Episode Description:
The tragic and brutal death of George Floyd at the hands of police officer Derrek Chauvin, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, is still fresh in everyone's minds. Nevertheless, what has captivated the media in the days that followed has been the resultant outcry by protesters who, in search of racial justice, flooded the streets. Since then, this outcry for justice has reverberated and spread, not only across the US, but around the world, with protests slowly morphing into riots and being hijacked by cynics, who wish to wreak havoc upon an already weakened and fragile system. 

Youssef and Ahmed are joined by Mofe Onuwaje, a Law Student at the University of Durham and a friend who, in the wake of the events, sought to arrange a discussion on the issues at hand. The discussion delves into various topics, ranging from the specifics of George Floyd's brutalisation, to the reality vs lived experience of institutional racism, to the values and methods of Black Lives Matter movement, and, finally, to the problems with the ideology underlying anti-racism.
