He finally goes out into the world as Mr. White and experiences all sorts of surprises....white people dont charge each other anything at retail locations, white people can get huge loans from banks with little or no credit or income, and, in perhaps the funniest stint, when there are no black people on public transportation, the bus becomes a party atmosphere with cocktails, music, and comfort women.
I am laughing just thinking about this skit. Has anyone else seen it? You usually see it every now and then on the "Best of SNL" specials.

I saw that when it first aired. Very, very funny,
BTW, Eddie Murphy is not old school SNL - that would be:
Dan Akroyd
John Belushi
Chevy Chase
Jane Curtain
Garret Morris
Bill Murray
Lorraine Newman
Gilda Radner
