the in the, the me greetings and salutations. if you do a quick google search, go to starbucks, shop online or even in person. or you just scour social media. you'll see images of rainbow. i mean demick flag of colors that represent l g, b t q. pride. after all, june is pride, month in america, with the private sector clamoring to show it support politicians and other influences trying to out ally one another. you think the u. s. that they have in it of l g b, t q. love and support. and you couldn't be further from the truth. trans women and girls are facing heightened scrutiny and deliberate attacks. look no further than the sunshine state of florida. republican governor rhonda santas find

the law state ban on transgender girls competing in sports at the high school and college levels. trans women continue to be murdered at high rates. rarely do their live, make a blip in the new cycle. and sadly, for too many people believe they deserve to die, because in their mind, trans women tricked their male lovers. trans women, particularly those of color, just don't seem to matter. 2020 brought the national consciousness to colbert 19, but it failed to acknowledge that 2020 was historically the deadliest year for the trans community. in 2021 is proving even worse. and l g b, t advocacy, group allies and corporations feel fail to acknowledge the unique, oppressive, and discriminatory practices targeted a double minority people of color who dare to love outside traditional norms. one advocate had this to say on twitter every year,

people attempt to erase black queer trains and non binary people from pride history . every year, people tried to make pride more respect to just know that when you do this, you're intentionally ignoring the black and latin. next people who pushed us to be bolder. president biden issued an official proclamation recognizing pride month while advocating for l. g. b t equality and managing states that target trains use bind, say, quote, for all of our progress, there are many states in which l g, b, t, q plus individual, still lack protection for funded mental rights and dignity in hospitals, schools, public comment, public accommodations and other spaces but black and latin ex l g b t. community members are being threatened and murdered. proclamations. they just don't go far enough. it's time we start watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city and you want to rush,

let me show you what she rises. you always the roy, throw strike math grade to leave them a deceptive. manipulate so much with these weapons. so open up your welcome, everybody to watching the hawk. i'm a mr. cross. tyrrell is on vacation. joining me now is adjunct professor of law at georgetown university law center, who just happens to teach l g b t q health law and policy press. the mission. welcome back crescent. don't want to be sure. rather me. well pressing is, you know, i quoted your tweet because it gets to the core pride month. but also the ratio of black and latino community members from it. why does this continue to happen, and what will it take for the voices of the l g. b t, community members of color to finally get there? do whenever we don't talk about history enough, where doomed to repeat it? one of the very reasons why i always talk about pride in

a riot in pride in an action against violence. because if we don't ground that in our true history of what the private movement have meant for so many black and brown, we are fans. and by near people, we're going to forget that hit through all the time. the storm already happened in 1969. and it actually was more than one day for a few days where, you know, black trans women, spammed and that sort of color were tired of file. they were tired of police rate and they finally spot that people like marcia p. johnston still deal. rivera stormy day. day burnett, and we have so much history in the black and brown, we're trans banners in the back continue to be a race, and it's time for them to stop all get points and pressing as you know, we can't talk about pride month this month without acknowledging the ongoing attacks against the l g b, l, g b, p community specifically trans women and girls. we just saw governor to fainter, find a bill to prevent them from participating in sports. we know that black and latino trans women continue to be murdered in their lives,

in without even much of an investigation or acknowledgement that they even existed after the parade seats after this month is over. what is the next frontier for the pride movement? the next frontier for the private way is to really get back to the history of who we are with and it doesn't excuse me that over the past year we've been, you know, having reserved for black lives matter. and at the same time here, before i was reading pride, right, we'd be corporations and other entities celebrating the rainbow and everything that, that mean. but they actually are, you know, very, the point that this is more than rainbows. this is more than corporation. this is community organizing is a community activism, and we're really going to have a conversation about what it means to now be whatever, whatever the normal looks like for after cobit right, people are actually not in the camp this year on last year to celebrate with each other, and so what that means, we need to really get back to the room. so the next step is to really continue to rebel the drum beat, a guy. this is not just about celebration, of course,

and celebration, but celebration for who. right. and so we're talking about, we're talking about one official when you look actually to like new york that actually decided to not have to leave at their pride this year. we are really starting to think we'll have an understanding of that. there should be no point that what fried ultimately was rhythm resist. it was active. it was the intersections of police violence, a racism of pull the full the up. we're phone. yeah. i'm transit agnes math and be in florida and around the country. and so yeah, the next step is for people to really continue to talk about the ad initial and you put that so eloquently, i was going to mention what was going on with the, with the police not being able to march alongside is a typically done per year with, with during the prize parade, and i think that you, you definitely took that one away with the perfect explanation. president biden recently find a proclamation recognizing pride month and has rebuked states that are hell bent on, discriminate against trans women and girls, specifically. but the kind of seems

a bit performative because we haven't really seen legislation that stop a lot of the movement is there more that can be done and what would you like to see from the bio white house? for sure. so from the binding white house, i think it is a small dep, right camera proclamation. we certainly didn't see that in the 1st couple of years, the trunk ministration impacted with an outright rejection, even though the coffee, the friendliest, broken into the community. and so, you know what, i want to be clear, what i didn't did was a small that it is nowhere near enough. you know, we need actual workplace protection for people in the united states. it is technically legal for many places to discriminate against the, the actual invitation and gender identity. because we don't have law like the employment non discrimination act. and though you know that will come out of congress and not the binding character, ministration, authentic where they can purge congress and make sure that we have a workplace profession. they need to actively out against what it means to create violence in violence for l. we keep the people they need to ensure their actual,

how be and how the security problem. so again, it's more than just, you know, rein, it's more than just butterfly is more than just picked up. being celebratory back is important. just celebrate. we've come far. and there are many people who have not come far and that is because of the systematic discrimination that continue to experience. and so we're going to need that. and with only a few seconds left, we know that there are celebrities who have shrouded themselves in i'm trying to elevate the l g b t community and those who have l g b, t, children. i'm thinking of wayne wade, whose daughter via is still getting a lot of heat on social media from members of the black community who don't necessarily view him as a good parent because he is accepting a child who transition. what are, what is your message for parents who may be going through the same thing, or even those young people who, even if their parents are supporting them, they're not getting that same level of support from outside community. of course,

we need parents by gabrielle dwayne late to seize naya, grow up in such a beautiful way. she's confident she felt for sure, we really need to make sure that they have proport systems and family networks in community. and that is the only way or the young we're transferred people thrive. you know, we know that organizations like a separate project to so much work on, on providing resources for people who may be experiencing with our nation. and that's what happens when you don't have a environment where we need to make sure that he was protected, nurtured in their level. right. thanks so much for joining us, pressing and i hope to see you again, sharing that wonderful wisdom for our audience. thank you. so much mental health is a touchy and often unspoken topic in america and abroad. far too many people stigmatize mental illness and communities. this mysterious mental health issues on a daily basis. but glimmers of hope are often seen the bravery of individuals who

do decide to bring their struggles out of the shadows. that hope was met with racism and a healthy dose of ignorance. in the case of kenneth starr, naomi a father, a sucker made headlines this week, she announced her withdrawal from the french open osaka. the number 2 ranked women's tennis player in the world announced her withdraw on sunday. after being fined $15000.00 for opting out of speaking to media after her 1st round match. soccer took the courageous wrapped in, revealing that she suffered from long about depression since her 1st grand slam when in 2018. those sponsored nike came out with a bull for would it support both of them as did mastercard, in a smooth athlete, including venus and serena williams? not everyone was supportive, mineral black woman hater and defunct journalists, pierce morgan had this to say, quote, this have got nothing to do with mental health. what else talk a really means is that she doesn't want to face the media if she hasn't played well

. because the beastly journalists might actually dare to criticize her performance . he also called, called a socket, an arrogant boil brett, whose fame and fortune appears, have inflated her ego to gigantic proportions. here to break down the ever developing a soccer french open withdrawal. fall out is our sports producer regina. hans? hi. hi regina. it's always great to see you. good. see you're here again. we are meeting under different circumstances. but regina, we know the athletes deal with mental health issues on a regular basis. many have come for we've seen in the nfl. we've seen some across the n b a. we haven't seen it as much in tennis, but we've seen that there are different reactions when it is women in sports, particularly women of color than it is say white with it or white. mit is a soccer getting that type of treatment. or do we, or do you think that this, this reaction to her is going to call the shift in how people are dealing with mental health issues, particularly those from communities of color are treated by the media. you want to

think 1st yes, we hope that this is a shifting point in having that conversation. you know, there's that whole shut up and dribble or shut up in place. and we always hear from fan dan media, even the media itself and that they expect to be entitled to have access to these athletes and soccer. shut that down. so you know what, i'm dealing with, personal things as she was saying that she was disappointed and sorry, the person who was doing the mental struggle this, sorry to everyone else because we have guilt that or as a media issue, feeling bad, that she can't talk. and so you hope i'm sure that there's a shift here, but ultimately you've seen treatment of women of color in sports like this for ages . trina, william, got he, winners. you are a cat dude. after all die and giving birth to her daughter. you see other women and tennis, you know, they're being asked questions about their dating life. what they're wearing, things have nothing to do with what they do for living. so for soccer to kinda give the i'm taking a break to stepping back and people are supporting her, especially through to who understands from young age what can happen when don't do

you regina think that the prep is going to change some of its tactics because as we've seen there private sector organisations as well as other athletes will come out and spoke about this, particularly those athletes who also started as children or young people. what do you think the press reaction is going to be and how they deal with these interviews? and these very tense, oftentimes inappropriate levels of conversation that they have that have nothing to do with sports at all. no. and again, you see this very prevalent with women in sports versus men in sports. you're not going to refer about dating life very, but you're still not going to ask them. you're not going to ask them questions about i'll give us a tour of what you're wearing. excuse me. who asks if you don't ask you to med, but women have always gotten this treatment and they're under harsher certainty. and the fact that now actually the 4 major grand slams in tennis have put statements. i'll say we will accept, like if you're dealing with something, we'll have mental health professionals able to treat whatever we can do in coming out supportive. or you're seeing a lot of things like, you know what, i think i feel comfortable now. so hopefully she's setting the stage for other app

is the i'm also dealing with this because you know, it's people who don't look like they're dealing with it. who struggle sometimes struggle the most best point. and lastly, i think and very quickly how do we normalize a conversation about mental health? just taking the signal off being like, you know, what i said from depression, i suffer millions id. it's ok. i can admit it. i do. it takes a lot for a lot people, they just can't be, you know, it be making it less stigmatized. really what we need to do. and on that note regina, i'm going to have to let you go. but thanks for visiting us. no more as we go to break, remember that you can also start watching the hot on demand, the brand new portable tv app, available on all platform. coming up, we'll discuss why in the 20th slave trader, k, k. k leader and confederate generals were made or finding a new home. stay tuned to watching the hawk. ah, ah, ah,

ah, i owe the, the driven by remove shaped by those in me dares

thing. we dare to ask in ah, an entire village in alaska has had to move. if another country threaten the wipe out in america, we do everything in our part a project in what and a escaping climate change posing the same threat right now. alaska has seen some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world. we lost about 35 feet 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring it is bad and that means the river is $35.00 pounds, then limiting was yours for. i think we're a part of america, the 3rd from or america lose

the me. nathan bed for 4th is held of a hero among confederate army enthusiasts. otherwise known as racist across america . the same people who believe the confederate flag is nothing more than a symbol of southern pride in history, rather than the flag that represent it. states that never wanted slavery to end a flag, but louis crosses burned in black people's yards. k, k. k. rage struck black neighborhoods in the domestic terrorism, an anti democratic symbol that flag actually it. nathan bed for 4th has a striking history, a battalion if he served at the grand wizard for the ku klux klan. and before that, before the civil war force became a very wealthy man, as a cotton, plantation owner, slave trader, and real estate broker. he was

a man of many human rights violations and questionable talents if you will. and the decades since reconstruction, reformists and civil rights advocates have bought to remove the idolize ation of confederate leaders like forest in memphis, tennessee. the former slave traders body will be removed from the grave and health sciences park to museum hundreds of miles away. this was a long time coming as the city of memphis removed a statue of him in 2017 after selling the park. joining me now to share more on this as board member of nipple greenpeace. the mercer welcome leader. oh, thank you for having it. thanks for joining us. luther can you provide a rundown of why it's so important for confederate in clan leaders like nathan better for us to have their images removed from public spaces and what the process in memphis has looked like? well, you know, one thing that i want to put for the 1st is that, you know, we're not trying to distort history. what. ready we're trying to do is history in

its proper place. so what we, when we talk about these confederate monuments and specifically here in memphis, mr. nathan for. ready situation, i being a member of a board who actually purchased the parts and removed the statue and now in the process of working with others to have his remains and his other him and his wife is zoomed. it's important to me, to have this conversation about what this means in our country to celebrate when the monuments went up to celebrate the actions of the people in that time, meaning a confederate general, meaning the head of the plan. again there's, there's people who referred to him here as the butcher of for pillar because of the mass for that took place of many african americans here in this area. and so what we, what we are trying to do is symbolize what it is now in history to market as and nominating

this is what has happened. but now putting in his proper form, not in glorification, but in the understanding that this is a history big can that be recognized and supported in of lifted as being something that america stands for today. and if we continue to do that, and therefore i think which is to blind people matter size the history of this country. and we need to acknowledge, couldn't agree with the moral luther as somebody who went to college and graduated from college in nashville. i've seen quite a few of those, nathan bedford force that she was myself. luther. why did it take so long for such an notorious slave trader and domestic terrorist leader to finally be recognized for the legacy and the stain on democracy that he represented? will you know, here in mid this, it took 20 years to remove the statues. there are many people that i want to acknowledge them that have come before that actually made the statements that this

history has to be recognized. and it has to be put in the proper place. and so up until about 20162017. a new iteration, a back group. take them down on a one step forward. and we had an opportunity working with the city because of the commissioner, ban turner, who president of our organization, who actually met with the mayor, met with the for us say, hey, this is our way to do this. now, one of the major reasons that we had to go this way we had to purchase the part of the state of tennessee. historical society would not allow these monuments to be taken down. and so from then there was been again, as i mentioned, 20 years of a fight who tried to remove the statues in the way in which they will put up there . and jim crow and also what they were recognizing or celebrating of this of this

leader. during his time and so it's really becomes a political issue a lot of had with. so there are people who still hold onto this history as it is. this is not the truth is nothing role. we're having this person being recognized and celebrated but, and turning it around and saying, well this is just a part of our history and just to move on. but no, we need to acknowledge it. we don't need to disregard it because we'll be doing to repeat it, but we do need to put it in its proper perspective. need to put it in a way to let you generations know. we're not celebrating the ignorance of our, of that time. we are trying to put it in a place where we understand that never repeat and so in memphis, memphis is for all intents and purposes, a very, a very diverse, a largely african american city. when we think about this in context, and we think about the history of nathan, better born than we think about how nationally

a lot of the confederate monuments ended up coming down as a result of or after the black lives matter protest of 2020 in memphis. this was a motion long before the george boy, george blay protest, actually started. so can you speak a little bit about that and how failure it was? even though you had significant pushback from the state or state organization originally and how you manage to keep it, keep this by going and, and make some real headway. well, you know, in 20162017, we really began to have another discussion about these parks in the celebration of east confederate leaders. and so, as i mentioned already 20 years in the making and so in the rise of take them down one, we had to have a different conversation with the state. we've gone to the state of the city, had gone to the state and said, hey, you know, here's where we are, here's what we need to do and, and will you, will you support our action?

but the historical society refused to back that. so in meeting with, as i mentioned, the mer matching with city council, others, it took a several months to put the organization together, get the funding, the resources that we needed in order to move this forward. it was a very challenging and complicated journey setting up a non profit looking at the tax situation actually becoming managers of clarks all the legal ramifications because we've been in law some since 2017 from the sounds of a better 3 around this. ready and we one at every level because we are private owners of this park and have the right to do whatever we deem necessary with anything on the far however, we concluded that sometime in late 299-2020, where we finally got the final ruling and said, hey, look,

this is where we are and, and send us a better see, we had a discussion with them and we moved for were saying, we don't want the statues to be destroy again. and that's not our issue. our issue is that if they are to be placed in a remembrance, the proper place is in a museum. so they can properly historically document what these statues stood for, and also the recognition of that time in his life of what he represented. and therefore, to history and to people here. now it properly represents what we now need to know and understand. and how do we need to move forward. and with just a few seconds left, how are activists responding? i'm sorry, with a few seconds left out of the act, the bits responding. we know black lives matter. you know they,

they painted the entry, the entry way of the original spot. how are they responding to the, the relocation? well, as of today there's, there's been just the light murmur of discussion around the happiness to see the final nail in the car. and i think we're going to see more discussions about it as we do to actually read, exuding the buyers there. we're gonna have to leave there, we're going to have to leave it there and i hope to have you back on soon. thanks so much for joining us. thank you very much. and that is our show for you today. remember everyone in this world, we're not told we're loved enough. so i tell you all, i love you. i'm myisha cross. keep on watching those hock and have a great day and night everyone. the me
