Colonialism Never Ended | Hear Me Out

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: don’t scare me like that, colonizer.
Understanding the legacy of colonialism is a project relatively few Americans have undertaken - and most have done so only relatively recently, at that.
But understanding the forces that led to the foundation of this country, and the creation of modern racism as we know it, is an important project. And it’s one that is also increasingly hard to bring into schools - especially in places like Florida.
Barry Mauer of UCF joins us once again to argue for teaching the ongoing project of colonialism… in the name of stopping it.

"... right, so apart from the aquaduct, roads, sanitation, education, medicine, irrigation, wine, civic order - what have the romans ever done for us?"
"... brought peace?"
"oh, peace, SHADDUP!"

This dovetails with what i have seen in terms of global affairs.
The US obtained an empire in the 19th century a n d technically remains an imperial power albeit a tiny one in 2024.
Fundamentally Colonialism and imperialism has only seen one phase end in Africa, Asia a n d the Middle East namely conquest and control .
What you have now remaining with European nations, the UK and the US is the Colonial a n d Imperial mindset, reasoning and intellectual structure a n d this transmits into national political policies such as in the US.
Then you have economic and material colonialism.
At the end of the day, European And American colonialism remain alive in terms of philosophy and policy.
Its the same equasion as in the past namely an unequal relationship between european and so called Western people and non-european people across the globe.
