In this remarkable video, which was produced by Fine Brothers Entertainment, a group of racially and gender diverse seniors take a look at the video for Jay-Z‘s “The Story of O.J.” from his recently released 4:44 LP. The video is black and white cartoon and features many historically offensive and racially charged imagery. As expected, most of them seniors to the repeated use of the N-word. However, several understood the issues and approach Jay took in his bars. Our favorite participant, Gracelyn, seemed to really dig in and, by the end, she really appeared to respect the effort and the resulting discussions that have been happening since the video’s release.
Enjoy and let us know what you think.

We expected even more pushback on this video.
