*YouTube comedienne Nicole Arbour, who got dragged a couple of years ago for a fat-shaming video, decided to put her colonizer “feminist” twist on Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” music video.
You’ll have to scroll down to peep her version, and in the clip above, celebs react to Donald Glover’s latest musical offering.
Just the like original video, Arbour’s “This Is America: (White) Women’s Edit” is also filmed in a warehouse, but her narrative focuses on equal pay and breasts.
As one commenter noted of the parody:
“This is America was special because of its subtlety, and how much thought was put into each part. This video removes all of that to just be a loud declarative statement about something that has little to do with the original, yet somehow they decided the same backdrop that represents a prison, and tried to replicate the South African cultural dance moves that were used for a video about women’s rights.”
The video shows a black woman being hauled off by what appears to be the police, but as noted by The Grapevine, does Nicole really say, “We just want to smile, get a mammy home”?

One Twitter user responded to the gentrification of the video with: “Nicole Arbour’s “This is America” parody is proof white people think black pain & oppression is funny. They’re constantly joking about things they dont experience because they lack empathy. They laugh at our pain & deny our oppression, while stealin our culture for money. #Evil”
Another asked the one question we’re all asking ourselves: “How long until we get the “I don’t care if you’re Black, white, purple, or green we’re all one race the human race” speech.”…?
Meanwhile, Nicole is currently waiting out a storm of criticism over the video, and this is what she had to say to the outraged black women leaving comments on her social media pages:
And then there’s this now deleted comment that she posted, thanks to the savvy Twitter user to shared it:
Because I’m a glutton for punishment, I went to Nicole Arbour’s facebook page.
This is one of her comments in a sea of critical comments from Black women about her video.
