The last month has been difficult as the world has had to stare at racism in the face through the tragic and unwarranted deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery. For a lot of people, this is new, but for black people in the West and in countries like South Africa, this is the reality of what their lives could be reduced to or how their lives could end.
In this panel-style episode, Afua and the gang discuss the stories behind the most recent police brutality cases that blew across social media, how they are feeling, their thoughts and all. We discuss the systemic architecture that prevents police officers from being held accountable, the police in America as a racist institution, and the disconnect continental Africans and native Caribbean people are experiencing. We also discuss if and why we should care with all the things going on on the continent and the Caribbean islands.
