Gilroy - In the video, there are different groups of people (choirs, dancers etc). This could be a link to Gilroy's word about the liquidity of culture.

Comments are made about the danger it is for a black person to live in America because of things like the media who reinforce the idea that black people are all criminals that conduct violence and other illegal activities. Most of this news has been twisted to make it sound as if black people are to blame for every incident.
