I found out about this “hidden history” of the word Akata and what it actually means. The author and publishers explains that the Black Panthers went to Africa, Nigeria. And the people start calling them Akata, because they were the Black Panthers.
Yorùbá Lessons with Adérónkẹ́ explains the meaning of the word: Akata, on her channel.

Don't bother.
None of these nikkas have ever heard this word or been insulted or attacked by an African in their lives. Tariq Nasheeds own video editor and closest business partner is Nigerian if I'm not mistaken. The whole "Africans come here to hate on us and steal our reesources" is just a shallow talking point they push again and again to justify their own insecure and misplaced vitriol towards a desired scapegoat.
They are insane enough to build their entire political views and worldviews from what they're told by internet cliques that make them feel important.
It makes more sense when you realize these hashtaggers are not a gang of passionate historians honoring their ancestors, its a bandwagon of classic weak c00ns who simply and genuinely believe every white supremacist trope they were taught about Africans being inherently intellectually, physically, and culturally inferior people. We was all taught the same shyt growing up about Africa and Africans but some of us had the courage, self-love, and the critical thinking skills to fight these false stereotypes, take pride in who we truly are, and aspire to improve the world we live in. Others didn't have that strength and have probably been spitting that corny Black conservative "I'm not African American, I'm an American" c00n speech all their lives. Until they finally found some grifting pseudo intellects being secretly paid by white power interest group who can articulate their racist self hatred for Africa it in a way that's makes their venom look validated.
This is the reason why the hashtags went from protesting Democrats ahead of important elections in the name of multi trillion dollar lump sum reparations to bourgeois spiels calling Africans leeching savages with bad hairline and ashy fingers, incapable of "fixing" or running their own countries.
This is the reason why these hashtaggers can be all Gung ho about keeping African immigrants from coming to their country with all this politically charged, fake intellectual vitriol about anti-black American views, and then turn around and show their whole asses being apologists for Republican conservative cacs like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Children of racist ass German and Italian immigrants, who had nothing to with the founding of this country, wouldn't spit on a black man if they were on fire unless they see some personal gain, and openly say everything about black Americans they claim Africans do. Every bit as eager to take earned and needed resources away from African Americans as they accuse Africans of being. You surely as fukk won't catch a rabid hashtag of "Foundational White Americans" smearing them for no reason and supporting all-American Joe Biden. And no problem with these immigrant cacs with the power to change the laws we live by from the anti-black immigrant crusaders either. In fact they will step all over each other to defend them and support them and make weak deflections to Joe Biden and white liberals.
Because deep down they dont feel threatened by immigrants in their country, using resources, or coexisting with anti-black people in general. They're just cowards who are scared to fight white supremacy and directing their insecurities to an easier target. Naive cowards who cant think for themselves, can't be bothered to fight for anything meaningful, and internalized every white supremacist trope they were led to believe about Africa and Africans like weak puppy dogs. They are the descendants of house slaves who thanked the white man for civilizing them in America. It's pretty much all they repeat nowadays.
But lemme stop before one of these bitter ass bytch ass mods skips around every st0rmfr0nt cac-adjacent post in here calling people savages and leeches, and penalizes me for speaking against this embarrassing hate speech.
