WHY DOES AKATA EXIST? GODFREY...?‼️🤔

This guy Akbar Gbajabiamila is the perfect example of how others… Whites, Latinos, even BLACK #immigrants etc—can grow up with Black Americans, be “close” w/ some Black Americans, and STILL be bigoted toward Black Americans. Akbar Gbajabiamila defends the word #Akata.

Tether is a description of an immigrant that undermines and disrespects Black Americans culture, all while imitating it, benefiting from it and trying to find out how to get deeper into it to figure out how they can fully take advantage of it.

@BelindaMac28842 He’s a liar. I asked a Nigerian doctor that I’m pretty cool with what it means and he said jealous, hateful Naija folks call us stray cats or a wild homeless cat because we don’t connect with them. The doc isn’t a tether. He said if we hear it, slap the taste out of their mouths.

I don't use the term "tether," but Van ate his azz up.

I didn’t like all the tap dancing the guest was doing but he ate like a mf on that play. Africans, are blind asf to reading body language and social errors, which might explain their ugly faces they make and loud noises but Akbar holds strong disdain toward Black Americans.

They absolutely rehearsed this back and forth. Dude haphazardly explained what it means and hen Van responds by saying 'tether' means the same thing. I thought he was gaslighting Van but actually they're BOTH gaslighting the audience. Smh.

It’s rooted in jealousy. They created a slur for black Americans. Thats weak shit.

@206SEA_ They have one for Caribbeans too they just hide it

Look at his face when Godfrey disagreed with him

The cohost showed his true colors in this episode

Why are blacks always fighting. You never see a white European vs White American. We don’t have terms for each other. Blacks just love being tribal

This is the biggest lie on earth if that’s the case what the hell is Ukraine and Russia doing as we speak?

@KNielsen91299 So Europe serves as the perfect epitome and inspiration for your hatred against people that look like you. Because Europe is doing it, it’s only right that you do it.

@BlackAndNative1 @KNielsen91299 Every time you smash one of these fallacies, they move the goalpost, spin the narrative or present alternative facts. There's no reasoning with these pigskin devils

@BlackAndNative1 @KNielsen91299 What fallacies?Black Americans always shift the goalpost. She rightly called out anti-Blackness among Black Americans in the U.S & noted that whites & Asians don't fight among themselves here,but the brain dead black American deflected to Europe, changing the subject frm America.

@BlackAndNative1 @KNielsen91299 He proved her statement was incorrect...which basically destroyed the entire argument but go off. Yt Russians are killing yt Ukrainians, yt Americans that volunteered for the International Legion thus you both are full of shit...like always.

@BlackAndNative1 @KNielsen91299 Aren’t you just an ignorant fool? She said, You don’t see Europeans in America fighting white Americans, but Black Americans are busy fighting Africans & nonBlack American Blacks. Her point stands. He’s deflecting with Russia/Ukraine. You just hate hearing the truth.

@fbatre29399 @KNielsen91299 When have you ever seen Black Americans killing any ethnic group just because? The answer is never 👎🏿 stfu that’s not how we rock but white people that’s a different story yall don’t discriminate for blood money since your existence tell me I’m lying goofy‼️🫵🏿🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

I fuk with Van but Tether and Akata are not the same. Tether is specific to a certain action an idividual displays towards a certain group. Akata is a word applied to a GROUP they arent trying to distinguish someones personsloty. Its your not a continental african.

Akata means wild beast. It is a xenophobic slur used by African immigrants. It is how they described black ppl after their early experiences in the hoods and ghettos of America during the first wave of immigration from Africans.

@Summer_Reignzz He thought Van was a dummy.

@Summer_Reignzz Van is slightly pan African if you see the whole interview‼️

@Summer_Reignzz He definitely is. He just stood on business in this instance.

The difference is your born an "akata" no one is born a "tether" you become one through your actions and words.

The Albar dude just started lying just like the girl brother did to him lol

Africans caught and SOLD other tribes to Europeans. So if people are 'disconnected ' who is responsible for that,🤔🤔🤔

Are yall paying attention

I'll give @GodfreyComedian credit for telling the truth. His homeboy on some fuck shit.

@206SEA_

You people are not mentally okay , akate is what we call people who live abroad in most part of Nigeria , even our uncles and aunts who use to live within our communities in Nigeria and moved to Europe or the US when they come back we call them Akate as well .

Everyone has a slur for everyone. Were you guys born yesterday? 😂 people do this to people they don’t like. So yes a Jamaican can be cool with you but call another black American a piece of shit. You know, regular everyday life. It all depends if you’re funny or not. Have you guys not been to any comedy shows?? Even Eddie Murphy made fun of Africans and it was hilarious! Do I really have to explain life to you all? Are not alive right now? I’m so confused. What’s new here? Give your parents and grandparents props. When you see them tell them that they were much tougher than the generations today. People are too miserable today

So let’s see , Africans use the term , Akata. FBA use terms like,African booty scratcher, jungle bunny, bushman. Haitian boat people , freshie,etc. Talk about the tea pot calling the kettle black!

When 763 yt men kicked the door into their country laid everybody down ran through their pocket and left them with bibles skin lightening cream and pride you can clearly see that pride is all they have that's why they're so stuck up and stoic because that's all they have

Was Van hollering at a African girl or African guy? His story got me confused. Yeah he at akadoodoo’s lunch on this one.

⚠️@BlackAndNative1 Some Africans are Cool, but this is why YOU can NEVER Trust Colonized 3rd World Fleeing African Tether Parasites En Masse bcuz they are STILL Colonized in the Brain to view Whites as Superior & will DISRESPECT us & cut our thoat to Please their White Zaddy‼️🤷‍♂️

Why we’re acting like we never called African all types of names. This shit is so F lame. The Jim Crow law it’s working just as planned.

He was throwing hella micro aggressions out there and u can tell he be watching Tariq nasheed videos

2 things can be true at once. It’s no different than trying to explain to an older black person why we say nigga. They have a different relationship with the term.

Why doesn’t he just tell the damn truth and tell us what we know it means. He needs to stop tap dancing around it. This is another major reason that the delineation is occurring. We can’t trust y’all.

The guy Akbar really needs therapy. He is so traumatized. He over talks & lies.....anyone including Godfrey can't even speak at times when he feels a person is going to say something in opposition to him that supports Black Americans....Van had to rethink his wordiing so much in this interview to avoid hurting his feelings, it was exhausting to watch. I hate that he did that...Every since Godfrey gave him the business on that one show about immigrants he as surcome to Akbars running of the show and it have not been a good look for Godfrey ever since.

People use it the same way they use yankee boys, IJGB boys. It means people from abroad. Nigerians like anything from abroad. They love akata boys, yankee boys, foreign boys and things from foreign land. Akata can mean other things but in Nigeria it means abroad or foreign.

Based off the fumbles and bumbling in the comments Van was right.

Maker of this video just did the same thing he’s accusing them of but having a word for well spoken blacks which is called shocking and jiving and tap dancing and he actually show a guy tap dancing.

Funny how some black Americans like to “victimize” themselves, y’all know they called Africans “bootyscratchers” ask any Africa that schooled in America how they were bullied but the moment Africans create a slang for them, they chose to victimize themselves when it’s just slang
