Petite bantu his mind is one sided, distorted and racist. Akala pontificates about racism and tried to sound clever but makes factual mistakes and flawed arguments. He tries to make it seem like there is structural racism toward black people from conservatives, whilst trying to create structural racism toward white people. Akala never debates black conservatives. Why is that?

This man is sharp without a doubt...

I have always found it interesting than when a sensible debate is underway, that certain people respond with hatred and bile. And yes I know that, the crass and spiteful comments come from some place deep inside, deep from people's fears and insecurities about something they'd like to control. Moreover I know that those who make these mean comments aren't even aware half the time that they are both afraid and that their fears stem from their upbringing. Yet I still find it interesting that a few words from someone can ignite such an unwarranted response. My take on it is... If you're not filled with fear. If you consider yourself full of courage. If your not small town and small minded. Let the brother speak. Jah live

Lol ok..

Real talk!... Being "Black" has less to do with pigmentation, and more to do with mindset. Akala is a Black as they come!... My skin colour is Brown, and so is Akalas. Real talk

keep kicking knowledge Akala...you rock

Great interview with a highly respected artist and man. Good work guys.

Akala and Ms Dynamite both Bro's and Sis should be highly credited for being mixed and not ignorant of themselves, they have a great awareness!

These people who are stuck on defining Akala' s ethnicity are foolish. And when it comes to the liberation of Blacks, they're NOT serious. If you were stuck in a burning building, and couldn't find you way out, and a biracial person had the knowledge to get you out, would you listen to that person? A sane person would. Akala is giving knowledge that is helpful in getting Blacks out of the mental trap that they've been in. Anyone who would put skin color above that, is NOT serious about addressing the issues Blacks face today. If you look at the views on YT, most people on it don't have anything of substance to say. Even more so, they can't express themselves well enough to get their point across. If someone comes along stating truth, is articulate, and has a high IQ, and is on your side, why would you put your attention on shutting that person down? Notice that people who only want to talk about his ethnicity, never state whether or not his views are relevant? They can't. They probably don't know what he's talking about. They couldn't debate him if their lives depended on it. Also, WATCH OUT. There's a lot of false pride going around. A lot of Blacks are envious of light skin or bi racial people. That's why they always call them out. Some bi racial people call out mixed people, to separate themselves from Blacks. Some of this is mentioned in Hidden Colors 4. Their own jealousies and prejudice are more important to them than the knowledge Akala's putting out. Knowledge is power, and we need all the knowledgeable and powerful people we can get. Akala is one such man. He knows more Black history than the average Black man. So much so, that Tariq is considering putting him in one of his future Hidden Colors series.

great interview, a lot of sense spoken.

the way he said thankyou to her, you can just tell what kind of person he is

Rah Akala was in my hometown and I didn't even know 😞

i advise you to read this book "the African origin of civilization: myth or reality by Cheikh Anta Diop "

nothing but truth

fact filled docs a must see for all

unite

Wow lot of views!

yea dis guy is real

green tea!!! yeah baby!!

i rate Akala

@ Peter K - He's talking about a system. Not. You. Personally. People need to stop being so emotional. All you have to do is listen, observe and understand. :)

I would like to know your definition of Black if you would.

how about focusing on exposing the Divide & conquer tactics in the present time rather then the history that's lead us to division. an focus on unity. an education of their Angendas instead self absorbed by race/skin colour or history

Transition.

Biggups Akala !

"... you still got to get your own education separate from that" - I think this is very important for every human being. Schools are either too incompetent or they really do it deliberately but its true. They do not seem to give you anything in full. It is amazing if you youth listens to him. (in my opinion) no matter if you're black or white. at least get the facts and make your own judgement. it be even worse if you are rasist simply because thats what your mom told you to be.

What's funny whenever I play his music the young people ask me to skip probably because they don't want to hear the truth of their situations , predicaments and it scare them theyed rather listen to GANG GANG GANG STAB STAB STAB music.

that was just a referral to some of bars from fire in the booth i believe. but cool dewd (Y)

SET THE YOUTH RIGHT.... REDEMPTION TEACHER YOU GIVE US HOPE. STAY STRONG FOR I. "ONENESS"

Yeah I know how you feel when you get looked up on strange for being proud of who you are and where you've come from.. I'm a white Englishman. You can not denie the fact that I would be looked up on with disgust and have been looked up on with disgust for walking around saying how proud I am to be English and have a flag wrapped around me. People just assume you're a racist and have an alteria motive for doing what you're doing.

How is he not being himself? he's conscious. Is that an issue? The only thing he said i have an issue with was crap about patriarchy. The Black community is matriarchal, and boy, is that going down the freaking pan!

Truth can be painful shhh better stop that

humanity is african even if not black

and the vast majority dont.... get real .

I have a lot of respect for Akala but the endorsement of that film is the perpetuation of misinformation.

I'd like to see Akala debate a black conservative, like a black Trump supporter. Akala has made a career out of trying to highlight discrimination against black people but never talked about the discrimination against black conservatives. Black Trump supporters, whilst not that many of them, are hated by the left. There have been cases where black Trump supporter have been threatened, verbally abused and even physically assaulted by left wing people- the same people who claim to be against racism.

he is against racism towards black people.

no its not. sorry for bursting your bubble.

Yeah, because catholics never raped anyone.. Every culture has a few fucked up traditions, you really cant judge the entire history of one of the oldest civilizations on earth based on what a few people do. Fair enough, Akala doesn't really mention his scottish side as often as his african side, but how many times in his life do you think he's ever faced any kind of prejudice on account of a Celtic background? And i dont really think he's self hating, he's the fuckin man and he knows it.

Kangs and shit is total BS

why is that funny?

and civilization certainly isn't

BUT HIDDEN COLOURS IS 1% FACT THE REST IS PURE BULLSHIT ONLY CALL OFFENSIVE WHEN YOU TELL CLEAR BULLSHIT LIKE PEOPLE SAY WHY DONT YOU AKALA LIVE IN AFRICA NOT EVIL UK FUCK OFF DICKHEAD

show me a african tribe who don't treat their women like property
