Oscars 2019: The Trevor Noah ‘Black Panther’ Joke Everyone Missed

Noah Trevor’s presentation at the 2019 Oscars ceremony featured a Black Panther joke most audiences probably missed.

The Daily Show host Trevor Noah made an appearance at the 2019 Oscars ceremony to introduce the montage for Best Picture nominee Black Panther. During his speech, Trevor Noah joked about growing up in the fictional Wakanda and said the real Xhosa phrase, “Abelungu abazi ubu ndiyaxoka.” However, when Noah Trevor translated the phrase for the audience, he explained that it means “In times like these, we are stronger when we fight together than when we try to fight apart.” Those who understood the language, on the other hand, realized that the phrase actually translates to “White people don’t know I’m lying.”

Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
