Israel and China both excelled due to the injection of investment and education. And by the way, there are contributions of black people in the field of space.

A bridge over a massive gap. He articulates his perception and understanding of society so well.. So glad he shares his knowledge. .. To really know and understand where you are coming from.

Amazing guy.

Akala thanks again. I am proud of the fact that your presence on this stage has served to uplift, educate and boast Jamaica's culture before this audience. You're doing exactly what I did when I studied in England in the 1990s. There's always an audience when you least expect it because there is always a situation that causes you to want to use a platform to flush out the ignorance that exists in this euro-centric society.

Akala is a gem to the political and historical sphere. He wise and witty. He probably the most articulate person i have seen, many say that too, but what i think is most noticable with Akala, is not him being articulate but he also have a great memory, a memory of detail aswell. He can just outlay names, times, situations, stats at the get go. He is very smart, and rare to see lately. Hik being mixed, consider himself black, is a nice siatiuation to. He is role a model for ous who havent gotten the nicest and fairest coverage, He is inspirational. Beacon of hope, and we should spread it further. He critical thinks, very smart, open minded and witty. I dont know how he does it, and would love for him to be mentor (bet man would). Akala is great, and wish him noting but the best. May he keep speaking truth and knowledge.

Even though he gets recognition, I feel like he's wasted on us. Great guy.

I think you need to do more research on the Chinese. They are just as racist as Britain. I think its natural to view them with suspicion. Obviously we cannot characterize a whole set of people as racist, but judging from the media so far I am not impressed. Check out the issues of Education and how the Chinese don't want other minorities in schools in NYC for example. I think we need to make sure all races are given a fair shot and we know historically and presently they are not, especially black people.

We are like droplets of water in an ocean of consciousness; individual to an extent, but those droplets together make up the ocean -- without the droplets there is no ocean. It is the same with this infinite energy mind we call creation/god. We are not part of that infinity -- we are that infinity if we open ourselves up to reconnect with it. Wherever you stand in infinity, you are at the center of infinity. So everything that exists is everything that exists. I am everything that exists; and so are you -- the more you realize that, the more you open up to the full infinity of who you are.

Akala’s knowledge and delivery is excellent. His Scottish grandad told him of the Scottish inventions. I’m sure Akala knows that Scotland gained massively from the free labour of American and Caribbean black slaves. The Ku Klux Klan was a formation of the Scots in America. The modern inventions of the Scots was facilitated and enabled by the wealth and first world status afforded by African slavery in the diaspora. As with England, the wealthier the society became, people of learning could devote themselves to higher learning and subsequent inventions, without the burden of earning a living.
