Childish Gambino This Is America Official Video - Producer Reaction

[@d4mdcykey]

One of the most brilliant videos ever produced. Nearly every frame contains metaphors, symbolism, double entendres, and similes that morph into yet more, deeper meanings. One could teach an entire semester in social cues and modern culture from this one video.

Where does the Uncle Ruckus face and the dugey fit into that..?

[@chitownbear7733]

@@jz1443 it fits with the Jim Crow pants and pose he did with the first beat change. Black self hatred is a theme here too. Especially in the choir scene where he used a stockless ak47 ie Draco

[@tommy2x4]

i would dare say that it's one of the most important videos created and every single person that reviews this video misses it every time. they fall into the very thing Gambino is criticizing our society for. when the people are gunned down, instead of being in shock, reviewers go right back into grooving with the beat...our society is lost

[@bhperfig349]

@@chitownbear7733lots of jim crow stuff. the pose he did is jim crow. but the pants are actually the pants of a confederate soldier.

[@sparkybish]

This video hits hard every time.

[@jldlc7610]

Absolutely! There's always a new thing to notice.

[@brandy6281]

You have to watch more than once. So much going on in the background.

[@mikellanas1207]

The pants and stance is in reference to a Jim Crow caricature.

[@shadowfire_08]

they are Confederate soldier pants, too

[@Deeraise]

The stance when he first shoots the guy, and the goofy looking face he makes a little before that with one eye closed -- both old black-face/jim crow references.

[@bhperfig349]

the pants are not jim crow. just confederate soldier pants. jim crow pants looked nothing like that

[@lorkogai3031]

There's a film professor. Here on KZbin that breaks down all the symbolism in this video. It's like a half hour. It's really good.

[@shoryuken1979]

Those are Confederate soldier trousers, in case your question hasn't been answered yet.

[@kyleschuler1515]

Alright man. Good reaction man. MAN MAN!

Thanks for playing this song Mike

[@bonniesmitth9744]

Behold the man on the pail horse for he is death

[@belindalopes6774]

From what I have seen on other reactions, they are pants from the civil war.

17 seconds of silence for students killed in Parkland

[@anagram8]

"...I'm so cold like yeah, I'm dope like yeah..."

[@xGambit13]

Theres prob over 100 hidden messages in this song. It's best to look them up and watch the video a few times while looking at the list to catch them all

[@vvsandgaming4648]

Leo Moracchioli from Frog Leap Studios did an awesome cover of This is Amercia

[@SerikKuttimuratov]

What's the name of the track you read at the end? where can I find it? I have goosebumps💪

Today in Mississippi could be historic, or it could just be another day, depending on the bravery of the Mississippi legislator. Change the flag!

[@The_Kiosk]

Rapper FALZ did a song shortly after this called "This is Nigeria" that sort of puts this song in its first world place with some perspective. I highly recommend that one as it's better in all respects.

He might get re-elected. That’s how fucked things are.

I’m so sad to see black ppl not understand The substance of this video!!! Not the pants ! Not the Jim Crow Facial expressions!! Not the Chaos in the back with a white horse just galloping about thru the video !! The kids on the cellular phones!! It’s like black ppl like this video and they only see him dancing and smoking weed and think this video is a cool black dude just what??? Like wow!! They are oppressed and they don’t even see it in a video cause it’s a black man making music and they thing it’s just cool not seeing the hidden messages!! Makes me think if they are comfortable??? Cause how you not paying attention!!! There was a similar video like this of like 6 black women !! And they were just having fun and praising gambiano without even knowing the whole song!!! So fake to me !! They don’t even care!! But when someone dies!!! Here they come !!
