[Darnell makes funny face]
Darnell: I mean, it should be. But I’m thinking you haven’t spent much time in America. Let’s just hear about today’s prizes. Johnny!
[Cut to Black Jeopardy prize listing]
Male voice: Thanks, Darnell. Today’s Black Jeopardy winner will receive Uesta Hold Margarine, personal plastic containers that used to hold margarine. “Put whatever you want in there.” And well done steaks. “If I see a speck of red, it’s going back. You better cook my food with well done steaks.” And by Sprite. “How did we become the black soda? We don’t know.” Back to you, Darnell.
[Cut to the game stage]
Darnell: Ooh! I do love Sprite. Alright, T’Challa, the board is your’s.
T’Challa: I am ready. Let’s go to “White people” for $400.
[Darnell is making shocked faces.]
Darnell: Okay, let’s try it. Your friend Karen brings her potato salad to your cookout.
[buzzer]
Oh-oh. T’Challa.
T’Challa: I think I’m getting the hang of this. Before I answer, a few questions. This woman Karen, she’s caucasian, right?
Darnell: Yes.
T’Challa: And she has her own recipe for potato salad, right?
Darnell: Yeah.
T’Challa: Ah! I understand. It is noble that she would volunteer to cook for everyone. And although I have never had potato salad…
Darnell: Of course.
T’Challa: … I sense that this white woman does not season her food.
Darnell: That’s right.
T’Challa: And if she does, it is only with a tiny bit of salt and no paprika.
Darnell: No paprika. No.
T’Challa: And she will probably add something unnecessary like resins.
Darnell: I know, right?
T’Challa: So, something tells me that I should say–
Darnell: Say it.
T’Challa: “Aw hell naw Karen. Keep your bland ass potato to yourself.”
Darnell: [celebrating] Yes! Yes! Whoo! Oh, man! You got it, T’Challa.
T’Challa: In the face.
Darnell: Yeah. Black Panther, welcome to Black Jeopardy.
Female voice: How many square feet is that?
Male voice: For three bedrooms?
Female voice: What a deal.
Darnell: Oh, well. The sound of white people shopping nearby for real estate means that the fun is over. So, let’s take a break. We’ll be right back with more Black Jeopardy.
