Pariah Nation

Listen into our discussion today as we find out the truth about the DRC and its long history of exploitation.

Welcome to the first episode of Pariah Nation's 13th Season. We aim to discuss topics that are affecting the African continent on this podcast in both a historical and modern sense. In today's podcast, we discussed the ICC's disproportionate focus on the African continent and what this means for the continent at large.  

In this episode, we sat down with the Pariah Nation all time favorite @douglabwoy to discuss Black representation in the media. We also looked at how media outlets can push narratives of colorism and racism.

In this episode, we tackled the main objections against taking down the statues of people who participated in the transatlantic slave trade and the enterprise of colonialism in the late 1800s. I specifically make the case for the removal of the statue of Thomas Picton from City Hall in Cardiff.

In this episode, we unpacked the pressing topic of colorism on the African continent and in the diaspora as well as how it affects self esteem, health and generational beauty standards.

In this episode we brought a range of speakers to discuss the fragility of the terms POC and BAME as well as how relationships between these groups have manifested around the world over time. We also critically analysed the use of those terms and where it should be appropriate to use them.

Let's dive into this uncomfortable question together and discover the nuance behind theories of race, systemic power and more to learn about if Black people possess the systemic means to oppress other races and if so, which ones. We also discussed the major difference between racism and racial prejudice.

We revisited the topic of anti-Black racism in the Muslim community as well as pointing out the nuances in the discourse surrounding it. Moreover, we looked at the different ways in which white reverts are favored over Black reverts mainly due to the recent events on Tik Tok. Hope you enjoy!

A very heated episode but a very facts based one as well. Listen in to learn more about the farm murders, apartheid and the long lasting effects of segregation in South Africa. Our guests this week are Yanga Malotana (assistant lecturer and student at the University of Pretoria) and Sascha Wharton-Hood (campaigner against racial inequality and gender based violence and a general activist).

Scholar Felwine Sarr estimates that there are 438,000 ancient African artifacts in European museums. Our episode takes a general look at these artifacts and also focuses on the story of the Benin bronzes as well as the controversy surrounding them. Find out more about where they are and what’s being done to get them back in our new episode.
