    One of the most beautiful, painful, honest pieces of art I’ve seen in my entire life. “This is America” encapsulated the Black Experience with song, dance, melody, tone, facial expressions, eyes, shocking violence, humor, beauty, and so much more. https://youtu.be/VYOjWnS4cMY

        I think I've watched #ThisIsAmerica 10 times now. It has so many layers and layers and layers. College courses could be taught on this video. It's art of the highest degree. Thank you @donaldglover and team.

        Live reality art of what we're seeing and talking about on the streets, the White House to the Court House & to the Jail House because Congress won't spend the money wisely on social programs and the School House. Sad shame that this is what it's coming to. 🙄😢😟😩😰😔

        2018's "We are the World" with a drastically different tone. An emotion conjuring masterpiece.

        i see so many people trying to minimize this visual and song to a simple depiction of violence that is gratuitous and unnecessary and im just like, how can you not see the crazy amount of depth the artist is trying to convey. art can be both spectacle and statement thats its peak
