I summarized the hidden meaning th-cam.com/video/PTaL3sMjiIs/w-d-xo.html hope can help
It’s funny how they didn’t care about the shootings and were enjoying the dance moves.
This is exactly what Gambino was referring to.
Chill, Haven't you watched the whole video? They talk about it after the video ends, and most people aren't gonna notice the first time they watch the video.
Exactly! We watched this video in my history class and my teacher was explaining just that. America is using the internet and all these new dances and things as a DISTRACTION. And it is definitely working. Some people don’t even realize the real meaning.
You know what's crazy...I've watched @ least 10 reactions.....everybody so mesmerized by the beat, looks, dance moves turn up eeeehhh....AND NOT THE MESSAGE!!...exact reflection of society!!!
KEVINKEV You didn't get the basics from the 1st view😂
The Watcher yyesssss its been getting me angry and sadddd
The Watcher that was the point he wasaking while youre so worried about the next trend of the next dance or the newest clothes meanwhile it's real shyt happening and we're just not paying attention and this is what the media does distract us from everything
nah not me!
The Watcher not you but the rest of the world is
No disrespect, but this video shows EXACTLY what's going on in our world. The dancing kept being brought up, enjoyed & even mimicked but no one commented on the negatives, until the end.
Complete Chaos Exactly...blinded!
"the whole choir just di - heyyy..."
Its soo sad how all they talked about what his dance right when the choir died.....
chrystal paige the video is alluding to how these guys naturally would react. ..with being distracted and completely missing the point
The choir shooting was referring to the Charleston church shooting done by Dylann Roof, a white man. So I doubt its supposed to be about black people killing other black people. The guns are also handled with care in a cloth, while the bodies are dragged away or left, showing how guns are prioritized over lives. SZA (at the end) said she’s supposed to be the Statue of Liberty watching all the chaos passively. The white horse with the man in black is supposed to represent death. Also the kids seem to be blindly following and copying him, but they’re also the ones to take care of and deal with the mess he’s left like taking and giving him the guns. The pose he does at the begging when he shoots the man in the chair is a Jim Crow pose, a racist caricature done by white men in blackface. I think he was saying get your money black man because black people are told to ignore the issues and just get your money. At the end, he seems to be running away from an all white crowd so i dont know if that was purposeful but i noticed they all looked white.
That was the Jim Crow caricature in the beginning when he shot him.
PhinksJinxs yes!!
Thank you
They didn’t even speak about the things in the background which was the whole point of the video
Exactly
Instead of complaining like a bitch how about you explain the things going on in the background to them
Because there not woke yet
Yeah man it takes some time to realize what's going on in the background. That's the whole point of the video!
Yeah they did! The girl in the yellow hit the nail on the head
You are precisely what this video is making fun of.
How ironically naïve of them.
Y k Y k go ahead, explain. Since you clearly know all the interpretations of this video
Mathias Radenez you can go head and explain as well. We’re here to have a discussion, not just call people out
he is trying to say america is always distracted .. thats why the kids are their dancing ..everybody in america is to busy dancing and partying but they dont pay attention to the background of everything happening around them like in the video the kids are clearly non stop dancing while chaos is going around behind them and this is truly how america is the symbolism is crazy everyone is to busy trying to get lit and party and dance right after tragedys happen listen to his lyrics in the beginning he says " we just tryna party" ....thats how america is everyone is to busy trying to have fun and party ...thats why america will never be great bc evryone is blind to the truth and distracted and at the end he pull out a joint and smokes it and he literally is just reffering to how america acts upon things we just try to numb the pain and get high to forget about these things .. and also at the end the city is abondoned almost looks like it fell apart he is truly trying to show us something with the symbolism and only few can understand it..
Chris deadinside exactly
The music video starts at 2:01 thank me later for saving you from the hysterical laughs
I feel like they didn’t get the message
Urbane Echelon it’s pretty clear to me. The guys is wearing confederate soldier pants, the way he shot the gun at the beginning is a complicated way that was done by the co federate soldiers during ceremonies. See a pattern?
Ethan Zingariello Not that serious, it's their first reaction. No reason too rude about it, I didn't get it either the first time watching it but now I can see what is going on.
dope girl who said anything about being rude ?
« I feel like they didn’t get the message. » that seems pretty chill for an insult or something written with malicious intent
Chelsea Iwuala not all young people, but these guys, especially when on cam, which I don’t really blame them for trying to fit in
Correction the pose he made whilst shooting the guitarist was a Jim Crow pose
A lot of people just think this is just about police brutality,gun laws,racism,and all that stuff. It's more than that. He wouldn't be that narrow like all other rappers it has a deeper meaning.
Dancing represents the media. Shit happens and were mad for a little and it's back to the same stuff,that's why he kills and goes back to dancing. The rioting isn't police brutality,it's ment to show the craziness in America and the media just passing by it. We're distracted and are controlled by the media.whatever they say,believe and do people believe them. Just like guns. The media shows them in bad situations and never touch on good ones. The dancing is a metaphor
He went deep with this,and if ended up great
Tropik Dank the dance is a mix of African dances..voodoo like.
FolloweroftheChristian God you need to stop listening to Alex Jones. I know that dance and it has ZERO to do with voodoo. He's trying to tell u ppl will get distracted by dance moves and not what is going on around them. Just like u, u just focused on a dance move and not the messages in the background
TSEAMEACNATR that was to simulate death. Man on the horse is simulating rupture in the bible. He's saying that we r living in hell and death is happening all around us but yet we r just dancing like its cool
The video "This is America" shook me. It can be interpreted in many ways. Just depending on your personal mind set. For me it's made me really emotional. Literally crying silent tears right now. I do not like when people are being treated differently.. period... It's truly up to us and the younger generations to change the way others act towards racial violence & the treatment of others. In the end I agree with what Taylor said. People see what they want to see. We get distracted very easily. Which is not an excuse.
The dancing emulates Jim Crow... He blends African tribal dance with that of modern hip hop. Dancing throughout is unnatural.. it is symbolic of the push /pull of the artist Gambino being a slave to modern society in which the mindset is to "Get yo Money Black Man".
The color Maroon is symbolic to the group of slaves that escaped and blended into the indigenous Americas, but have they truly been freed? It is highlighted in the chair the guitarist is sitting on.. the rag to hide the gun, sashes on the choirs singers and across the background wall.
The shooting references the Charleston shooting in which just like Gambino depicts, the shooter enters the church... seemingly interested in the message... and then shoots.
Gambino is the leader that is used to entertain you, distract you, influence your mainframe away from the truth, the chaos.
Children in the uniforms are his followers, going along with and mimicking his every move. They're caught up in dance, social media, AND other tools to distract you.
There's a car burning indicating a fire - the second sign in the Bible referencing near End times. Thus Death comes riding by in the Pale White Horse. But who cares right? GET YOUR MONEY BLACK MAN...focus is on money, cars, girls hence the ending of the song. But it all catches up...Gambino runs trying to escape from the brutal reality he didn't recognize or didn't care to. I'm sure there's more symbolism and referencing. Gambino = GENIUS
i watch a lot of reactions....to any song...the more i watch this video the bigger the lump in my throat gets. gambino is way ahead of his time.
Gambino is speaking to Black Americans.
We're dancing & chasing money while chaos is all around us. In the end we'll be running for our lives.
keef davis ohhhhh this is a good comment!! 🔥
keef davis that’s a thesis statement right there lol
Right.
I don't think so. Black people already know everything that's in this video. Every single reaction I've seen from Black viewers, they get it right away. This is more like a picture of how he sees his place in American culture - he's just looking around and seeing that the music and dance and drama he does so well are being used to wash over the insane environment we live in, and covering up the chaos and suffering that ironically generated the art.
Toastrodamus , I'm on board with your assesment. Yet it seems so many do not recognise there own portrait
Girls did an awesome job analyzing. very intelligent!
Guy gets shot...... straight back to dancing.
black gay antifa so just bc we want ya to stop dancing and getting distracted we are tearinn the black community apart ???? Your clearly oblivious
I'm glad all of ya'll get it. There was alot going on in the background but the dancing is just too lit that we got distracted. I had to watch it a few times again. Great reaction btw.
I noticed having seen many reactions to this video, those reacting from a country other than America seem to get the message way faster and don't get distracted by the background as much, perhaps it's easier to see the battle when you aren't in the trench, perhaps we are less desensitized to mass shootings. It's upsetting to see how many are initially shocked by the shootings in America, like in real life, and are smiling and bouncing to the music a few seconds later, like in real life. Glover helped pull back the curtain on the real America by revealing that he and his industry are in fact that curtain; it's really important to see the foreground, but always pay more attention to the background.
Glover really has created a gem here, that sadly, has aged very well.
The verse "Hundred bands, hundred bands, hundred bands, Contraband, contraband, contraband" while the children were dancing around him, I believe is a reference to todays music and our children. "Hundred bands, hundred bands, hundred bands, Contraband, contraband, contraband" References Lil Pumps Gucci Gang, as well as that genre of music. He and other "rappers/artists" (I use those terms very loosely) put out a bunch of mindless, repetitive, meaningless "music", glamorising, glorifying, and infecting our youths. Musically lobotomising them, selling them a false image, making them belive in a pipe dream, and pushing them to go live (or at least try to live) that lifestyle that they (the "rappers") themselves did not. Only for it to end in the death and destruction of our youth, who are our future. They don't care though, as long as they're getting paid.
I like how with the choir scene, he enteres the room using democracy backdoor (red and white stripes), like a fox in a hen house or a wolf among the flock of sheeps and let the slaughter begin.
I think I like the way that one woman in the yellow shirt analyze this video
Confederate soldier pants! Donald is a genius! I hope the messages reach us all! We all gotta be woke! We gotta have each others backs, we gotta love more!
Jeremy Betancourt totally agree with this!
The White horse represents the Pale Horse That one of the 4 Horseman, Death rides on.
This video was basically about how many people try to give a picture of America as a beautiful safe place where dreams are made, while actually distracting us from the dark things happening in the background, like in that video...
oh really? who created gun laws? (even though i will disagree with you a little bit on this)who enabled those Africans to come to the country and wield guns? its not an immigrant problem, its an American problem and an American fore fathers problem...
yall give me hope for the future. 😁
I'm sad you guys missed the point of the video.
majornewb Exactly
You guys are a great example about this music video, sad.
Dank Brax thank you 😊🤗
Dank Brax that’s great 👍🏽
Hey Dank this video is about EVERYONE in America. The video is supposed to distract you at first and then you start to realize there is more going on. The only thing sad is you wasting your time writing troll like negative comments when you could be having a great conversation contributing here with the rest of your brothers and sisters on this planet.
Copulaxoxi Ranbooi I like your response 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@KEVINKEV
That’s not a good thing lmfao
Kudos to the young lady in yellow at the 7:00 mark. That was a unique interpretation that our vision of America may not relate to other culture's vision.
I like the analysis and your interpretation, but I don’t think he was running from anyone 🤔 look again in the background is he running from them or are they all running from the same thing 👀👀👀 we’re all running from something 🤔🤔🤔
AK Reach reality maybe
I've been waiting ayyyyy let's goooooo
How ironic this reaction is...
How ironic is your comment? Judging them because you don't think they "got it"? Let it sink in man! Instead of writing a negative comment how about being on our side writing something positive? Contribute to the conversation. That's the biggest message of all!
Seeing your reaction to viewing Childish Gambino's video "THIS IS AMERICA" was very enjoyable and refreshing. knowing that all of you Young African American Millenials are the Leaders of the "NEXT" Generation and are very Intelligent people. I absolutely enjoyed seeing how knowledgeable and the deepth of Tia's perspective understanding the HIDDEN MESSAGES (DOUBLE ENTANDRA).
She is right about how they use our own culture and entertainers against us to distract us from what is being done to us to keep us from fully maturing and developing strong families and communities for us to thrive and consistently prosper as a people.
ONE. PEACE.
Y’all should do more videos with them! They so beautiful 😍!
After watchin a few of these reactions...
The woman in the yellow shirt(recognizing the ending scene) FINALLY said it....."This is our life..."
the dance he did firs was jim corws law
The old cars, the old clothes, we're still living in the past, still making the same mistakes, just in new ways. We let the people in charge distract us and let the circle of Violence continue over and over, this isn't a race thing, if people worked that out and knew its only about social class and money people at the top would lose their power.
They want Blacks and Whites (racism)to fight, they want Men and Women to fight (Feminism) so they can hide the only way to unlock our struggle which is the Rich Vs the Poor.
Get your money black man is an Ironic statement, he is saying you value money above life.
Also he is saying it while dancing on top of the past, Which is symbolizing he in control your past and your future.
Daniel Jones what “leaders” are doing that, this reaction just goes to show that racism is still around, not just because of politicians, but because of some people like you just watched. Go back to the reference to the Charleston shooting part, notice that they laugh. And the citizens do not care enough to actually realize critical issues. Then those stupid fucks wanna bring up that they were a part of the African slave culture, when they’ve never experienced something like that, they have no right to speak about it. (Dumbed down): Black on Black crime is simply not portrayed as racist, and it’s ignored. Then other races pop into the storyline, it becomes a huge ordeal. So if you think that for a second, race should never be a factor to crime like this. You have a very small mindset, and if you think racism can end with people like this on the earth, you’re surely wrong.
First comment. Those girls are very pretty 😍
Yup we going through alot and and it's not going to get better if we dont stand together.. we can't hope and pray for others to change what we going thru. We got to change whats better for us on our own
So true change starts from you 🤍
Your reality is the dancers. Seen by how you kept grooving to the music without much flinching to the violence going around. That is America
It's more young blacks aware than I originally thought, that means you guys have to carry the flag now and don't retreat for nothing
The pause at 4:43 is 17 seconds and long and represents the 17 lives lost in the Florida school shooting
Also when the White horse (Death) ran by.. The reason he was still and quiet as everyone ran what's because everybody died, including him, stuck in the last pose he was in... Which is why you hear the screaming in the background and the shooting..
When he quietly pulled out the blunt (called a Whiteboy back in the days), it was actually his soul leaving his body, which is why when he walk to the car, the dead person who was shot was still playing the guitar, the chaos in the back stop, and his soul continue to dance..
The woman on the car was actually mortal, she was the queen of life (she births the living) its why her hair flowed, and the top of her hair was formed as a crown .. because she can see life and death, AKA spirits..
Also most of the things you see is tooken from africa.. the uniforms, the dancing, the kids, the music in the beginning..
Because Africans govenment is going through the same thing we are going through..
Theres a LOT of messages in this video you cant see.. And if you're not up to date with whats going on in America AND Africa.. then theres alot of things you'll miss..
P.S. Anyone notice the White Chicken looking 1 way and Brown chicken looking the other??
The White guy getting thrown over the balcony?
The people with cells on their hand recording, but didn't say anything because their mouth was covered my a white rag?
The way the guns was handled?
That's how you know this video also connect with Africa... when you see the part where he shoots up the church (which happened in america) the he used was a AK-47.. which is majority used... In Africaaaa... hints why he said " this is Guerrilla War"..
I love when the girls go (heeeyyy) then their face totally changed like.
he is trying to say america is always distracted and i think he only put black people in this vid bc its more of the black community who are dancing and getting distracted bc we cant lie the black community is a big part of the hiphop culture which is why its most blacks and hiphop is literally taken over the youth which is why gambino is depicting this in the video how it is and for your eyes to see how it is ...always tryna follow the latest trend.. thats why the kids are their dancing with him ..everybody in america is to busy dancing, idolizing these people ..when really they should be trying to change the world we arent really paying attention to the background of everything happening around us like in the video the kids are clearly non stop dancing while chaos is going around behind them and this is truly how its been the symbolism is crazy .. listen to his lyrics in the beginning he says " we just tryna party" ....thats how everyones mentality is nowadays to busy trying to have too much fun ...thats why america will never be great bc evryone is blind to the truth and distracted and at the end he pull out a joint and smokes it and he literally is just reffering to how america acts upon things we just try to numb the pain and get high to forget about these things .. and also at the end the city is abondoned almost looks like it fell apart he is truly trying to show us something with the symbolism and only few can understand it..
Chris deadinside hiphop is black culture🙄
black gay antifa this is why people are racist towards black people smh .. you get what you give lol.. in other words what goes around comes back around and its so hypocritical to not wanna be a hated race yet ya are racist yourselves.. truth hurts but you can stay mad lmaooo
Alguém me leva para a Coréia do sul exactly my point
Alguém me leva para a Coréia do sul which is why its most of the black community just dancing and being distracted
black gay antifa and no ones tearing down the black community ya tearing eachother apart by being ignorant to the truth your ignorance passes on to your own kind and your the reason the black people are being hated on alot of ya act that same way its sad that other black people gotta suffer bc of your fucking ignorance smh.. the truth hurts and thats why ya get offended and your people will never evolve if you keep it up with that mentality, people just tryna tell you the truth and ya choose to get offended then to take it in and face the facts if anything white people and blacks are the most racist people and ur comment proves my point I could’ve came off in a very racist way but i didnt instead im just speaking general facts bc im just saying what i see and experience around Me and this vid clearly depicts the truth and im right that ya rather just choose to get offended bc thats the only way ya react ya dont wanna stop and think about reality
great reaction 👏🏼
A message of the video is that the guns handled so carefully more so than the human being. Guns are treated more important. The moves and faces he does in the beginning are of Jim Crowe an actor in the 50-60s who used to dress up as black face and portray what he thought were actions of black people. The horse in the background was “Death” riding around (1 of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse) Sza was lady liberty, the dancing is the media distracting from the real issues and chaos that goes on in the world. Black culture is often celebrated when we can entertain but black culture and lives are not cared for as much when there are killings, police brutality, etc. Just a few things I got from the video. Have watched in at least 20 times and will keep watching
Go back to 4:10 to about 4:15 and look in the background!! I don't know if you noticed it but make sure to look again!!!
When he shot the guy in beginning he did the same stance as "Jim Crow" and when he shot the choir it represented the Charleston shooting.
Ariel Hicks damnnnnnn!!! Jim Crow!! Y’all know your stuff
KEVINKEV PFF there's more. The celebrities represented Jim Crow. You saw the kids that were dancing were doing exactly what Childish Gambino was doing. Celebs were distractions. That's why Sza was there. Also notice after shoots a black person he carefully puts the gun in a "cloth" putting much care into the gun, showing the gun is more delicate than the people who got shot.
Death is riding a white horse symbolizes the apocalypse
Lit!!!!😂❤
Oml they beautiful tho,jus subed them😍✋
That’s the whole point, he was showing you the shootings and all the dancing distracted you, that’s what people today today and the news.
Good reaction, smart sistas. New subscriber. I’m still kinda surprised that nobody out of all the channels and reactions I saw, including this one missed the main message. And who Donald was speaking to.
One of thee deepest videos since 89s, self destruction.
When everyone runs away from him there’s 17 seconds of silence for the Florida shooting
Taylor very good analysis, I saw the your wheels turning when the video was ending... I saw this video so many times and when you said there was no other races in the video because it's our reality, I was like "wow" that was profound!! All the times I've seen it I didn't even peep that!!
I see what you did with the REACTION at the end to get more views😂😂 smart
The girl in the yellow really put it in a new perspective.. she’s very smart I like her :) and I’ll add that I’ve watched at least 20 of these reactions and this is the one that made the most sense.. and the reactions I watched were from all different perspectives
The entire choir died i.e. the Charleston Chruch shootings.
Есть в них что-то первобытное, что-то животное, то, что мы давно потеряли, поэтому они сильнее. Белые чувствуют это и боятся (Брат 2)
This was a very powerful video in an attempt to make Americans more aware of what's happening to black people. Guns are valued more than human lives, the sack over the guy's head is essentially a nobody to people, the dancing distracting you, the choir shot reminiscent to dylann roof killing those church members, the white horse etc.
Ti (with the yellow shirt 👚) aww honey.. you looked confused, like wait... what? I admire your reaction though😊 and analysis
These black young people should be given props for there quiet observance of the events and then coming up with a somewhat logical conclusion of the events they witnessed. You young black young adults make me proud by showing intelligence as well as calmness in there evaluation of the video. Too many times our black youths a mired in vulgarity and ignorant verbiage. These young people here are truly what our youths should immulate.
Did anyone see the person who go run over by the car who was laying on the floor??? Way more happened then what was caught.
Aye you the dude that’s always on the rockets Snapchat right? Lol 🚀🏆
Diego Ortiz let’s go!!!!! 🚀🚀
when death rode by on his white horse, everyone died, that's why the man that got shot in the beginning of the video reappears... he's in hell at the end and finally realizes and tries to run, but it's too late...
Great message.
Yes guys... THIS IS AMERICA
The way the room went silent.
T & T were paying attention good job ladies. Most people watched and only saw dancing im glad you weren't distracted.
white horse = death
Vernon Hector ohhhhhhhh
Shoutout Kendrick Lamar and TDE for the black panther and waking me up to the 12 Chosen Lost Tribes... I pray these kids stay woke and keep safe in this world 💯
LMAO can we just appreciate "Selena Gomez - Love You Like a Love Song" playing in the background 4:43
Gambino definitely caught y’all slipping up.
It's in Apocalypse, Death rides a pale horse.
Next time you watch it watch the gun
He said look I slick it um it
love u rockin that texans jersey. ANDRE J
next time make sure there aren't any background noises. ruined the experience watching u guys for the first time 4 me
in addition to them listening to the video, there's other music playing in the background. They couldn't find a quiet place to make this youtube clip?
Notification squad 🔥🔥
Srinna Reyes ❤️❤️❤️ love you
Love you Guys too 😘❤️
Srinna Reyes aayeeee noti squaddddd
All cool Killkev8 I never had a date either. Plan on changing that this summer though
charles chase you will. We believe in you !! 🔥
KEVINKEV Thanks best to you too
Dang the brothers are not saying anything. Just uh huh and yeah.
Catherine Kemp 😂😂 sometimes it’s better to just listen ! Life lesson
Excelente video gente, un abrazo grande desde Uruguay.
I'm sorry but the girl in the middle made me instantly think of girl from black panther.
The girl on the right I think she noticed the suicide by the one guy and I have watched like 30 reactions to it so far and she is the only that has noticed it the first go around. I didnt noticed till later even myself. Im my opinion, it represents that no one notices the suicide until its to late. Deep shit.
The girl in yellow got it.... the other three are the types Gambino is talking about... and the guy on the left is the type of guy who would dance through slavery happily..... Jeez! am not surprised why the situation has come to this!!
Bobby H smd Bobby 😊 you not even black
This is colombia hahahahaha ,saludos
This is America 😂😂damn man
At the end of the video you see is a black man and a black woman he on the car she's sitting down and when they're running at the end if you didn't notice she's in the corner running away from the people he's a head but she is also being chased by the people the man is what we call them in the black community
This should be called “Big Sean & friends” react
3:20 someone shoots outside of the cafe.
They fell for the video
in a society where if you want to be accepted you must be what you are not
also being a black man who does ballet and that is racist on their people, this leads to be something you're not and in theory be almost schizophrenic and if you're part of this homologation of people who are part of this society come "chased" as if I were a criminal
homologation, schizophrenia, racism in my opinion these are the themes of the video
such beautiful girls.
Haha love this
React to Joyner Lucas- Im not Racist
You all were detracted. This is of our past and present. There are so many messages in this video. The beginning till the end are messages. The guy in the beginning is Travon Martin's dad, and you see what happened to that. The building was white and bland, and that focuses on the White House surrounding chaos, also the dancing symbolizes so many Americans who are detracted from the chaos as well. So many messages. Another is when he states that there are guns in my area and I have to carry one or he's a goner. That's a message. Important officials don't understand that nor do they care.
