Thank you! These were exactly my thoughts but you put them so much more eloquently.

So, I guess we should just never reference movies in the 30s, (which was very much an influential/iconic time in Cinema) because there also happened to be a lot of colonialist racist bullshit going on back then?

Real question: What role would black Africans have played on a movie set in colonial-era Africa?

1.) The whole “theme” of the video is that it’s a what 30s/40s movie shoot. Unfortunately, that means black directors or film crew workers would have been non-existant anyway.

There needs to be at least 3 black people in a music video or else it’s racist.
