Would the video be more acceptable if the people were brown instead of red? Because last I checked, videos of brown people being shot are played on youtube every day. It reminds me of the Matthew McConaughey scene in A Time to Kill, when he persuades the jury to sympathize with a little black girl who was raped-by closing their eyes and imagining that she was white.
MIA is amazing. Powerful Message. Powerful song. “Terrorism is a method,” MIA explains. “Terrorists” are not ALWAYS just evil people. They are the voices of the oppressed, struggling to be heard.
WATCH IT. Very Violent. Very Graphic. Very Real.
