    This guy always deflects to Glasgow. We’re in London, and there’s a clear problem with knife crime in the black community. He just tells us what we like to hear, and panders to make us feel good. But the problems still remain, because he like other so called “black leaders” don’t want to face truth that we need to accept accountability for our own community. He views this problem from a victims mentality instead of facing reality. He’s either very delusional like a lot of people, or he’s purposely deflecting so he’s better received from the black community. These types of so called black voices are part of the reason things never change. Because he doesn’t want to accept accountability

    We need better solutions now. In Dundee Scotland as in many cities in my country we are now connected to London through organised crime. During pandemic grooming children into criminality. Men using knives and guns to terrify children. Two children my daughters friends from primary school stabbed by men sending over city lines aged 14/15 A girl stabbing a man who had groomed and raped her. Know them all. Police have hidden grooming as a problem in Dundee going as far as being corrupt in favour convictions over safety/children. They used a peer group to monitor and convict gangsters from the S2 gang that came here. Indeed 4 years after the fact? Gangster from London found with a child and gun in Dundee. Funny thing is ? I exposed what was happening to every single authority possible. They took the information and let me and my family in that community to be targeted over and over again by local organised crime. Knife crime in youths here? Fuelled by everything in this interview. But I’m afraid it is not singular to race in the current social and economic circumstances.

Since pandemic children as young as 14 are being initiated into organised crime. Supported and enabled by families / community and those tasked with supporting vulnerable communities. It’s a mess here and our youth are collateral damage. Anyone speaking out ? Is targeted. Horrific.

      Inequality creates segregation and resentment - race, age, gender, religion etc - none of these consistently correlate across the UK/World with high levels of crime, the only thing that does is inequality.

      Read a book once in a while. You think that poverty should dissuade violence? Poverty, especially in an entire nation, typically INCREASES crime and violence. Saying things basically like "they're so poor that they have no reason to stab each other..." That's just ignorant. Read a book, educate yourself. Poverty is often the genesis of crime. "But why?" you might ask....
      Why do you think? If you have a community or country or state, or whatever--in which everyone is rich, or at least has the proper means to survive--why would they resort to crime, to killing each other? Some will, it's human nature that some people will just be victimizers or predators. But then look at a country or group who can barely afford to afford food for their families (or maybe CAN'T), then ask yourself why THEY might resort to crime or violence...?
      Read a bit on history. As Lowkey would say, "give it another look." You'll correct or answer your own ignorance.

Knife and gun crime has been a serious problem within the community for a few decades and it’s getting worse.

    Serious question from a Non-British person. When Akala was said to not be middle class, where exactly was he placed in the social hierarchy? Upper class? Or was he pigeonholed as a lower/working class based on his background/skin colour?

    • @Pettsvaldo
      @Pettsvaldo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Akala is/was lower-middle class, I'd say - elements of proper grimy working class roots as well as elements of middle class upbringing.
      Class is such a messy subject to try to pull apart - income, education, where you grew up, your parents - and it's increasingly a continuum.
      If someone were to argue that Morgan was implying Akala wasn't middle class just because he was black, I wouldn''t necessarily disagree (I think he would probably argue that he's just trying to be a voice of the "man on the street" - whether he's genuine in that or not is another topic altogether) but what Morgan says/means is not the same as what others would say and certainly isn't a truth.
      I'd argue it's not hugely helpful to think in terms of class and the fact that Morgan uses the paradigms backs up that argument, I feel.
