“You DON’T Speak For Me!” Piers Morgan vs Andre Williams On Racism, Reparations & US-Israel
Piers Morgan UncensoredShow Notes
Warning: This episode includes explicit language, including the N-word.
The backlash against woke culture has reshaped the political and cultural landscape. But when the pendulum swings too far in one direction, what happens when it swings back?
In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, legitimate anger at racial injustice increasingly became entangled with debates over defunding the police, racial quotas, corporate virtue signalling, white guilt and reparations. For many, the response to being told “you can’t say that” was to say precisely that — and then push even further.
Now, a new wave of self-described edgelords is testing the limits of the backlash.
Among them is Andre Williams, who has recently attracted attention through appearances on conservative podcasts and a series of viral clips defending controversial positions, including the claim that “slavery was good for black people”.
But does he genuinely believe what he says? Is he an example of the backlash against woke culture going too far, or is there something else at play?
Piers Morgan is joined by controversial commentator and influencer Andre Williams, academic and host of BET News, Marc Lamont-Hill, and Brandon Tatum, aka The Officer Tatum, to discuss.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point of either presidency, with barely 31 per cent of Americans believing he is doing a good job. With the US midterm elections just 13 days away, the president is facing mounting political pressure as wars in Ukraine and Iran threaten to define his administration.

But his diplomatic mission has raised eyebrows after Witkoff publicly praised Putin as a humanitarian, while Trump has once again placed the burden of ending the Ukraine war on Zelensky rather than the Russian leader who launched it. Meanwhile, Trump is blaming Ukraine for the cost of American support, as voters grow increasingly frustrated with high fuel prices and continued conflict. Yet the pressure on energy prices is also tied to the war involving Iran, where renewed US attacks on Tehran could follow the midterm elections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised Trump’s leadership and declared that the two countries have a job to finish, fuelling concerns that the conflict could soon escalate again. As Trump attempts to contain the political fallout from two major wars, a fragile end to the fighting in Ukraine may be approaching. But the conflict with Iran could be entering a far more dangerous phase. Piers Morgan is joined by Alastair Campbell plus Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute; Jim Hanson, chief strategist at the Middle East Forum; and Will Chamberlain, host of Counterweight. Plus, General Keith Kellogg, former US special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, joins the show to discuss the prospects for peace in Ukraine and the growing threat of renewed conflict with Iran.
The relationship between Washington and Kyiv is entering increasingly uncertain territory, as Donald Trump’s approach to Russia raises fresh questions about the future of the war in Ukraine. In an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan last week, President Zelensky offered a stark assessment of America’s shifting position, warning that his country risks losing the support of its most important ally.
The Western world is facing a period of unprecedented upheaval, as old alliances fracture, political divisions deepen and conflict continues to reshape the global order. From President Donald Trump’s shifting approach to Russia and Ukraine to growing unrest in France, the familiar rules of international politics appear to be breaking down.
