Butch Ware: How the US legacy of slavery led us to Trump’s America Submitted by Ashfaaq Carim on Thu, 04/24/2025 - 11:50 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.
