Childish Gambino, aka Donald Glover, released a new music video called “This is America” and fans are torn. He placed a lot of symbolism into one video that represents America, including gun violence, media distraction, everything being recorded and uploaded to social media, kids following every move celebrities make, and more! And some of Twitter is here for it:

(Yes, I know you’ve probably already seen it… but…) “This is America” by the GENIUS @DonaldGlover is one of the most moving, disturbing and beautiful works of art I’ve seen in years… https://t.co/OjNJ6jNeip

Other users were not so entertained:
Gun violence & school shootings are both way down. But I guess that's inconvenient for some & doesn't sell. #ThisIsAmerica https://t.co/MSLaV6GIPU
