gambino has music wherein he discusses feeling alienated from "black identity" + people not seeing him as "black enough" basically because he was a well off nerd. people also accused him of "acting white". so, hes thought about black identity. he also has a white wife just sayingpic.twitter.com/sI8uHKqPyK
and now he releases a video called "this is america" wherein a young black man kills a bunch of people for no reason (some of whom are presented as good people) and dances around a crime filled hellscape where everyone is black, before the black mob turns on him hmmmmmmmpic.twitter.com/HsaPKoFJut
seems like the message is pretty obvious. am i missing something herepic.twitter.com/xbNjYwj1rX
I think ur on the right track Owen. Many ppl are reluctant to view the critique of black culture inherent in #ThisIsAmerica symbolism
