@bouncy.clementWhat makes Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” video so impressive is how it celebrates other cultures the right way. Instead of borrowing elements, he brought in actual people from those communities to show themselves, and kept his own look minimal so their traditional outfits and dance moves stayed the focus. That’s how you appreciate without appropriating. #MichaelJackson

Michael Jackson is the focus, kneeling in front of a group of men dressed in tribal attire. The men are holding spears and shields, and all have their faces painted. The mood is dramatic and artistic, with a studio backdrop. Michael's white shirt and black pants contrast with the men's elaborate body paint and traditional clothing.
