Kehinde Andrews

Kehinde Andrews, Britain's first professor of Black Studies, and historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo engage in a robust debate over slavery, reparations, and colonialism. Andrews argues that the harms of slavery persist, advocating for systemic reparations to benefit Black communities. Heydel-Mankoo counters that modern claims lack legal standing and emphasizes the idea that history's wounds have healed. The discussion explores the duality of colonial impacts, the notion of 'whiteness,' and whether historical injustices should dictate today's responsibilities.

Kehinde Andrews & Afua Hirsch discuss critical whiteness studies, the impact of black storytellers in mainstream narratives, navigating white spaces and the struggle for black identity, pleasure activism, the radical argument for black revolution, expectations on black people, the legacy of Mandela, and addressing discrimination within the NHS.

Kehinde Andrews, the UK's first professor of Black Studies, critiques the Enlightenment for its intrinsic racism and colonial roots. He argues that Enlightenment ideas of universal rationality are deeply entwined with structures of colonial violence. Andrews believes we should shift our focus from traditional Western thinkers to Black studies and voices like Malcolm X. He emphasizes the need for systemic change over individual reform to address racism and suggests building alternative institutions to create a more equitable future.

Debates on whether the Royal Family should pay reparations, controversial comments about Harry and Meghan, racial audience segregation in theaters, complexities of safe spaces for marginalized communities, and the increase in black voter support for a polarizing political figure.
