Childish Gambino- This is America- How did the media become race experts on this song displaying 60 year old racial themes two days after it's release?
I guess the media has to jump on the band wagon. Given the imagery and the hyper violence I think it has probably captured the zeitgeist of the American people, what with the what seems like a constant flow of shootings etc.
With that in mind it is no wonder the media has jumped on to the roller coaster to squeeze what money they can out of it, meaning that they will likely completely dilute or not even notice the actual message.
You see the media has been compromised all over the world and i believe there is hardly any media that is actually genuine this days. The moment they have what to sell to the public to divert attentions, they never hesitate to do so.
For me i hardly believe everything that comes from the media these days, before i take it, i make ma own research and then i ask myself what really is the intention of the media, before they decided to embark on this mission.
The media all over the world have been compromised. There was a reason this video was hyped, sooner or later you will see it, sir @aggroed i can assure you on this.
Phillip defranco helped boost its view and he has millions of subs.
I had recently heard of Donald Glover after they canceled his netflix show, but was interested when Phil brought up the symbolism...
Everything is becomming connected these days.
And isint that symbol less for a fake group and more so associeted with the capstone of our personal pyramid when we connect to the essence of the creator within us?
I might be wrong, but its good to ask questions for sure.
I need to reflect before I can put into words how that made me feel after watching this. Disturbing is just one of the many feelings I have over this. It is also another example imo of media trying to divided people with exaggerations to me it feels like another way to try to divide people. I will revisit my thoughts on this one I have a little more time to process what I just watched.
There are just too many synopses flashing topics that just tire me out.
The deep entrenched, long term, scenarios that always rotate around, but they are always there (Syria, Israel, Palestine, Nazi, Racism, Middle East, Saudis)... then the layered murkiness (Royal Families, Pope, Mega Capitalists)... just more noise and misdirection to spread dis/mis information - everyone can agree on some clear broad stroke - but place many varied strokes and we all see things differently.
Struck me with the same thoughts immediately. I do not watch music videos any more but somehow this was thrust into the National consciousness and I started seeing it everywhere so I watched it. I'm very skeptical of the artistic value here!
I strongly agree with you on this. When I first saw this song which was last week, I couldn't believe how in the world it was doing on social media or how destructive it was. I was actually really confused and really ashamed of what is going on on this world.
I had no idea that this song had so many views which is even more disturbing by how the media is totally pushing this in the open for the whole world to see. What is Illuminati up to now?
Damn good insight, Aggy!! I too saw this video, and I wondered the same thing about the insta-viral status. The media jumped on it in, like, 6.66 seconds, and esentially made it the hottest viseo in a damn long time. Hell, I hadn't even known it was out until last Friday, when I woke to find my daily news assault had been infiltrated by 10 media whores all talkin' bout Childish Gambino. (and childish is an understatement, if you ask me.) So I cued up the video and I only had 2 thoughts the first time around that I watched it. 1) Donald needs to hit the ab master before going shirtless, and 2)what the hell is up with his pants? Are those Jordache jeans from the 80's?
But I didn't even know about that Illuminati jacket. Yeah, that is pretty obvious.
Conclusion: Donald Glover is a sellout, trying to cash in on his black advantage, whilst he's just a run-of-the-mill Performing Arts school graduate from New York City, having attended the very same b.s. school as Spike Lee--ya' know, the same brutha' that no less than a half dozen articles were published this very morning, lauding his latest entry, being celebrated by the elite crackers that act as jurists for that circlejerk known as Cannes Film Festival...
And I suspect, at the end of the day, Glover will do whatever "they" tell him.
Spike Lee=Donald Glover=Yawn.
I think you're exactly right, this smacks of an artificial topic to have people focusing their attention on. A friend of mine sent me the video as I don't know anything really about Childish Gambino I found the music to be mediocre at best and didn't know what all the hype was about. I would definitely agree with you on this one.
I choose to think they just made some cool art, I hope it isn't anything any deeper than that. If it is we were probably screwed anyway.
But maybe seeing this will help someone know they're not going crazy and they're seeing the same bs going on too. It's sucks going through the day not knowing if you're just tripping or if the world is really as crazy as you think it is.
Maybe we should be teaching community empowerment in schools though. Sounds like a lot us need it.
As someone who's never stepped in the US my take on how real or not what he portrays is, is probably not that accurate since most of what I know is from the media.
But as a hip hop lover I also find that rappers these days put too much emphasis on killing and the gang life amongst other things and often times without any real message behind it. (Can't stand most of the mainstream music these days lol)
In my opinion Donald Glover is usually one of the good ones tho I'm not yet sure about this video and the symbolism behind it. We might be loosing another good one :(
But enough with that. Today I'll be the one memeing it for you. Coz apparently its not allowed. Lol Enjoy your day!!
Right now it's the herd thing to be outraged on Twitter. Racism has been going on — oh, forever. The increase in people being outspoken about it that wouldn't usually say anything in real-life, capturing on smartphones, and making hashtags is newer I suppose. Still, I've yet to see anyone ready to roll up to a killer-cop's doorstep to ask what the problem is.
The Post never gave a shit about Hip Hop. The industry has to embrace the fusions coming forth however, because that's what the kids want. And they feel like they need something to stand for also. This is my (23yr old) son's generation. I hear them though. Still, I present hard questions they can't wrap their heads around. Where once, my mother was arrested for using the wrong bathroom — these days, she (and Bruno Mars) are not brown enough to be part of the conversation. Meanwhile, Cardi B is. Colorism. Divide and conquer is the oldest trick in the book aside from "create crisis" "profit from crisis" "be the savior of the crisis."
We're at the profit from crisis point. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Of course the Royal wedding wasn't a grooming stage.
Who's running for president next, Michelle or Oprah?
This is not to be sour or antagonistic at all. It's a cool game in the industry to pretend to be Illum^ yet not be, but be, but not know it. Will not comment on Cardi's trip to Dubai, you know the hotel I'm sure.
Inside industry "stuff" is why many of us just remain "Indie."
What could be the distraction from? The left will point at what the right is doing. The right will point at what the left is doing. Both are right. Look at what the wallet is doing though.

Confusion, doubt, inaction, apathy, numbness...
