The Black Guy Confused meme features professional basketball player Nick Young, also known as Swaggy P. It originated from a 2014 episode of the YouTube documentary series 'Thru The Lens,' which followed Young’s life. During a segment where his mother claims he was a 'clown' as a child, Young makes a hilariously perplexed facial expression. The frame was screenshotted and edited with floating yellow question marks, quickly becoming the internet's go-to reaction for expressing total bewilderment or reacting to something logically flawed.
