I know I’m late, but I’m sad you looked at this video and saw something offensive instead of something innocent, free, and plain old fun. If it were some white kids, we’d be like, oh. So? But you saw black kids and then saw race.
But then again I feel like we are always putting too much weight on the wrong thing. Examining myself, I had these thoughts – I thought they were in Uganda singing about building a well for the first half of the video.
Shows you how much we need more positive representation of black people in the media. And if these skinny white boys going to do it over some blacks, well hell fine. Let them.
Interracial power.
“Wade in the water, Wade in the water, children, wade in the water, God’s gonna trouble the water.”
