Akala perfectly calls out racial double standards
Making his point clearer, the The Fire In The Booth hitmaker addressed Piers and said: ‘You will never be called upon to explain that not all white middle aged men are paedophiles, despite the fact that hundreds maybe thousands of them are convicted of sex offences every year.Piers replied: ‘That’s a fair point.’
The controversial host then went on to ask Akala about possible solutions to ‘young violence’ and how he thinks it can be stopped.The activist looked upon what had happened in Glasgow over the past couple of years and suggested: ‘Coming into family’s lives and young people’s lives and diverting them away from violence as young as possible.’
The star later added: ‘I think mandatory self defense in schools could be a solution. Not because you’d teach anyone to face down people carrying knives.‘However, when you practice self defense it gives you a level of self confidence.’ Drawing from personal experience, he continued: ‘I work in schools a lot and I see a number of essentially “good boys” carrying knives out of fear.
