True, something lost on most Americans that have the privilege not to have to deal with it. Most of the rest of the World doesnt have that privilege. How nice it would be if my race was taken from poverty and pain to another place where a few generations have to deal with hardship for my future siblings and offspring's to have it nice. Sounds like a gift from God to me. African Americans have been given that.
@@Chuckclc yeah, and you're going to ignore the whole "taking" was forcing human beings to be treated like cattle and worked to death in one of the cruelest systems humans have ever created?
@@andrewdeleon559 No, you are right. But "taken" was more like sold by their people, and "cruelest systems ever created"? It wasnt good, but as far as human slavery goes it was one of the plushest systems ever. And I use "plush" pretty lightly. You can read up on African slavery if you want to hear some horror stories. And I dont mean them being enslaved but being the slave owners. Especially Egyptians enslaving the Jews.

Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan, IPA: [ɸɯꜜ(d)ʑisaɴ](listen)), located on the island of Honshū, is the highest mountain in Japan, standing 3,776.24 metres (12,389.2 ft). It is also the second-highest volcanolocated on an island in Asia (after Mount Kerinci on the island of Sumatra), and seventh-highest peak of an island on Earth.[1] Mount Fuji is an activestratovolcano that last erupted from 1707-1708.[4][5]The mountain stands about 100 kilometres (62 mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on clear days. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped for about 5 months a year, is commonly used as a cultural icon of Japan and it is frequently depicted in many arts and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.[6] Mount Fuji Mount Fuji, Japan, seen from Oshino Hakkai Highest pointElevation3,776.23 to 3,776.25 m (12,389.2 to 12,389.3 ft) Prominence3,776 m (12,388 ft) [1] Ranked 35thIsolation2,077 km (1,291 mi) ListingHighest peak in Japan Ultra-prominent peaks List of mountains in Japan 100 Famous Japanese MountainsCoordinates35°21′29″N 138°43′52″E [2]NamingNative name富士山 (Japanese)Pronunciation[ɸɯꜜ(d)ʑisaɴ]Geography   Mount Fuji Location of Mount Fuji in Japan Show map of JapanShow map of AsiaShow all LocationChūbu region, Honshu, JapanTopo mapGeospatial Information Authority 25000:1 富士山[3] 50000:1 富士山GeologyAge of rock100,000 yearsMountain typeStratovolcanoLast eruption1707-08ClimbingFirst ascent663 by En no Odzunu (役行者, En no gyoja, En no Odzuno)Easiest routeHiking UNESCO World Heritage Site Official nameFujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspirationCriteriaCultural: iii, viReference1418Inscription2013 (37th session)Area20,702.1 haBuffer zone49,627.7 haMount Fuji

What I assume is happening in the music video is that America is too focused on entertainment. It's all about the latest trends, celeb gossip etc.. It's like who can get the most attention. They're so distracted by their own self to see what's happening around the nation and the world. There are riots, shootings, hundreds of unnecessary deaths such as by genocide, modern slavery etc. Their death is overshadowed by how many followers someone has, or who broke up with who. We're fighting about guns over human lives. We're fighting about recreational use of marijuana. When he finally broke out of his comfort zone, away from distractions, he's been brought in to the real world and started experiencing the horror around him. Of course, there are details I missed and don't understand so feel free for an input.
LOL You didn't even realize that the music video revolves around America and not another countries. Symbolism 1) Gambino using an atuomatic weapon to kill the church goers (references to the Charleston Church shooting) and mass shootings in general 2) Gambino smooking weed near the end of the video and only for him to start running out of fear for his own life (references to police brutality and how they target non violent drug offenders while targeting black people the most.
Powered Soldier like I said, what I assume. You're correct and thanks for the input. I only added to the fact we ignore other world problems too. The problem doesn't just stay in America, unfortunately.

No that's just human nature. Humans are stupid and they listen to what they want to listen to. TV is entertainment. News papers are entertainment. You get what you pay for. If you want to get the important shit get a library card at a library with a large number of academic database subscriptions and start reading. People hail this song as edgy like his message is something we didn't already know. Artistic representation always blurs the truth with hyperbole and ambiguous messages. People shit on the institutions that they hold responsible for their own ignorance, then continue to use them. The information is out there if you know where to look, and if you spend enough time looking in the right places you'll find it. This guy's music video, while an example of a great artist is not a great source to form or reinforce your opinions.
So at 3:07 he steps onto all the old cars with their alarms on (The headlights flashing is usually for an alarm or hazards) I feel this is to show all the warning signs from the past that people have danced over (The past being shown in the cars, the alarms being the flashing light and him being the people dancing over the situation)
My first thought was it looked like people abandoned their card after something terrible happened and he's just dancing right over it, no concern for it but he's aware of what's happening. Like his persona in this video is trying to get us to think that what we're seeing isn't all that serious
Uchiwasoue Soue That is a good theory, that's why I love this video so much. It makes you think and truly think about the history of gun violence/race issues in America
My thoughts are that it's representing the way we use distractions to attract the publics attention in certain directions and not focused on making progress together.
Itll always be true. Our leaders are too corrupt to change anything and those leaders in local positions have not only abandoned us, but are actively trying to destroy us. Dem, rep, and independents alike are all gonna get crushed by the oligarchs
Funny how when it's in the name of black lives and racial equality, the curfew is enforced early and with military assistance, but when people literally break into government buildings, popping shots(a woman died btw), in the name of overthrowing a democracy, shit is chill...curfew passed, and they're asking people to please disperse. Letting them stay. This country is fucking trash. I gotta watch innocent black men get shot in the back and killed in my city(Columbus, we definitely have a fucking problem, y'all), but this shit just slides.
DuGong exactly, people act like this is the first time and sadly it isn’t the last time and this isn’t even just America, to a lesser extent this shit occurs in countries like the U.K. and other European countries
@FilmThemesAndScenes Nah thats bs lol. The incarceration rates of aboriginals have increased 12 times more than that of non-aborigines since 1989; the gap between aborigines and non-aborigines keeps widening.

An episode called "The comment section", very meta... Allegedly, an artist releases a music video that's criticising the criticism while the alleged critics keep criticising the non-critical artistic criteria, proving the validity of the crisis he's criticising

I just noticed after nearly 3 years, whenever Gambino is with the children, the screaming in the background stops
Nice observation
It's because the viewer stops screaming from the atrocities that are still going on but a fun new dance is distracting them.
There's screaming at 2:39 though

Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan, IPA: [ɸɯꜜ(d)ʑisaɴ](listen)), located on the island of Honshū, is the highest mountain in Japan, standing 3,776.24 metres (12,389.2 ft). It is also the second-highest volcanolocated on an island in Asia (after Mount Kerinci on the island of Sumatra), and seventh-highest peak of an island on Earth.[1] Mount Fuji is an activestratovolcano that last erupted from 1707-1708.[4][5]The mountain stands about 100 kilometres (62 mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on clear days. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped for about 5 months a year, is commonly used as a cultural icon of Japan and it is frequently depicted in many arts and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.[6]

What I assume is happening in the music video is that America is too focused on entertainment. It's all about the latest trends, celeb gossip etc.. It's like who can get the most attention. They're so distracted by their own self to see what's happening around the nation and the world. There are riots, shootings, hundreds of unnecessary deaths such as by genocide, modern slavery etc. Their death is overshadowed by how many followers someone has, or who broke up with who. We're fighting about guns over human lives. We're fighting about recreational use of marijuana. When he finally broke out of his comfort zone, away from distractions, he's been brought in to the real world and started experiencing the horror around him. Of course, there are details I missed and don't understand so feel free for an input.
Thank you for noticing that! It’s the first thing I saw!!! How his dancing was distracting from the background.
LOL You didn't even realize that the music video revolves around America and not another countries. Symbolism 1) Gambino using an atuomatic weapon to kill the church goers (references to the Charleston Church shooting) and mass shootings in general 2) Gambino smooking weed near the end of the video and only for him to start running out of fear for his own life (references to police brutality and how they target non violent drug offenders while targeting black people the most.
DyingOfBoredom well spoken
Powered Soldier like I said, what I assume. You're correct and thanks for the input. I only added to the fact we ignore other world problems too. The problem doesn't just stay in America, unfortunately.

The blurry background blurs out the important things that you overlook.
Pretty much the media in a nutshell.
No that's just human nature. Humans are stupid and they listen to what they want to listen to. TV is entertainment. News papers are entertainment. You get what you pay for.
If you want to get the important shit get a library card at a library with a large number of academic database subscriptions and start reading.
People hail this song as edgy like his message is something we didn't already know. Artistic representation always blurs the truth with hyperbole and ambiguous messages. People shit on the institutions that they hold responsible for their own ignorance, then continue to use them. The information is out there if you know where to look, and if you spend enough time looking in the right places you'll find it. This guy's music video, while an example of a great artist is not a great source to form or reinforce your opinions.

So at 3:07 he steps onto all the old cars with their alarms on (The headlights flashing is usually for an alarm or hazards) I feel this is to show all the warning signs from the past that people have danced over (The past being shown in the cars, the alarms being the flashing light and him being the people dancing over the situation)
Grey Bitches deep as hell
My first thought was it looked like people abandoned their card after something terrible happened and he's just dancing right over it, no concern for it but he's aware of what's happening. Like his persona in this video is trying to get us to think that what we're seeing isn't all that serious
Uchiwasoue Soue That is a good theory, that's why I love this video so much. It makes you think and truly think about the history of gun violence/race issues in America
My thoughts are that it's representing the way we use distractions to attract the publics attention in certain directions and not focused on making progress together.
