deon Cole Comedy Skit)

Many African-Americans are familiar with the social stress of having to develop at least two identities to navigate the American socioeconomic terrain.

This is often displayed when some Black people change their behavior in the company of white folks from how they would normally behave with someone from their own ethnic background. A good example of this is “talking white.”

Deon Cole pokes fun at this phenomenon in his comedy skit “Intervention: Black Friend Who Speaks White At Work!”

Check out the hilarity in the video below.
