I think the only thing better than getting a OKAYYY from a black person is having a older black lady call you baby and tells you to have a bless day. 🥰
Aww, u so precious baby, have a blessed day!😂
Yesss
I flew through Atlanta and stopped for a cup of coffee on my way to my next gate. The older black lady barista called me baby and I wanted to hug her and have her adopt me. It genuinely made my day.
You saying what u just did made my day Lil Sis.💞 Thank you and your parents for the young lady you've become.
So true 😆
She's that aunty who takes you to poetry slams and has good ass book recommendations.
She is single.
You know her.
Oh yeah. The one that has lived with her "best friend" for over 12 years, and buys you art supply kits for Christmas every. single. year.
🤔 ...but how many CATS does she have?
Maybe single, or maybe just not one to put all her business out there.
i am she
I know. She’s amazing🙂
True story: this very attractive white guy walked by... He looked good, he smells good, he made eye contact!!! I looked at my sister and said: "okaaaaaaay". He literally blushed. So yeah, we do that when impressed.
Yesssssssss. Sometimes I just give them the look and they know
@Lydia W. M. " WE SOOOE KOOL"!!!👊🏾 🤜🏾🤛🏾. JUST REMINDED OF A POEM FROM " BACK IN THE DAY"-ONE OF OUR EXPRESSIONS! ONE OF ZILLIONS' , LOL, ........" WHO ELSE COULD BE A BLACK A WOM- AN"? AUTHOR / POET MAY BE TONI CADE, SONIA SANCHEZ, NIKKI GIOVANNI...........ONE OF THE THOSE " BAAAD" ONES!!!👊🏿🙂
If I'm very impressed, I might even add a "okaaaaaaaay, white boy, I see you."
Indeed.
@lydia waweru-morgan Habari yako
I'm not white or black, but in '09, I was picking up supplies at my corporate lab for my draw site..I walked by some black dude working in the warehouse, he then said "Dang bro look at your Chucks..That's wassup"..it was that day I realized, maybe I do have style after all
😂👌🏾
JT Rebel JT REBEL, that is sorta close to , well a lil pitiful...cause it's 2020 and u still recount that...???!! Lmbo😳
@@bonitahobbs2097 Forget about recounting a seemingly meaningless moment 11 years ago...It's 1 of only 3 highlights of my life...If not for a family friend of my cousins' in Alaska I drove crazy because she shot her shot at me but I ghosted her the last 3 days of my visit in '14, Liverpool winning the Champions League in '19, and the black dude from '09, I have little else to hold onto...no, my life is VERY pitiful no cap 😔
Lol
@@JT-Rebel hey i feel you. Things will get better and you'll have better highlights. Don't let ppl knock you down . You're worth more than thayn you are nice and it shows
I've seen a lot of laid-back or formal comedians described as professorial, but this is the first one who genuinely reminds me of, like, an English professor. The attire, the steady pace, the dry humor despite the controversial subject, the subtle sarcasm. Is that you, Dr. Lee?
Okay🤗😊😅
Was she joking about the reparations check?
I’m White but most of my family was not in America yet when slavery happened so I don’t know how that is handled
@@joylynch5204 It's all BS. She is intentionally being shrewd with her racism. Don't buy into it.
"I'm twerking jazz. It's kind of blue." Now that's clever!
I was hoping to see ppl catch the reference
@@gabrieltoledano5560 🙃
I don't think a lot of the audience got that one 😜
Twerking is one of my favorite things.
@@gabrieltoledano5560 What was the reference?
Best compliment I've ever gotten was from an older black man telling me, "I didn't know white people could dance like that."
Im still riding that high😂
Certified!😅😆
Same here!
@D F lol peanut butter and jealous much?
💯🤣🤣🤣❤
@Love let them enjoy themselves! It's cute and funny.
Her hair is just gorgeous and fits her perfectly
Will def go with her old lady outfit. Lol!!
I get the cloud nine feeling when an older black woman calls me baby
“I can’t do my young girl uniform anymore, which was just body glitter and prayer.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this killed me
Glad she was so well received by the audience. And she was authentically herself
Yes, a shrewd semi-racist.
Status: "Currently dropping it low for a gentleman caller" 😂🤣
My knee said, No Ma'am. 😂🤣😂
Literally laughed out loud at "I've got a hedgehog with me for no reason"
The whole thing was great but that image with the rest of the description... Perfect.
The hedgehog killed me too...
it was the perfect cherry on top of the layers of absurdity.
...like there could be a reason to have a hedgehog with you. If there ever is, I want to hear that story...
"well you see officer, what happened was ... "
This is reality!! NO JOKE, When I get that “OK” from a black person for my singing, I KNOW I’m doing it right 🤣🤣🤣 I was afraid to say it out loud.
Awww, that's a nice thing to say out loud 🙂
Sing on and be good!
lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah , cause Its kinda racist imo
I knew the "... Okayyyy!" was coming because I'm one of the lucky ones
Did you get the "I see you?"
I as a black woman got the Okayyyy at a job interview for my dream job from the two black women conducting the interview. I called my mom and sis after, feeling myself after a great interview and my mom asked me
“Did they say okay and nod their heads in approval at any point?”
I was like YESSSSS!
Long story short, I got the job. This lovely woman tells no lies 😂
Dulcelina Cabral thank you so much!!! I’m so excited 😆
Also if you get "alright now" that's good too lol
@@LaFlor718 How's the job going sis? What's the position? Are there any cute guys there? 😂
Adidas with the black dress seems like a good uniform to me! Rumspringa goals
Still watching. Damn, my perfect shade is blue-based red. Am I supposed to have some kind of fire engine-colored areolas?!
I didn't know what to expect but she's very funny. I'm impressed.
I cant LOL. When she mentioned needing more than 3 bra stripes to make a hoodie..." and talked about how we saying "okayyy, yaasss", I died of laughter
This woman needs a #netflix special or a few.
We need Blackflix now. Whose ready?!
This woman is fantastic, I can't believe I've never heard her before now. Her delivery is so smooth
@@mdeborah827 yes more Segregation
@@mdeborah827 It's basically already a racist pro-black bs stream video channel. They could just change the name. They are not getting my money, that's for sure.
Am I the only one who noticed the bars in this lady's material? she's a funny poet hahaha
Alright I’m gonna have to go back and listen
“A bottle of water that I think has been blessed that I think I’m supposed to drink every morning and every night.. I haven’t even open that bitch yet”. It took me a minute to realize she was talking about holy water lmaooo
Sindhi Mazibuko - Thank you for this comment✨it opened my ears! Shalewa Sharpe is lovely 💕 she has no fear
It’s true! I was thinking that but I wasn’t sure I was right...!!
...like..."I'm twerkin jazz...its kinda blue" hehe... or wearing the same silhouette haha...her metaphors
She seems like that type of woman who would make a fun Aunt. 😂😂 And I love the enunciation of her words.❤
Yuuup
She is a true comic. ... "holding a hedgehound for no reason"... brillant...
"All my twerking is interpretive, now." Dying from a laugh cramp.
💯💯💯💯
Delightfully witty and sharp, good stuff, served dry.
Great comment. I think I need a martini
Lmaoooo I have had the honor of getting an "okay, okay, alright!"
Oh dang. What did you do?
Lmfaooooo
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤓👍🏾
@@grlegrl 😆😆😆
The best thing about the pandemic?? I found Shalewa Sharpe! What a hilarious comedian!
Okurrrrrr 👏🏽🤣
Glad I clicked. She's sharp, funny, has great delivery, great jokes. Would be awesome to see her live! Wishing good things for her.
i am in my 20s and MY KNEES BE MAKING NOISES
nah I'm 15 💀
@@alyssaforsty1069 lmaoooo girllll if you don't drink ya damn milk😭😂😂😂
Drink some milk and walk it off
@@hannyl28 Better yet,,,calcium/ magnesium/zinc...all one supplement. Also, start a collagen supplement...never too young to make sure it doesn't start to fall apart.
Do quad stretches! Super important for reducing wear and tear on your knees. Balance on one leg and pull your opposite heel to your butt.
I get the cloud nine feeling when an older black woman calls me baby
Kevin Goldfish truth. Gets me all up in my feels 🥰
Lmao too true. I feel wildly warm inside. 🤣
I've seen these same words a few times in these comments, where are all of you nice ppl at🤔 Cuz the media only show yall evil cousins. Lbvs
I always walk away feeling so loved!!!
As a 911 dispatcher I don't call people "honey", "dear", "baby" or anything like that because it is "safer" not to do that, and to be somewhat cool and professional. Some callers call me "honey" or they say "oh thank you dear" and I think its sweet but other dispatchers don't like being called "honey". When I listen to 911 recordings and the dispatcher is black and calls the caller "baby" I think it sounds so comforting! It's not my style but I just love hearing it.
Happy Shalewa is getting a bigger audience. She always crushes.
Horatio Stepanaur fax she funnnny
Me too idk how I found out about her but it's been a while.
She is a comedian's comedian with true writing chops, great timing, a really clean technical delivery
After I paused the video, looked up Yebba and came back, I was near tears laughing.
I can see why! This broad is hilariousl!
I'm in tears ... she halted my whole multitasking when she said "perfect match for lipstick is the color of your areolas... I was having a eureka in the midst of checking and when she said "I dunno about you translucent nipple chicks" I died because..................... ...... ......... ...... .. 😶🤣🤣🤣🤣
😮😁😆😂😂
There were people in the audience having eureka moments too. I'm sure people checked after the show.
That really is a life hack lol
@@edie6949 I know it seems strange and out of fashion but black women in the 70s wore dark lipstick with their natural hair and they were so gorgeous. It really does compliment our skin.
@@ShelbySteele23 - Yes! I'm a Black woman in my 40s, so I was just a little girl in the 70s. For years now I've been on a search for this beautiful brown lip color that I saw many Black women wear back then. I've yet to come across any nude color that matches it. Also, I can't tell if it was a lip gloss or a lipstick. I just know that it had a lovely sheen to it, yet it wasn't as translucent and shiny as most glosses are today. I'm probably just out of luck, as I'm sure they don't make it anymore, but I'd love to find something close to it. That beautiful nude/brown lip color with natural hair (I've been natural for over 20 years) and very minimal make up (or none at all). Absolutely stunning!
I'm twerking Jazz, It's Kinda Blue!!! YASSS LMFAO
“We do tend the react the same way when we see a white person do something well.” ☠️
Why did I pick up the phone to read the comments as she was saying this?! 😂😭😂😂
@@mylilpc 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Dead!!
I bet a part of it was to see if -edit- how many of us wrote about that one glorious time where we earned it and holy f*** it really was kinda glorious . 😀😀😀😀
It's so real though. My whiteness is urging me to "fake the funk" every now and then, but I'm white from The Balkans so in Europe I definitely don't qualify to join the white supremacists, they'd call me a gypsie in the west, and they have, numerous times. So yea, black people normally like me.
I have a lot of black friends........ Forreal tho 😅😅😅
@Dulcelina Cabral I just did the "forreal tho" cause it's a thing all racists say. But for me it's actually valid. Glad to know you like my less cool, nerdier breed of people :D
A black guy did the "okaaay" to me surprised that I'm a good dancer. He was also my boss. It was a compliment that I still remember, 5yrs later.
“Have a seat dirty John, we’ll just wait here together” 😂😂😂
*sees a white person doing something great*
👀🤔😯😯....OOOKKAAAAY! 😂
😹😹😹😹😹
😄 I said it before she did. Spot on
Then you have to follow up with I see you
@@kimberleywilliams7802 hahhahahah l literally typed that in one of my old home decorating groups the other day. Hahhahahhahahha. I was very impressed.
Guilty as charged! 🤣🤣
It’s 👏🏽 so 👏🏽 true 👏🏽! We DO all react the same way. Back in college we called it the “stank face”. Lol
I always got offended by the "stank face". Wish someone had told me this when I was young. Time to rethink my knee-jerk reactions to other people.
@@gritsonamission if u would hve hung around more black people, u would have known
Nobody got the Miles Davis reference smh but kudos for that joke 😂😂
Oh, I got it & loved it :-)
I think we got it, thanks
It was very clever
Jasmine Houston-Burns Ye, but the audience in the vid didn’t seem to 😛
We got it!! 😂
"I'm giving you rumspringa realness...I'm giving you nun out on the town." I was crying!
At 2:34 the way she delivers: "When a black person sees a white person doing something well, first of all, were caught off guard" DED🤣 had to rewind and die again🤣
That's still gets me after the umpteenth time watching this!
Gotta say, I never expected to hear the term Rumspringa realness.
Brilliant
Living for Rumspringa Realness!!!
She needs to do voice overs for adult comedy animation movies, shows, anything! She's hilarious! 😂
I absolutely walk 10 feet tall when I get a black woman’s “Okay, alright.” Ultimate approval affirmation. I want to be an ally, regardless, but I will cherish any scrunchy-face, “Okay” I get. I love this comic holding this out as something to work for. Yess! Amen to that!
It's the little things
You have become insane to say those things. Maybe don't live for acknowledgement from others. You are getting exploited.
Her comedy style is brilliant and subtle...🖤✨
My black gym teacher once told me, "You run fast for a little white boy," and it's kept me going for 16 years
I love her vibe👍🏾
Its like a funny cool conversation lol
Notice they quiet when she mentioned reparations.
yeah i noticed that
@Mr. Efyou Man No. You're silly. If other groups of people received monetary reconciliations BLACK people damn sure deserve theirs!
Yep. I said 'Oh they Straight quiet on that part.'
The cadence in addition to her outstanding comedy is FLAWLESSLY HILARIOUS! DED🤣
...and now I'm addicted to Yebba ❤
Had a 25 year old black woman come up to me in the store and say, "Girl, I love your style". I'm a 49 year old white woman. You better fucking believe I felt good about that.❤🤣
😆😆😆
She's smart, she's physical, she's funny. I like her. I like her a lot.
Their phones WILL have bra ads tomorrow😂😂
One of the best sets I've seen in a while
I'm not even finished with the video yet and I need to comment this,😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣SHE IS BEYOND HILARIOUS!!!!! I am so glad I clicked on this! As a black woman I agree that is one of our universal approval signs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️dying laughing
I was at a drag show/party and this black drag woman came up to me and was like "ok girl work it" and that fueled my confidence for the next week
This woman is 11/10 clever
I love this take on reaction videos. A lot of them seem aimed at white audiences who watch to see if the Black reactors are “sophisticated enough” to appreciate what white artists of the past have done, and it seems like at least some of the reactors know this and play to it. Assuming it’s sincere, that first look of approval of a recording, though, isn’t the Black reactor “getting” the recording. Like you say, it’s amazement at a white person doing exceptionally well, since so many white people can fail upward and get away with a level of mediocrity that Black people can seldom attempt to get by with. So much of the world is a giant non-competitive employment and benefits program for undeserving whites, leaning on connections and lots of benefit of lots of doubt.
@JagBrit Good point. The amount of white effort that goes into erasing and downgrading the sophistication of others would seem to indicate that there is quite a lot of sophistication to hide. Those who are actually confident that they’re tops in all ways, or even adequate, don’t devote huge amounts of energy to declaring their “supremacy”.
…though I don’t see how I failed to make it clear that I’m aware that there’s as much, if not more, sophistication among Black people as among whites. So your condescension is particularly uncalled for.
@@vincegay986 yesss!!! I say this all the time!! NO ONE whos “naturally superior” does all the nonsense white folks have done for literally CENTURIES to black people if they actually thought they were “naturally inferior” people! All racism towards black people is 1000% jealousy! The racist white folks SAY they are superior but their actions say they actually think black folks are the superior ones!
"I know right now I'm serving rumspringa realness" I SCREAMED
We still going to need that reparations check! 🤣
.... but you notice how quiet it got in the crowd when she said that part? Lol smh lol
@@taurusDIVA1979 right
Yes we are...and soon
As a white person : I feel that
@@elisepentz1063 cool.
Reach for it girl , when older black women call me “ pound cake” or “ sugar” , I smile so big ! I still keep it my special place of joy .
I call this organic comedy! LOVE IT! THANKS!
I can't with her terminology:
Interpretive twerking
Rumspringa realness
Body glitter and prayer
I love that the silence in her set is not at all awkward 👏🏾❤️
Being a middle-aged woman, I was laughing harder than the people in her audience. I GET IT!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Soooooo friggin goooooood. So glad to be introduced to this comic
I'm 35, and I've been wearing the same uniform my entire life: blue/black jeans with a T-shirt that has a cartoon or video-game design on it. Morning, noon, or night, it's what I'm wearing. If I'm not in the shower, then that's how I'm dressed.
I hear that. 34 here and I’m just wearing playstation shirts and distressed jeans. Idk why I pay lots of cash for ripped up clothing but, that’s my uniform
I'm 31 and i rock jeans, cartoon tshirt and sneakers. Hoodie when it gets cold. That's my uniform 😊
@@diedriegibbs6938 @Tracy_Ndlovu
Haha, we should form a gang. A jean-loving, casual-wear gang. :p
As a kid I dreaded Sunday mornings because my parents made me dress up in a collared shirt and wear khakis to church. 25 now and blue jeans T-shirt combo most days. My main beef with khakis is the way the opening of the pockets are. It goes down the pant leg instead of across the waist like blue jean pockets, so when you sit down in khakis (or any dress pants I've seen, they all have the same terrible pockets) everything in your pockets goes sliding right out. I don't understand why no one else acknowledges this problem or why no clothing company has decided to make any pants other than jeans that have pockets oriented that way. Even cargo pants / shorts have the same shitty down the leg slit pockets. Am I the only person this bothers? It's honestly the main reason why I wear blue jeans every day.
She's AMAZING. Jokes, delivery, rythm - everything was on point! Such a pro.
A month ago I was listening to music in my car and was stopped by another car wanting to know what I was listening to. When I told them it was LA trap I heard "let me find out you like trap too". As a middle aged white man I was walking on air for a week.
😆😆😆😆😆
I was literally thinking “I dream of getting an ‘okay’ “ right before she said that lol I would be so proud of myself
She's hilarious never seen her before. How? I really enjoyed this
I heard the "OKay" and I lost it lmaooo
GORGEOUS hair!
I hot a fist bump at work the other day with a “respect”... my nails were cool and matched my outfit. Going to admit, I felt cool. 😂
She needs a Netflix special... for beginning to end, her timing was impeccable and the jokes were relatable! Thank you for starting my morning out in laughter!
When a Black person has done this look to me with the ending oookay and a nod, I didn't understand it, but the rest of my day, I was walking on sunshine. XD
The only time I've gotten an "ok/alright" from a black woman was from one of friends (she was probably not that impressed actually) but I did get an "ay, que hombre" from two latinas back in college, it was a rainy day and stepped off onto the grass to let them walk on the paved walkway cuz they were wearing heels and I didn't want them to get their shoe stuck in the ground, felt pretty good
Lmfaoo just before she said it I said to myself “okayyy” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. This is hilarious
I've seen this reaction over & over!! She nailed it!! 😅🤣😂
😭😂 there were too many gems to even comment my favorite.
Ok, I'm going to need to see more of her standup. But also slowly because I still hurt from laughing at this clip. She's amazing.
Best set I've seen in quite a while, & I've been stand-up binging. Netflix, are you listening?
Hilarious. That entire set was perfect.
Wow she's so awesome, definetly watching more of her stuff
This sketch made me seek out Yebba and I can't thank you enough for bringing such a beautiful, talented soul into my life! I cannot stop listening to all of her music!
🎵♥️
She hit every joke , so funny 🎉
"it's kinda blue" is one of the most underrated jokes in comedy. subtle. loud. same time.
She's been doing this since she was 10 and at some point realized she's a comedian.
Yep, she’s hilarious....can’t help but crack up!!🤣🤣🤣
Wow. LOVE her. Confident, original, intelligent, hilarious.
She's very unique I enjoy her confidence and her misdirection. You can tell she works on her jokes and curates them well. Awesome Job Shalewa!!
“I’ve got a hedgehog with me for no reason” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 great set
i've had two instances of that: one, where i was on cloud nine. the other where i was like, " ok, you're just butterin' me up." but i don't mind butter either.
I had to check my areolas after watching this.....lol I need this goddess in my life
Yeah...I am definitely doing that. I have a plan. I'm going to test all my lipsticks on ONE areola, then compare it to the other areola, and ask, "Do my nipples clash?"
Me too!
This set is amazing!
Lol she is great .. I'm a white basketball player and getting those "okay"s were everything 😂
She is giving me LIFE!!! So spot on - I LOVE her!
she's just delightful
The lady has the goods
Really funny stuff. Great for stress relief during quarantine.
I shed tears at the interpretive twerking “it’s about the ass cheeks you don’t see”
She's so funny! 😂🤣😂🤣
The thought of someone dropping it low and having their knee pop is SENDING me. This lady is so freaking funny, I can’t deal.
Also, self care is absolutely a matter of dampness. Drinking water and taking baths, spraying perfume, doing mud masks, putting on lotion, and putting on an oil diffuser. KILLING ME.
