@@skoopymemes9563 No one gives a shit but ok.

Can you explain what it means? English is not my first language and I don’t understand what this slang means

I caught that!

@@JourneywithMAMAZURI-hb8nr please sir tell me the meaning of

​​@@shazzthedonOkay it could mean multiple things so let me try to make it simple for you. 1. "This a celly" could stand for cellphone. "that's a tool" by that part it cuts to the children using their phones to record everything that's happening. Showing that our cellphones can be used as a tool against crimes like those. 2. Or when teenage black boys would be shot in the past because policemen thought they were holding a gun, when they were really holding a cellphone.. So "this a celly" shows that the boys were just holding a cellphone. But the policeman think "thats a tool" as in gun, knife etc. 3. In the past black people used to be locked in the these big box like cages called celly's "this a celly" and it could be a "tool" because it was used against black people black then for racism purposes. But I think the first 2 make the most sense because when Donald says "this a celly" he literally puts his hands in the shape of a, well, telephone/cellphone. But yeah it's up to you to interprete it the way you will. Hope this helped! :D

@@aestheticbobatea thank you so much sir, very kind of you to explain this. All three of your interpretations are very interesting. Chapeau 👏

Yes. It's called distracting the masses.

So many layers in this video. Notice how each time there is a shooting they take away the gun in a cloth towel softly.

​@@christopherbarnett6841I, too, was on that reddit thread.

@@c-moon8789 metaphors and social commentary is LITERALLY the point of this song and video

define "prevalent justification" Are you talking about the situations where police have been charged with murder? or are you talking about any major cities where armed "black boys" are shooting unarmed "black boys. " And no one is charged.... Damn those white people for buying black people guns.....

You were able to get all of the references and metaphors on only 5 viewings? Bro I’ve seen this close to 100 times and I’m still catching shit

Everyone is gravitating here this week.

America never changed

Unfortunately

I'll drink to that!

Yep.

I Love this song & all involved in its messages! Glover is so deep! 👑🍾

I really wish it didnt

It should be like: Officer: Why do you have a gun? *Person shoots in random pedestrian* Person: This is America

Officer: why do you have a gun? Person: I’m an amer

@Lexiya_x This is Sparta

Well the second amendment was for protection & hunting. People respected & understood that but now 30 or 40 years later, we're lost. I blame music & the media, lack of morals, solid parents & families. Because if guns are the problem, why wasn't there shootings in the 1920's or 1950's outside of petty crimes & the mob? Nobody went on shooting spree's for no reason. What happened?

because hes insane

💀👍🏿

Was that.....not the point

i guess, genuinely wouldn’t listen to this if it didn’t have so much to do with society. song itself is trash, meaning is true and often overlooked.

@@rambino003this song is incredibly catchy, has a bunch of meanings, the music video goes hard, and theres a bunch of artists secretly in it like 21 savage and SZA. literally whats not to like about this song. its fire

You couldn't be wronger

No..? You’re wrong

I think you're right, it's an absolutely impeccable work.

Great observation! Didn't notice that

and i removed my hand from the plates holding my chicken rosting in the hoven. close one.

thats the point of it

Jeff Manes this is America

idk why you're complaining, if someone wasn't careful with the gun someone else could die. the bodies being dragged is inhumane and the metaphor is strong but

Lol

Lol

Lmao

at least you tried .

Lol

It's also red, wink wink republican party.

@@cl570 seriously, pretty democrat, but I vote for whoever I agree with, but that he nothing to do with this. Stop trying to make it about one specific set of people.

@@teopalafox it definitely could be with the red (republican) party protecting their guns for whatever moronic reason they've got

*Yes*

@@teopalafox The message of the video about gun violence is the one you're seeing on the screen. Why else would the cloth be red, why else would they handle the guns more carefully than the bodies?

This is what politicians should be saying. Not that it's un-Ameican. First step towards healing and repairing is admitting the problem.

@@---yx7ti right, interesting to see so many shocked that this happened, when that pass year 2020 trump balanty said he wouldn't give up his power, he said what he was going to do.it just shows to many had their eyes closed.he plotted what he was going to do to our faces ,

Funny how when it's in the name of black lives and racial equality, the curfew is enforced early and with military assistance, but when people literally break into government buildings, popping shots(a woman died btw), in the name of overthrowing a democracy, shit is chill...curfew passed, and they're asking people to please disperse. Letting them stay. This country is fucking trash. I gotta watch innocent black men get shot in the back and killed in my city(Columbus, we definitely have a fucking problem, y'all), but this shit just slides.

@@mike47321 I saw the video where the women died and that's just fucked up

“American Idiot” is also very appropriate

It also has another double-meaning as guns are often referred to as ‘tools’ in a lot of street slang. People have been shot by police for pulling out their cell phones and police “mistake” the phone for a gun. “This a celly-“ is what the person pulling it out would be thinking, “-that’s a tool” is what the cop would be thinking before they shoot.

its also a reference to Stephen Clark who was accused of have a gun and was gunned down is own backyard just to find out her only had his cellphone

or that the victim in question was holding a cell phone that the police "thought was a gun" and then killed them....

The song was made to have fun not about social standings and shit

u do realize that if ur in a cell there is a celly ofc u assume they have a weapon it is jail anything is possible there i been in jail
