When an African uses the word Akatta, they are just referring to an African American in America. It’s not meant to be insulting however people can use it as an insult (as can other words). If you’re speaking your native language and you say the word to describe someone it simply just means an African American. Unless they're trying to be insulting, they will add words that are obviously not nice.
My friend is going to do my hair
“Oh nice where is she from”
“She’s Akatta and Carribean”
“Oh nice. Okay

akata can be translated to "stray cat" or "a cat who has strayed away from home".

i am Yoruba, and the word is not inherently derogatory or xenophobic as it does not pertain to any specific ethnicity, but like the word jareer, it is often used to discriminate or insult.

africans who move abroad and forget their cultures can be considered akata's and more commonly, aa's.

if you feel someone used this word against you in a xenophobic way, they probably did.
person 1: that's the akata. look at her, she doesn't even know how to speak her language.
person 2: she needs to find her way back home.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
