are concerned were products specifically targeted to black women and women of color . first skim lightener's while most would think that these bleaching creams are mostly popular just with asians around the world they're actually rary popular in places like jamaica where colonization meant for more than at least a century lighter skin meant access to privilege not afforded to darker skinned citizens the study found that dark skinned women across the world are using lightning creams that contain mercury which even in trace amounts when used regularly can lead to mercury poisoning neurotoxicity and kidney damage second hair texture products like relaxers specifically those targeted to african-american women in the united states these products were found to contain a class of preservatives known as parents and chemicals from animal placentas that mimic estrogen activities in the body these substances in your body can cause uterine fibroids tumors premature puberty and destruction finally feminine hygiene and odor reducing products are often targeted specifically to african-american

women in the united states based on slavery era stereotypes that black women had a naturally offensive odor of course this was a way to oppress and you humanize them but when it comes to modern branding and big centuries of psychological and chemical oppression is this as important as the almighty dollar see those products contain plasticizers these are chemicals used to make plastics harder order reducing body of voters also contain towle which has been found to cause gynecological cancers and endocrine disruptors isn't it time we start asking why african-americans who according to nielsen hold a trillion dollars of buying power in the united states alone are being physically fleeced and let's talk to a skin care act spert stop poisoning ourselves and for a bit of pretty and start watching the hawks.

as. far. what you are going. to. do. we. welcome everybody to watching the hawks on top of the wall is and joining me today from charlotte north carolina is skin care expert and founder of eyes or a but tactical beauty for sadie's at me welcome to the show mercedes thank you for having me thank you what mercedes one of the things that comes up is these mass produced products specifically targeted at where men are filled with these things that no one no one no one should have on their face what one of you see is a coincidence i mean i can look at this from many different angles is this coincidence is this conspiracy or is this just the effects of capitalism. and it's

definitely got a cooler and then it's not it could there be. capital goodness partially going but what this mainly the main issue for this is definitely racism this is a byproduct of over islam and the mechanic the high black human being was really in you know beauty products that. the aim for that is always to try and shift black women are darker pull women all of the races towards the euro century you know metric of beauty and data has been for hope at least one hundred years at least in the saying especially in america and other countries where you see that happening and that's why you have all these lightning cleanings and the relaxes and all these the saying because in our society

what is looked at as beautiful is. u.s. centric or more on more looking out what white basically right what's interesting is that this week this last two weeks was really on us line came out fenty and i got a lot of praise simply for having a much wider range of darker colors which sold out very fast but also ended up showing that she she found a spot that no one thought really was needed and that was for people without an ism or people of very light skin as well who couldn't find not think how important is it with the beauty industry that there are products that speak to us. it's very important every woman should be able to walk into a so for and also boys of a blue store and be able to find their fallen nation color in two thousand and seventeen there's absolutely zero ease and for us to be able to go into store and say wow i really like these products but they don't have my skin tolls and the

reason why that's happening is because a lot of companies frankly just don't care enough about black women. to want food. invest the timing and the lady in the research tools making these darker chill and reality as a black woman she saw that she saw the need for it she saw to needle in the dark by some if you thought i need a lighter and things have been out in islam is that the majority will walk out on the line those are said to be a lot of black people so you know that all of those devils martin's on her part let's talk a little bit about what the study said in toxicity obviously some of these are products that that all of us you know as women over the last twenty thirty years probably used i even as a as a white euro centric woman have used skin lightness because you know even if you're white you're not white enough and somehow you have already set in bright and you

know your hair is not straight and i still like no matter what i can't even imagine is because of worse women when you get less white than me other even though i. there's a functionality to it but what is it you know victorian women i talk a little bit in the opening about how toxic they you know these rich women putting mercury on arsenic what are the kinds of things that are in everyday view to products that your average working class woman could afford how bad is that stuff for you. if they lose with that is even with certain things like we say talk about heidrick with no. they even i remember it meant reading of all power good and if they are we have to be careful about is that some of these things really didn't even go there has been slow to survey the these guys came on and said oh they are harmful to the system we got not necessarily true so sometimes we have to be careful about how we speak of

a certain credit certain ingredients because it sends a ripple through the market. you know based on not because of pair of people not one survivor product whether it's in some of those ingredients i guess you can see that the issue is it's not insights on less than it was how much of it inside of a product when you look at like the asian markets if you ever ever went to an asian country you will see that even down to like the gulf brands they have so many products that are geared towards like making all the skins and once you know when to start using those products and using them for us and the effects on your skin can be disastrous and that's more of the issue than anything else the average person can go to the store and buy sometimes e-coli and or buy some vitamin c. of vitamin c. so i'm could use on their skin to help with hyperpigmentation or to you know

basically help even not just game cold and that's perfectly ok but when you're starting moving products that have a high concentration of some of the things gradients that's when you start facing a problem because when to get past a certain percentage it starts going to your blood stream and then it starts affecting a whole lot more things and that's partially part of the reason why places like johnson and johnson on the power issue is love why there again cool because all these years you know you know we've been using these products not only alive being that all of the ingredients in them the talcum is the side that is literally poisoning us. what is your skin now your your line x. or the tentacle beauty is designed specifically with women of color and mind and one of the things i noticed few months ago is that there was you know certain products that were specifically for african-american women or hair and he started to try to market them towards toward women like me and it all i use your products

in full disclosure audience i use your products but i would never expect you to have to start like putting my models in the thing so that i feel ok about it why what i. want to feel or that about. i i think when it comes to my proudest because originally you know when i started my brand exorbitant ical beauty i saw that as primarily as a natural skin care company it has saying expanded a little bit since then but i still primarily have those types of products and they are geared towards black women mainly because of all the different taxes in the shoes and you have and frankly because i wanted to have products and ingredients in my products that you couldn't necessarily size of us dollars for us so that was always my aim when i made my product there a lot of white women know why my products well probably maybe forty games i was

necessarily recommended for as a hair depending on. i guess the grade of good hair because they figure here is some panels with the timing of how light it is what. my products don't really discriminating in that light but i make it very clear that this the products are scared to or black women because we don't have a lot of of brands and stuff that stand up and say vocally we are here for black women and that's something i have been noticing over the past couple of years a lot of brides very careful about how they should typically. advertise their products because they don't they want big black woman money but they don't want to alienate other races so they tend to you know say it's vaguely but i'm you know i'm very i'm very direct about that and just because you know i feel like. they are working invented in the beauty industry as machine specially of two

thousand and seventy absolutely and one of the things about that i think is something that as a white woman as a hopefully trying to be an ally as that we all have to work harder at looking out for other women and that sort of intersectional feminine something of that i may be ok and most of my stuff is probably ok that i'm using on me but if i know that poor women of color are being subjected to the senate something we all have to work on as women how how do you feel how important it is for us to stand together because the truth is african-american women have a much bigger buying power per person when it comes to beauty and skin care products than white women you guys should be the gold standard they should be going after you and working to give you whatever you want and in those in those brands what what should us as allies be doing to challenge the brands that are selling to us to start opening themselves and being better at serving women of color. i look

at it basically. eyes as people who want to be our lives to watch you know lies groups various ways to help by giving black women the platform to speak on these issues there is a door that we don't have a plan for and whether it's a white woman or or a black woman was wanted to open that would get into those doors. by you when those doors opened for us to have got platform as well that's a major help because a lot of times and often times where people fall short in our own ship that they tend to speak for the marginalized and that's not what we want i don't have a feel for the l g b c community what i try to give them the space on the platform to speak in areas that maybe they couldn't get into before that so for me when i speak to you know white women i always call in the like if you really want to help . stand up to all the white women stand up to white men

and also hold open the doors pulled out of the black women can come in and speak as well because some kind sometimes all we try to speak for marginalized groups come to a place of privilege and it falls short so it's better to go out loud to people who are in this group to speak for them so thank you so much i think that something important something i say on the show a lot is is it isn't our place to say this that they have our place to support that and thank you so much for the work you do for putting out a being an entrepreneur of being i commend you for being a woman and a business owner and you've done a lot and you've got a lot of people who love you and your product means a lot not just to me because it makes me have a hundred guys when i said thank you so much for that mercedes and a skin care expert and founder of his or a botanical beauty thank you so much for joining us today thank you for having me.

as we go to break chargers don't forget the less know you take a topic you covered on facebook and twitter careful shows that are key dot com coming up close to three feet at johnson's upcoming interview with n.s.a. whistleblower karen stewart and redacted tonight naomi carey funny joins me to figure out why that happens some states are trying to raise segregated school to watch a mock. called the future we don't know you're going to. everyone in the world should experience. it you'll get it out of the old the old. the old according to just. look at the modern world come along for the raw. for

breakfast yesterday why would you put those on the face your wife. why did neil and now i live to do two months two more. there's a real irony going. to let him play i'm going to have a responsible choice in the people and there is always well that's one of the other parts and always been excellent examples of dealing with the baltimore area now hold still surveillance you feel you have already and while there's room to do so as not in trying has used the social media site well i know it's our lead story because it's garbage in real genuine soon. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't

tell me you know why. because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental goodness ends up polluting a river that causes chancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every we can you know want their work in. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are

into america play r.t. america offer much more artsy american person. many ways and use landscape just like the real news means good actors bad actors and in the end you could never your order. so that part can be all the world all the world's all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. it seems that since edward snowden startling revelations in two thousand and thirteen the n.s.a. has been nothing but an object of growing alarm and confusion of the public interest is only growing as news reports reveal that maybe after all the tweeter in chief may have about a point when he claimed that twitter that his campaign was wiretapped by obama's and s a n f b i all these stories obviously may leave many wondering what is it

really like inside the top secret compound and maryland's bucolic suburbs to shed at least some light on these questions and marshawn stone was joined by karen stewart a twenty eight year veteran of the n.s.a. and now an intelligence community whistleblower. i century had an interest in foreign languages and had a uncle suggest to me that i approach an essay for a career and so i i did that after graduating college and passed all of their tests the psychological evaluations the background investigation found no kind of problem with me whatsoever and so they hired me into a group at the time it was called a group it may still be but that group essentially was reporters we would take world events that were gathered through classified means and we would report them to the appropriate people in government or in military and so i spent almost my entire career basically writing reports top secret. reports for various entities in

the government. and then in the last years twenty two thousand and six forward basically started to have some rocky experiences going on about the same time by the way there was the news reports were talking about surveillance that was taking place of u.s. citizens by you know by the national security agency amongst others but did you start to start to feel that there was something illegal going on with n.s.a. in that time period of the bush regime really the two thousand and five six period of particular forward. well i will tell you that the n.s.a. charter basically says that it is tasked legally with conducting surveillance against foreign agents in foreign countries. if you would have a foreign agent. come to the united states then n.s.a. is not allowed to listen or watch him or do anything if he's on american soil he they have to turn over let's say bill smith ok they have to turn over bill smith to

the f.b.i. they have to say bill smith is a foreign operative that we have some concerns about but we cannot legally watch him since he now has landed in the united states so you have to watch him and if they would actually intercept maybe a phone call or e-mails or something by bill smith over in let's say germany or russia or somewhere like that they could intercept them and write reports on them unless it was found that he was writing to or speaking with an american so at that point they would have they would have to notify their supervisors this guy's talking to an american and at that point they would have to decide whether to not intercept anything or only intercept what the foreign person was saying and then totally delete what the american was saying and the dentity so that's how n.s.a. was supposed to work but obviously we learned from later disclosures that that's not what actually happened but did you actually see any aspects of. the criminal

aspects of n.s.a. while you were working there i would say that i didn't see it until they came after me. and then i realized that they were fully into criminal behavior. that people around me would. i would say that they didn't realize it either because they had been taught these rules and they were very stringent i mean one gentleman actually . basically intercepted and tried to see if you could intercept his own e-mails and he did and he was fired for it because he was intercepting e-mails of an american citizen and he said but but it's me it's ok with me and they said no the rules are the rules you're fired so on the surface everything was a very strict but with some of the news reports coming out we were starting to get the idea that something was not quite right and we noticed after nine eleven that n.s.a. security became very. crazy you know they would do things like accuse people

of things that they never did and it would seem like it was to blackmail them one woman who was an american she was dating a canadian who actually came here and had clearance to work here and then they pulled her into security and q.'s tour of converting with a foreigner and she said are you kidding me he's got the exact same clearances that i have and he's working here so how my national security risk at this point so they were getting a little crazy and we didn't quite understand what was going on with n.s.a. security. twenty seventeen you wouldn't think we would even be considering resegregating schools by race the map my group or would wait it seems like communities in alabama haven't gotten the memo and trying to just do that it is the law is it the economy or white supremacy pushing this new civil rights movement joining me now to help understand the trend and hopefully help us find some dark humor in the it is naomi care of any of our team marcus hit comedy news show or adapted to matt welcome having me write. what the actual hack is

going on and put it lightly. bet should be the question so schools have been in the process of resegregating and now they're resegregating even more rapidly so schools are more segregated than they were forty years ago today and part of this process there's a number of factors one of them of which is the d.o.j. . is not watching anymore they're very very busy they have a lot of other things to do but there's also the charter school movement. which is the worst yeah and now we have betsy develops promoting school and actually you know we. found jurors that kind of system one of the main factors that is that is causing segregation today and what's happening and. alabama is these schools are these towns are asking for more local control and local control we just

want our school to be white so good about anything that looks like common core because. common core. well anyways i did a segment on it last week and we should take a look. through a new strategy wealthy white communities are resegregating public schools in alabama and schools around the country ok kids it's back to school time grab your new notebook your new backpacking zagging meds in a civil rights lawyer the parents spearheading this operation claim it has nothing to do with race but the legal name of this process is breaking away as old says session in session why don't you call your new school district the schools against more of the friend in your test prep academy that could be kaplan the parents who waged

a campaign to seed said that the media has twisted and turned this issue to make everyone think this is about we're ok if it's not about race why did the campaign take political advice from former state senator scott beason a champion of separate school districts who once called black people aborigines that is really offensive. to dictionary should grow as you. you know do all the. store go to school he's just like oh i really didn't think that the scam would warm. so surprised why is it that the people who are always calling for secession are always the ones who swear that the most like patriotic americans. their quitters. as we know education is the great equalizer so many studies have shown that

minorities tests test scores improve when they're among white students and the white students scores are not affected and there's so much data out there yet you still have white communities saying we want separate schools and want to do desegregation and brown versus board of so it's interesting because actually in the seventy's this process of secession was ruled illegal and poor of war your had to come back and fight the same case that he did in one nine hundred seventy one which he already had one. way or if you had w. kleiman amazing story because alabama wanted to he didn't get entry into alabama's law school so they said you can have school choice and go to columbia use like ok i'm going to get a better education and then he went back to alabama and tried to fight school segregation and now he's fighting the same battle that needs to retire you don't

have to be fighting again and we need to be about it about it's such a weird thing with education the idea that you would try to put these ridiculous ideas and dickheads teach sort of hatred and bigotry or this fear to kids is just yeah and what's interesting in gardendale actually they had a real social media controversy lately where there were students who dressed up for halloween. blackface of course. is just like i wonder why they're insensitive and made the news and then maybe we should desegregation these children from their parents and be like no no damn near when you believe the problem it just seems like the parents aren't aware of sure i think there are a lot of people get caught up and know what's just about it's not about race it's about this it's about schoolyard bullies and i'm saying the fight yes the same fight we've been having for decades and decades and we'll thank you so much for

bringing this story and everyone check out r.c.s. redacted tonight check out the youtube page you can see naomi segment and learn more about this ridiculous story thank you so much for being here having me. this weekend you could spend your time arguing endlessly with folks on line about why someone who is the worst of the worst really is or you could explore the outside of the echo chamber of social media and corporate news or you could go out meet one neighbor one person in your community in your building on your block that you haven't gotten to know because with every act of sharing our humanity with others we become stronger against the tyrants the knuckleheads and the downright greedy and don't you dare forget to take care of each other out there and that is our show for you today in the words of my co-host child and for a in this world we're not told or love the not so i tell you all i love you on top of the wall and keep on watching those talks and have

a great day and night everyone. were directed to the american middle class so it's been a real road by washington politics. big bloody for what it does throw down a lot of boards that's how we use the. culture in this country now that's where i come in. i'm a troll on r.t. america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded that you'll get the straight talk on the straight news. question. i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta scheme ailes and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured

himself in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied to be n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo chamber for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable. guys i made a professional is powerpoint to show you how artsy america fits into the greater media landscape is not all laughter all right we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can see that is bar

graph skew the facts either talking head lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all so look out world artsy america is in the spotlight now every lehi have no idea how to classify as and it actually took me way more time than i care to admit. i'm jesse ventura. for sure. the world according to shit. today we're talking about two of the biggest problems in america heroin and lad. highly addictive opiates perscribe legally bar doctors but. which could get rid of toxic. is considered illegal how does this make sense.

the world. gov opioid addiction gets worse in america every single day all across the nation people are dying from opioid related overdoses these highly addictive drugs include heroin synthetic opioids like fenton all and prescription painkillers like oxycontin coding and bike in all the united states is home to only five percent of the world's population it consumes nearly eighty percent of the global opioid supply a bipartisan panel has now called on the president to declare a state of emergency stating quote with approximately one hundred forty two americans dying every day america is enduring a death toll equal to september eleventh every three weeks governor i know that your marijuana advocates recent studies show that marijuana can curb opioid related deaths and addiction and yet unlike prescription opioids marijuana still is not legal nationwide it why not what gives will want to know it and what gives.
