Youtube: Childish Gambino- This Is America

Music Board hijack- Didn't see anyone discussing this outside of the music board when I did a search but the video seemed like an O-T discussion..

guy in background at 2:14 commits suicide jumping off the second story
Pale white horse w/ masked figure in black followed by police cars (Four Horsemen) @ 2:36
Kills the church choir after coming into the room dancing before killing the choir ala Dylan Roof praying with the church before going on his shooting rampage
Gambino wearing confederate uniform pants throughout the video

Donald Glover running for his life at the end of the video after sparking a joint emphasis on whites of eyes and teeth at different points in the video
Used around 10 different dances in the video from other performers (distractions used by media to keep people complacent)

Other hidden meanings in the video, some more obvious, some less. I'm sure others here can spot more of them. Have fun.

People at work keep talking about this.


Why do people care so much?

Donald Glover has a video where he escapes being hung.

Like his music.

One of the few people in entertainment that I would actually consider an 'artist'

I hope to see more artists from other countries mimic Donald Glover with a video like this. Like Syria, Iraq, etc... Just so we compare how bad shite is.

It's definitely not his best work as far as his musicianship work goes. But I like it. I like the hidden imagery and symbolism. I respect artists who know how to incorporate actual meaning into their music. Gambino fits that bill.

It’s an interesting video despite the satire. Well made. He’s a really captivating performer.
