Cancel all the brain numbing TV shows and give Akala his own primetime hour programme where he can share his truth with different guests each week. I bet he'd be able to get a huge audience and would succeed in getting new people to engage with social and political issues.
I always appreciate the way you bring back social traumatic past events and put it into context with what is happening currently in terms racial political issues which we are still battling with now 👌🥇
After buying Natives about 8 months ago now and thoroughly enjoying it, I have never yet failed to learn something new from you. Thank you for being you.
So enjoy these fantastic conversations ..feel like I'm sitting on the sofa too ..an with such a fantastic sense of humour thanku so much love an god bless x
Hello. These snippets are excellent. But how do we see/hear the full exchanges? I'm a subscriber to the Akala Music channel. Is there a reason for publishing only a taster of these conversations? How would we have known in advance about the talk at Evolutionary Arts Hackney? Was it even open to the public, what with all the coronavirus lockdown film flam?
Is it a new thing in Britain to refer to people from the Caribbean as "Caribbeans"? 🤔 Genuinely would like to know. I'm from and live in the Caribbean and know we don't refer to ourselves that way, but Akala says it all the time.
I live in Britain and I have never heard it - to be honest I don't hear black British or white British either...I just hear "black people" and "white people". The rest is too educated for us!
I hear it in England all the time, Caribbeans, Jamaicans, South Africans, Bengalis etc. I think people try to be specific where possible. Otherwise broader Asian/Black/White/Mixed etc. Is used.
@@Trixxine I get you, but "Caribbeans" is different from the others you mentioned. The name of the region is "Caribbean" and as a collective we never refer to ourselves as "Caribbeans"... it just sounds odd. We'd definitely do Jamaican, Grenadian, Dominican, Kitician, Haitian (etc.) though. However, when I think about it, we do sometimes say things like "I'm Caribbean".. so I see why there's an inclination to pluralise it.
Maybe the carribbeans do well in America because only the most highly educated, cream of the crop meet the immigration criteria. Also a different mindset, they go to America with a purpose and mission to achieve something
The US found was around apartide. For instance in the US with any felony no matter how minor u cannot vote the US has long deliberately criminalised blacks to prevent them voting they just switch from being overtly to covertly racist using their economic and social conditions rather than literal blatant segregation
in my opinion all racism is political. as a white man like akala says were all racist most of the time because its what were expected to be because of the social brainwashing. white people hate other white people even like the irish or some people even hate gingers because they are asocitated with being from the north. i have grown up around many different cultures and friends that have been black, white, asian, hispanic, russian and ginger. the reason i mentioned ginger is because i have seen so many people with just a hair color be victimized. i have seen other black people i knew bully another black person for having an afro hair style. racism is more than skin colour it is anything that someone can visually judge you on because your different to them. i remember coming back to england after living in sweden for a year and i nearly got stabbed because i was half swedish and half british and this was from another white kid. we have to admit we have all been racist in life to a degree and most of it is environmental racism or out of fear and difference. ive seen some weird racial attacks over the weirdest differences in my life whether its a gypsy traveler or a black on black attack. truth is wea ll come from God and were all made of the same stuff just a different recipe. as a genetic recipe i have noticed most good looking people hardly ever experience racism as the people that are not so genetically gifted are bullied to the point of death sometimes. i think globally we need to recategorise racism as a visual differnce as so many people are being tortured by subtle racism. im glad a lot of black people are starting to talk and open up but what i dont want to happen is when people start to divide more from recent racial events.
It’s not that long ago that black guys did not like mixed race people in the seventies I worked with a lot of. black guy’s mostly Jamaican and they used to give the mixed race guys a hard time calling them all sorts of names.
@@keithmaskell4090 yep its always been there. i believe if you stop soft racism and bullying then you can solve large scale racism but it has to start at every neighbourhood on a global scale. see most kids learn racism from other adults and it starts with the soft racism that builds in to harder forms of racial attacks. nobody is born a kkk member they are slowly introduced and fed bullshit.
I could listen to Dr Akala all day. Very inspiring and educational..... thank you
Same. Very insightful
Same. Very insightful but also delivered in a way that would be applauded by the plain english campaign.
“Dr”

Would love this but they wouldn't allow it. But doing it on UA-cam or his website would be great 🤗
One of the brightest, most charismatic men of our time xxx
When I listen to you Akala, I know I am being educated. You are so bright and I more than admire your skills as a communicator.
He’s one of the few people who discusses these issues so reasonably and with such intelligence. I wish more activists were like him.
Freedom not a final resting place, because life goes on and new generations, priorities change

I got the book, along with Malcolm's autobiography!
Growing up in the 70s and 80s.. I hear you brother

It’s what we have to put on the form “Afro Caribbean” but it is certainly a British thing
liking... but not watching. I just bought the book and am too engrossed.
Akala... my bruddah... you are a hero out here king.

I LIKE THE BIT ABOUT CARIBBEAN BLACKS OCCUPYING THE STATES AND BEING TREATED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE US 1S
I bet the politicians hate him
Love your work, but South Africa was not the last overtly racist state, since we still have Apartheid Israel. Hope you talk about that more.
