Jamie. Respect. Giving the attention to Donald Glover and pointing out his genius is major and neccessary. Combating racism is going to take hard conversations. This Is America needs to be shown repeatedly and in high school history classes. ☮❤🖤

Despite how awkward anyone feels this was, the love that was shown was priceless Jamie I salute you because you didn't do this for his self-esteem and you didn't do this for awareness for our country but you did it based off the fact that this was someone that was brave enough to stand up and say hey this is what is really going on in our country and the fact that he was brave enough to admit all of it positive and negative was what made the song what it is now. Salute Childish Gambino I was listening to you before this came out and watching Atlanta before this came out and salute to Jamie Foxx because that was straight love and we need more of that in the world not just America

Normalpornfornormalpeople Well that’s removed my doubt, now I know for you don’t know what it means. A genius is someone who’s exceptional intelligent or creative, either just in general or within their own craft. Pretty sure Glover fits that description.

[@maiiiali]

I thought he'd get an award or something, can't believe he wasn't even given recognition. Impromptu recognition for a guy who made music with such deep meaning. A song with a very important message behind it and with great relation especially to the black community. Opening the world's eyes to what it's really like to be a black man (prsn) in America, but BLACK entertainment couldn't even acknowledge that. They instead choose to recognise and give awards to mumble rappers WOW, 'This is America'... As has been clearly depicted.🙌

[@deannajohnson8778]

Just shows how out of touch they all are. They got money so think their in a different boat.

[@t.5021]

I've had the luck of seeing Childish Gambino perform live twice in my life. Wild performances both times that made thousands of people go absolutely batshit for him. The guy's insanely talented, from comedy stand-up, to tv roles and acting, to writing and producing his own shows, to singing, rapping and dancing. And he's incredibly shy about it all when he's praised for the work he does, and prefers to pass the accolades off on to someone else. Gotta love this man.

[@c.k.4883]

This is a moment that I would've actually loved to see live instead of watching a 4 minute clip of it on the KZbin channel for a network I no longer support. Donald Glover is damn near like a younger reincarnation of Jamie Foxx... a true "renaissance man" when it comes to the entertainment industry. Both can act exceptionally well, both have great voices, and much like Jamie Foxx, Donald Glover also used to do stand up comedy and actually had shows on Comedy Central as well waaaaaaaaaay before he got well established in rapping and singing. I've always looked up to Jamie Foxx and have been following his career since the 90's when he was putting out albums, doing stand up for Def Comedy Jam, and had his own sitcom. To see this moment is just absolutely amazing! And even though I don't support BET anymore, thank you for allowing this to happen. Ya just don't know how monumental some moments can be to one person while everyone else looks past it as if it's a common occurrence.

[@Jewelzbabiii]

He was fine in his mind, but everybody uncomfortable. This was cringey af .

[@gr33nl4nt3rn]

It probably had more to do with the venue/stage. Awards shows that big and formal make it hard for improv to connect the performers and audience. Obviously it wasn't that big a deal, and was very light and fun, but it's also pretty clear that Donald Glover wasn't prepared to get up on stage and was put on the spot, so given the size and setting, it made things a little awkward.

[@iamhexoronii]

He was confident and body language wasn’t awkward but still made it awkward and too much with setting it up lol you know how Michael Scott is being himself but still makes things awkward ? Lmao

[@corie2860]

The media is saying that because Jamie kept going off script. He went off script when he called up Childish Gambino and Michael B. Jordan. I'm not sure when else, but those two moments weren't part of the show. BET overall, was awkward this year, starting with the pre-show. They also didn't have anyone who should have performed, performing.

[@predator9054]

Nia Diamond that’s because the BET Awards is a damn joke now it’s not about BLACK entertainment television anymore I have not watched the bet awards or the hip hop awards I used to think artists that won awards really won them now artist get passed over

[@predator9054]

Crowds at the BET awards have been dead for years the performances are not even on par with what the show used to be

[@TCthaCrisis]

Arrogant society. Social media has everyone thinking that THEY are the stars

[@mochimochi7669]

All those times I watched Community I had such a big crush on Donald Glover. Now seeing all that he’s done outside of TV makes me admire him even more.
