Everyone is talking about "This is America" by Childish Gambino! Even in Korea, people are starting to want to know the meaning behind the video! So, I decided as an Black American to teach my close Korean friends about life as a Black American through this video!

I didn't tell them what it was about before showing, so the reactions are genuine. It was a growing moment for everyone.

i love that he explained the meaning of the mv so that they could actually understand even i didn't fully understand until watching this

The girl in the striped top gave me hope. She thought one way about us based on what she was shown, then she chose to listen and she changed her mind and it’s very hard to change how you see a race based on first impressions. GOD bless you

Background on Childish Gambino: Donald Glover was a well off child growing up and you will see the trend in his songs where he talks about growing up with a silver spoon in his mouth. His parents were Jehovah’s Witnesses who had many foster kids and this caused his life to be very chaotic. Basically he grew up in a well off white community, but while his friends and families around him were kind, there were always standards put on him to be the first to do something wrong. Basically because he is black.
He entered the rap and directing community to express his opinions. He was largely hated by the black and white community for a while because he talked out about white suprematism ideas and black crime. He showed people the truth and they hated it. Over time, as society has advanced, his work has been praised and often seen as very deep. Donald Glover is a very intelligent person as he went to NYU. He is also very kind and respectful, but not afraid to speak out against hateful comments. I would 100% recommend watching some more on him.

In real life I’m jealous of people that have never had to deal with racism and gun violence. I’m tired of it, but I’m black till I die so I don’t have the ability to give up fighting for my life and my rights.

The most surprising thing for me is how this video changed that one woman’s perception of black people, it makes me realize how important representation is. Like they had /no/ idea

When the Korean guy said in the beginning he thought Childish Gambino had a mental illness because he shot the man in the head, lmao. Nah Gambino doesn't have the mental illness, America does. I really loved hearing all Koreans point of view tho, I really enjoy this video.

Thanks so much for making this video! There are even Americans who don't understand how heavy the video is and would rather make memes about it. And there are so many references he made. Childish Gambino is weird, but he's such an artist.

@LindsaytheWaifu 6 years ago

I remember having to rewatch that video over and over again for an english class in college. Theres so much more to the video than we realize. Gun possesion, racial discrimination, blm, privelege, media cover-ups, church and school shootings...its really hard to sum up that video in one concept.

Please ask about "Blackface" in Asia.

@Margar02 8 years ago

Korean people seem really cool. They have their problems there too, like corporate ownership of government, just like the US only maybe a bit farther along in that regard. But it is so cool to see how the internet has allowed us to communicate and share deep things like this. All these people in this video seem like nice, smart, caring individuals.

"But why do they care more about the guns than the people?" me as an american....girl Ive been wondering that since I watched the columbine shit live as a child

@jamesson1154 8 years ago

Their reaction is so honest. Literally have no clue what it’s like here.

@maymay.32 8 years ago

Thankyou so much for making this video! Cause a lot of these youtubers will get these reactions from foreigners and not give them any contexts on what’s actually going on, And what social issue we as black people africans Americans deal with in the United States Thankyou for explaining it like truly thank you.

The lady with the striped shirt got the cruelty even before having everything explained to her. She gets art. This music video gets me every time.

Ouch...

I was waiting for one of them to go, "Is that SZA!?" Because apparently everyone but me knows who SZA is.

Thanks, MiKole, for discussing this topic responsibly...Your channel is one of the few that has. It's so important that people have an open dialogue about this.
