No this has been going on for a long time for generations 😭
A black person shooting other black people? You're right that's been going on for generations. Still goes on today
Literally 😭😭😭
I'm old enough to remember it's been going on since at least the 1980s, in its essence.
All day every day
No, this was happening all along.. some are just starting to see it as the fire grows bigger.
This aged so well. This country is going to shit all around us but we still focused on the dancing and singing.

The fact that the existence of a music video of a black man dancing around in the trousers of a Confederate uniform lasted longer than the Confederacy itself is very beautiful.
There would be photos and media of confederates that are still in existence today, long after the confederacy failed horrifically. What's your point? Of course this lasted longer, what were they going to do? Scrub it from human history?
The fact it was able to be made at all is the beautiful part.
@@TheMuddFishhlol only because the former confederates are such sore losers that they invented an entire mythology to justify why they had to secede (the preservation of the institution of Slavery)
From a drake diss to one of the cleanest song transitions ever

This song is so shitty
Today in 2018, rapper, Childish Gambino dropped the iconic track, 'This is America' and it became the 0nly rap song in history to ever win 'Grammy Song of the Year' or 'Record of the Year'.

Yup....that's why I'm here 🤣
I like how as soon as you get comfortable with the soft parts and start to sway to the melody, he shoots a gun and snaps you out of it, almost as if to remind you "hey don't get comfortable, stay alert, or you'll be next"
“Why you laughing? These white people will kill you”
The imagery of the gentle cloth wrapping for the guns while the bodies lie abandoned and bloodied and just dragged away without a care is still so haunting.
It's also red, wink wink republican party.
@@cl570 seriously, pretty democrat, but I vote for whoever I agree with, but that he nothing to do with this. Stop trying to make it about one specific set of people.
@@teopalafox it definitely could be with the red (republican) party protecting their guns for whatever moronic reason they've got
*Yes*
@@teopalafox The message of the video about gun violence is the one you're seeing on the screen. Why else would the cloth be red, why else would they handle the guns more carefully than the bodies?

This is what politicians should be saying. Not that it's un-Ameican. First step towards healing and repairing is admitting the problem.
@@---yx7ti right, interesting to see so many shocked that this happened, when that pass year 2020 trump balanty said he wouldn't give up his power, he said what he was going to do.it just shows to many had their eyes closed.he plotted what he was going to do to our faces ,
I've seen this video so many times and I didn't realize that was SZA sitting on that car.
Whenever I hear this song come up on shuffle or out in the wild, I have to stop and watch the video again. An absolute masterpiece.

Well the second amendment was for protection & hunting. People respected & understood that but now 30 or 40 years later, we're lost. I blame music & the media, lack of morals, solid parents & families. Because if guns are the problem, why wasn't there shootings in the 1920's or 1950's outside of petty crimes & the mob? Nobody went on shooting spree's for no reason. What happened?

Pov: this was originally a drake diss
You must’ve came from that shirt cause I did
@@ePotaitoi did too
I don't know what made him come out with this but oh 😭
The guns are carried away carefully, and the bodies are dragged
Great observation! Didn't notice that
and i removed my hand from the plates holding my chicken rosting in the hoven. close one.
thats the point of it
Jeff Manes this is America
idk why you're complaining, if someone wasn't careful with the gun someone else could die. the bodies being dragged is inhumane and the metaphor is strong but
“This a celly, that’s a tool” This line hits hard because people wouldn’t know about the murders unless they had phones
It also has another double-meaning as guns are often referred to as ‘tools’ in a lot of street slang. People have been shot by police for pulling out their cell phones and police “mistake” the phone for a gun.
“This a celly-“ is what the person pulling it out would be thinking, “-that’s a tool” is what the cop would be thinking before they shoot.
its also a reference to Stephen Clark who was accused of have a gun and was gunned down is own backyard just to find out her only had his cellphone
or that the victim in question was holding a cell phone that the police "thought was a gun" and then killed them....
The song was made to have fun not about social standings and shit
u do realize that if ur in a cell there is a celly ofc u assume they have a weapon it is jail anything is possible there i been in jail

I wish the gun sounds were actually in the original audio. They help transition the song really well, and would add to the message of the song.
There's probably a dozen good reasons why they werent included

@@1saamor897 Same old response. But none of you are ever able to explain what the song even means lol.
This song is about the violence and racism in america and all the dumb shit that goes on. People say it predicted the future because america has gotten worse since this song was published in these aspects. @@spenser9908
It also shows how people will ignore whats happening. With the people dancing in the backround.
Looks like Childish Gambino wasn't just commentating, he was prophesizing.
He wasn't prophesizing anything, this shit been going on continuously for ages.
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
@@t3kkrz426 Fucking facts im in australia and people are acting like this shit isnt happening here too.
@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.
FilmThemesAndScenes you are stupid if you think that isn’t true. Only difference is USA is more open with their racism, but in the other countries, it is more institutional and systematic

Reminds me of when Eva Longoria said she often is asked when did her family cross the border from Mexico, and she replied "my ancestors never crossed the border, the border crossed them"
They have always been in the same place, and that place was once a territory of Mexico but is now part of the United States!
I really hope that helps some people gain some much needed perspective on what it means to be considered "an American citizen"
If they are their lands, then why don’t they own them?
