Anthony Reddie & Ravelle-Sadé Fairman - White Supremacy and Black Suffering (N226)

<p>In this episode, black liberation theologian Prof Anthony Reddie and the poet Ravelle-Sadé Fairman reflect on black experience. These searching thoughts begin with the recent murder of George Floyd at the hands of US police officers, and from there reach into a knotted web of power and oppression: the disproportionate suffering of black people from Covid19, the enduring roots of European colonial rule, the dynamics of white fragility, the experience of black embodiment, the veneration of the statues of slave traders, and the emerging anti-racism movement.</p> <p>Anthony Reddie is professor of Liberation Theology at Oxford University and the author of many books, including <em>Is God Colour Blind?</em> and <em>Theologising Brexit</em>. Ravelle-Sadé Fairman is a poet from Nottingham, UK, who performs as A Poetic Perception.</p> <p>If you want more from Nomad, check out our <a href= "http://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/">website</a>, and follow us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/nomadpodcast">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/nomadpodcast">twitter</a> and Instagram.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Nomad can only keep going because a small group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
