M.I.A. - Born Free

[Reddl1234]

У рыжих нет души

[swpier29]

Oh the irony of watching this video now that NDAA is law 

[Blink182lover99]

will to be destroyed by racism against blacksand other minorities in this country too.

[Blink182lover99]

also the LRA in Uganda is even worse. They storm villages and force family members to watch there mothers and sisters being raped. One man when he was 7, he saw his fathers literally cut into pieces. They even burned a 3 year old girl to death in one case. They defiled what it means to be catholic even though I am not I have no religion this is not what God would want. they massacred ppl of mass proportions that is sick. We are oblivious to what goes on in the world and we need to act now or we

[Blink182lover99]

The government still didn't have the right to do what they did even after sue leaders surrendered. they were tortured and then executed. We are blind to what goes on outside of out countries and it isn't right.

[Blink182lover99]

I watched a different video on the genocide in Sri Lanka. Innocent civilians were being fired on. Hospitals were being fired on and so were no firing zones. The president was telling the country that they were rescuing people. What an amazing lie that was. Women were raped. The soldiers were talking about cutting off their private parts and they filmed executions with their cell phones. The Sri Lankan Government is corrupt. But at the same time the Tamil Tigers were considered.

[jimmydeezzzzzzzzzzzz]

there was a song in this?

[mpan9]

Very strong video, hard to see... but reality is hard to see too.

[dcuitepie]

WAT THE...WAT WAS THISS ABOUT...mind fuck

[dcuitepie]

Gingersss WTH!!!



[JonAndJibsAdventures]

mia is gay fuckin gay idiots they should kill there selfs

[brownnozes]

FUCKING LOVE M.I.A

Like seriously people when have she not made a video base off a real situation, and just twek it a bit for creative purpose...Awesome vid.

[GloomySunset]

Everyone who thinks this is racist or keeps saying "fuck gingers" is missing the point. It's about genocide. You're not supposed to be happy about it, but you're not supposed to pretend it doesn't happen either, because it's happening as we speak.

[LordMetmixer]

6:51 I wished that was Coppercab

[funkybub]

@LordMetmixer coppercab is an actor xD 

[LordMetmixer]

@funkybub Who needs to die

[funkybub]

@LordMetmixer Everytime you watch his videos, he get money. it's all a act my friend

[tiaracarnell]

Wow how sad

[nix231]

Absolutely brilliant!

[Shivvdog]

The sound in the beginning reminds me of slient hill

[fgstbc]

omg this was too much for me

[RasaanGouldbourne]

What Maya does is create powerful imagery to rouse a response

[aliceboyblue]

Even with its message and powerful enough video, I think Im going to take away from the seriousness of it a little just to state a little FYI. Its what I do when I find songs that have sampled from older unknown classics to the world. 70's synth pop duo "Suicides" song "Ghost Rider" was used in the sampling of this song.

[eli11041]

did enyone els not pay atitshon to the song just watcht the video

[lisiejamaica]

this is disturbing

[sohfiahulli]

can someone please explain to me why music videos such as these with a meaning behind it,a deep message and really amazing production and effects don't get recognized? but instead videos like nicki minaj dancing to 'stupid hoe' with horrible effects or half naked women get millions?

[aliceboyblue]

@sohfiahulli Society chooses to ignore truth is all

[EmmeyEdgar]

kid taking 1 in the FACE!

[luckyluckett26]

This video is pure EPIC! I really hope America doesnt let this happen.

We are all born free and created equal.

[jmanchezman]

@luckyluckett26 see we like to belive that but its human nature to feel threatoned by people that arent the same as us and thats when the fight or flight kicks in and when they choose fight this happens or the holocoust and alot of other things around the worled....we can learn to be tolerent but we cant change what is just in you....u can say your not afraid of blacks or mexicans or what ever the truth is if u like it or not you are

[xheadhunterx]

@luckyluckett26 this happens everyday in the usa

[aarkadi4131]

6:51 stongest

[Merveiful]

wow...are we all really born free? this thing we call democracy?

[cervtzz]

cool a music video with a strong message.. that must be a first

[TheViperMo6]

Wadda Fuck is dis All About Fucking Crap dis is Swear Down ! Randoooom ! But Im Into These Sort Of TINGS SO 10/10 M.I.A ! LOL!

[scarlettletter1]

DAFUQ did I just watch?

[twood43]

MIA IS PUNK ROCK!!

[jeffersonsc01]

WOW 8:31 my brain explode!

[keerastar3]

I completely understand this music video!

Guys this what actually happens in sri-lanka!

poor innocent tamil people are being killed like this!

MIA your the only person for the tamils who can speak for us!

Love you" <3

[theblastedfrench]

Does M.I.A. come up with the video ideas herself?

[1290kttyct]

It's funny, a lot of comments are saying how the video was hard to watch...though, there's a warning in the first few seconds! YOU WERE WARNED IT WOULD BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS

[lomaenseii]

This was really hard and disturbing to watch..

[1290kttyct]

@lomaenseii You were warned in the first few seconds of the video

[streetlightpictures1]

Fuck gingers... they have no soul anyway

[Squidboy0207]

Just another stupid video by a dumb bitch who makes terrible music.. yay for us retards who wasted 9 minutes listening to this shit..

[TheHoennChamp]

@Squidboy0207 Your username is squidboy. stfu

[Squidboy0207]

@TheHoennChamp and you love pokemon..what are you like fucking twelve? Or are you a faggot ginger with no soul?..it's one or the other. There is no in the middle gamer fag.

[amanecerespendientes]

@superlovemyhair The girl is asian though.

[superlovemyhair]

secretly MIA is for: Made In Africa.....?

[NellyDeanG]

@superlovemyhair Missing in Action

[babapepsi12]

Looks like this is about turning war into a game. Targets are chosen by a trait (e.g. hair color) and put into a controlled environment (e.g. open field for easy targeting) and then they're forced to run to create a shooting/targeting "challenge". Anyone agree? Or did I totally get it wrong?

[pedrotrin]

@babapepsi12 only thing u got wrong in my opinion is when u put it as TURNING it into a game. I see it as just portraying a sad reality.

[Ruiliano]

Can you tell me who to get out off this planet , please !?

[moliver75]

EZ MEG MI A FRANC VOLT?



[martalar98]

Where are the Weasleys at?

[Hubs00]

crap.

[hondapro377]

Can someone explain to me what the fuck is this about? Why are they randomly assaulting innocent people!?

[Paganismoo]

@hondapro377 innocence is socially relative. u probably have no idea about the world u r living in. for example usa police raid a home n killed the family's dog because the guy had some grams of weed.

[goulaf]

@hondapro377 M.I.A. is from Sri Lanka, a place of extreme unrest. Her songs explore the concept of freedom vs. unrest. The redheads in this video are meant to represent the Tamils in Sri Lanka, who have suffered from genocide for years. They were born that way, and are being murdered innocently for it. The horrific things happening to the people in this video are a reality in some parts of our world. People are blind to what goes on outside of their countries, hence the insensitive comments.

[badavaceodan]

1.18 boooom xD

[Kalyxtia]

hope people will understand the content

[kameena009]

@Kalyxtia pls explain i just dunno wat d fuck happened..is it sumthng like ths hapenin in US

[Kalyxtia]

@kameena009 she is criticising genocide and/or racism (happening in many countries, including the US) by using the irony of "killing gingers" (which as such sounds ridiculous.. and therefore people will pay attention.. as you can see from all the comments the video is receiving).She needed to use a symbol explaining how we humans(governments and individuals)use a feature that is clear to identify and generally not related to whatever the people are doing just to prosecute them and eliminate them

[andypeor]

Lo peor que puedo decir es que me aburre...ha sido una tortura llegar hasta el final. Ni siquiera me han impresionado las escenas de casquería. Si quería el realizador impresionar con escenas de violencia, conmigo no lo ha conseguido.

Desde las escenas de ultra-violencia de Alex DeLarge ya es difícil impresionar

[jackshyt4]

Genocide of the Gingers!!

[butch198678]

This is similar to a movie called PUNISHMENT PARK. For all those people mystified by the video should check out the movie or at least its description on wikipedia.

[packinwood2009]

I'm a nuclear physicist and what the fuck is this?

[diego1331jose]

como pueden permitir un video de este tipo en YouTube con un contenido 100% violente es algo que no deberia ser asi....VIDEO DE MIERDA

[jackshyt4]

@diego1331jose Vai para enferno diego... Seu retardado... o video fala que nao e para pessoas como voce. Vai se ferrar.

[galaticwars]

Wow great video and a great message sent. MIA is only pointing out what so many have turned a blind eye to, and for that I commend her.

[kimmitalks]

@galaticwars Amen.

[halfeatenpoptrt]

i assume this video is about discrimination

[16wo1790]

no female gingers in the world?

[ixSTRAFExi]

@16wo1790 did you not see that awesome part where the little ginger girl got her brains blown out? :3

[16wo1790]

I now want to marry a Ging:)

[cordthatspluggedin]

WHO THE HELL ARE THOSE POLICE OFFICERS!?! im soo confused,,,,,,, this is a horrible video:(:(

[Taeronai]

Great video. I'm seriously afraid for our future, whole of Europe is turning into a police state, and the people is passively accepting it, no one is protesting, no one seems to care.

[megakillerx]

@Taeronai >Rants about Europe turning into a police state.

> Video sets in USA.

LOLWUT?

[aliceboyblue]

@megakillerx The video is set in the US for a purpose of comparing what it would have been like if it were like this here! READ @hondapro377 comment! It clearly illustrates whats happening in the video!

[bettyNH123]

@aliceboyblue I don't think this video is set in the US...I think it's set in the UK.

[FacelessOnlooker]

@megakillerx Its set in the UK, MIA is British you fucking retarded pig-faced inbred.

[megakillerx]

@FacelessOnlooker > claims that it sets in UK.

> Police wears american uniforms.

LOLWUT?

[funkybub]

@FacelessOnlooker Our police don't wear American flags on their uniform. And also, we don't have deserts in the UK.

[aliceboyblue]

@Taeronai Does it remind you of the TRUE BIG BROTHER effect... take note from the story 1984. Its not off from happening.

[thelindgrenator15]

3926 people are gingers

[crazyjay110191]

SICK IN THE HEAD M.I.A

[pooielooie1988]

I feel like people should look at other conflict around the world in connection to this music video.

MIA is Tamil and her father was a political activist during the Sri Lankian Civil war....

war is dumb

prejudice is even dumber

[19nachito87]

this is a wake up call. RISE AGAINST THE POLICE ESTATE and brutality taking place bfore our very eyes or this will be AMERICA in the very near future

[voronge]

welcome to palestine kids

[TheDaisyBubbles]

It takes a special kind of ignorance to not see the meaning of this video.

Anyone that ignorant surely will not grow any additional braincells by us talking to them.

[81sci]

Gingerers?

[AustroSlav]

your a ginger!!!

[HollowCrown1]

M.I.A. You are a true genius

[davesrebmit]

what the fuck is up with these people

[kokonita17]

[kwheeler92]

ODOYLE I GOT A FEELING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS GOIN DOWN

[MrKapash]

C'est du Romain Gravas le clip venant de lui sa m'étonne pas. le clip c'etait pour promouvoir son film " notre jour viendra" avec V.Cassel

[comeone210]

Yall are fucking dumb im sorry. This video is pure genius, but im not gonna spell it out for you. How bout take a few seconds and actually think about the meaning?

Oh and to all the ppl complaining that the video is messed up, it is not directing the racism towards gingers lmao. MIA doesn't hate gingers. You guys crack me up

[dgkplayerjames]

@comeone210 listen niggga mia hates gingers your a fukin ass wipe that cant exept the fact she hates gingers

[iGottakissU]

@dgkplayerjames i made an video about hitler who killed jewish for my historyclass that doesn't mean that i hate jewish

[NOVAXHARPZ]

@comeone210 Well at least i know that people are dumb now im gonnna watch the rest of this and i will probably agree with you at the end

[catchleese]

@comeone210 Gingers aren't a race therefore it would be impossible to direct racism towards them

[senorconejoandres]

@catchleese OMG Captain obvious strikes back.

[ItsBuckful]

@catchleese Thats both untrue and fucking stupid.

[smokingange]

@comeone210 could you please explain coz i really dont get it :)

[g207ganly]

ed sheeran at 2:50?

[whatshername62]

Aw. Not gingers! that would be like half my family!

Round them up for my reverse harem instead.

[ttanaka1]

Does anyone besides me realize the police state we live in these days? kinda makes you wanna support the 2nd amendment....

[RosaurashowDR]

How they killed that child and how another got killed in a underground bomb and pieces were flyin off. Cruelty like legit

[RosaurashowDR]

This video was really disturbing like dont kill people unless they harm yu.

[Siimonnunnu]

[MrCaotico666]

F.U.C.K. man this is fucking great man!

[DEANBEANS1]

[DEANBEANS1]

this shit reminds me of new york in 10 years

[kkeketdu91]

J'aime vraiment pas ce clip. MIA a fait beaucoup mieux que ça !

[riaki12345]

WTF When KILLED THE LITLLE CHILD!! :'((

[MyFairLaser]

Those naked people are regulars from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

[kevlarwhiskey]

Reminds me of this song:  LARD Drug raid at 4 am.

[lechonmutante]

muy bueno!

[JEMxISLANDxCO]

wtf did i just watch?

[jaderobz]

Where is Ed Sheeran in this video?:(

[DJTradOfficial]

they must of had a blast making this

[SuperVF1S1S]

[23trickiedot]

one day we gingas will rise to power and darking the skies forever.

[MrBentheweirdo]

Gingers that got upset over this, MAN UP!!!!

[MrBananaMask]

GOTTA GET RID OF THE GINGERVITIS SOMEHOW!

[00bilz]

The whole synth riff was STOLEN from Suicide. There is a boundary to sampling.

[dougnick781]

OMG...STRONG CENES!! O_o

[MeMyselfAndBey]

Incredible video! love M.I.A!

[Lala101411]

Coppercab

would

be

PISSED

[MCLR1990]

@Lala101411 lol...he is, even though it's obviously the complete opposite of what he thinks it is. This is a video AGAINST hate.

[MrClydekewl]

rip off of rambo with bad special effects...0/10

[muzvit]

@MrClydekewl Whine One One, whats the emergency?

[slugmonay]

If you don't quell the gingers, and keep their ranks low; one day they may rise up.  If I may go on to quote the famous Roman statesman, Scipio Africanus: Rebellionem opprimendam rubra succedere debet.

[TheKeogh77]

this is a fucking disgrace my girlfriend is ginger and i had to comfort her for days because of this!!!!

[chaddiboy]

@punk8534 correction, the director's the genius.

[sexietakenchick]

Ok people really need to stop saying that gingers dont have a soul yes they do who ever the fuck you all heard that from must not be very wise because think about it if gingers didnt have a soul then that probally means that gingers wouldnt go to heaven and theres alot of gingers up there so people need to stfu with the "gingers dont have a soul" shit its old and so 2nd grade

[brotherdan45]

i thought they were suppose to burst into flames when they hit the sun?

[acbhdbvahvflihdkf]

fuck you america

[greenion12]

She's showing how ridiculous genocide and animosity towards a particular group is. All that hate is arbitrarily rooted because it's different from the expected norm. 

[whatsounds]

Maggie Donovan watched this.

[xXxSlayerMKWxXx]

i didn't understand this...

[ZoeHalo]

Bloody hell. Mental.

[lululuv141]

this music video seriously says something. good job MIA. seriously, dont hate it because it shows things that you dont see in your every day lives that are obviously wrong and inhumane. it happens, and its sad. and she does a great job at showing it, too.

[tealerslyrics101]

Ok so 8:30 is just wrong. Btw why are they all gingers this is total crap

[Peshugadepollo]

Poor weasley family

[princetonloveu]

wow this video is so fye get it mia

[dysfunctionalist]

I know Ed Sheeran sucks, but surely this is an extreme reaction?

[chironicdance]

I wonder if she was inspired by "Still Life with Woodpecker -Tom Robbins on choosing Gingers..

The video is very succesfull at conveying the message it aims to give. Made my heart beat faster.

Show it as it is. Well done.

[phianinja13]

poor gingers:P

[MissSapphirea]

i dont care if they had guns of bombs i still beat all they ass... if they ever did that 2 me

[meaninghasnomeaning]

I don't know why there aren't more views on this...this shit is profound and crazy as fuck.

[650Pisces]

@meaninghasnomeaning there was but they took it off utube b/c there was ppl bitching

[matsterness]

GAP. ginger and proud. and i definitly am.

[nasutar]

Close your eyes at 8:30!

[muqqaz]

@nasutar why? to miss the bloodiest part? c´mon man. Don´t worry. It´s not real :D

[nasutar]

@muqqaz It was half a joke :D

[PUNK8534]

MIA is a fucking genius.

[simplyGGG1]
