Manage episode 336175633 series 3242040
The brutal killing of George Floyd shook the world, as it was shared virally online and has sparked protests around the world in the past weeks. We're discussing how people are using social media to advocate for Black Lives Matter and the controversy around #BlackoutTuesday. We also talk about terms, like systemic racism, implicit biases and virtue signalling, and break down what they actually mean.
