Hoodie

Key & Peele (2013) Episode 1
youtube.com

A wordless sketch featuring a young Black man (Jordan Peele) wearing a hoodie walking through a white suburban neighborhood. As he walks, residents become visibly nervous and suspicious. When a police officer approaches from behind, the teen pulls up his hood to reveal a white teen's face printed on the side, which immediately alleviates the officer's suspicions. This powerful visual commentary addresses racial profiling, the Trayvon Martin case, and systemic prejudice without using any dialogue, relying entirely on visual storytelling to explore themes of race and law enforcement bias.
