Yah, that video was just straight weird because he is so ghetto in the beginning considering the speech he gives at the end. It is like some sort of bipolar propaganda and this boy doesn't realize that he is being used to present this.
There is something very off about the beginning versus the end. He just seems so demonic at first, and the boys are supposed to do a reenactment of the story of Emmett Till. However, Emmett Till was older than these boy's so it is hard to tell that is what he is trying to present. It was also incredibly inappropriate to do something this.
What happened to Emmett Till was horrible, but the only thing that came to mind when I was watching this video is how my teacher used to say that modern rap was just a new way for white supremacists to stereotype black people.
I know there is more to the story, so I don't want to stereotype him for this video, but he looks like he is on drugs throughout the video. Just not a safe, sober person and that is not the person that you want reintroducing what happened to Emmett Till.
