The lines to what he says are iconic. Being a black designer and approaching this large white mountain like he's about to tackle this white world.
"In this white wilderness" basically a wild world full of white people
The construct of purity is sullied with every step
The evidence I carry. The hidden sun in every breath. My (blackest/ lack of self.) Whose widest death is luxury.
(Like him entering in this world, he will have to lose, purity, himself and much more. And acknowledges that his biggest flaw is vanity and luxury. As that is the industry)
I am no stranger anymore
The world has left me
The snow will melt
the ice will thaw and make it up to me.
( And then it zooms up to show the black ground at the peak) after all the whiteness melts away.
Then he gets to the top and he has airplanes on his buttons. Like slickly saying he didn't have to climb up. An airplane bag. Gets to this space where black people are walking , all wearing different things. Some with the same plane emblem, some with african stuff tied in, some who have their cities on their backs, all walk among a few white who turn and give them dirty looks. And if you notice the white dudes are all walking in the opposite direction from the black dudes. Except this one black guy with blue glasses busy doing his thing. Gave the guy on the ground who making it up to me played as they showed him a dirty look. Also was shown sitting down to get coffee.
He chants the name of all the predecessors and walks in the middle away from the wall where people are getting stuck, falling by the way side until he gets behind the wall where there are several black people who managed to get in. And they are removing from the inside this wall to make it easier to enter.
Then he talks about the good thief. And says I know many good thieves who steal food for their children or their village. And then starts the sequence of exchanging suit cases. Once our good thieves are behind that wall they are exchanging and moving so fast it's hard to know who has what. Life's too fast. Time moves slow
