IN-DEPTH: Ama Burkoh & Nayonika Bhattacharya - What is the BLM movement? Systematic racism and how it relates to Indigenous Australians.

For this episode we delve into the increasing protests against police brutality in the United States, analysing how systematic racism has transpired through American history, and link it back to Australia’s own systematic racism towards Indigenous Australians.

What is the BLM movement? What is systematic racism? What is America's history that concerns African Americans? How can we see this is Australia? What is a good ally? What is white privilege? How can you support the movement?
