This has just popped up on my timeline elsewhere. I don't know when it dates from, but as knife crime is still a massive issue here, it seemed worth posting.
Akala is always worth listening to in any case.
Read his book Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, if you haven't already.
@fkamiah17 I just looked further and I think you’ve conflated two of his works. There’s the book Natives which isn’t about indigenous people on Turtle Island, but growing up as a young black man in England, and another one that has the subtitle “Race And Class In The Ruins Of Empire. He seems like a quite intelligent man, and I will be reading his books and checking out his music, so thank you.
@fkamiah17@syzito.xyz@csgraves At no point did I or he say that it was anything to do with indigenous Americans. If you'd watched the clip, you'd know he's British bi-racial - he says so himself.
By all means ask questions but don't claim to have "looked into it" when you clearly haven't even bothered to type a five letter word into Google. If you had, you would have known all of the above. I own a copy of the book in question, so I'm well aware of the title.
@fkamiah17 um, I was trying to tell you the same thing in the post. I did actually Google him, and learned.
@csgraves No, you didn't.
