13. What does Childish Gambino's 'This Is America' video mean?

Childish Gambino's controversial 'This Is America' music video sparked lots of discussion as soon it premiered in May 2018. The rapper appears to shoot multiple people, as well as show off some quirky dance moves. The visuals, directed by Hiro Murai, tackles police brutality, gun violence, media misdirection, and racism, all while dancing in Jim Crow-style caricature. Very powerful!
