DWRF19: Akala - Natives

Award-winning hip-hop artist, social entrepreneur and writer Akala talked with Paula Morris about his bestselling debut memoir Natives, a searing, modern polemic on race and class in the British Empire.
The 2019 Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival podcast recordings were made possible by Copyright Licensing New Zealand, the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO funding, and the Dunedin UNESCO City of Literature. All were expertly recorded and edited by Otago Access Radio.

    AKALA is the most intelligent and articulate individual that deservedly needs a monumental following and recognition, however we can see the clear explanatory physical reason why that is NOT the case, had he been an oppressed WHITE lad that endured 1/4 of his servitude, we would no doubt have a 'heroic and much celebrated' person who rose above unfathomable hostility and oppression.

    This man has become a formidable intellectual why? Because he is willing to entertain his detractors with intellectual honesty. I am very impressed at the fact thag he reads Tom Sowell and follows people like Stefan Molyneux despite having every reason to just call them bigots and not contend with thier arguments.

    "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." When a well packaged web of lies has been sold gradually through time to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled. No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth. This truth will free you to seek for the Living God in the Spirit and to truly KNOW GOD instead of just knowing ABOUT HIM. The GOSPEL is NOT written with ink, nor on tablets of stone, but on our hearts by the Spirit of the Living God. The gentiles who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, then they are a law unto themselves. Under the New Covenant we are to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the bible. I was searching for truth when Jesus told me, "The bible is an idol" which completely changed my direction. After that I only sought for Him in the Spirit and He has taught me many things on life's journey. The most important of which is that He died so we could be regenerated by the Holy Spirit into sons and daughters of God. The gospel is simple, repent from living after the flesh, ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit and then be led and controlled by Him through the Spirit. The bible is only history and has absolutely no authority from God to control us, the outward law was under the old covenant. Jesus died to redeem us from the curse of the written law because we were unable to keep it. Have a great journey through life with the Living Christ guiding you. When Jesus words are written down and Satan is using them, then the bible becomes the word of Satan. Constantine (1st) beast compiled 50 bibles, legalized Christianity and set up the false prophet (pope). King James (2nd) beast, born 6/1566, 6th of Scotland, authorized a bible in 1611 that now has 66 books to control people with, an image of God's word they make to speak (the bible says). By having faith in the bible which has been made into an idol, they break the new covenant of having faith in the Living Christ through the Holy Spirit, who is the true word of God.

    WHY are you bothered with that, esp with someone like this gem of an individual, would you be deeply proud and perhaps it would serve it's purpose that it aligned with your inner resentment ? i'm rather curious, it makes no difference if nearly all 7.6 Billion of this earthly realm voted this intellectual with the DOWN vote, who said the majority are alway's right? slavery was 'LEGAL' Hitler got in with just 1 extra Vote, Legality does NOT represent Morality/ ethics or Righteous deeds.
