Problematising Political Blackness

Problematising Political Blackness

Political Blackness is more about the colour of your politics than the colour of your skin.

Back in October 2019, to celebrate Black History Month in Scotland, we recorded an event in which Khadija, Hashim, Franklin, Eyram, Jatin, Azita and Mélina discuss the origins of political Blackness, its current use and its future. This episode explores the lived experiences of political Blackness in the UK, in Scotland and beyond. What are its benefits and drawbacks? It can challenge whiteness and resist the erasure of the “B” in BME, BAME which risk simply becoming ME (Minority Ethnic). But does it erase anti-blackness and colourism?
