Patrisse Cullors and Lowkey | Studio B: Unscripted

- Опубліковано 10 гру 2019
- In this episode of Studio B: Unscripted, US artist and activist Patrisse Cullors meets British Iraqi rapper and campaigner Lowkey, to talk race, politics, activism and protest.
In 2013, Cullors co-founded the Black Lives Matter activist movement which campaigns against violence and systemic racism. She helped to propagate the cause globally and in 2016 she published her book When They Call You a Terrorist - A Black Lives Matter Memoir - which became a New York Times bestseller.
Lowkey rose to fame in London's underground hip-hop scene, releasing several mixtapes which chronicled the harsh realities of life for many working-class people in the UK. His work also dissects the synergies between the "War on Terror", global imperialism and racism. He is an avid activist as a patron of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the Stop the War coalition.
In this discussion, Cullors and Lowkey share their experiences of activism and protest, dissecting the relations between power and politics in constructing definitions and narratives about those challenging the status quo.

Lowkey is definitely that guy!! super articulate & conscious brotha
Have you listen to his music? It's beautiful stuff
@@itzasweater9621 how is he an idiot?
before you become an activist in your community become ACTIVE in your community
This is the same woman who lives in a mansion in a white neighborhood.
Lowkey the modern day Malcolm X.
Peace and love.
@Crow29Darkness Elaborate. Malcolm X was very clear upon his pilgrimage to Makkah, about his faith and beliefs.
Crow29Darkness
Looks like you have also been fooled by the false history of Islam
Just my view
Hana K
I no
@Crow29Darkness Don't confuse Islam with the Nation of Islam.
The Nation Of Islam is the organization that went against him, not the religion.
When he left them and made the pilgrimage to Mecca, he changed his name and realized "The Real Islam"
@@nothanks8594 Whats to be fooled? It's just christianity but for the arabs (and it was a very sucessfull unifying ideology look what they did, went from being fringe irelevences to the Sassanids and the Romans to being the dominant power. Probably one of the most sucessfull ideologies ever xD). Its as fallible and decieving as any human centric monotheist religion is. But like all faiths, it can give people the strength to go on so hey, dont mock man. Im an athiest but respect for anyone with enough faith to believe in any ideological spirituality.
Has Patrisse collectivised those mansions yet? 😂😂
You know the meaning of collectivized?
@al jazeera English
Thanks for uploading! Is there an uncut version i can watch?
unfortunately, lowkey is a freedom fighter genius who is pretty much censored from every platform that we know of, they've trying to silence him for years. all respect
Much love and respect to this guy! He deserves more publicity
Wait, that's not really you, is it Donald?
@@Extra-dg7uv 😂😂😂
Love the way lowkey talks most people speak after instead he takes his time for people understand every word he is saying
Being sectioned under the mental health act is undoubtedly traumatising and often retraumatising for people and their families. It is an ethical and legal issue that needs continues examination. It is also worth noting that young males of black and ethnic minority groups are more likely to be sectioned. However unfortunately sometimes its a step that needs to be taken to safe guard peoples lives. The fact that Lowkey didn't believe the police had his bothers best interests at heart shows the damage that has been done by years of institutional discrimination which to often leads to the most tragic of consequences
Only akala (fire in the booth 1) can be used as a comparison to lowkey
Thanks for posting
incredible conversation! great intellectual chemistry b/t those two. thank you aj for this and this series.
Intellectual and Patrisse Cullors are opposites.
@Al Jazeera English this is the best programme I've seen so far anywhere on tv. The way both communicate- ask and answer to each other whilst keeping the communication flowing its so mind-boggling lol good innovation
Excellent talk. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Truly appreciate it.
@@itzasweater9621 I stated I appreciated the talk, the dialogue - in essence, connecting Black and Palestinian liberty movements. I did not state any opinions about the hosts and their backgrounds. I don't spend my energy running recon on people. Real estate portfolio...seems pretty stalkerish. You have illuminated more about the kind of person you are than her. A bitter, name calling stalker who spends their time comparing and competing, trying to regulate what is not remotely in their power.
Does anyone know when lowkey mentions a James baldwin quote?
samah he mentions the quote at 14:50
@@tysonmwamba5220 thank u 😊
Thanks Fam

I KNOW THIS NOT THE TIME !!
But !!
low key is sooo handsome ❤

😅😅😅😅
Amazing to listen to lawkey, a healer
Absolutely brilliant and wonderful how much we are doing now and we are mobilising. We are taking steps to perpetuate our mission through our public opinion. It’s making a change. Our voices are being heard. Free Palestine liberation for Palestinians, black people and the indigenous people. I hope we all see a better world.
Are these comments praising the scam artist serious?
From Bradford Uk Lowkey all the way
Great show thanks 👍🏽
Amazing interview and panel. Thank both of you for your courage and compassion on this topic💚
Lowkey ❤️✌️
She thinks her Jill Scott costume is going to make us believe she's not exploiting her own people for $$.
The greed & ego got her by the belt & won't f---king let go.
Capitalism ain't done her NO HARM...:))
Give the money back!

She purposefully did not add that she is a Marxist! Her words.
Great show...!
Absolutely phenomenal. Salutes to these incredible forces of nature
Wow devils got you!

We need to all talk together
We know the truth

Keep up the good fight, much love from Finland
you dummy they hate your guts they are trained marxists!
Terry Walker, you're ignorant and brainwashed by the elite owned media. Read something.
26:13 - Patrisse stiffling a yawn over the next few seconds.
if the West has to be dismantled then imagine what needs to happen to countries like Iraq or Iran
Buy Large Mansions
Victim mentality though.. when black folks, and I'm one btw, advocate this approach, they admit powerlessness. Get into Amos Wilson and Thomas Sowell and accept your own will to change and demand change: yes black lives matter, this program has to operate in every area not just reactionary protest to police brutality. This whole begging and wishing your known enemies, the system and the structure, to change or accommodate you is a pure waste of energy, with no meaningful results.
I think there is a need for both. There is both graft and powerlessness in your approach too as well as what Patrisse advocates.
Ayishat Akanbi is also a great advocate of this approach. I am not black but I really appreciate her stance on this. I recently recommended her to a black friend of mine as someone to check out and she loved her and totally agreed with her ethos. I think she is better role model than Reni Eddo Lodge. You might like Coleman Hughes and John McWhorter as well.
Her brother was a sad situation
youre a woman?..... noooo... really?
Powerful and beautiful.
The correction is comming
18:12 Very True Africans from Africa Needs to Connect with Blacks in Diaspora
Why? For what reason? They are African and the other people are American, French English, German, Jamaican, Cuban or whatever country they were born in. Just because a person shares a similar color does not mean that they share a culture.
Africa is not one big country. If you ask somebody they're going to tell you they are Nigerian, Congolese, South African etc. they're not going to come out and say I'm African. People from Europe don't do that either. They say they're from Germany, France, Italy etc.
Yes LOWKEY, South Afrikan Apartheid EQUALS the answer to Free Palestine 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
"an activist"
"a leader"
"a woman".... Really now? Noooo wayyy thanks for informing us of that
what a snowflake lmao
@@miles4007
snowflake is a word used by sociopaths in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy- John Cleese
@@melchoraslez1689 u have a lack of empathy though
@@melchoraslez1689 how can u use these words when u self dont have any empathy for blacks. And quoting a person who himself is racist is very interesting movs
There are like" 34 genders"so she had to lets us know what she wants us to call her......😏😉🤭
Remember Attica!
What does dismantling the system look like?
AM 78 that's no answer
AM 78 so you don’t have one?
Communism.
The means is outlined in the black agenda 2020 pdf.
BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS POWER
We went through history when we had no law and order,in the states it was called the wild west,and the Uk that was a couple hundred years ago,that's why law and order was brought in and has slowly evolved. Playing the victim all the time gets you no freinds.And if your going to break the laws of the land your going to meet the police.
These people that support blm want special privilege to be above and outside of the law. Download the black agenda 2020 pdf, its really sickening.
It's even more sickening the amount of dummies blindly supported this communist movement.
Exactly and when trump loses the election you have to accept it because the government told you to.
Incredibly well spoken and intelligent, fueled by the passion for truth and justice for the targeted.
Who? The guy? Certainly not the scammer...
Big
Luxurious
Mansion
Bribe
Lots of
Money
God bless you lowkey a true legend
Lowkey and Jeremy Corbyn should be president of Humanity.
Did Lowkey get a mansion too?
I don't like to focus on just Trump. As Low-key rightly mentioned; Trump is just a symptom of what existed lo g before he became President.
Preside rd from Reagan to Obama, skipping Carter set the foundation for Trump.
Tee It’s like everyone has forgotten that past presidents like Bush Jr, Reagan and Nixon have done 10x what Trump has but did it with a smile on their face and with a polished tone in their voice. I guess Trump just makes people feel icky even though he’s been a diet Obama on foreign policy.
@@MrBADMAN2222
Behind all the nastiness, vulgarity, and racist statements Trump has comraderie with the likes of Clinton, Bloomberg, and Guliani. They are part of the ruling elite that did 911 and put us in permanent war in the Mid East.
Powerful words
Lowkey FOR PRIME MINISTER or AKALA!!!! 😭😭😭
Buy lavish mansion
More more more ... bravo ❤️
14:30 hauntology
I love your dream worlds, they are so beautiful
No more respect for LOWKEY
LOL 😂
would love to hear from Obama and Michelle
Nelson Mandela was once called a terrorist in his younger days of activism...so white fragility is real

Global family?
And now you have been buying houses. Hope that you're not a fraud per the news out there.
She can buy as many houses she wants.. she deserves them.. She helped start a greated movement... Queens own castles...
if you are interested in the other side of the debate watch Thomas Sowell
We must talk about the massive inequality in the US and worldwide that is at the base of so much suffering.
Outlawing being a billionaire and having a worldwide guaranteed income that result in outlawing poverty is necessary.
These 2 are heros. Thank you both
Hero? She literally stole millions in donations from stupid people
@@cuprashoe thank you for donating then
many of the Western Business people who hold all the wealth are not from money. They worked and earned what they have!
I love Lowkey but he didn't ask her the questions that want to be asked.
What questions are those?
@@aaminahasan6270 why is BLM funded by George Soros? Why BLM doesn't mention the role of Black males as fathers on their website?
@@fabianallnutt4783 thank you!
@@jwaxmcgeeg9706 no worries bro.
@@jwaxmcgeeg9706 I would also ask why BLM is a Democrat Party fund raiser rather than investing their donations into projects that educate and empower black American communities?
Lets not forget sho funds BLM, Grorge Soros!!!!!!
It seems BLM is becoming bigger than it originally intended (as far as I understood)... and I'm concerned it's going to become less practically productive... similar to trying to pass a law to solve x problem, then tagging on several other stipulations that are not related, and then the law doesn't get passed... whereas if it just stuck to the one goal, it could be passed and they could work on the other things separately.
it hasn't even achieved the original goal yet... has it?
I submit it's very possible i misunderstood the original goal. I thought it was supposed to be about addressing systematic (judicial, legislative, and executive) racism against black Americans...
I'm not speaking for or against the Palestinian issues, just that seems to be a separate issue, and I'm not sure it was wise to incorporate it... practically.
This didn't age well.
👀
Yes he’s all for pointing out corruption now oh so quiet 🤐 what a surprise
Europe america belive freedom of speach what about Palestine and kashmir need freedom ❤️🇵🇸☪️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️

Quit blaming everything but yourself of your reality change yourself first not everybody else then your world will change !!!! Take personal responsibility.
She has changed herself. She has take a stand. It’s a separate matter that the state has used its machine to control and mold her efforts to become a part of the lesser of two evil choice dual choice.

Osra that’s right I’m a hater !! He hates the country that’s allowed him to become successful!! Oppressed is he!?!?!? He’s one of the lucky ones who made it to this beautiful country,, England 🏴!!!
You can not go more woke than Qatari tv. How about they make something about anti apostasy laws in Qatar, their homophobia and their mistreatment of foreign workers.
Deflection
Can the same not be said for the Americans? Death for treason, homophobia in Texas and the use of cheap labour from prison workers for big corporate companies?
@@beamms ....yap, this is how people speak nowadays when one tv station tries to point out a problem in America.
@Crow29Darkness why don't they get them to help better causes than making crazy profits for companies that don't pay taxes. Gay rights might be legal in all states but that doesn't mean it works and people don't protest about it. Why should every country adhere to what America thinks is right? And are they meant to be an example? They should sort there own backyard first with the crazy amount of mass shootings and racism. Every country has its own rules and who are we to interfere with that, Muslim countries aren't the only ones against LGBT look at countries people go to as holiday destinations such as Jamaica and there treatment. Every TV station will or may have a slight biased approach to what they believe in its just normal.
Crow29Darkness
Hi Qatar may be doing what may be wrong but we can’t label thier wrongs as Islamic
The U.S. independence proves that
Слава ИЗРАИЛЮ!!!!
Fyi people- a very small part of America even knows this ladies name. She's just a thing that will flash away quickly after she has taken as money as she can. We actually make fun of her here.
Who are "we"?
She’s a real estate mogul now from BLM funds.
if the West has to be dismantled then imagine what needs to happen to countries like Iraq or Iran
One of the best rappers but he's turned into a SJW
Castlevaniac and how’s that
What is SJW about him? Is talking about race SJW? It seems like that term is just used when someone doesn’t want to hear from a certain group of people.
If you can point out one thing he has said here that is factually incorrect, fair enough, but that’s not gonna happen.
Yes he’s a good rapper, he is also very smart, that’s why he talks the way he does about the issues he focuses on.
It’s not SJW to analyse things in an intelligent way, it’s just dealing with reality.
What is does is social justice. Just because you don’t like the connotations/semantics that go with the label doesn’t mean he’s ‘turned into’ a sjw
Mans got morals. See how dickheads want to undermine people with labels.
