Akala's name is Kingslee Daley but his stage name is Akala. Dont see the point you're making. Ye is his stage name. Its a real name V stage name situation. Do you understand this concept?

So while his phrasing was awful, whites are far from the only guilty party.

As stagenames go, Akala is fine. It obviously either comes from the Jungle Book, or Cub Scouts.

But that's like saying " oh it wasn't all Hitler's fault" , utterly insensitive & mad.

Kanye was victim blaming . The slave trade may have been enabled,but what he said was ridiculous.

There was no "Hitler Figure" in the slave trade. It wasn’t just enabled by other Africans, it was actively driven by them. They're as to blame as the other participants.

That's not what he said ,and he plain blank ignored all the slaves who fought or who tried to fight back whilst dying.
