The definition of Akata- Acting suspicious and lying when you have no reason to lie. Making people suspect you for something when you did nothing wrong. An example of "Akata"ing would be not speaking when people ask you a question or yelling for no reason and getting worked up.
"Jesus Shelby, stop being such an Ataka and speak the truth already!"
"Man, Ben really pulled an Akata in that trial!""
""I know right, he needs to stop 'Akata'ing.""

Get the Akata mug.Contrary to popular belief, the word "akata" is not of Yoruba origin.
At least, the Yoruba meaning "white bitch" does not convey the meaning intended because "akata" was not introduced by Yorubas to describe black americans. How could they call both men and women "white bitch" when the subjects are all black? The answer is they did not call them that. More than a dozen african languages have the word "akata" but with diffirent meanings. So every language with that word can claim "akata" is its.
The Ibos introduced the word "akata," which means literarily "to become stronger, to be emancipated" to describe the black american attitude, experience, and character - "we used to be slaves, but now we are emancipated; we used to be weak, now we are stronger."
It is derogatory in a way because when the Ibos call them "akata" they say it to mean "that the black american has uncontainable, intimidating, or unpolished 'newly acquired strength.'"
That makes a lot of sense than calling them white bitch, whic they are not, because that is how we view the average black person.

Get the Akatsukitard mug.Contrary to most falsehood and lies put out here, akata isn't a Yoruba word, isn't in Yoruba lexicon and was never coined by the Yoruba people of nigeria, we do not take pride in coining derogatory terms for our fellow African Americans, Akata is an Igbo word coined by the Igbo people of south east nigeria (igboland), akata is also a place in Imo state south east nigeria (igboland). It's a term used by Igbo auther chinua Achebe and now used by Igbo americans as a derogatory term against African American women. Research for yourself on the words and origins and don't just rely on falsehood posted on the internet to covertly promote anti-yoruba sentiments.
Emeka called the African American woman an akata simply because she wouldn't act like his docile African wife.
