There's was no such thing as 'American' slavery + Mailbag episode

Show notes
Following on from last week's episode about reparation Kehinde breaks his usual rules and opens up the Twitter comments. As expected there was some backlash from the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) and Foundational Black Americans (FBA) to the notion that Africa has a reparations claim due to the damage done to the continent due to slavery.
While he would usually avoid the 'White noise' in the comments, he felt he had to address the delusions coming from Black folk. After all, Malcolm told us that we need a 'programme of political re-education'. Join him as he explains why he took the step over going into the comments and addresses the terrible ideas that he came across.
He also opens up the mailbag and answers listeners questions. The last pod of every month will be a mailbag so leave your questions in the comments or email mip@blackunity.org.uk
