he would say you left your mind in africa. you left your culture in africa. you left who you are in africa. i'm trying to -- do i sound a little bit like malcolm? so of course if you make the case to people they have left something somewhere and culturally and philosophically, he was urging them to go back there and get what you lost. and this was critical to him. this sort of cultural and philosophical return to africa was absolutely critical to malcolm x's ideas because he felt it was critical to black people developing a strong sense of what? yes? not just solidarity, but he wanted each and every individual black person -- he felt by them developing a more positive sort of viewpoint towards africa, they would develop a more positive viewpoint to what else? themselves. so he, of course, made that conceptual -- and of course that speed that we heard him give in one of his last speeches in 1964, he would make this point again and again. he of course in that speech and many speeches, he would -- even last week that run in which he said who taught you to hate y

we're not in africa. we've been talking about africans like we are not africans, right? so... so even that mentality of thinking of black africans from other parts of the world as, like, different to us, and is living elsewhere, that's a pervasive problem in our language. it doesn't mean we're going out and doing violence, but it means we have a social problem that we haven't addressed properly. applause. ok, thank you very much indeed. let's go to our next question. good evening, everyone. i just wanted to ask, if this is specifically an african tragedy, or are we experiencing it in the same vein in other parts of the world? trevor ncube. i think we are seeing a lot of xenophobia across the world. there's been a pushback with the fallout from globalisation, where people are beginning to get back to being more tribal and more ethnic than we have been before. but i think that difference is the degree with which violence is part of the afrophobia narrative in south africa. it's the sense that the south afri
