The premise

Here’s the bit.

A young Black man walks through a suburban neighborhood with a backpack. Children stare, their mother hurries them indoors, and a man tending his lawn watches him warily. When a cop slows beside him, he pulls up his hood. A blond white face printed on its side transforms the officer’s reaction, and the walk continues.

Notes from the archive.

Keegan-Michael Key recalled that Jordan Peele developed the sketch in response to Trayvon Martin’s death and brought it to a table read. Key described the audience’s reaction at the live taping as shock followed by laughter and relief.
