Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Adebisi from OZ) ran a WHITE SKINHEAD gang when he was younger.

[L&HH]

this is the interview where he says he didnt wanna be black so he joined skinhead

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/may/13/adewale-akinnuoye-agbaje-interview

He fought alongside his new skinhead comrades, who treated him at first like some brutalised pet to be unleashed in battle. "I was like a little dog that followed them around," he says.

"When a child wants to be accepted," he explains, "he'll do anything. And if it means you're getting a certain amount of notoriety from a fight, that's what you'll do. If all you've known is racism, abuse and persecution, then all of a sudden you're getting some recognition, that's your new drug. That's what you want. By the time I was 16 I was someone to reckon with. I was so eager to repudiate any connection with any immigrant race I would go above and beyond. I was desperate to belong to something. That was my drive as a teenager."

seems like you missing alot. It's not that he hated being black, it's just what he was nurtured into. You throw a little black boy into an all white, racist area and what do you think is going to happen. Either they'll kill him or they'll accept him as one of them.

So I did some digging and I saw this comment on guardian

'This is more or less the same childhood story as the writer Precious Williams whose memoir came out last year. That book was an eye opener. It seems a surprising number of British Nigerian kids coming up in the 70s and 80s had a similar start.'

So I googled 'Precious Williams' and found Precious Williams, daughter of a Nigerian princess, was raised by a white family in Sussex.

Why were all these Nigerians in the 70's and 80's dropping their kids with white working class people

read this article please(eye opening): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3620606/If-I-was-precious-why-did-she-send-me-away.html

even rich nigerians were doing it

The false Ideology of white supremacy probably had them convinced that having their children raised by whites would somehow validate them in society. or maybe they believed that their children will be better off...I don't know. The idea of dropping my kids off to be raised by whites is so fuccking bizarre and unsettling that I cant even rationalize it. That is extremely sad.

But how the heck did he keep that hat on his head....

It's a classic case of if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I haven't run into any in recent years, but back in those days 70s/80s you did get those few blacks who are so full of self hatred that they would go to extreme lengths to please the white populace. Maybe not as extreme as joining a white hate group (where they're just seen as a joke and obviously never seriously accepted), but totally disconnecting themselves from black culture altogether. We used to call them 'coconuts' back in the day. I've met a few who were strictly on that and dismissive and even somewhat hostile towards anything to do with black culture. I've known women who were adamant they didn't want their BLACK daughters dating black men and of course I've come across black men where the closest they've been to a black woman was when they were in the mother's womb.

Sounds like hes FULLY exaggerating that skin head story tbh.

More like three p*ssyhole whiteboys on his block that thought they where bout it, till he slapped them up with dry African palms

then he just sent them three whiteboys back and forth to the corner shop for haribos and supermalt on a weekly basis.

guy trying to talk like he ran some major skinhead organisation
