Have you ever been refused entry to a club because of the colour of our skin? If you're white the answer is probably no. If I asked you if you thought this was common practice in Irish bars and clubs you'd probably reply no to that too... well unfortunately, it is.
The tragic death of George Floyd sparked worldwide outrage and pushed the BLM movement back in the media spotlight. Racism is a global issue, not just an American issue, and while police brutality may be something that America specifically need to address, every single person around the world needs to ask themselves "am I part of the problem?"
In Ireland 'casual racism' is brushed off as 'harmless' but words are very powerful. For episode 2 I'm joined by Brandon Arrey, someone who I’ve been having conversations about race issues with for years. In this episode we discuss the Black lives matter movement, supporting the movement and the undercurrent of racism in Irish society. @brandonarr3y
