Liverpool accents are disgusting, Brum accents are the worst (no offence to the 0121 but I don't even like my own tbf), Geordie accents are not terrible but they have like their own language sometimes, most north west accents are similar and pretty chavvy and scruffy but growing up hearing that shit day to day I'm used to it, I'd just rather sound like an Eastender that accent is smooth and cool as fuck

    @gunnyo50 8 лет назад +162

    What Akala is saying about more blacks slaves originating from the Caribbean is right. A lot of the Caribbean islands were former British colonies during the british empire (hence the commonwealth). So Akala is right again. For those who don't know who Akala is, he's the brother of British artist called Ms Dynamite.

    I have to also say I love this channel, thank you Mr. Lyubovny, with this you have allowed me to find an hear men like Marc Lamont Hill, Dr. Johnson, Charlamagne ,Dr.Watkins and Freeway Ricky.

      Pro-black? You mean he appreciates his heritage, both sides, he proudly claimed his Scottish roots as well as his Jamaican. You heard what you wanted to hear, because you are ignorant, just like the interviewer was to slavery, and the truth that the US was a tiny fraction of the slave trade, yet is the only place that still cries about it.

    • @Mr-js9ly
      @Mr-js9ly 8 лет назад +6

      He is pro-black! I clearly identifies with being black more than white just like my homeboy Colin Kaepernick! Your just pissed because blacks are waking up and trust me we will become unified very soon. The police are going to make us stronger and more of a threat.

    • @smolgok384

      looka dis fool here. Got the nerve to come on a blac culture channel (like I am not blac and lived in this skin) but talk about "blac on blac" violence whatever that is.
      But why is he not talkin about "white on white" violence? Or even worse the chattel slavery murder rape genocide and atrocities of white on blac violence for the 400 years it happened?
      Why are these people not speakin about that?
      If you are white you have no right to talk to anyone about murder as you peoples whole premises is based on murder. That's how you have everything now.
      Whatever "blac on blac" violence is it will never match you demonic bluefoots historical crime rate and what you have done throughout history. YOU ARE BORN MURDERERS!
      comin up on blac people tings talkin foolishness but bet I won't ever catch you on a Klan page talking shit. GET DA FUC OUTTA HERE. U don't belong here.
      Last but not least did anyone see what happened in France this summer?
      NOOOO blac people were involved whatsoever but just research the events.
      These people ruined the south of France in a single day but guess what color the people were who had to clean up the mess after they fled bac to there countries?

      How do you figure? Because you all didn't agree with him or is it that he speaks with conviction?

    A lot of people hate on Vlad but got to respect him because he gave a man like Akala a chance to school a lot of people.
    It won't surprise me if a lot of people won't listen to these kind of interviews and rather listen to Vlad TV interview with mozzy and Daylit...
    Akala is a wise man and i like to see him in a long interview with David Banner.
    I'm a dutch, excuse me for my mistakes that i made typing ;-)

    Wow I agree with this brother a lot. Hip hop is a modern minstrel. As a huge fan of hip hop I am really rethinking what kind of music I listen to because of this brother’s thoughtful discussion. Thanks!

      They are, but it shouldn't mean they can't have the same creative freedoms, who knows, some white boy could release the realiest rap album of the decade but he would be held back if rap had that ideology
      Hip-hop was born out of fighting oppression, not to start it
      There is a video of Jamar saying that shit, just google it

    Good to see Akala still doing his thing and educating his audience as much as he can. I saw him do a talk and performance in Mcr UK few yrs back and he's still getting better and better at dropping the real talk. May this interview get all of us thinking more about what we say and do and the roots of it all.

    Good job Vlad!! Glad you finally got someone like Akala on your platform. I’m from the UK, we love and honour Akala for his high intelligence and Pan-Africanism. I’m happy you brought him on to to teach and speak truth. People who are interested should also get his book Natives: race & class in the ruins of Empire.

    The Western US was also under Mexico's control prior to 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Part of what lead to the Mexican american war was Mexico's resistance against america's slavery. However, slavery was still present and vicious under spanish rule. Native peoples were forced by the spanish to build the California missions. Junipero serra is supposedly a "saint", but in reality, he's just another slave master.

  • @jovialvibes5962
    @jovialvibes5962 8 лет назад +9

    Vlad the title is super misleading. Akala does not say this. He is answering in the voice of the youth he would ask that question to. Akala has spoken many times on racism and what it means when an oppressed group has a racial prejudice against their oppressors. Not the same thing as racism. CHANGE THE TITLE VLAD YOU ARE REALLY PAINTING A DIFFERENT IMAGE OF AKALA WITH THAT. SERIOUSLY, NOT COOL VLAD. plz upvote this and get this to his attention this is a serious misrepresentation of Akala
