Although the election of Donald Trump to the US presidency in 2016 prompted a number of musicians to record and release political songs, none of them took the lead in the 34-year-old Glover.

What does the video include?

The success of the video may be due to Glover's strong position on racism, gun violence, consumer society, and the shocking way the video was portrayed.

The video takes four minutes, and begins with the appearance of Glover dancing bare-chested without a shirt, in a large warehouse, singing: "We want to celebrate," and "We just want money."

Glouffre then suddenly shoots a handgun from his back pocket in his pants and kills a masked man sitting on a chair.

"This is America, yes this is America ... guns in my area."

In another clip of the video, Glover kills all members of the Black Caucus in a sequence interpreted by some commentators as referring to the killing of nine black churchgoers by a white supremacist in Charleston, South Carolina.

In several sections of the video, Glover joins school children in their school uniforms, taking part in a narcotic dance, while violence takes place in the background of the video.

The video - directed by Hero Murray - ends with Glover's escape, after we have been terrorized, by a group of rioters who seemed to want to kill him.

Why did the video succeed?

One of the song's producers says the video addresses common things "people feel, and I do not think we were rational or disgruntled as people think." Our goal is to normalize relations with blacks.

The art editor at the BBC, Will Gumbertz, says Glover is a high-level artist and worthy of his work to be exhibited at exhibitions and museums of modern art.

The video is "powerful, as it paints an influential metaphor of America in the 20th century, and this guarantees a place among the iconic works of the United States."

He says the video includes violent passages, not suitable for children, and may be undesirable for some adults. But his theme makes him one of several leading works by contemporary American and black artists.

These include the painting of Kerry James Marshal in 1994 called "Great America," and Arthur Jaffe's seven-minute video entitled "Love is the message, the message is death" in 2016, in which he uses video footage, including photographs of civil rights leaders, And riots in Los Angeles.

Gumbertz says that the video - like other works of art - reveals more to you than it does whenever you see it more.

It also indicates that color is an important element of video.

All the performers are black. The space in which it revolves is mostly white.

Red color is also used in gestures suggestive. It is used for artistic expression first, when we see the guitarist sitting on a red chair to play his music, but he is killed afterwards. The choir sings in joy and a red wall appears behind it, echoing their red tails.
