    Damn as a young black man watching this really makes me feel dumb lol. These lot are on a next level in the way they speak. Hopefully I can be this articulate in a few years from now

    Just noticed that the room should have been full that's the only difference when great things are happening we don't show up, but if there is a dance the room is full, this is why we struggle to come together and make real change. Picking up a book and read self awareness is key.

    the gentleman sat the furthest from akala made such a competing opening statement/answer. It really drove and set the primary tone for the rest of the talk. Great stuff.

    It is Sad that we even have to this discussion. Being Black is what I know and don't want to be anything else.

    great conversation!! sixty minutes was enough time however the panel was comprised of four articulate, Black intellectuals. It is really hard to find brothers so conscious and mindful of such issues going on internally within our race. As a proud Black Man, Black-ness is cherish daily

    Akala. This guy is one of Britain's best roles models for our Nubian men and I always have time to lend an ear.

    Powerful; every point made throughout the video. I am remiss to admit that it has taken me months to find this.

    Yep! My mom did Black or pan African studies with us too from a very young age and I literally spent my childhood pointing out my teachers constant racist behaviour and my stance I will never put up with it whenever they tried to dish it out.
