After watching this, his Oxford Union lecture, listening to his music and seeing him be interviewed I never cease to be amazed by this man's intelligence and always find myself learning something new! Absolutely brilliant. Also being Scottish that part about his Scottish family had me laughing hard!

It is always refreshing to listen to a bright, brilliant man like Akala.

This brother is awesome, I've been following his career for a while now and his insight into the challenges facing the African diaspora and those on the continent is accurate and succinct.

It's really incredible how this man has drawn such a diverse crowd of all walks of life to address such divided problems, and it seems impossible to come across any criticism of him even when you try. The respect and honesty he wields, along with his openness and charisma, makes him a phenomenal role-model for us youngsters, and a staple of the potential future of us all. People like Akala are exactly what this world needs to sort itself out.

Man, I would like to hear the Q+A. Akala is one of the most talented and intelligent people I've come to experience in my life, and I would definitely love to see his interaction with the audience. Either way, this man has inspired me to look beyond "respecting humanity" and really see the injustice that exists (and has existed) since the beginning of time. All in all, I love listening to him speak, and I hope I can, in some way, be as influential as he is.

Still relevant today - even more so in 2019. Loved watching this.

Rei, who ever called Akala racist is totally miseducated, does not overstand how racism operates and indeed could simply be jealous.

Akala I think you should do a documentary series about the history of racism, from the start up until recent times. I know TV won't give you a slot cos they won't to keep us dumb, but you get a lot of KZread views. It's a shame I've only seen you on TV about 3 times when you have such a large audience.

I can't have enough of Akala. Such a breath of fresh knowledge. Black people in Europe and America, visit Africa. White and mainstream media will make it sound as though we live in the most dangerous spot on earth but that isn't true. Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Gambia, Congo and many other places are beautiful places. I have visited several European countries, but no place like Africa. If you are black or have African ancestry, take a trip to Africa. It is the Motherland! God bless Mama AFRICA

Refeshingly informative engaging and passionate.No external notes,power point presentations -if only all educators were equally informed.

Great video. At 10:52 when he talks about the relief of not 'explaining himself' is very funny; because I felt that when I returned to Ghana for Christmas 2019. holidays. I hope he continues to pass on his wisdom and knowledge for the younger generation because it is very much needed in these current times.

9:50 Although I’m white and certainly not in a place to say I relate to the experiences of black people, this is a parallel I can see with my own experiences. I’m trans, and existing in a society where you’re absolutely not the default is exhausting, mainly because you’re constantly having to explain yourself and justify your own existence to people who are generally hostile to you. Getting into any space where you are considered the default is an immense relief and ultimately gives you an opportunity to talk about your struggles without those who wouldn’t understand interrupting. It’s a powerful thing. Thank you to Akala for this wonderful talk and to the uploader for making this accessible. Solidarity.

All violations of rights are a form of theft. To kill is to take away someone's life to abuse is take someone's right to choose who they are going to have sex with and so on.

Akala on top form as always.

Really appreciate how they cut a bunch of this out...

It's fucking brilliant watching him talk here. After watching a few interviews and reading and learning you tend to realise akala answers the same questions and speaks on the same thing in most of his interviews as he is talking to people uneducated on the subject. But seeing him talk to a group that he knows is educated is fucking amazing. It's allows him to delve deeper and talk more in depth. I highly recommend any fan of akala to read his book natives. The amount of history you grow up not being taught is insane. A true educator and visionary. Big up akala
