Recorded June 10, 2021. Adam and Peter begin this episode by talking about the Ethiopia-Tigray crisis. Then they talk about Germany recognizing its genocide in Namibia and paying the Namibian government over $1 billion in "reconciliation," even though the victims are demanding financial reparations and their land back. Adam explains why this is a crucial lesson for reparations for African-Americans in the United States. They end the episode by discussing the pandemic.
