Wow people don’t like facts do they? Poverty, domestic abuse, lack of education. These are fixable problems, if the resources are directed. But it’s so much easier to live in fear and fund fear based solutions: cops, prisons, denial of benefits, that incidentally help make other people rich.

Hey thanks for the heads up, didn't know about him, he definitely can rap! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14YLoeXCk4k

I think this clip is from 2018, when the book was released. If I'm not mistaken it's this clip:

I just looked further and I think you’ve conflated two of his works. There’s the book Natives which isn’t about indigenous people on Turtle Island, but growing up as a young black man in England, and another one that has the subtitle “Race And Class In The Ruins Of Empire. He seems like a quite intelligent man, and I will be reading his books and checking out his music, so thank you.

At no point did I or he say that it was anything to do with indigenous Americans. If you'd watched the clip, you'd know he's British bi-racial - he says so himself.
By all means ask questions but don't claim to have "looked into it" when you clearly haven't even bothered to type a five letter word into Google. If you had, you would have known all of the above. I own a copy of the book in question, so I'm well aware of the title.

um, I was trying to tell you the same thing in the post. I did actually Google him, and learned.

No, you didn't.
