Summery
Basically, Childish Gambino enjoys singing and dancing for a whole video while many things happen in his background. As he shots a masked musician guy at the beginning, he is sometimes a part of things happen in his background. At the last tense scene, he and many people run away from something or someone.

Irony
Childish Gambino has black skin actually but act as a white man in this music clip.
Theme
Black music is popular but black men are still discriminated.
Opinion
Everyone except the musician and the gospel choir act as white people but the fact that they are black does not change. This shows that black men can never be white or act like white men. The last scene is their hope that white men recognize that their crimes and feel stressed by what they did. I cannot explain well but I thought these kind of things, watching this music video.
