Korean Friends React to "This is America" by Childish Gambino

Ойын-сауық

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.

    To be fair, it is a right waaaaay near the top of our constitution. It's about as integral as not having nobility or trial by jury, you can't exactly get rid of it easily by design. People also see it as an affront to their personal security from both the common man and the government itself (like they did at the start of the nation which is by definition treason but don't mention that part). Guns are ingrained into the American identity as much as dirt roads, trucks, and denim jeans. The gun issue is extremely simplified by the proponents of those in favor of control in my opinion. It's easy to forget that a VAST amount of people hold these values and vote accordingly. So, unless you have a way to take care of their concerns, AND convince people to turn over their property that they invested hundreds if not thousands into in exchange for a thanks and a pat on the back, get used to talking about it. Because what you have is what we call in the sales business, a slap in the face. I'm not even pro gun, but to expect legitimate gun owners to roll over and take responsibility for acts they aren't responsible for is a bit laughable.

    Wait what? She didn't change her mind about the race at all, just how she thought Glover represented blacks in America. She was essentially spoon fed what to think by the hosts, and accepted literally every position given to her. She came in not overtly racist and left not overtly racist but with a catchy song stuck in her head. The interpreter could have made up stuff about Glover shining a light on "negro agression" and gun obsession; they still would've eaten it up, seeing Glover's "brave performance" as whistleblowing on a toxic culture. It's nice that she's slightly more knowledgeable and sympathetic to the African-American's struggles, but it had absolutely 0 to do with her, or any of the Korean guests for that matter. Changing the hearts and minds of bigots or the indifferent is hard and justified work, but this video sure as hell isn't that. I've seen 6 year olds who've just been given toys act as a more critical audience.

My skin color doesn't automatically make others suspicious of my intentions. I don't worry about being shot if I'm pulled over for having a tail light out. My comment above was one of compassion and sorrow. I know personally how hard it is just to make a living and get by. People of color face that same struggle, only it is amplified and many times worse for them because they face racism that presents in systemic and/or personal ways every day. The burden is on white people to undo the oppression our ancestors began and created, because we're the ones who have benefited from it. And the burden is absolutely on white people to educate themselves about racism and privilege, and practice compassion toward black people more, because you can't expect a person to give a shit that you broke your nail while that person is bleeding to death on the pavement.

    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.

    Many people rather hide in a sense of false safety and imagined perfection instead of facing the ugly truth that is right in front of their eyes. And Childish Gambino isnt having any of that, he will show you that ugly truth, if you like it or not, and that is why he is such an important musician, artist and performer to me. I'm a white guy so i have never had to face what the African American, Asian, Latino and Muslim community have to face every single day of their lives, but that doesnt stop me from seeing it, hating it and wanting to do something about it because in the end.. we're all born under the same moon, on the same earth and we all share the same blood, we're brothers and sisters ... all of us. In a way i do have faced a minor form of racism against me as well, from other white and colored people because i always refused to conform to their views, demands and demeanor. My friends are of all walks of life, and that has given me some backlash over the years when i went out with African or Asian friends, Latino or Muslim friends as if its not allowed to hang out together and respect eachother for who we are. I am blessed tho, being born in the Netherlands we have nothing of the levels of racism you still see today in the USA, but even my little country has its fair share of bigots sadly and to me that is a huge problem, ESPECIALLY being Dutch.. a nation that traveled the world, conquered parts of it and traded with the rest of it, you'd think we would be more openminded but sadly... a certain percentage of "my" people are just as racist as you can get anywhere in the world. (but i do stick to my believes that if you are of color, and need a new safe place to live... you cant be much better of than living in the Netherlands, most people here do care about equality, and sadly some dont...but thats the minority voice here and they often will pay for their bigotry with the help of anti-racism laws and in some cases, facing court. so we do not tread lightly on this subject here.(And i certainly dont! i live by these words, Among millions of good people, you will always find an asshole or two, regardless of color, religion or background, judge the person on his or her actions, not on their color, creed or religion)

There've been 28,420 gun violence incidents so far this year, leading to 7,074 deaths and 13,438 injuries. excluding the most common natural causes of death and various kinds of accidents and means of self-harm, guns are the single most likely reason for you to die in the USA. I sure hope you or someone you love doesn't end up being shot next.

    ITHEREONETHATHASNT woah there dude. Okay well first off when is the last time, on the news, you saw a black person SHOOT AND KILL ANOTHER BLACK PERSON and then RANDOMLY BLAME guns and white police. That makes no fucking sense whatsoever so I’m not even sure what your point was there man. Usually when white police are blamed, there is an ACTUAL white cop INVOLVED smart ass. And no one is asking for you to feel bad. Sure, African Americans have it better in America opposed to anywhere else, but you are looking at a standpoint of comparing lives of Africans/Blacks in other countries to lives of Africans/Blacks here. That’s great and all... they get paid well here, and don’t suffer from diseases 24/7 so that’s peachy I guess. But you also need to focus on what they go through solely as a people. and you need to not just scratch the surface with that salary and materialist bullshit. Blacks will never be 100% looked at, the same way a white man would be. Point blank. And that’s just beyond color.

    One of the more difficult issues in this, which I don't think people unfamiliar with the US can easily understand, is that the discrimination of black people is not the failure to notice, as one of the men said "people of different countries should work together" Black people in the US, by and large, were not willingly taken there but have integrated and shaped the society they live in. They are not foreigners, they are as American as the white people and other people of color that live there; but they have been given a lower status and a significant amount of people in power act very deliberately towards keeping this distinct inequality alive. For every law made to allow black people an equal chance in society there is also, always, legislation (take gerrymandering) that is deliberately written to counteract that law. There is a real and actual struggle and it's important to note that your parents themselves likely grew up in a world where the US not covertly but openly argued against the humanity of people with dark skin. It's not xenophobia, these people have been living in America for centuries, it's straight up racism.

    The effects of slavery and segregation still run deep. Biased laws against black people didn't allow the same economic opportunities as white Americans. Sure, America is a place where you can do anything you want if you take the right risks and are determined about it. But that's kinda hard when the system is against you. It's only now recently that a growing number of millionaires are becoming black. I'm sure after a couple more generations after segregation is left behind, things will get better for all citizens in America.

    It's our right to have a guns. The reason why is in case if the government goes against the people or tries to use the military to force the people to do something they don't want to (which has happened in history before) then the people will have something to protect themselves with. The military and police have indeed gone against citizens before in that way. Even in modern times in 1985 the MOVE bombing happened in West Philadelphia where police were shooting at citizens until a bomb was finally dropped onto a wealthy African-American neighbourhood. The bombing resulted in the killing of many people including women and children. That was not the first nor last time an African-American neighbourhood-especially a wealthy one-was burned to the ground like that.

    I'm all for guns and it is most certainly a right, but the possibility of a tyrannical rule, and the fear that follows it is such an outdated rule and an extremely strict with the overarching theme of the constitution that it *changes with time* . The government has too much depth to fall into any form of martial law, and the likelihood of a foreign nation even touching foot on American soil is so far beyond impossible, the idea itself needs to die. The 2nd amendment was not added for means to overthrow the established government. The example you gave is truly evil, no doubt, but the issue is that no amount of guns is going to protect you from a professional military if ordered to do something awry. There are other mechanisms in place to prevent martial law from occurring, the 2nd amendment is not one of those mechanisms (especially today), unfortunately with the philadelphian fire bombings, no one gave enough shits because they were black. And unless all 535 ELECTED congressmen, the president, the entirety of the supreme court, and every officer, soldier, and agent lose their humanity and gain a hivemind, the last thing you need to be prepared for is martial law because that's absurdly ridiculous.

    It's not the gun. I mean it is, but not in the way you might thing. it's that the gun is property. And Americans regard property - ownership - as the most important thing in their life. What you own, what you possess, the THINGS and OBJECTS you surround yourself with are the pinnacle of existence. People have literally sacrifices their own lives in order to protect stuff. just stuff, things they own. The gun is elevated, as a symbol of power over others through force - but it shares that sort of space with jewelry and expensive clothing, as property that demonstrates power over others by wealth, or the car, which demonstrates power AWAY from others. Americans regard all property as inherently sacred, but yes, some moreso than others. The cult of property, and the attendant adherence to status and displays of power is the core of most of our social ills. From gun violence - your ownership of a gun is literally more important than someone's right to exist - to our health care and edication problems (After all, if you have the platinum plan from an expensive insurance company, won't you lose status if health care becomes universal?) And yes, it ties into our racial problems as well... because Americna perception of black people's worth was, from the start, tied to the concept of black people as property. And when that ceased to be the situation, when slavery was abolished... Black people didn't become people. They stayed objects, but ceased to be property - and so, to the American property cult that dominates this country, they became worthless, and the country has treated them as such since.

If I'm not mistaken (this can totally be a misconception, I've never been in the US. Maybe it varies from state to state?) you can just go to a store and buy them. I'm from Latin America and we have gun control, but obviously illegal gun trafficking exists, saying "nobody" has guns would be a lie. However, no one would feel comfortable knowing your neighbor has a gun. Likewise, if someone has a gun that's perceived as dangerous and scary so the owner won't tell anyone.

    It’s absolutely sickening how guns are viewed here. I live in the American south, so there are so many people here who care so much about weaponry. It’s to the point where when I was in drivers ed, my teacher spent a good half hour where instead of talking about driving, he was talking about guns. Not talking, joking. He started by talking about how we live in an open carry state. Anyone can have a gun in their homes/cars/etc. And apparently, if you shoot someone at your house, you can claim they were trespassing and get little to no penalty for murdering them. Then he started joking about how the reason there are feeling mass shootings in my state than in big cities is because in big cities, if someone wants to shoot you they will, but where I live, if someone tries to shoot you you can just get your own gun and start shooting at them instead. The fact that he was not only joking about shootings, but was also saying living in an open carry state is safer bc everyone has guns, is absolutely crazy to me. And that was in a driving class! It wasn’t relevant at all! It seems like every day there’s a new shooting on the news, and will the fast pace of the media, people never seem to care for more than a week. As a student, I should be scared about my French tests, not of the possibility of getting murdered! When I become a legal adult, I really just want to a more northern state or out of America entirely. I understand running from problems isn’t the way to go, but I can’t deal with this. People are scared. Kids are scared. I live in a relatively good, safe neighborhood, and I’m fucking terrified that any second i’ll be raped or murdered because nothing is fucking regulated here. I wish anyone in politics today could just realize what that one woman did- people’s lives should be valued more than a gun. It’s such a simple concept, yet here we are.

And were also one of the most violent areas. In my opinion, it’s kind of like how when there’s a rule, people immediately want to break it. Gun regulation isn’t changing violence. It’s just encouraging it, because now the only people who have guns are criminals who already use the black market. No one else can get guns. No one can defend themselves. Shooters actually target buildings with “no gun allowed” signs because they know they will get no resistance. I feel that gun restrictions are actually hurtful. That’s why for the most part shootings happen in urban areas and urban states.

I used to think about returning there some time in the future, but every day that passes I want to stay as far away as possible. I would not feel safe (there was a mad-man-with-a-gun alert in my school once). I would not feel adecuate (since I would be a foreigner). US healthcare sucks (my mom has had two liver transplants in her life here in Spain, and if it weren't for our universal healthcare that meant she didn't have to pay a dime for the operations, she would've died decades ago, or definitely be bankrupt and died anyway). So no. I doubt ANYBODY outside the US thinks it's the best country in the world. It's simply a very rich country, and one that has been very publicized to be the "land of oportunity". We get lots and lots of immigration here in Spain as well, and it's always just that Spain is viewed as being easier to live in and be educated than some other countries.

Japan also had an increase in stab related deaths and China... well just try to speak your mind against the government see how that goes. www.dailyherald.com/article/20130127/discuss/701279952/ All the listed accounts of people dying after gun control, if you're too lazy to look it up www.history.com/topics/russia/joseph-stalin www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/armenian-genocide Basically the Holocaust Hitler caused. What I mentioned before about China that is still happening today. They currently spy on citizens and send police after them should they talk negatively about the government. www.history.com/this-day-in-history/tiananmen-square-massacre-takes-place Of course government controlled media are going to spin any narrative they want, like trying to manipulate people into thinking guns are useless against governments. theweek.com/articles/757094/guns-not-save-from-tyranny Not really, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of getting rid of it in the first place. For starters the most obvious reason is actually having a way to fight back many of which didn't have that chance. That's why they were executed in genocide, there's no way of knowing had they been armed maybe not so many would of died. After all citizens outnumber the puppets and manipulated soldiers and there's always the chance they can turn against the government. Especially when (if) they wake up from being manipulated by the government with its manipulation of trying to prioritize the government over the people and family. Even though the government is suppose to be for the people (At least the American government) so why is it saying if there should be a time that the government and the people fight against one another. The soldiers have to side with the government by pledging themselves? I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all *enemies,* foreign and *domestic;* that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that *I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me,* according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." What if the president told you to commit genocide? Like Hitler told his soldiers in WW2?

    Wow thank you for making this. Koreans have a beautiful heart and sensitivity. Because of their innocence of not experiencing such violence. It goes to show that we can live in countries where there is no gun violence. Where they don’t carry guns or care more about guns than human lives. This video was indeed prolix for our times to educate people around the world. Many think America is land of milk and honey but it has violent ends to have gotten there at the forsaking of its people. Americans do not have to accept and live in a world where it’s just the way it is. We are not trees rooted here. We can move. Thank you for your work Mike. Have magical holidays and I wish all Koreans and everyone around the globe a beautiful new year of peace and love. 💖

    I have lived in Turkey when I was a child and now I live in the U.S.A. It's such a bizarre feeling when people say that I live/have lived in a dangerous place. I was talking to a German he told me that he learned how to fight before coming to America, that was the first time I realized that I live in an area other would consider to be scary. I've shot guns before, have been stolen from, got my house broken into and have always been like "Oh it ain't that bad, other people have it worse."; I only realized that some people consider this to be strange at the age of sixteen.

    I subscribed because of this video. I’ve seen and heard of a lot of Koreans say things that shouldn’t be said, but not because they’re trying to insult someone. They simply aren’t usually briefed on what things shouldn’t be said in America and American culture and why. Koreans are literally so sweet, but oftentimes people seemed to think the total opposite because of these honest mistakes they sometimes make. I’m so glad you didn’t just show them the video but explained the message it was trying to send and why it’s so important. Love this so much. We can all me much friendlier to each other when we’re given the opportunity to learn before making judgments. These people were so kind.❤️

    I actually really like the sincerity and honesty that the interviewees had. They clearly realized racism is a problem worldwide and wants to aim for a better society instead of just trying to end one side of racism like how some SJW are. Anyone that wants to truly solve issues is a good person in my book regardless of views. Really glad you tried to be as unbiased as possible. I just hope you teach your friends the grey area of social issues, and how some groups definitely suffer more discrimination than others, and some are more advantaged/privileged, but it's a grey issue. Focusing entirely on black and white issues is what causes extremism from what I've noticed. Either way great job on the video!

    Annonymous5411 Yeah but even though we get our own land, all of the land we inhabited should be considered our land, without the government telling us we only have a certain part of land that is ours. Im surely grateful for free education, and I'm still a high school student, however its hard when you're treated as though you have a disability because of your race and having native workers come up to you in the middle of class asking you about your grades and mental health when you just want to be left alone like everyone else. The thing is black people have more awareness of the discrimination they go through and natives are almost forgotten in that realm. I've had a cousin be shot when he was walking to the corner store to buy some snacks and I guess a man was calling him racist things and that man never got any prison time or any punishment at all. Especially in school when we are learning about First Peoples I see kids laughing at our traditions and it makes me sick. When some of my friends found out I was part native they stopped treating me like I was their friend. I just feel like we need more awareness for our people.
