This week, Beki and Maria catch up on a book that Maria is currently reading called ‘Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race’ by Reni Eddo-Lodge. In this episode, we discuss racism in the UK, using some of Reni’s arguments for what she calls ‘the fear of a Black planet and Black Britain’. Reni discusses the discourse of a nation where some people are spending their time yearning for a nostalgic Britain... That never was. From Brexit to curry houses, from colonialism to Harry Potter, racism is alive and well in the UK, and we’re here to talk about it. Unfortunately.
