Playing the Race Card

Playing the Race Card

Black Spy Podcast number 258 Season 26, Episode 0006

This week on The Black Spy Podcast, we're diving into one of the most sensitive and controversial topics in modern politics, how the 'race card' is used, whether to highlight injustice or to manipulate opinion and mobilise support.

We'll explore how political agendas, media narratives, and even grassroots campaigns can use race as a rallying point. But also how that can divide communities when it's used cynically. We're not here to dismiss racism or discrimination, but to ask whether every appeal to race is made in good faith, or if sometimes it's a strategic move to shape what people believe or how they behave locally, nationally, internationally and global – today and in the past.

Join us for a thoughtful, evidence-based discussion that aims to cut through the slogans and examine the reality.

So listen now to The Black Spy Podcast to be entertained whilst simultaneously learning.
