The killing of Chris Kaba & exploring reparations for the transatlantic slave trade
from Uzo Speaks · host Sarah Osondu
Martyn Blake fired a single bullet through the windscreen of the Audi Q8 Chris Kaba was driving as armed officers surrounded the car in Streatham, south London, while he tried to escape. He was also acquitted of murder which led to outrage from a lot of people in the black community. I discuss the debate on whether this was an “unjustifiable killing”. The next topic explores the argument of reparations to former British colonies due to the transatlantic slave trade. Should these colonies deserve being compensated for the historical atrocities or should the focus be towards building a prosperous future?
