Kingslee James Daley, better known by the stage name Akala, is an English rapper, poet, and journalist. Originally from Kentish Town, London, his older sister is rapper/vocalist Ms. Dynamite. In 2006, he was voted the Best Hip Hop Act at the MOBO Awards.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. It has been established for 189 years, aiming to promote debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.o...
"People cannot be blamed for their ignorance if they are genuinely ignorant. People can be blamed if they've had a different set of information and still CHOOSE to remain ignorant" I love it!
Of you choose not to seek out knowledge, and remain ignorant that also not right
NESCIENCE vS. IGNORANCE
The CONTEXT of Not Knowing
Nescience
From the Latin verb nesciere:
"to not know because knowledge was absent or unattainable.
Ignorance
From the Lotin verb ignorare:
"to not know even though necessary information I present, because that information has been willfully refused or disregarded."
@@t.c.pthecompletepackagellc21Thomas Aquinas created a similar theory but from a theological standpoint, Vincible and invincible ignorance with regards to knowledge of Christianity.
The concept of ignorance is a truly interesting one to discuss

Akala is a true inspiration in today society, brother may you live long.
+Adam Adams Seriously... what's your issue? He doesn't promote any such thing. Either you're stupid or you're trolling.
Ameen.
If akala was my teacher in school I would have listened and possibly learnt something.
:,-) lmao same
And now we can read and listen as much as we like, as long as we like. He’s my favourite teacher and I’m loads older than him. He’s just brilliant!
Gareth Atkins He has an honorary doctorate from Oxford Brooke university, so he’s over qualified. I used to be a teacher myself, and to qualify in teaching the specific subject (that I already have a first class degree in), only took me a year. I taught at degree level, and I think Akala is smarter than me, so I’d say...he would easily qualify.
@@garethatkins450 Jealous aren't we? Akala gave you enough sources now go check them out.
Gareth Atkins Yes, I know what ‘honorary’ means. He’s obviously an intelligent man, who could easily qualify in teaching at degree level, with or without that. OB Uni doesn’t need the publicity, it’s already a very well ranked uni. If you can’t deduce his level of intelligence from his written work, and public speaking over several years, then I can’t help you. ‘You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink’...stay thirsty, Gareth, no one is forcing you.
I said before, that I have a first class degree, and have taught at degree level myself, for several years, part of that, as a historian. But you knew that, and tried to patronise me instead. Stay thirsty, eh 😉
Imagine disliking this video. Being brought up in London and going to a school where most of the students where predominantly black or of colour we didn't learn any of this. I however I already knew about half of what he said through my own personal research. I'm so happy he has done this talk and this is on TH-cam so it can encourage people to actually learn about history and not what only your teachers teach you. Global history needs to be somehow included in the school curriculum because like I said in my school there were so many people from different backgrounds and we never learnt about their cultures/history.
I wish someone at the BBC would commission this lecture to be remade into a full documentary, with imagery that could match Akala's powerful words
nah, half of what he is talking about is pseudoscience anyway

So here we have (supposedly) Britain's brightest and best young minds and barely an intelligent question between them. For shame!
Mummy and Daddy didn't have time to deal with such petty issues as child rearing, the Tate was having a fantastic series of exhibitions on the futility of existentialism.
these are not the brightest minds, they are the inbred elite
LOLOL HAHAH
Perhaps they were mesmerized by Akala's vast knowledge! :)
What can they say, they've been lied to their entire lives.

Secrets Unlocked why would you want that Race baiter
There wouldn't be a single contradiction made by either of them.
@@niallsimpson6062 dopes like you only defer to calling people race-baiters to deflect from being a racist....racism is the problem....not so called race- baitors....racism been in this country since post civil war, but when blacks mention it, they are called race- baitors... wow you're dumb....I'm guessing that with in the heirarchy, it's probably better to be a racist than a race- baitor....
I would love to have a interview with him debunking his lies on ancient egypt live and showing the world how much of a clown and a pathetical liar attention seeker he is .. 18:78 He pretend Museum will display " Nefertiti " because she was more " NON AFRICAN LOOKING " Yet Nefertiti daughter of Akhenaton Egyptian pharaoh reigning circa 1353-1336 BC, and Nefertiti lived 1370 - c. 1330 BC 16:37 Here once again he lied ... Ramsees III or 3 actually reigned from 1186 to 1155 BC wich is almost 200 years after Akhenaton aka ( the sun worshipper pharaoh) adn century after his daughter Nefertiti wich compleatly defeat his arguments ... ALso the Picture he show off isnt the true representation of Ancient egypt races .. you have a copy and paste two time of the Nubian while the original of this as 1 Nubian black , 1 Asian white , 1 Libyan white , and 1 egyptian "redish tanned "and woman depicted as yellowish while nubian woman as dark brown and nubian males as Dark black ... These " race image " were found in Seti I tomb wich reign between with whithin the range of 1294 BC to 1279 BC or 1290 BC to 1279 BC wich again would still be holder than Ramsees III reign .. all his THeory are bollucks and the picture he show of the race as been taken from a black supremacist website propagandist ... LOOK UP all the information i have given and search in egyptology work and you will see this guy is full of shit and dont know anything of what he talk about .... Every piece of evidence we have about race proove that Egyptian were neither black african Neither white european neither Asian .. they were most likely metiss or well Mediteranean ? but their features and skin complextity was a thing ... also after the conquest of Nubia .. Nubia black have indeed adopted the cultural and way of life of the egyptian and became powerfull wich should make him happy prooved that " black african " were as capable as non black or at least partially non black egyptian .. Nubians also ruled as pharaoh for about a century but then loose power ...etc..etc.. then centurys after that Egyptian loose to persian then to roman and so on

+mam somal it's a called reading , you should try it some time
gigijbijbj What area of my comment prompted you to assume that I didn't read?
+mam somal He is passionate on the topics he talks of.
David Harrison He is certainly. He's undoubtedly a history buff that speaks very eloquently.
+mam somal That's because Akala is a modern day Griot aka Emcce. That's the role of the Griot. Poet, musician, Historian and holder of knowledge. This was the kind of Emcces I grew up listening to in the mid 80's to early 90's b4 corporations took over the art-from and start pushing death and ignorance.
These Emcces push education even-though they were still involved in the streets. You had to literally go to libraries to research the stuff they were rapping about. Look up KRS-ONE: You must lean video on you-tube.
Whether you agree or disagree you have to commend the effort this man has gone to to educate himself. He is an example to us all that you are never to old or knowledgeable to learn.
Absolutely, i would talk too him for hours.
Global history is relevant to everyone now
I dread to think what you would classify as being of the 'highest' relevance. Incidentally ssshhhh, Pablo, stop commenting on this video. Not everyone who watches it wants to deal with your damage. The expression of that damage through racism is in no way relevant to the topic of global history, and it's directly antithetical to the project of acknowledging racialised historical bias.
...why are you revisiting this page? Comments from today; 1 week ago; 2 weeks ago...you've called the information in this video irrelevant...what are you doing spending so much time on it? Why aren't you concentrating on more relevant historical artifacts, documents and discussions elsewhere?....what is your project here?
Pablo Rages Pablo you got absolutely exposed for the fraudulent that you are. Take the "L" and pipe down
I can't get enough of Akala! I find myself rewatching his talks and rereading his book every year. His articulate and eloquent teachings are like medicine for the soul. What a privilege to learn from someone so passionate and wise.
rather than re-read i would seek out the counter arguments - the evidence is not on his side unfortunately.

I also wished they could of showed his video slides makes you wonder if it is or was done intentionally.
Ms. Phipps.
That was by Design not zooming in on the slides, but zooming in on him instead, using his lips as a distraction from the evidence and facts he came to present.
Why?research and your find what your looking for
I met him back in 2013,very humble guy and intelligent. Good to see how far he's come along, good lecture also!
we need his intelligence now. where is he.
Man Id love to see Akala do a High Budget History documentary series with all the bells and whistles
300 pyramids in Africa, 220 in Sudan and 80 in Egypt. 0 in Europe.
Phalo Tshawe so 600 pyramids in Africa? Since all those places are Africa
@@gol.drodger5261 Yes I agree with you. Most ancient pyramids are in Africa.
Well he talks with his hands waving around all over the place, so he's halfway there.
A We Wuz Kangs fantasy show would be pretty great LOL. I'd definitely watch it. HBO's gonna need a show to replace Game of Thrones pretty soon...
I'm 45 I learned more in this video than 16 years of American education Thank You
Leaning is an ongoing process. You learn something everyday if you open yourself to new learning experiences.
Demo B he also does grime music and is a lyrical genius 👍🏻
U should fact check everyone including Akala.
Demo B Amazing!
Don't assume that the information in this is accurate. Many of his biggest points of conjecture are summarized with quips like, "that would be nonsensical to think that." Missing evidence is the causeway to understanding the nonsensical. Keep learning yourself. All spirits have the ability to seek and uncover self-evidence truth. Our spirits, when cultivated for knowledge, have a filtering system to root out misinformation.
As soon as I heard him say John Henrik Clarke, I knew he knew, what he was talking about!!!
Dr.Clark was a head of his time.
I said the exact same thing
truth!
@Julius Mainer drop a link to confirm your statement
Awesome 👌
This was of the most important lectures I’ve ever heard.
@Liam Hopefully so you lot built everything that was in Africa right ?
Same here! It changed things, writing, thinking, a real refreshment to me.
@BintF
YES WE DID!
And those facts will forever give you chest pains aka Rayciiism
What a lecturer! Brilliant presentation and tongue-in-cheek in a most informative and impressive combination.
@Germania Kuoni lol would specifically did he lie about?
@Germania Kuoni I've been to that Nazis video's and laugh my ass off. He shows pictures off dynasties after invasions but never the 1st. I want your evidence that he lied about the hieroglyphs and show what they actually mean by academic sources. Show one legitimate egyptologist (not hawass) that says the first dynasties in Egypt weren't black African. I can list African kingdoms before invasions and the ones that had pyramids. You know for sure those were African so why when it comes to Egypt all of sudden Africans had no part? Why lie to yourself to make you feel superior? Can you atleast admit there were rich African kingdoms before any invasion, or are you just a racist who isn't open to learning?
@Germania Kuoni What happened? Cat got your tongue? Since you won't respond hopefully you actually research without the hate and stop using debunked, outdated, racist scholarly ideology to come to conclusions about a race of people. If your German I'm surprised your even are racist. I thought Germans were smarter and more educated then racist whites in America. Thank God most Germans don't think like you.
@Germania Kuoni th-cam.com/video/CpuGTr0p9dM/w-d-xo.html and since us blacks are just cray afrocentric's here's white people telling you the face of the sphinx is black African. I bet super Egypt won't show this.
@Germania Kuoni make sure you watch all of it and learn for yourself.
I only thought I'd watch a few minutes of this and he hooked me for the whole thing. Very well done

This should be called Another Edition of Buried Historical Treasures... subtitled The travesty of history.
I just disagree a little about the mud huts. My aunts still live in them, it's a sustainable way of living and i really hope it persists over skyscrapers. You can be intelligent and modern and live in a mud hut the same as you can be ignorant and old fashioned in a skyscraper.
@rue80, I agree. Mud huts are still steadier and more resistant to severe weather conditions than those plastics western buildings.
There are 400 year old mud huts in Ghana today. Despite that, we remain the experts and only authentic Masons in the world.
Everywhere we went, we taught masonry skills. Every stone and mortar building/monument in America was built by Afrikan slaves because, they carried their masonry skills with them.
Europeans have ‘Builders’, we have Chief Masons who work with apprentices. This practice is still ongoing in Ghana, Nigeria, and many other Afrikan nations. In Afrika, Young men are sent into apprenticeship by their fathers after fees are paid. They are equipped with tools like trowels, plain, level, mortar pans, spades etc. They graduate after completing practical tests of mixing mortar, grading various sand textures, stones, pebbles, used for block- cutting, and which ones were appropriate for plastering and finishing.
They also pass tests in digging/setting concrete foundations for a wall and a single/storey house/ how to set intricate pillars, as well as displaying brick/block cutting skills.
As a child, I usually watched the Chief Mason, his apprentice and labourers, my parents hired to maintain and improve our properties. I was very fascinated by their skills and precision, even though I was female.
Wherever Black people reside, masonry skills abound. Afrikans in Jamaica and other Caribbean nations, are very skilled Masons because it is within them.
while i thoroughly agree with this, i believe the point is that there is an over projection of 'mud huts' in africa as indication of lack of development. This creates the idea that there couldn't have been anything more or less in terms of development. Rather than explaining that mud huts are actually a functional and sturdy invention in direct response to the resources readily available and the weather conditions in hot and tropical climates, we get the perception that there is nothing more to africa than this. I think this is a problem. Though i completely see where you're coming from.
rue80-and mud huts dont deplete resources, ravish rain forests, pollute land sea and air and call it civilization and progress.
rue80-in fact thats how africans lived in africa for all these years, while euros trashed europe in 5k years....
Amen!
THE TRUTH HURTS SOMETIMES BUT IT DOESN'T STOP BEING THE TRUTH.
Great point 👉
Facts.
As a whitey, it doesn't bother me, but does shed light on my racist subconscious, created by a life in systemic racism.
Almost none of what this man said is historical truth the only truth here is history being revised and twisted as a cope for black insecurity. Black therapy if you will.
@@DirtyLifeLove I can do nothing but respect this statement…..
a fluid presentation with some greater and lesser known facts ... no notes or cue cards ... and so young ...look forward to more from this man
I agree, a brilliant lecture. But not sure what you consider young? I've friends who are university lecturers who're younger than he was when this lecture was given (31). Perhaps you think he looks very young and weren't aware of his actual age?

@Graham, King of the Britons! 😊😩😳😭
I take issue with your comment because it implies that you are judging the intelligence if the speaker under a standard reserved for Black people. Even Noam Chomsky uses notes and cards, but I've never heard anyone knock him for it. Your comment reveals your bias. I'm not saying you're a bad racist- you definitely aren't. But you might want to take a hard look at some of your default assumptions about Black people.
Very interesting. In Sweden we had a big debate in the 90s regarding our image of the Vikings. The swedish kings who came after the Vikings wanted to distance them self from the Vikings. As such we had a very poor understanding of the Vikings and the best sources of the history was for a long time German, French and English sources.
I recently saw a documentary about anarchism and realized I had a very poor and very biased view about what anarchism is and what their role in history was. How one of the biggest most popular human rights movements of the time could be so suppressed even though they were so important in the advancement of the workers movements and the Unions is just amazing, and its quite recent history..
And it all continues today were certain world views (opinions) are being put forth by old and new media, politicians, populist writers (blogs etc). Instead of having a open objective debate based on facts.
Regarding older history it seems we lack a lot of knowledge. Especially since every effort weve made at understanding our history have been made through a "white" filter based on ideas of social darwinism. Many researchers have been and still are so indoctrinated in this world view that they cant even accept simple facts based on logical and rational thoughts or even common sense..
Reading the books by Graham Hancock or listening to Robert Bauval it becomes clear that theres is alot we dont know about history. Even more is the amount we seem to not know we dont know yet..
I enjoyed reading that brother..
Exactly.
I find this reasoning highly agreeable.
An awful lot of the old racial theory of history and Eurocentric history was based on bare-faced ignorance. The more you know, the more you know. Widening your interests is a choice you can make to escape ignorance, and the progress of research, like translating Malian documents, and of archaeology are developing people's understanding despite their prejudices, including among the kind of very posh, very white historians who tend to dominate history programmes on TV. And there there is definitely a need for political struggle, to force media elites to broaden their content.
@Reason 1234 Moron spotted. Stalin, Cortez, Columbus, Churchill, Hitler etc have killed millions are your here calling blacks that have not killed up to a million. Your an IDIOT is understatement. Fooooooooooooool!
I am so impressed with this young man. I wished more schools would bring in guest speakers such as Akala. Keep striving for the truth and knowledge of the past.
That might have the history department looking a bit red in the face
No they are to busy lying about their history. The shameful history of Britian s imperialism past is never taught in school . The education system is where racism starts

The first time i read about the aborigines in Australia I knew there's something wrong with "black history' as i have been taught. Insightful lecture.
A perfect example of a man who grew up with little physical possessions but gained a great amount of knowledge. Take note all the materialistic youngsters out there (our future to be).. you don't exactly need those stupidly priced headphones or tablets to be successfully minded.. you just need to have the willpower to differentiate and excel, after all.. this man is way ahead of his peers that he grew up with. Take notes.
Where did you get the idea that he grew up with few possessions?
The information might be new to some people but for others like my parents, this information was known. Thanks to the internet, those with access to tablets can find the info for themselves. Why would you believe he's ahead of his peers instead of also learning from his peers? Hopefully you've taken note.
***** what are you, the thought police?
He grew up in a inner city council house, and to be quite frank it's well known he wasn't exactly flossing in materialistic goods growing up.. hence why I said a few possessions.. should I have said a few physical possessions instead?
So being ahead of one's peers is an automatic assumption that you can't also learn from them? I think you need to assume less.. no offence to his clique.. his neighbourhood brothers etc. But I'm not the only one to say this, put his intelect up against one of his home boys, even they would agree Akala is on a different level to them.. that doesn't mean I'm calling others around him stupid, no he's just invested his time more wisely than others. Thanks for trying to school me ..don't need no PC/thought police.
+Haider Ali just out of curiosity why would you assume his peers (homeboys) would not be of the same intellectual level as him?
+IC Henry because people know about them. I'm not exactly assuming in this case. although yes, probably not the peers he associates more closely with now ..but his peers from 10 odd years ago. After all he's a real person from a real place.. this is all observable. Go ask someone who knows Akala on a more personal level. They might just say the same.
Now I'm not saying I know this dude inside out ... all I'm saying is that it's a small world and one may be surprised to realise the mutual links that exist.
Shoutout to the Black dude who raised his hand first in the Q&A section but never got picked by the host.

I realize this video is a few years old but I just came across it now extremely inspiring & uplifting. Inspiring in the sense that we all individually or as a group effort can have a part as human beings in mapping out truth in history , learning it and getting the story out there.uplifting in the sense of knowing people are participating actively in making it happen lighten my heavy heart on the matter. Short & Sweet !!! The young man wow quite a breath of fresh air.
He is a consumate academic. Intellectual prowess, delivered sincerely, well researched and free of emotion, despite the contentious issues. He is a man, gifted.
Blessed sweet pea
Truth and facts never get old or can be denied
Absolutely awesome. He needs to be heard globally in all venues of academia.
It's a load of poorly researched, error laden codswallop.
Every time I hear his words I'm blown away.
I dont think you'll get any useful information listening to him, we need to determine the future before it is determined for us why think anbout the past how does it your everyday life ...? or your life as a whole!
he's half white, of course he's intellgient.
Hopefully by his stupidity ,
Seems that all of you here arguing about race and using vile racial language towards each other would be a huge disappointment to Akala. The point of educating people of past/recent racial indoctrination/abuse is to enlighten us enough to ensure it doesn't happen again. Its not to spur on racial hatred between blacks and whites, it's to educate us all on the history of our ancestors so we can all work together to improve society, and to break down the social/racial walls that have been built up over the course of hundreds and hundreds of years of racial oppression around the planet. You lot are just pushing us back with all this primitive racial hatred, we need to move past all this bullshit and co-exist working together to improve life for everyone.
I'm not talking to you. Especially after the "So why is black skin the same color as shit?" comment you made. You clearly have some problem with black people so you will never accept anything that doesn't fit your narrative.
This is more interesting and engaging then all the all my UK curriculum school history lessons put together, fucking tudors and victorian bullshit.

The nose of the Sphinx was destroyed by the Arabs, oral tradition says, because the people were bringing offerings to the statue, which angered the Muslims. His conspiracy about the "noses" is fringe, as there are plenty of Roman statues with missing noses as well. It has nothing to do with "race".

Here's a tweet from Akala that tells you where most of the sources for the slides can be found "MOST of the slides from my @OxfordUnion Talk can be found in my teacher Robin Walkers book 'Before The Slave Trade' "
The fact that Prisoners who heard this lecture from him years before asked better questions and were more engaged makes me feel sad for Oxford Students.
The truth hurts lol
You already they didn’t want to hear that shit because that means what they actually learning in that university is propaganda biased bullshit and that institution will never teach real history or give the black scholars their credit!! lol!! I’m surprised they let him present that!
Interesting about the nose of the Sphinx being removed in Egypt, and when you look at replicas of the sphinx, they all have this tiny, upturned European nose. It's sus for sure.
The sphinx was not European. They were African. Arabs and greeks came to Egypt and changed the population during the new kingdom.
The replicas were probably created by Eurocentric people and not the original ancient Egyptians themselves

It is your supremacist tendencies that renders you incapable of reasoning with any refutation of your sources which have painted your race as superior in all account. It isn't surprising that you easily believe without question those sources of history which paints pictures of history to butter the ego of your race while retarding others, yet you ridicule with ease any source that provides refutations to your acclaimed knowledge of history. The joke is truly on you. While you think smart of yourselves, the truth is; you are simply in the shackles of intellectual poverty.
What an incredibly ironic and ignorant display I have stumbled on here.

Great talk. He's moved me to learn more. Rattling round my head was the thought : "
it's not black versus white, or women versus men. Outlined by the opression after the Haitian revolution, it's greed and power versus ordinary people. Greed and power are colourblind."
We would see all people as our own, and pull together to keep the power in check. To fortify this belief we need to educate ourselves.
Matt Chapman No, if it was just that , the Atlantic slave trade would’ve had poor people of other races on it. I hate when white people do what you did...tried to take the blame of the evil, that is slavery, off of the white man. No it was about Race and money and power.
NOne I’m not a comment bot. Lol. Whatever that is.🙄. What I was referring to what’s that his conclusion was that it was greed and power vs the ordinary people. And it’s not. It WAS about race and it is still about race. It’s not over. Now, if I misunderstood what he said, let me know respectfully, but don’t be rude to me again by calling me names...asshole....
NOne You called me a comment bot and doesn’t expect me to get defensive?? Really? 🙄
NOne We black people don’t want you to be color blind. We hate it when other races say that they don’t see color. We WANT you too see our color. We love being black! But we want other races to see our color and respect it . That’s all. Being colorblind is an insult to us it’s like trying to make our color invisible and like everyone else.
NOne I’m talking about the majority. No one can speak for ALL. But if you like people trying not to acknowledge your blackness just so they will fit you in somewhere that’s your prerogative. There’s black people accepting all kinds of crap just to feel like they’re accepted by others. So, yeah. Do you man.

Thanks for commenting, I was able to find out that you had a channel, keep it up. Gambian 🇬🇲 / 🇺🇸
Mauritania, Cartridge - what these Europeans called the Barbary states cause they didn't speak their corrupt Latin. Dido, who was a Phoenician Canaanite, black woman from Tyre, Sidon established Cartridge with along with black Hebrews. Contrary to the corrupt wiki, she wasn't a European, Greek. A lot of the Arab & Hebrew moors came out of this region. Hannibal, who was originally from Libya - then it was all black people. These same people from this region not only conquered the Iberian Peninsula also moved into the Isles of Briton, Ireland, Wales, Scotland. Here they were now called Silures. When they went there they saw the first inhabitants of those islands Eutherians, Minoans. These people were also black, descendants of Japheth. These are just a few, I left out a lot regarding where you're from. You've to interrogate your history by using old books to learn the truth. Most of these contemporary books after the first world war are filled with lies. FYI. Europeans are not white, they're red, let's get that on the record. Black people are not black - various shades of brown. Plus, so-called blacks are actually groups of nations, Hamites, Cushites, Hebrews, Phut etc. Anyway, the Redman put their faces n into our books to suppressed African excellence n pushed his lies to brainwash the world cuz of his anxiety, fear knowing that we ruled them for a thousand years in Europe.
I am one of these people who are not familiar with your country
We Greeks named your country, too. Mauros in my language, Greek, means Black. An other other name for a nearby area was Abyssinia from the other Greek word, Abyss ( the Dark chasm you can't even count ). Anyway, this guy is not be taken seriously as he touches Greeks to tell his story. Many did that. Whoever wants to create history of his own, uses us, the Greeks. I mean, Φck you at the end of the day. You don't even know who we are and what we did. The other fairytale: we all come from Africa 🤣

One of my (few) black friends sent me this video, which I just watched. Was amazed (as a relatively well educated and informed white person) that I knew not one iota of the history Akala presented. Why? Really big question that I believe all white people (and black as well) should ask. Favorite quote: I find a lot of solace in reading, a lot of solace in acquiring great information. Its not just about therapy. Its about learning these things to inform action. As John Henrik Clarke says: "History is a map which tells people where they've been and where they need to go. History is a clock on which people tell their cultural, political and sociopolitical time of day."
Well-educated where? This is easily recognizable drivel.
Absolutely, we need to teach our kids and the next generation better. Not just in European nation but in the African continent as well. Our education is nothing but an echo of colonial nonsense
💯
Because it's not actually true.. No-one has questioned his lack of DNA proof?. There's little to no Black African DNA in over 90 mummified samples over a 1200 year period, from 3 different dynasties. It's damn near all Near Eastern/Levantine DNA.. The reason you knew not one iota of the 'history' Akala presented, is because it's all in his head.. edition.cnn.com/2017/06/22/health/ancient-egypt-mummy-dna-genome-heritage/index.html
Noses were not smashed off Egyptian statues because of their African looks, they were smashed off as a snub to the society, culture and gods.. What is it with people just taking this guys word for it?

+Adam Adams interesting approach to a free education. Troll so people try to teach you the error in your ways. Well, I don't mind falling for it. It seems you don't even know your white version of New Zealand history yet you choose to talk about it as if you do. When the whites first arrived they saw these 'cannibals' as civilised themselves and so chose to live alongside them at first. This was for many reasons, but even if you take the most cynical view of the situation you can see that the settlers were not superior. Having superior status is contextual and at the time the settlers were not. It seems that even as cannibals the people indigenous to New Zealand were deemed good enough to live alongside. This decision was made by the colonists themselves. You also don't seem to have an answer as to how you think all the whites in New Zealand are going to be killed.
This is just really great, and yes, this guy should talk in schools and in documentaries. It's the most education I have received in an hour ever.

legba eshu While I would agree that for millenia racism was an accepted cultural standard, it is *not* accepted at this point.
Unfortunately I slightly get the feeling that Akala has a bias which is rooted in racism. Whether white supremacist or black supremacist (or Chinese supremacist)... it shouldn't be acceptable.
I do feel that it's very important to criticise racism very strongly, and that tolerating racism from victims of racist oppression is a form of endorsement of racism. There have been elements of the "black power" movement which are extremely racist. It should also be noted that the post-colonialism legacy of racist ideology resulted in the Rwanda genocide... where the hutu and tutsi groups (both west african) were erroneously convinced that they were separate races. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutu_Power
The whole question of what race (or ethnicity) ancient Egyptians were is a red herring - suggesting that their social organisation and technological advancement was genetic in basis is a *rotten* and *false* argument.
Black supremacism is just as much of a problem to my mind as white supremacism, and is represented by toxic groups such as the Nation of Islam, who have a bizarre and ideological rewriting of history to suit their political goals.
your comment is the only hatred comment i've read
hmmmmm
Weareallbeingwatched That's just complete rubbish! In no way shape or form did Akala suggest some sort of racial superiority. If anything he highlights the FACT that race is a social construct buttress by centuries of puedo science and a deliberate rewriting of history. Now the're certainly people racially classified as "black" who engage in an racist ideology based on the amount of melanin in one skin, but these outliers don't hold public office due in part because they don't believe in participating in the political process and thus have little to no actually POWER and INFLUENCE in shaping public policy. Unlike the white supremacist. Can you see the distinction between the two extremes? They just talk and talk and talk. I suggest you address them directly instead of projecting your lazy assumptions onto this scholar. Good day sir.
Why does it of a sudden become contentious when a person of colour refutes white or western supremacy? Why is it so convenient to contend a refuting view as nonsensical bias when half the sources you read in any school history text book in the west contains whitewashed bias of history? Does it damage your history-massaged ego as a being of superior race, as painted by the misguiding history sources you were provided with in school curriculum?
this should be compulsory viewing in secondary schools
Everything about this video is pure bullshit base on Zero competant research ... like he say himself he as a 100% narative driven agenda he aint a man of truth or Science 18:78 He pretend Museum will display " Nefertiti " because she was more " NON AFRICAN LOOKING " Yet Nefertiti daughter of Akhenaton Egyptian pharaoh reigning circa 1353-1336 BC, and Nefertiti lived 1370 - c. 1330 BC 16:37 Here once again he lied ... Ramsees III or 3 actually reigned from 1186 to 1155 BC wich is almost 200 years after Akhenaton aka ( the sun worshipper pharaoh) adn century after his daughter Nefertiti wich compleatly defeat his arguments ... ALso the Picture he show off isnt the true representation of Ancient egypt races .. you have a copy and paste two time of the Nubian while the original of this as 1 Nubian black , 1 Asian white , 1 Libyan white , and 1 egyptian "redish tanned "and woman depicted as yellowish while nubian woman as dark brown and nubian males as Dark black ... These " race image " were found in Seti I tomb wich reign between with whithin the range of 1294 BC to 1279 BC or 1290 BC to 1279 BC wich again would still be holder than Ramsees III reign .. all his THeory are bollucks and the picture he show of the race as been taken from a black supremacist website propagandist ... LOOK UP all the information i have given and search in egyptology work and you will see this guy is full of shit and dont know anything of what he talk about .... Every piece of evidence we have about race proove that Egyptian were neither black african Neither white european neither Asian .. they were most likely metiss or well Mediteranean ? but their features and skin complextity was a thing ... also after the conquest of Nubia .. Nubia black have indeed adopted the cultural and way of life of the egyptian and became powerfull wich should make him happy prooved that " black african " were as capable as non black or at least partially non black egyptian .. Nubians also ruled as pharaoh for about a century but then loose power ...etc..etc.. then centurys after that Egyptian loose to persian then to roman and so on

The way this man articulates his points is exceptional. It's not offensive to those who usually are by Black excellence nor is it boisterous chest thumping often seen by poorly spoken partly informed people who wish to to convey what Akala does. His sarcasm is well placed and timed as he demonstrates the hypocrisies in racist ideology using history and fact with his comparative format. We can't have it both ways.

@@ringtail1410 general gist of video and actually saying he's oppressed is , two different things, try sticking to facts, instead of an opinion that is far from the truth, try basing your comments on what actually was said, and not made up, because if your trying to pretend to be as knowledgeable as akala, your way off the mark,
Was really good to hear him in HIDDEN COLORS series.
I have learned more in this 1:16:34 than I have learned in the 47+ years I have lived on this earth which includes more than 16+ years of secular education.
"You can't claim ignorance on someone who is genuinely ignorant, but you can if someone has been taught something and still claim ignorance"
Mmmm.mmmm.mmmm indeed

@Whisper-that truth-shss correct but I'm guessing he meant taught correctly, then they have no way of claiming ignorance, that is how I interpreted it, but your point is a valid, at the end of the day, it come down to individual perception and interpretation and who influences them!
@Whisper-that truth-shss same goes for you, the way I see it, people find it easier to let others think for them in modern society rather than researching and listening to people, and by doing that they hinder the chances of society moving forward! They just resort to saying things like "educate yourself" which immediately disenfranchises people from the discussion, causing further divisions! You too stay safe 👍
@Whisper-that truth-shss you are very much correct, I hope change comes I really do! Stay safe friend stay hopeful 👍
This lecture is awesome! I enjoyed the thought provoking information about Africa’s history.
I was disappointed that the camera person chose not to zoom in on the visuals that Akala provided on the tall screen. Clearly Akala wanted everyone to see the screen because the visuals were an important part of the overall lecture, and they were referenced often. The camera person zoomed in on Akala multiple times (so the capability was available). So, why not zoom in on the slides…
hmmm 🤔
this was so beautiful... I truly appreciate this video!!
My children will speak with such eloquence, and have that amount of passion and knowledge for their history.
Amen.
Your children: "meh"

He doesn't pronounce his 't' properly.
@@joshuasole5989 yeah, he does. It's his accent. He comes from a part of London that has a very specific accent. There are quite a few accents in London. Across the UK there are LOADS of different accents. Go and have a listen. And it's 'T's not 't'!
Oxford Union should have filmed the slides too. This is very frustrating trying to imagine what the lecturer is talking about.
Buy you some glasses and a hearing
Minne Lee What?
@@TheHoodmailbox lol
goes to show u at one of the greatest universities they still don't have the wherewithal to do something as simple as film or zoom in on the slides. people are so tickled with ivy league and academic prowess, yet the slides didn't get zoomed in on or filmed....such an egregious oversight.
@@sonquatsch8585 just makes you question who really knows what they're doing lol...
I come back to this at least once a year, such a great talk
I actually think it is terrible th-cam.com/video/B--gQVANKCE/w-d-xo.html
You just cannot ignore how hard the host tried to look over the black guy raising his hand. That was awkward as fuck and ironic of course.
+Muna Hassan He didn't try...He successfully looked over him lol
+Muna Hassan I think the black guy who put his hand up is a member of the union committee so the interviewer probably wanted to give people who wouldn't otherwise have had the opportunity to speak to akala a chance to ask questions
+Eleanor Vine I'm not sure about that. He didn't acknowlege him at all
+Bromley By Bow lol okay east london
+Muna Hassan My sister's name is Muna Hassan. :-)
I am a 20 year old black male, and this was very enlightening. #StayWoke
Funkadelic-Mothership, continue your education. Afrofuturism is not a new invention, we're remembering who we are
@WAFFEN COLLIDER Have you never heard of colonialism? Have you ever heard the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence? Do you have anything to say from yourself, or are you just repeating 'facts' that you yourself had no part in the verification of?
It's silly to think that 90 people in a graveyard couldn't represent but a small proportion of the population. The proportion that was mummified. The elite. The COLONIZERS. Use your head, and try not to reply with another link. I'm curious if you understand logic. Besides, Egypt goes back another 2,000 years before this.
Also, to hoist you on your own pitard: "90 mummies buried between 1380 bc, during Egypt’s New Kingdom, and ad425"
You serious? 90 corpses from a stretch of 1800 years proves anything? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA STAY IN SCHOOL, KIDS.
@Bo Pick Notice how I give examples and back it up with reason. You just cry and call me a liar. I wonder who has the authority of intelligence and research here? HMMMM.
@Bo Pick Others? You mean white people? So you're giving me a race here, eh? and that's relevant to your argument?
Are you seriously basing your assertion on the skin colour you've decided I have? It's the internet and besides, there's only one human race, you goof. If your whole point revolves around somebody's skin colour, you have no ground to stand on, you just look racist.
I'd love to see you try to prove one "lie" authoritatively.
@Bo Pick You're delusional and racist. You have said nothing you can back up with your own words. Do you have your own thought-out opinion, or do you need to borrow someone else's brain to come up with one? Want to link something else that proves you can't think for yourself?
Notice how I'm not calling you a liar? I'm not reducing myself to your tactics, making shit up, I'm calling you what you are, delusional.
The burden of truth is on you. You can say I'm lying all day long, but the burden of truth is on you to prove it. If you can't, well, you're just proving me right by showing the weakness of your position. And I mean prove it in a couple sentences, not through a video or article someone else wrote. I'd be amazed if you had an opinion and it was more developed than a caveman's. Please, amaze me.
I tell ya...the polarization that videos like these always seems to draw out of people is quite telling.
Black people where definitely here first! My question is, where did white oriole spawn from?
Thank You Akala... I hope more people find the courage to share their knowledge. And I was born in Zimbabwe, Bulawayo then lived in Harare till age 9 then came to Manchester UK. But even as a child I felt how special/magical a place Zimbabwe is. Seeing the stone carvings and statues. I wish I could see the slides. You and Chakabars make my IG timeline worth watching lol xx
+Adam Adams that already happened when it was colonised in the late 19th century by an Englishman.
+B Apps Yes and they have all been kicked out now, I'd know as some of my neighbours are white zimbabweans, the country has also gone to shit now.
+NO because of illegal sanctions by Imperialist UK and America, thank God for China and Russia for their support.
+Adam Adams Unfortunately white AngloSaxons always seek to suck the blood and resources whenever they come to Africa, they show a lack of respect and seek to impose white supremacist rule on the majority. So yeah, history proves it has not been a good idea.
+NO They got kicked out because they wanted to impose white supremacist minority rule whilst hording all of the resources and making the lives of the native rightful people of Zim their servants...I hope you are not a butt-hurt closet racist EDL thug!
