Because this video just more or less shows all of the American struggle, and the worst times of America.
I thought that at a point, there would be like some "fast forward to today" kind of clip where there would be like more joy, more laughter...ala the "New America".
That is not the case. It's basically just all about the American struggle.

That's what the song is about, the struggle to achieve the American Dream. What you can't seem to grasp is the concept of the video, shows the struggles americans went through, and continue to go through.
All the images show people chasing the American Dream, as well as the symbolism of MLK's funeral, he died yet still inspired a Nation of people to unite for freedom.
It may be dark and tragic at parts, but thats what the chase for the American Dream is hun.
