In this episode of UNAPOLOGETIC we speak with historian Professor Rudolph “Butch” Ware about the global system slavery built - and how its legacy still shapes the modern world.
He breaks down the myths we’ve been taught about abolition, the spiritual legacy of resistance, and how white supremacy was not just a byproduct of history, but an architecture that still defines our institutions.
We also talk about Gaza, the erasure of truth in public life, and how protest and free speech are being crushed in the US.
Butch is running for governor of California, so we ask him if this is the best way to make change, considering that he is operating in a political system that often rewards self-promotion and aggrandisement over fundamental reform.
UNAPOLOGETIC is a show that unapologetically looks at the life, times and views of some unapologetic and not so unapologetic humans. Hosted by Ashfaaq Carim
