The "Black Guy Stopping" meme, also known as "Disapproving Black Guy," originates from a 2016 Vine video by Arnell Armon. In the original clip, a woman (Arnell Armon) walks past a man who is clearly admiring her. Her male friend then intervenes by subtly grabbing the admiring man's stomach and giving him a stern, disapproving side-eye, effectively stopping his gaze. This meme is used to humorously depict situations where someone is prevented or interrupted from engaging in an inappropriate, awkward, or unwanted action, often related to leering or questionable behavior. The meme highlights the intervention of a third party who uses a subtle physical gesture and a strong facial expression to convey judgment or disapproval, acting as a social correction. It's widely employed to represent stopping someone mid-action or to express a quiet but firm "no" to an unspoken thought or deed.
