This is an incredibly important art/social statement! Childish Gambino's new video.

On edit: I’ve had exactly two responses to this, both upset at the fact that I didn’t warn people that there is a simulated shooting-two in fact-in the video. It’s not gory and you’ll see FAR worse on television every day. I’m sorry to edit in this warning because it does a great deal to blunt the impact of what I think is an astonishing statement about what it’s like for black people on America. And the demands for not being upset by a fictional depiction of violence underscores the struggle for communication, I think. The conflicts depicted are remarkably complex. With regret, I bow to the request, aware of the desire and ability to turn away.
Original post:
I’ve been waiting to see if it was posted by anyone else because I feel REALLY white doing it, but I’m so amazed by it and the many, MANY reactions coming in that I thought y’all might want a look. It’s so powerful and disturbing and real while managing to be strangely beautiful that I can’t stop thinking about it.
