February is Black History Month and with the upcoming US elections coming up, there has been some discussion on the concept of reparations to compensate for the slavery and other injustices that were inflicted on the black community. We discuss the arguments for and against reparations and we’re not sure if we really ended on a positive note.
Apologies in advance for the poor audio quality in this episode. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to record in our recording studio.
