"There's No Such Thing as a Racist, There is Racism" - Kehinde Andrews

No guest this week, instead listen in for a Political Education feature from Kehinde Andrews (@Kehinde_Andrews). He highlights the difference between racially prejudiced people and racism, between individual racists and structural racism. "Racism is always systemic," says Kehinde, and if we don't get this we then misdiagnose the problem and come up with the wrong solutions like representation and DEI eg tackling racism in UK club football, and the achievement gap in UK and US higher education. It gets us nowhere.

Kehinde has a Malcolm X book out for Malcolm's 100th birthday in May 2025. The book's entitled. "Nobody Can Give You Freedom: The Real Mission of Malcolm X:

With money from the book Kehinde's also filming in New York on February 19, 20, and 21, around the 60th anniversary of Malcolm's assassination. The doc-film is about Malcolm's life and what he would say if he were here with us today. He's filming for the doc in New York. If you know any organization or people Kehinde can talk to, for the documentary, please email mip@blackunity.org.uk. Thank you.
