He's one of the few "celebrities" alive today who I would just be absolutely honored to meet in person. And there are only probably two or three who I'd care to. Akala is just such a real, amazing, and positive man--I'm a better person because of just knowing he exists.

Precisely. Even in the UK, when a particular standard of living is fairly consistent across a community, you tend to see a much greater community spirit - i suspect because theres much more of a sense of 'were all in this together'. 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.

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. Police , CID …even mainstream know what’s happening here but tout corrupt information to hide how bad the issues are. I am making media about it. When organised crime found out ? Sighted for court ?

He had trouble getting past the idea that the crimes committed by these people is no way linked to their blackness, but admitted that he would never consider the role of race when trying to explain the rates of knife crime in Glasgow.

I dont think it is as simple as Akala is making out. People were materially poorer in the east end during the pre-windrush years and they weren't stabbing each other at the same rates as they are in London today. Anybody who has been to Jamaica or has any basic understanding of West Indian culture knows that this is partly a consequence of that culture. If you dont believe me just go step on a Jamaican's shoe and see what happens. Im not being a racist - it is just a cultural observation.

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

One thing certain sections of the black community don't credit towards our failings in single parent households and absent fathers in the home. Strong, male role models and active parenting is the solution. Stop promoting baby-mama and baby-daddy culture and encourage marriages will be our saving grace to provide stability in the home. The statistics support this and please do not reply aserting your feelings.

Single parent households and absent fathers are not a uniquely "black" issue and the majority of single parent households do not produce criminals. Poor argument thats been dismantled over and over again 🙄

@dr3armer stats, facts and numerous sources of data will support that black households are largely single-parent mothers and those children who land in the prison system come from these homes. No getting away from it and I'll repeat, the promotion of such structures needs to stop and 2 parent families will be the saving grace.

@@GodmadeTrends: Are you able to provide a tangible solution to the topic in question that’s backed by data/empirical evidence. Akala has done that through citing Glasgow and other data points. You haven’t. FYI he mentioned black kids in Ghana because a central focal argument during the debate was race being an explanatory factor. Instead of critiquing his argument on a fictional agenda that you’ve plucked out of thin air please provide something more tangible. If you can’t then you’re bringing nothing to table with respect to solving the topic but rather opinions and judgments on Akala’s character.

@@dylan120190what social indicators? He actually contradicted himself. When he spoke about Ghana being one of the poorest yet peaceful in the world. Now he’s using it as an excuse, all he does is deflect to other places to try skate around the facts that we black people need to accept accountability for this problem and stop trying to compare it to other cities or act as if it’s not actually what it’s being made out to be. Knife and gun crime has been a serious problem within the community for a few decades and it’s getting worse.

Akala tells you what you wanna hear but dresses it up as truth. But he’s like an agent, he’ll make you feel good, while not providing any solutions. These kind of people are dangerous, because he will never tell us to be accountable, instead he’ll deflect and blame everything else. The end result is our problems continue or get worse, while he’s still revered as a hero. Because he speaks the “truth”.

London is one of the most diverse cities in the world, 36% white british, 20% asian, 13% black, and loads of other ethnicities Homocide rate per 100k: 1.3 Glasgow is 88% white, so pretty homogeneous homicide rate per 100k: 3.1 Glasgow’s figure was way higher back in the 1990s and 2000s as Akala mentioned, which made it the murder capital of Europe, while London has remained the same for decades Even more so Manchester, 75% white and homicide rate :12 per 100k, also being higher in the past
