Akala on knife-crime

Rapper and activist Akala speaks to Good Morning Britain about knife crime in the UK and says the crimes can’t be explained simply by race. Some excellent points made, such as: “Where young black boys over-achieve, is race offered as an explanatory factor? … It’s almost as if, a black person does something negative, the entire so-called black community is to blame. A black person does something positive and they suddenly regain their humanity and their right to be regarded as an individual.”
