maybe he was singing along to Freaky Friday

Well he said it twice it seems. The funny thing though is the second time he said it was in discussion with HR about what happened. So he was basically explaining whaat happened in the meeting.

"Well, we were discussing sensitive words, and I brought up 'nicca'"

lol

http://www.itv.com/news/2018-06-23/netflixs-head-of-communications-sacked-over-n-word/

A few days later, in discussion with HR about the incident, he used the term again in front of two black employees, Mr Hastings said.

Based on the official statement given, there is no suggestion of racism. Instead it mentions 'low racial awarness' and 'sensitivity'.

   

 So he basically was working through his initial infringement and the word came out in deliberation of the issue with the people helping him through it.  It's not like he was repeatedly calling people the N-word like the Twitter headlines are reading.  Fucking lol.  This magical word.

Pretty much. It's almost comical. It's like a comedy sketch.

That's a really cool song, and yeah, sounds really similar.

[Nola]

Definitely sounds similar in places, but I was expecting it to be a lot more identical than it ended up being.

That's funny.

It's also probably why you see SJW shows always push the black man with white woman narrative and usually never the other way around. Take a look at season 2 of Handmaid's tale. Any time you see an interracial heterosexual couple it's always a dark guy with a white woman. As if they are trying to force this shit.

i've always loved good looking dark girls but they're harder to find and that's just the truth

Gambino doesn't do the production on his tracks either, that's Ludwig.. so to say it's plagerized would mean that Glover AND Ludwig Goransson both heard the song in the OP and decided to rip it off. Which is quite a stretch. This is America is far more influenced by Trap in general than it is by the song in the OP.

Are music producers like Super PACs or something ?

wow the garbage nola was posting to me is actually ripped from someone else? that's amazing. And this song is much better, actually has some freshness to it without being overproduced for pop culture appeal.

I kinda winced a little bit reading Assimilate's perception of the media version of interracial relationships.  All colors of Voatish 'The Jews Are Behind This'.  And then I looked at this article and it's really exactly the same shit...And the sad truth is, the article kinda won me over.  I can't really say I disagree with what's written here.  I think they really do bias a one-sided brand of inter-racial relationship, and it does seem degrading toward women of color; especially black women.  But the question is:  is it degrading toward white men?  That answer:  Yes, and the Jews will pay for what they've done.

The big sick was a horrible unfunny movie with a terrible lead actor that i still can't understand why people find him remotely funny or appealing. The movie was bizarre as fuck but because of stupid liberal sensibilities it was quickly championed as some type of breakthrough.

And i am spot on in my critique of how media portrays interracial relationships. Seriously, take a look at Handmaid's tale season 2.

Well, similarities in the rap flow. That American Pharaoh song I have to say is a much better version of a similar flow. To be honest, if there weren't some kind of political statement inherent in the video of This Is America who would even care about that song? It's not even lyrically interesting. The words are barely coherent.

I think the point is that it's expressive with very few words.  It's music and it resonates on a fundamental level with some folks, whether you agree personally with the messaging or not.  Like, Eminem's last album is this saccharine preachiness that is much more wordy, but says a lot less to people.
