As an African, history can be a harsh realisation of where society has failed black people, yet we don’t seem to take heed of these lessons – both black people and the wider society. Today, whether driven by moral disengagement, a zero-sum mentality, or a saviour complex we choose to be complacent in pushing for meaningful change.
For all, the reparations to get us to a more equitable society are both internal and external, so Sean and I discuss what black people owe themselves and what meaningful allyship means. We touch on the issues of social activism, from empty platitudes, virtual signalling, to the lack of empathy that seems to be prevalent. We also discuss the social movement #BlackOutTuesday and protests for police reform in America.
