Colonialism - Akala Song (Maangamizi)

[StarStriker]

Hey guys, PLEASE listen to this AMAZING song, to which i was introduced to by 1 of my cousins recently, so credit to him.

Since there has been several discussion in the past week about british colonisation in panjab and india as a whole on this forum, and talks of ww1, ww2, anglo sikh wars etc. I thought it wud be fitting to present this video, n show the parallells of wat "intelligence" and barbaric acts were committed on black/african ppl, and the tactics used to conquer s.asia. The song is by a very very intelligent and profound british rapper called 'Akala'. I'll post the lyrics up as well, as id imagine the non-british posters on here, wont understand everything that is said in the song. The pictures in the video, also help to understand fully the message conveyed here by akala.

BTW, ' Maangamizi', is a Swahili expression which translates as Destruction.

The lyrics to this superb song, can be found here. http://genius.com/Akala-maangamizi-lyrics

Forget the song. Akaala at his best was on Frankie Boyle's Election Special earlier this year. One of the best pieces of television in years.

However, I have to tell those of you that think he has anti-islamic credentials that he most certainly does not. The man is a champion of the rights of all non-white people and as such has been an outspoken champion of defending Muslims from anti-islamic hate.

Anyway, here he is at his very best on Frankie Boyle's show. Particularly love the way he points out the truth about Australia. How our government is citing their 'points based' system as the example to follow in immigration. Akaala points out how nobody should ever be following Australia as an example for anything non-racist when only 30 years ago Australia didn't even recognise the black man as a human being. According to Australia, his rights were to be found under the Flora and Fauna Act !!!
