Powerful video. A MUST see.
The contrast between the 3 different lives, yet the reality that they all end at the same conclusion was definitely thought provoking. Addtionally, the repetition of the chorus, “take a look at my face” definitley had timely metaphoric implications. When someone looks at you they do see skin color (no matter what they may say) and then the use of children to illustrate the effects racial discrimination has on the next generation was great visual imaging.
Awesome message, I hope this gets air play and everyone realizes that all lives matter no matter the race, slavery has been abolished yet racism is very much alive sadly.
I think these guys have mad skill. But i dont agree with this message cops dont kill people because of there race. They where not there at the time of the incedance where a black man was killed by a white cop. We have no idea what happend to lead up to the shootings. White cops are killed every day trying to keep you guys safe and you should have more respect to the men that are ate willing to put there lives on the line to keep you ykur parants brothers sisters kids husbands and wifes..
The video is not saying cops kill because of race, it is stating there is injustice toward men of color, and cops do get off. Google Ryan Giroux, he kills one, and wounds 5 and gets tased, while Martese Johnson––an honor student, gets bloodied and in need of 10 stitches for an alleged fake ID, just to name the recent ones. The discrepancies and injustices abound. That is the point of the lyrics and the video.
