SocMed is going nuts over the latest music video by Childish Gambino. I don't feel like watching it. tldw is probably "America be rayciss 'n shit".
I'm sure after Kanye West shocked many as he dabbled in "off-the-plantation" political incorrectness, the masses needed a new voice to steer them back to the same old narratives that give them a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Some of the typical clickbaity gems on Socialist media run thusly:
The summaries of this song state that it includes references to Jim Crow, etc… Critical Race Theory made into music planning session probably started like
Its a video of him shooting black people and saying this is America, then him dancing. You think that this would be shown in classes? why?
Camden Hill
Yeah, it'll be shown in classes. Have you been paying attention to what sort of propaganda has been shoved down the throats of school kids in the last 30 years? Transgenderism, selecting pronouns, homosexuality. The scenes with the shootings don't involve any gore, so there might be a "trigger warning" but, it'll be shown, trust me.
Summer is nearly upon us. With the summer's heat comes violent outbursts, riots and all sorts of chicanery. CRT courses will find this song in their syllabus. Go back to the rock you apparently live under.
Hudson Russell
Let's raise taxes to ship them back to Africa where they can rape and kill each other without worrying about what white people think of them.
Only thing I know of this negro is that he raps about getting white woman to lick his asshole. I refuse to listen or watch anything he's involved in.
Carson Baker
youtube.com/watch?v=qgXTHwA0yo0 It's a critique of black culture, retard. This is more redpilled than anything Kanye has said.
Landon King
It looks like he's bitching about gun violence, specifically within the black community. Not a bad thing to rap about per se, except yeah, he's probably blaming white people and police.
Although I have to say, police aren't exactly great. Unfortunately, black people collectively fucked up any good attempts at police reform with their race riots.
Benjamin Gonzalez
….dude. Watch the video. Think about WHO is being criticized in each shot. Why is Gambino dancing like an idiot and making all kinds of weird faces? Why does he not care about all the shit going on around him? Why does NO ONE in the video care? They're all black people. Why don't they care? This video is literally 180 degrees away from what you're seeing right now.
Benjamin Russell
Yeah, it looks like a self-critique more than anything. Of course white guilt liberals want to think it's all about evil whites, but that's not really what he's saying…
Isaac Ross
Exactly, why would they show this video in classes then? It goes against their narrative, hes exposing black on black crime, no mention of whites or depiction of whites doing anything in this video. You should watch the video you are trying to critique first, you boomer kike.
Nathaniel Martinez
It's not just about black people killing each other. He does seem to be parodying black dance styles juxtaposing it with the blithe ignorance of the consequences of their violence.
All the articles are treating it as a chronicle of white racism in America. Until Donald Glover comes out and explains it, himself, it will be the only take. And even if he does explain it as you (and now, I) see it, it will still be treated as a historical review of white racism in America.
Caleb Jackson
There is literally zero thought put into this whatsoever. It is an ape doing his little choreographed number for Shlomo's camera crew to the one tune it understands.
Daniel Turner
...
Evan Garcia
Another song of absolutely INCOHERENT nigger babbling and this new trend of niggers mumbling or half way speaking their words. Of course the (((masses))) will label it brilliant. Anyways OP, thanks for killing a thread bringing attention to a nobody with zero talent. You're a faggot and you shouldn't make anymore threads. This board is for news and politics, not reddit posts
Jaxon Gonzalez
Is there any point to this video other than shirtless Donald Glover dancing badly on 1980s Japanese import cars?
Alexander Hughes
Music is part of meta-political narratives. Inasmuch as this song is mainstream and will be referenced directly or indirectly, this is a highly politicized song.
Sebastian Barnes
I know, I read the article, and it's fucking hilarious PFFFFT, fuckin' SURE. I bet that was intentional. And the children's uniforms (indicating they have something ELSE they should be doing instead of dancing), the senseless murder, the proclamations of "I'm shinin'" and "I'm so pretty" while shit is LITERALLY blowing up around you. Yeah, that's worth glossing over. Let's get a close-up of those white floors.
Landon Taylor
shut up you retard
William King
Well, I'm not sure about that. I think the MAIN thing people see up-front is the anti-gun message. "This is America", meaning the gun violence. Doesn't really touch on white supremacy at all, despite how much these journalists wanna force it.
Nolan Reed
Forgoing proper in an attempt to seem aloof just makes you look even more assblasted you know.
Aaron Turner
If it's the Bill Cosby-esque critique of black culture that we all see it as, Donald Glover better watch his back!
Jordan Rivera
When a shitskin bitches about America they are implicitly bitching about whites.
Cameron Lewis
Correct. The narrative will spin this 180 whether it's the point of the video or not.
Brody Ross
No one cares about this gay nigger kikes are parading around.
Lucas Morgan
I wouldn't say it speaks to white/black racism but more about niggers killing niggers and blaming everyone else but themselves as they chase money, a promiscuous lifestyle, drugs and violence. That yahoo article misses the mark completely and goes off the mental gymnastics of niggers praising this video on twitter as it mocks them to their face. There is not a single white person in the video, unless you count the niggers that are dressed in 50s attire as supposedly being white people. But the part where he shoots the black church congregation slaps that theory down. Whether Glover aimed for this intentionally or not, I don't know enough about him to say. But the video itself, on it's face, is critical of the black community.
Ethan Carter
This, nice digits by the way user.
Jaxson Rivera
Also this music is shitty. I thought he had a couple good songs back when he was in derrick comedy, but when did he change to this stupid new rap style?
Samuel Lewis
He's a mainstream artist, releasing a politically charged song, and journalists are trying to wrap in anti-white platitudes. Yes, people care about it. Go stormpost someplace else.
Cameron Butler
Those are niggers chasing him in the end.
Samuel Thompson
Some white faces in there, too.
Aiden Russell
No. There is not a single white person in the video.
Parker Powell
So many dubs in an eceleb cancer thread
dubs
Christian Young
A soyboy at work was waxing lyrically over this nig to anyone that would listen. It's something about the primitive nature of a shirtless nigger that turns these cucks on. I'll do my self a favour, and ignore this tripe.
Jace Kelly
These are the kinds of posters you get when the mods ban all criticism of civnat politicians.
Easton Adams
Actually, I'm wrong, there are a few whiteys sprinkled in there. Based on the context of the rest of the video tho, I interpret this as the white left that enable this niggerish behavior
.>>11561261 Aye niggers is niggers but it cannot be denied there is something in the air surrounding the black community at this time. I feel Zig Forums is missing an opportunity to critique and observe a strange phenomena simply because it involves niggers.
Sebastian Wood
He also made a song about the Thai Fuckshack's very own jew
Evan Gomez
Lyric Genius's page for this song seems to explain some of the lyrics as commentaries on white-black racism. Not sure if these observations came before the white liberal analysis on huffpo/yahoo or not.
If this is a song illustrating his frustration with the way blacks "dance for the joy of the white man", where do you think the frustration will be ultimately unleashed? Is it meant to piss off blacks? I can't get in their heads well enough to figure that out.
I'm sure there must be some frustration among successful blacks which would make them want to push their people over the edge. Remember Michael Jackson's "They don't care about us"?
Fucking this. Black people realized just how the left saw them when Kanye simply took a damn picture with Donald Trump.
They call us racists which, we are, but most of us just want white people to be respected, and they're reacting like actually slaveholders over Kanye taking a pic with The Don!
Jackson Ross
When Michael Jackson's video for his song "they don't really care about us" came out, white conservatives claimed he was hoping to incite a riot. Is this Gambino song MJ's riot incitement 2.0?
Elijah Jones
Just read the lyrics to the song. To attribute any meaning to this song is foolish. He doesn't make any kind of meaningful statement in the entire song. Its retarted rambling
Jacob Morgan
If I've learned anything from using genius, it is that they tend to hijack lyrics and apply their own spin to the meaning of the song
Carson Brooks
…that IS the point, idiot. That's black culture. There's a car burning behind him, people running from gunfire, and he makes a gay gesture and says "I'm so pretty". WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? He's holding a mirror up to the black community. He's telling them their priorities are fucked up.
Levi Ramirez
I noticed that too but I think that's why the imagery is so important for the message. people will think it's just another song about money, drugs and sex and violence they can bump to while the vid displays the actual nigger tier shit that 95% percent of the black community lives and contribute to.
Jeremiah Allen
He's mocking blacks.
Anthony Myers
Potentially, if these rappers kept going, they could even push a sort of black separatist movement if they wanted to. Despite being in a 50% black city and being around blacks since childhood, I really underestimated just how much clout they held in black communities. White journalists and Democrats thought blacks listened and reported to them, which, politically, is more or less true, but culturally couldn't be further from.
If we could somehow push a wedge between the white left and blacks, we could really achieve some happenings. Had a friend say something earlier to the tone, if Dems lost just 8% of their black vote, they would become a permanent minority party based on current voting trends.
Matthew Martinez
We desperately are in need of a second Hitler so to speak.
Let's go one move deeper in this variation. I think there is a white-blame element here (Dylan Roof church shooting [blacks don't shoot up their own churches]) But, if he's mocking blacks, what is it he wants them to do. Stop partying. Stop throwing their lives away.
What kind of emotional reaction is mockery intended to incite? Anger.
Liam Reed
HOW TO EMBED FOR NEWFAGS
Christian Ross
No blacks aren't smart enough to connect the message, this song is being celebrated
Anthony King
How is this going over your head he is mocking black culture? Killing the church isn't an automatic allegory to Dylann Roof. When people aren't intelligent enough to understand why they need to be altruistic they have to have religion to keep them moral.
Jack Allen
I thought about the Roof angle as well though there are 10 singers and not the 9 that were killed. It could be interpreted as the black community's turn from the church. Black people, say what you will, are highly religious. Even more so 10, 20, 30 , 40 years ago. In many black communities the church is the only ones who give a shit about the community. This user put it better than I could.
Cameron Cox
By a liberal media and ignorant kangs that can't see whats right in front of their face. Adding a whole 'nother level of irony to the song and vid.
Ethan Morales
He starts the song talking about partying, as if that's all people have on their minds. Then shoots someone in the head three black men come up hide gun hide body. Then Gambino starts saying this is America as in this the face of blacks in America. Black commits crime, black community covers for him. Then cut to him talking about vanity which is what rappers do to gain popularity in order to distract people from how shitty they actually are.
Gambino was mocking blacks I see now.
Noah Morris
Like I said, I don't know Gambino enough to say if he did this intentionally or if this is one of those instances where poe's law has completely taken the wheel. But on it's face, it's critical.
Ayden Brooks
Gambino has never been explicitly anti-white, like Kendrick Lamar or maybe Chance the Rapper. He drops racial slurs against all races in many of his songs, and usually raps about partying or self-loathing or something, and has even made fun of liberals from time to time. Obviously I'm not saying he's le based black guy, but this is an interesting song, and it's funny seeing the journalists desperately want a good, proper, white hating negro for them to talk about over crystal glasses of cum.
Henry Torres
I'm glad people are starting to get it. I was really pissed at the start of this thread when people were like "HURR DURR NIGGER MUSIC HAHAHA". While I long for a time when hip-hop is no longer the cultural zeitgeist, first of all this ain't even hip-hop, and secondly, this is WAY smarter than anything that's been on the radio in a while.
Thomas Hughes
Actual lyric "America I just check my following list and you motherfuckers owe me" How mainstream media constantly fans the flames of black anger.
I just watched the live SNL version. There is a clear juxtaposition of the churchy celebratory music with a thuggish style. Anyway, in the live performance, Gambino performs the lyric "black man" while the choir responds "get your money". "Black man" only makes sense in a context where a non-black man is saying this. Still, this could be seen as a critique of his own community. And perhaps Achim's razor would dictate that it is just that. He should probably watch his back, and sleep with one eye open.
Jason Hughes
checked, but it's more like there's probably a lot of symbolism hidden in this shitshow. like a particular justin beiber song.
Angel Gomez
Jesus fucking christ this is the most hilarious shit I've ever seen my sides hurt I'm laughing so hard. Even better is this guy is for real and not a troll. What a time to be alive.
Daniel Davis
My sides were fucking split when I saw that shit come up in a Kanye thread on twitter. Niggers were so pissed kek
James Powell
"Black man, get your money" Feels like I'm reaching but blacks feel entitled to reparations. They hold themselves as if the world owes them something.
Jordan Long
Hip-hop is changing and pussifying for sure. This is actually a very interesting topic and I'm glad this thread is happening. You had hip-hop of the late 80's and 90's perfectly reflect the VERY violent times of the US – the gang lifestyles, shootin' niggas, partying, etc. Half the rap was about crime and nothing more, and then all the big gang leaders got arrested, and then hip-hop goes more mainstream, then pussifies. Now you have these dweebs like Lil Pump, Lil Yacthy, and numale rappers like Chance the Rapper, J-cole, etc.
Hip-hop is changing, and is not recognizable when compared to the original stuff. This has a huge affect on Black people in America.
Nathan Hall
No one could have predicted this timeline.
Noah Collins
If this is black cultural-critique, it's in the vein of the most controversial messages ever to put by blacks to blacks, right up there with that preacher who said blacks never built a great city, or the florida congresswoman who said she's glad to be here in America, not Africa. If the message goes over the heads of other blacks, is it more likely to piss them off or wake them up? I realize this is a false dichotomy, but is it really, tho?
Nathaniel Russell
I think Gambino is at a place where he can say shit like that and be taken seriously. …orrrrr maybe not. One possibility is an IMMINENT character assassination. Watch out for that. If you see the media trying it, you KNOW he's on to something.
Chase Lee
I dont think it's enough. Must be depressing to make a song criticizing the black community only to have it celebrated as rich in black culture. Irony. Maybe it needs time to sit and smolder over till people see it for what it is.
Also I know childish gambino from when I was a kid watching his skit show called Derrick comedy he often had skits making fun of race and blacks
Hudson Brown
I've changed my mind about this song about 5 times in the course of this thread. Of course, the more substantive discussions about the narratives in this song would occur here, and not in the light of day. I wonder whether any of the alt-lite e-celebs will take a stab at this. If someone like Stephen Crowder celebrates this song as black cultural-critique, there could be a shit-show worth watching due to the blacklash.
Cameron Taylor
Dude the meaning is obvious, but people don't want to see a rapper they idolize actually be critical towards defining and negative aspects of African-American culture, so they're just fucking around, trying to find anything OTHER than the actual meaning of the song.
Adam Ortiz
I think that about sums it up.
Eli Morgan
Damn, I actually stumbled on this eceleb who did a decent video on hip hop, masculinity and Trump that spans the genre through its short life. I don't do ecelebs so I wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't worth watching the eight and a half minutes.
Gavin Gray
20 years ago after Tupac and Biggie were killed rap was all about making money, Escalades, and private jets. Now rap is all about taking pills, dealing drugs, glocks, and I AM A FUCKING GOON SOMEONE SLIT MY THROATs. Not sure how that is pussification. Murder rates have gone up with the music going from just being about partying to being a drug addicted gang lord.
Jose Ramirez

Robert Barnes
This. The niggers are waking up.
OP is as always a faggot.
Sebastian Sullivan
Okay, I watched the video. The song itself seems very youthful, like an nursery rhyme set to loud distorted oil drums– very evenly mixed african and african american beats. Lyrically and visually, it seems to me that he is mocking the passive previous black icons of music which were all about getting paid grabbing your crotch on the hood of cars etc. Shooting so graphically is unusual for a music video and continues the theme of taking the violence to another level, again mocking the past weaker black musicians of music. For what end though, is it a statement of gun violence or a message to incite violence or a mockery of previous messages to the black youth to get paid and commit crimes to get yours etc by black artists of the past? I am sure the artist himself can explain what he means by all of that and will over time.
However, musically, the song is of no value, it is not very good or catchy, and yet the amount of money that went into making the video is what I find most telling. The amount of people, the choreography, the special effects of the gun violence is quite extensive. This was likely an investment of incitement. Shame on them.
Jacob Fisher
A slight rise in murder rates recently doesn't even compare to the murder rates of the 80's and 90's. These rappers who rap about glocks don't even know how to fire one. The difference is the old was real, this new stuff is MOSTLY (not all) larping.
Carter Green
I lasted a minute and a half, waiting and waiting to see if there was an underlying point. Instead it was nonsensical nigger babble. OP you worthless faggot, never bring this gibberish to Zig Forums again. The Führer frowns upon you.
Carter Bennett
Great vid user. Unrelated, but never suppress your nature, for the sake of anyone unless you have something to immediately and objectively gain from it.
Violence is honestly underrated on the right.
Thomas Johnson
Record company AR men would have passed on this, if it were submitted for consideration, on its lack of a "hook". In fact, that is a huge oversight in the effort to launch this song into viral-dom. It's impossible to sing back the tune or any other part of it. You can't, for instance, say "hey did you hear Gambino's song that goes like this…". I like to describe songs like this as possessing a quality of discontinuity owing to the many striking changes in the song's sections. The intended audience for the audio itself must therefore be different than that for the video. The audio (as performed live on SNL) is intended as art, (white liberals, black CRT) while the video is intended to reach the masses with its discontinuous mood swings through his facial expressions featuring on one hand stylistic jubilant black dance forms and on the other shocking and satirical violence and thuggery.
Eli Anderson
Even his skit A Kayne Place is kinda a jab at liberal left
He is the only black guy in skit. He brings up Kanyes tweets, and the white liberals are so outraged that they are willing to get themselves killed over Kanyes.
Its low key but its along the same lines as his song
Then at the end he the black man finds himself to still like kanye even though he knows what he said.
Subversive
Dylan Davis
The alt-right fucking hates the fact that blacks are moving away from the left.
Ol Dicky Spencer. I'm as white nationalist as the next guy, but strategy is strategy. Nationalism is like a domino effect when it comes to multiracial areas like the US. Get the blacks riled up, like during the BLM riots, and white nationalism follows.
Nolan Scott
Im risking a ban posting this but towards the end he is begging people to use it. Its time.
Matthew Reed
You're not speaking on behalf of Zig Forums retard, go take your gay nigger shit and "muh we just want to be r-respected!" shit anywhere else but here, gayboy.
OMG DUDE, FUCKING BASED! LET'S DO A COMPLETE ONE EIGHTY ON THESE SCORCHED MONKEYS WHO, WHILE REMAINING A MINORITY, COMMIT MOST CRIME AND ARE A GENERAL PLAGUE ON SOCCIETY LMAO
Cooper Parker
Who the fuck cares about this nigger mumbling some gay shit in a "music" video? Sage.
Did Nipples even notice the hilarious episode where Trayon White exposed the kikes as weather manipulating, money hoarding scum, and then completely ignored weeks of kvetching?
Elijah Scott
Good music video and music isn't bad either tbh. Its not an average we wuz slaves video, more of a critique on how American nogs are, look at how he's dressed while shooting church-going nogs and see the stealing and violence shit happening in the background being done by blacks, "black man getcho money" probably isn't about welfare, notice the cars and sluttily-dressed niggresses, more likely about how materialistic niggers are nowadays. Problem with this shit is that I doubt will actually influence niggers that greatly, maybe marginally motivate them to be better people at best, otherwise I doubt Jews would be releasing this stuff. Maybe the reason is more to convince Whites watching it how there are Blacks that exist who also have opinions like them?
Adam Hughes
Even better when he went to the holocaust center and said the Nazis dindu nuffin.
Caleb Garcia

Camden Campbell
That's a solution. RWDS might be a solution. But the point is that nobody is going to be talking about "solutions" (final or otherwise) if they have no idea there's a problem You understand: the media zeitgeist at the moment is about how great black people are and how they can do everything. This is probably the first person on TV to criticize them in decades.
Ryan Clark
Don't take the bait my dude. This thread has been good so far.
Jace Allen
I could see this topic as being more legitimately "black Zig Forums". Does black Zig Forums not bleed if you prick it? haha. Strange timeline indeed, if black Zig Forums = white Zig Forums
I wonder what the white equivalent would be to this. Probably not NatSoc, but more likely something like what I saw in a recent counter-currents post (I can't find it). A scandinavian band larped as though they were anti-church, but showed scenes of a terrorist attack in their music video.
