1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: You know what's what's sad for me is uh, I 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: didn't relax my hair and I'm still doing the same 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: ship you do. So what the funk happened to me? 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like you have brain damage, 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: that's clear from the relaxer. But me, I maybe maybe 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm just fucked up from the beginning. That's even worse. 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: Maybe since you know it all started with the loop. Yeah, 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: maybe these loobes, these various things I was using to 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: jerk off, we're apparently also frying my brain somehow racist 10 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: money stuff I can't tell me. Yep, yep, yep. There 11 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to 12 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me, the podcast 13 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of black 14 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: conspiracy theories and we finally worked to prove that logic 15 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: is black in the same way that McDonald's is serving 16 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: us chicken. You know what I mean, Those chicken nuggets 17 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: ain't really chicken, but you can imagine how chicken existed 18 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: inside of the space that is the food that's being 19 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: served to us. Same things happening with logic in his blackness. 20 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear that that somewhere in there 21 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: there was a black relationship of sorts, but now it's 22 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: mostly just pink sludge that's being served up to us 23 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: with a lot of depressing anecdotes wrapped around it.

Why what 45 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: happened at this gas station? Why? What were the what 46 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: was the entirety of the incident? Well, I, you know, 47 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: I was just getting gas and I'm getting my gas 48 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: and I'm listening to podcasts and the night turned and 49 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: I see a guy trying to get into my car. So, 50 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, as a half white woman, I started screaming 51 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: and then somebody helped removed the man from my car. 52 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: Did he did he like get in the car and 53 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: he was like, dry, bitch, I'm trying to go to 54 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: the third street. Like what was Did he say what 55 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: his plan was getting in your car? He didn't say 56 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: what his plan was? No, he was not very here 57 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: in Maybe he thought Ada was is uber, you know, 58 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. Well I did he get in 59 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: the front seat? Yeah, yeah, not the driver though, not 60 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: the driver's seat, the passenger seat. So that was interesting. Yeah, 61 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody gets in French seat if they 62 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: if they think that's the uber, they're not like, uh, 63 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: are you my uber? I want to sit next to you. 64 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: Before COVID, I would sit in front, you would sit 65 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: in the front. That's that's truly psychopathic behavior. That's like 66 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: jail worthy behavior. Before COVID it was normal. I don't 67 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: think so. I don't think at any point where any 68 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: of your drivers allowing you to sit in the front 69 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: seat because it was normal. I think they were allowing 70 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: you to do it because they are underpaid and just 71 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: need the rides. But it wasn't because they were like 72 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: the stars. Yeah, this is a perfectly normal decision by 73 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: a healthy person. Well, I you know, I feel sick 74 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: in a car, so there's a reason for it. So 75 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: if I'm saying so, sitting up front sort of alleviate 76 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: some of that. Yeah, it makes you feel like you're 77 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: more in control, which is illusion obviously, But okay, Well 78 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: I still think it's nutty, but I respect that this 79 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: is this is you trying to manage what otherwise might 80 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: be you barfing in someone's vehicles. Yes, look, we don't 81 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,559 Speaker 1: have time to talk about your your crazy front seat 82 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: behavior anymore because you came to me with a conspiracy 83 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: theory that I think is gonna be It's gonna be 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: a great conversation. I'm very excited that we're digging into this, 85 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: and I won't delay it anymore. You said, my mama 86 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: told me was created about white people to brainwash black people. 87 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: It's all about the chemicals getting in your brain. Correct, correct, 88 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: And my mama would tell me everything. Oh you, your 89 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: mom is white, and there you know what I mean. 90 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: So so let's let's start from the beginning, because they 91 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: already were accusing your mother of disastrous things. Where where 92 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: did you first come upon this conspiracy theories? This of 93 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: your own making or is this one that you've heard? No, 94 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: it is on my own making. But with that set, 95 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: it's based on another conspiracy which I believe it is true, 96 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: which is that relaxers are extremely dangerous to women and 97 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: and they can cause cancer, and they can cause all 98 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. And obviously who's using relaxers Only black people. 99 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: So you know, there is my conspiracy theory that I 100 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: actually believe in, and then off of that I built 101 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: my own, which is two brainwashes. Whoa Okay, so it 102 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: started at what sounds like a level of real research. Yeah, 103 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: it sounds like a level of real research. Yeah, you 104 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: were like, no, this is an actual found thing that 105 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: I I know to be true or at least believe 106 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: to be true. And then you're like, and I bet 107 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: they're doing some brainwashing ship and okay, what do you 108 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: think Let's let's follow this train, because this is very 109 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: exciting to me. I I don't know how how familiar 110 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: you are, but I love a good toxic take on 111 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: on most things. So so help me understand. What do 112 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: you think they're they're intending to do with this brainwashing? Like, 113 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: is there a specific type of brainwashing? What? What's their 114 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: goal here? Well, I think first of all, we have 115 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: to go a little bit bad. So imagine, like you 116 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: use these relaxers since you're a little girl, Like the 117 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: first time I used mine, I was probably like ten 118 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: years old, So it starts very early on. Okay, so 119 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: you're just to be clear, you are a veteran in 120 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: this game. This isn't just a person used to do it. 121 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: And then I stopped when I was a teenager. And 122 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: then you know, at the same time, I also you know, 123 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: I kind of woke up too many to me this 124 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: and stuff. So you know, you see the you see 125 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: the co incidence there. I stopped using relax or some 126 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: suddenly I became a real black person. Before was quite whitewash. 127 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Oh so for years, if I'm 128 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: understanding you correctly, for years you sort of were, uh, 129 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: we're working, not let's not say against. You were working 130 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: not necessarily in favor of sort of like your black identity. 131 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: You weren't sort of like treating that is, like the 132 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: way that you identified And then in taking the relax 133 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: or out of your hair, you started to see yourself 134 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: more as a black person. I think something like that. 135 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: Yes it's not as simple, but yes, okay, it wasn't 136 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: the relaxer itself that did it, but it it played 137 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: a part. Maybe it it was a part of a 138 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:46,239 Speaker 1: longer growth in your life. Okay, I've long maintained this conspiracy, 139 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. I 140 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: do think that white mom sometimes plays its part in 141 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: the way that people identify themselves. It mixed people specifically 142 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: identify themselves in the world like I have. I am 143 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: also biracial. My dad is white, and I think white 144 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: dad's play far less of a role in the way 145 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: that you like sort of like see yourself as Like 146 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: I never at any point saw myself as anything other 147 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: than a black man, and I think it's because having 148 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: a black ass mom makes you sort of feel that way, 149 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: whereas a lot of the people who I know who 150 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: have white moms struggle more with oh, this is how 151 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: I identify. This is where you know. It's funny because 152 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: I used to think until right now that it was 153 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: a matter of being a black girl and having a 154 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: black mom. But now you know, from your point of 155 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: view as being a black man having a black mom 156 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: and having the same experience, you might be onto something. 157 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: You know. I thought it was the whole thing about 158 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: your mother, mother, father, father, about you were telling you're 159 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: proving me wrong. So that's interesting. Damn all right, well 160 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: this let me ask you this. So so was her 161 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: mom the one that was encouraging you to relax your hair? 162 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: That's also very complicated. So my mother was the one, well, 163 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: definitely encourage some bad stuff, but I think the hair relaxed, 164 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: and she didn't necessarily encourage because it's expensive, you know, 165 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: and we didn't have money. So she was like, now 166 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: you shouldn't you shouldn't be doing that, you know, because 167 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: like it's you know, it's bad for your hair. So 168 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: she actually did not completely encourage that. No, okay, so 169 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: she she was on the side of of the justice 170 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: you eventually found uh without knowing it. With that said, 171 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: the reason why I'm saying it's more complicated than that 172 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: because she's a blonde woman in beautiful, long blonde hair 173 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: that I always wanted to have. Right looking at her, 174 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's what I you know, you're my role model. 175 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: That's what I want to achieve, you know. And I 176 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: was also looking at Beyonce and I didn't understand back 177 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: then that you know that that's the fake. I thought 178 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: that was her hair, and I my brain, yeah, that 179 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: ain't her hair. That's a whole week that lady was wearing. 180 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: But those blonde roots are not naturally that color and 181 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: certainly not growing out of that scalp exactly. I would 182 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: look at those magazines, magazines in the you know, in 183 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: that hairplace where I would go to, and I'd be like, 184 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: I want to look like Beyonce. Well I don't. I 185 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: just like, okay, so you're you're wanting to look like Beyonce. 186 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: You're relaxing your hair, You're trying to to emulate to 187 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: some extent your mother. At what point what happens that 188 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: sort of like wakes you up, shakes you from this? 189 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: I can tell you exactly what happened. So I was 190 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: going to friends, and I was so excited to spend 191 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: my summer in friends. I'm like sixteen years old, and 192 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm like so ready, and I'm I've been like saving 193 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: up and like I've been excited, and I, you know, 194 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: go to the place to get my hair relaxed, you know, 195 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: by the way by a black woman. I just want 196 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: to stress it out. I want to stress that I 197 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: was a black African woman. I want to stress it 198 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: out because I want you get to know that I 199 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: trusted her, you know, I had so much trust in her. 200 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: She relaxed and it looks amazing. I look like Beyonce. 201 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: It's absolutely wonderful. And I go home and I start 202 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: touching it, you know, and swinging in back and forth. 203 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: And then suddenly I realized that, like my hair is 204 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: falling off, and I'm like the probably from I don't know. 205 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: You know, you make excuses when you're desperate, so and 206 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: I keep like touching it and more hair is falling 207 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: off and more hair is falling off, and then I realized, 208 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm losing my hair, this big burn it all down, 209 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna be bold. So by the time I 210 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: made it to France, I was basically bold, and I 211 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: had not cars. And yeah, and when we were when 212 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: we say bald, because I want to be clear, when 213 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: you say bald, I assumed there were still long strands 214 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: hanging on and then just the sies, it was really 215 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: burnt on top. So I looked like, you know, I 216 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: had a mullet, but like like you know those like 217 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: middle aged man who are like losing their hair but 218 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: they want to save it like that. That was yeah, 219 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: George GA stands it. You had a real like Larry David, 220 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: George Coastance David. Yes, that's what I was like. Fuck, 221 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: that is that is tragic, especially if you win in 222 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: and pointed at a magazine of Beyonce, who I assume 223 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: is not bald under there. I don't know what what 224 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: our natural hair really looks like, but I'm gonna go 225 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: not Larry David. Yeah, no, it was. That was heartbreaking. 226 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: And in the summer. In the summer, like in the 227 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: winter you can hide it, but in the summer you 228 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: cannot hide it. So you heard you? You show up 229 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: your Bald and France, which is a great film, by 230 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: the way, baldin France. It's a lovely film that I'm 231 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: hoping to produce this summer. But you're you're bald and France. 232 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: What do you do? Do you shave it all off? 233 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: Or you do you fully commit? No? I am I 234 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: am doing the middle age guy. I'm trying to preserve 235 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: the last remaining Oh yeah, of course I can totally. 236 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: By the way, I can totally. Um. Really, I to 237 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: sympathize with with men who lose their hair, like you 238 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: know from that experience. Yeah, I don't know. You then 239 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: thinking this will never grow back, like I'm just gonna 240 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: be I'm gonna have to like trump this ship from 241 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: now on. Oh wow, I didn't know. I didn't think that. 242 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: I was very much in the moment. I was thinking 243 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: I am bold now, and that's a problem. I wasn't 244 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: thinking like two three years from now. I was wearing 245 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: a lot of scarfs. When people ask I think at 246 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: some point, you know, I'm sixteen and I have so more. 247 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: There was also like a level of embarrassment that I 248 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: did the relaxer and this happened to me. I cannot 249 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: even explain. It was like a level that I would 250 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: rather tell people they had cancer to admit what I've 251 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: done cancer. Well, cancer is a hero's journey. That's that's 252 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: some body fighting through something. You volunteered to have your 253 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: your hair turned into a horse shoe, that is, that's 254 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: that's a fool's journey if nothing else mm hmm. So 255 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: from then on I was thinking about it. I had 256 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: the whole similar to think about it. As I was 257 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: putting my scarves in my head and I was like, 258 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: who would come up with the product like this? Like why? 259 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: Why would you want to do why would you want 260 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: to raise this? Why would you want to do this 261 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: to women? Like why? And that product is evil and 262 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: burns your hair? And so you're sitting there, you go, 263 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: who would come up with such an evil product? Who 264 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: would want to hurt when? And then you put your 265 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: hands together in a triangle and you said, the white 266 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: devil is the only person I can think of who 267 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: would be this this evil? Is that where we're at? Absolutely, 268 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: first they convinced you that you need to have straight hair, 269 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: and then they'll show you a path of evil to 270 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: achieve it. And is their plan to to just make 271 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: you less because I guess this is circling back to 272 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: the original question. Is there their plan with this brainwashing 273 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: and sort of their evil, uh misdeeds? Is it to 274 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: just make you less black, to make you feel less confident? What? 275 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: What is the ultimate goal of their dastardly efforts to 276 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: make you feel less confident, to make you feel um 277 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: powerless in this world? And uh, to make you distracted 278 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: because you're huge. You're so worried about your hair, you 279 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: don't have time to worry about other things in the world. Sure, 280 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: I can't work on climate change if I've got to 281 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: keep calmbing over you know exactly like I truly we 282 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: could have resolved what's happening to the polar bears if 283 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: only I weren't sitting with like these massive ball spots 284 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: from the severe. We would only have electric cars in 285 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: this world if it wasn't for relaxers. This is devastating news. 286 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: If true. I don't know that we can necessarily prove 287 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: it yet, but I'm excited to be following this journey 288 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: with you. Because it seems like the white man is 289 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: the root cause for all things terrible, and that's really 290 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: the major theme of this podcast. Again, I don't know 291 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: how familiar you are, but we truly walk away from 292 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: every episode and we say fuck you white devil, and uh, 293 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: that's that's usually the end, I think. So you're right 294 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: on track, you're doing great. Oh yeah, thank you, thank you, 295 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: thank you. And I just think it was the chances 296 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: before we go to break. This is the last question 297 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: I asked, what's the chances your mom's listening to this? 298 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: Is she a big fan of of your comedy? Where 299 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: she at in all of them? My mother doesn't speak 300 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: English very well, so I you know, I am fearless, 301 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: and everything I say about her and great my childhood 302 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: and all that, she's perfect. So there's no chance she's 303 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: gonna throw this into Google translation, and even if it does, 304 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: it's going to be mostly unintelligible afterwards. Yes, exactly, I 305 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: have no I have no fear perfect. Well, then we're 306 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: gonna keep talking ship. We're gonna come back after this 307 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: break with more Bianca, cristal about and more. My mama 308 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: told me and we are that we don't say the 309 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: n word around two year old. Yeah, we're back here 310 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: with more Bianca Christo vile more. My mama told me, 311 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: we're still talking about the possibility that relaxers were used 312 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: to brain wash black people by the white devil. This 313 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: is the conversation we're having. Do you think, uh, it's 314 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: it's all relaxers or they're like specific ones that are 315 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: like especially cooked up by you know, white witchcraft as 316 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: it were. Well, I am very excited for these for 317 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: this particular research, because we already know that most hair 318 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: you know, most hair companies that black women use are 319 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: not black owned, right, so it's very interesting to find 320 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: these relaxing you know, these relaxers are owned by black people. 321 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: And if they are not, I say, all those that 322 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: are not owned by black people are definitely part of 323 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: my conspiracy. If there's one or two that are owned 324 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: by black people, those might be the ones that you 325 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: guys are safe to use, Okay. I like, okay, you're 326 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: you're saying, Look, if they're owned by white people, you 327 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: can't trust them, period, There's no no other explanation. Uh. 328 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: And if they are owned by black people, then maybe 329 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: there's some consideration we can give them. Maybe and there's 330 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: a hard him on that. Maybe hard. All right, let's 331 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about what you're saying, because that's 332 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: not completely untrue. There there's a fair amount of evidence 333 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: that says that even the products, the the ethnic hair 334 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: care stuff that you often find in your your Walgreens 335 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: locked up under heavy lock and key for some reason 336 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: because they're worried us are gonna run run in and 337 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: steal hair grease and and rung and slick hair that 338 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: we couldn't afford. H is often owned by some larger 339 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: white conglomerate, i e. Dark and Lovely and UH and 340 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: Optimum Care, both of which are black hair care products, 341 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: are actually owned by Loreal, which couldn't be wider as 342 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: as I understand, Yes, exactly now to your original question, 343 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: or rather your original conspiracy theory of the fact that 344 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: or or suggestion that white people invented relaxers, I am 345 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: in the unfortunate position to tell you that you are 346 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: not correct on that one. Relaxers were actually invented by 347 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: a dude named Garrett Morgan. Garrett Morgan you may actually 348 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: know he's a notable name in black history because he 349 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: is not only the major inventor of relaxers. But he 350 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: is also credited as the inventor of the smoke hood, 351 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: which is the predecessor for the gas mask, and he 352 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: is also the inventor of the stoplight. So this motherfucker 353 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: was all over the place with his So he was 354 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: working on a stoplight. Are you serious the stoplight that 355 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: we're using right now for cars? He he invented the 356 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: greg and he was like, you know what, let's relaxed 357 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: that what. Well, this is where it gets even crazier 358 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: because I agree with you, there's no part of me 359 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: that wants to put my faith in a man who 360 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: invented the stoplight to then work on black hair care products. 361 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: That's not It's not usually how I approach my hair 362 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: care products. It's like, I bet that dude who knew 363 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: to put the red above the yellow is uh, is 364 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: somebody I should trust with with all of my ship 365 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: on my head. Now here's where it gets interesting, because 366 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: he invented relaxers, or rather the serum as it were, 367 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: for relaxers, but he didn't mean to. It was actually 368 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: a complete accident. He was making a lubricant for sewing 369 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: needles in a sewing machine, like a new special lubricant 370 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: that was helped to helping to make the needles move 371 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: smoother and faster. And the product, the sort of like 372 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: chemical he created, he then spilled on his arm and 373 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: all on his arm here, yes, so it lands on 374 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: his arm hair. And then he noticed this that his 375 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: arm hair gets silky smoothed out of nowhere. This little 376 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: chemical makes his arm hair silky smooth, and he goes, 377 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: that's that's something that's pretty cool. And then this is 378 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: where this motherfucker turns into a real sick oh, because 379 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: he takes that product and then he says, I want 380 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: to see if this actually works in you know, a 381 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: grander scale, And so he starts experimenting on his neighbor's 382 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: dog with the chemical. He takes his neighbor's dog and 383 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: he starts dipping the dog, and he starts dipping the 384 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: dog headfirst, and the dog it's just like a golden retreat. 385 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: But that's already a white like that dog has straight 386 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: hair or is it? Apparently, and I'm cautious to say 387 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: it the way that I planned to say it, but 388 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: this is also the choice I made. Apparently it was 389 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: a real nappy headed dog. He found a real nappy 390 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: headed neighbor's dog, and he started dipping the dog and 391 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: he and he noticed that that dog came out with 392 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: gorgeous silk locks that that previously did not exist. And 393 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: then he started to experiment on himself. He started putting 394 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: the products in his own hair and uh and smoothing 395 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: his own hair, straightening his own hair, and then he 396 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: started marketing it to the rest of the U. Yes, 397 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: so this guy is black, yeah, scary, very glad or 398 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: whatever it was the early nineteen hundreds. Okay, show men, 399 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: can you show me your hands real quick? My hand? Yeah, yeah, 400 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: I know. I want to see I want to see 401 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: the forearm. What does my form look like? Oh, you're 402 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: you're trying to see if I have hair to be 403 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: able to do the experiment. That's what I'm saying. I 404 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: don't believe. I don't believe this guy has dropped some 405 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: lubricant on his arm, because, like you know, black man 406 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: that are not known to have very hairy arms, and 407 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: then he knows that know that there it goes. Michael Spressy. 408 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: I think this guy was jerking off with this new loopie. 409 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: Oh you don't think it landed on his arm. You 410 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: think it hit his pubic region from from him being like, man, 411 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: this lubricant is so smooth, it's better than lotion. I'm 412 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna beat my meat with this sewing machine 413 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: lubricant and see what happens. That's my that's my theory. Wow. 414 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: If true, you have you have ruined Garrett Morrigan. Uh. 415 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: For every young person that was gonna write a special, 416 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, book report on Garrett Morrigan and and what 417 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: he did for black history, now they have to include 418 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: that Garrett Morgan was beating his meat and accidentally discovered 419 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: how to straighten pubic hair, uh, and then decided, Yeah, 420 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: this is better than for public hair, I'll do it 421 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: to my my scalp hair as well. Wow. I think 422 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: so Garrett Morgan invented this thing, but to your original conspiracy, 423 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: and I have not jumped off board. Even though I'm 424 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: now relatively firm believer that Garrett Morgan, a black man, 425 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: invented it. I had. You haven't lost me in the 426 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: argument that maybe this is a there is a fair 427 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: argument that although white people did not necessarily invent relaxers, 428 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: they did find endless ways to capitalize on the invention. 429 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: Right that like, although it was made by a black man. 430 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: It was usurped and and made evil by white people 431 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: and and the white powers that be. M M, how 432 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: do you feel about relaxers? I have a daughter. I 433 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: would never put that ship in her hair. Uh, But 434 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: I also understand that we we generationally come from a 435 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: history where it made a lot of sense into terms 436 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: of the way that that people sort of saw themselves 437 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: the way that they were being asked to see themselves. 438 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: So I think it's an unfair thing on my end 439 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: to be like judgmental of anybody that had that felt 440 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: the need to do that, right. I wouldn't volunteer it 441 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: for anybody that I love or care about, because God damn, 442 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: that ship's you know, not good for you. No, you're 443 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: saying so, I think, And to be clear for any 444 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: of our listeners who are sort of curious as to 445 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: why they might be bad for you, there's a chip 446 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 1: ton of arguments that you can find for what relaxers 447 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: can do. And they say, according to some research, at 448 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: least relaxers can cause life threatening ailments such as reproductive problems, 449 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: heart disease, different forms of cancer, early puberty, fibroids, and 450 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: mental health disorders that shouldn't evil see mental health issue? 451 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: That goes back to my conspiracy. Yeah, it truly, it 452 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: goes back to your suggestion of brainwashing or at least 453 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: a type of like mind control that would happen if 454 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: you take this a certain amount of the relaxers or 455 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: take them in a certain form, right, m hmm Yeah. 456 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: Even more interesting, relaxers have been found to disrupt the 457 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: chemical balance of our bodies by entering our system via 458 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: cuts and burns. Now, why is burned specifically interesting because 459 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: relaxers often burn it literally, like when you apply it. Yeah, 460 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: well that's the reason, Yeah, exactly, telling her it burns 461 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and she sat supposed to and I'm like, I don't 462 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: think so, my head is on fire. You know, maybe 463 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: if I didn't use relaxes, that could be a lawyer 464 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: or a doctor and not a comedian, you know what 465 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, No, I do know what you mean. 466 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: And what a heartbreaking revelation for you to find this afternoon. Yeah, man, 467 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: I could have been anything I wanted, but I wanted 468 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: to relax my hair And now now I gotta tell jokes. 469 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: Uh two strangers and bars and ship Oh my god, 470 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: and my hair is not even straight one of the 471 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: things that it got me asking all of this information 472 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: is what what is in relaxers that could cause so 473 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: many terrible things to happen to the human body. And 474 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: one of the main chemicals that they say, the one 475 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: that they say is most harmful in relaxers, or certainly 476 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: most dangerous and relaxers, is a chemical called sodium hydroxide, 477 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: or as it's most commonly known in the streets. Lie. 478 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: Are you familiar with lie at all? No? Not at all? 479 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: You know for that I would have to be smart, 480 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: but we established that I never got there because I 481 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: and and what a shame because we all need to 482 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: learn about I. It's it's truly how can you function 483 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: in the world without knowing what the fuck LIE does? 484 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't mean any of this, but LIE is a 485 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: product a chemical that is most commonly used for soap making, 486 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: candle making, homemade biodiesel, frosting glass, and for chemistry experiments. 487 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 1: This is one of the main chemicals that exist thing 488 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: in a relaxer, and it also is something people are 489 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: using to make bio diesels, but also so yeah, which 490 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: isn't super encouraging either, right that, like a lot of 491 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: our are sort of I guess, uh, everyday products include 492 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: chemicals that come with some level of caution if nothing else. 493 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. So here's where LIE gets even more interesting 494 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: is that LIE, when it makes direct contact with human skin, 495 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: can cause extreme burns, much like what you're experiencing, or 496 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: you experience rather when you were on your your Great 497 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: Parisian adventure. It can also lead to blindness and death 498 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: if consumed, and LIE is in fact so powerful that 499 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: when combined with extreme heat, it can be used to 500 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: completely dissolve a human body within three hours. So actually 501 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: your question about me if I was worried that I 502 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: will ever grow hair again, it was a legit question. 503 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: I maybe I you know that that was positive a 504 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: possibility it could have burned me so deep that I 505 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: could have been built for the rest of my life. 506 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: That's right, and that's I think that's why I was 507 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: asking the question. And maybe you needed a little more 508 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: uh information to sort of make sense of it all. 509 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: But legitimately, there is a possibility that through these chemicals, 510 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: you can burn your flesh so badly that it it 511 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: salts the earth that there is no more growth able 512 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: to happen from those those spots. It's kind of interesting. Now, 513 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,959 Speaker 1: you know how when like Mob I love Mob movies, right, 514 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: and they're always trying to make a body these up here, 515 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: they're just put it into like a bath of relaxer. Yeah, exactly. 516 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: You just dip a man in a big old tub 517 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: of dark and lovely and you you wait a couple 518 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: of hours and he'll he'll disappear, and he'll be gorgeous 519 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: when he does. Like device. Yeah, just it truly is 520 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: a a a jarring thing to be putting in someone's head, 521 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: specifically in the head of a child or a young person. 522 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: Give the fact that that your brain and body are 523 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: already sort of in a developmental state. They're they're already 524 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: figuring themselves out, and then suddenly you add chemicals to 525 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: them that potentially can be changing the way that their 526 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: chemistry naturally would develop. M hm okay. So the other 527 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: and this is the the the other product that I'll 528 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: tell you about, or rather chemical that I'll tell you 529 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: about that exists inside of these relaxers, a chemical called 530 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: sussenic acid, susanic acid, sussenic acid, I don't know, I'm 531 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: not French, but the susanic acid found in relaxers is 532 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: explicitly said to be kept away from skin, eyes, and 533 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: even clothing. A a company called bio Amber. This is 534 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: a company that manufacturers were manufacturers renewable chemicals, states in 535 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: their website that sussenic acid may be harmful if absorbed 536 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: through the skin. This is a chemical they're literally putting 537 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: inside a product that goes directly onto your scalp, and 538 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: instead they're being like, I wouldn't put that on anybody's skin, 539 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: and we make the chemical. Yeah. See that's that's is 540 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: getting darker and darker. Yeah, no, it's not. I again, 541 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: I this is always, I guess a difficult revelation for 542 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: my guests. But uh, it never turns out better when 543 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: we get into the research. You know what I mean? 544 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: You never read more. You're like, turns out relaxers actually 545 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: contain a ship ton of vitamin D. That's that's better 546 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: than sunny delight? Is there one good thing about them? 547 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: Is there a vitamin in it? Is there something nice? 548 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: I think the good thing is is perhaps the confidence 549 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 1: you could feel afterwards. If if that's the look you're 550 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: going for, you could look like the lady on the box. 551 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: You know, she's always swinging her hair and looking real 552 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: sensual back at at whoever is buying the product. And 553 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, I've always wanted to make love 554 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: to one of the ladies on the Dark and Lovely Box, 555 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: and so maybe you could feel like the Dark and 556 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: Lovely lady. But other than that, no, you're burning your 557 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: your brain and your scalp. My hair never never turned 558 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: out like that lady on the box. I'm so sorry 559 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: that happened to you. It did turn out. It sounds 560 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 1: like a a little bit of a Joe Pesci. Uh 561 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: you had you had a Joe Pesci thing going on, 562 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: And maybe that's okay, Maybe maybe that's pretty cool too. 563 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: Going back to that salon and I was crying to 564 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: that lady, Oh my god? Did she was she sympathetic? Did? 565 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: She said? Had a client there in a chair, and 566 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: I made a scene. I was like, you burned my 567 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: hair ball at this and I started ripping hair of 568 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: my head. WHOA does the scene? So you were willing 569 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: to sacrifice more hair from your already dwindling scalp. All too, Sorry, 570 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. And she gave me like 571 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: a product for free. By the way, I paid for it. 572 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 1: I paid her loads of money. Yeah, did she never 573 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: give me back the money, of course, not no, but 574 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: you did. What was the product? Was it more relaxer? No, 575 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 1: it was some some joel, you know, something like moisturizing 576 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: that obviously didn't keep my hair on my head. But 577 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: that was the promise she gave. I got you that 578 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 1: it was going to help to keep the hair from 579 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: did not. Obviously, it's wow. Well you remember that lady's name. 580 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: Should we should we shout her out one time, send 581 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: people to her her wonderful salon for more of her 582 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: impressive work. People, if you're ever in the Europe, don't 583 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: get your hair done in Europe. Just don't just wait 584 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: and carried out. Don't do it in Europe. Don't do it. 585 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: That's if you're going to France, just go the way 586 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: you are. Don't don't try to impress all these French 587 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: people with your your new hair, because sisters and brothers, 588 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: it ain't gonna work. It's it's gonna turn into something 589 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: you didn't plan for it. All right, we're gonna take 590 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: one more break. We'll be back with more Bianca, Christoph 591 00:36:53,880 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: Alan more. My mama told me, man, we are back. 592 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: People who were enslavery wished that they had curveside service 593 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: at Applebee's. Yeah, we're back here with more Bianca Christoval more. 594 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: My mama told me, we're still talking about the possibility 595 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: that you're frying your brains. Ladies and gentlemen, you are melt, 596 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: melting your insides when you put these these products in 597 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 1: your hair, and specifically, the white man is the one 598 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: that wants you to do this. Now here's where the 599 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: research for me becomes especially interesting because I kept, I 600 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: asked you a few times, what do you think the 601 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: white man's goal is in sort of like creating these 602 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: products and and asking black people to relax their hair. 603 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: And one of the things that it reminded me of 604 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 1: is the the sort of rich history this country has 605 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: of forcing black people will to wear their hair not 606 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: naturally in public spaces in order to to be presentable, 607 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. Mhm. There is a 608 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: ship ton of there are rather a ship ton of 609 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: examples of historically, and we've talked about a few of 610 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: them on the podcast already, of people being forced to 611 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: either cut their hair or treat their hair with products 612 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: in order to sort of be made more presentable for 613 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 1: workspaces and school spaces based on sort of white administrations 614 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: and overseers. Oh yeah, no, it's a it's it's a 615 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: real problem. And they, you know, it's so funny. They 616 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 1: do it even to themselves. I have friends, white friends 617 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: who have curly hair, and they tell me, like if 618 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 1: when my hair is curly, I have less men approaching me, 619 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: whereas my hair is straight, more men come up to me. 620 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: That happens to even like white woman. It's not you know, 621 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: it's bizarre. It's a bizarre thing. Yeah. I mean some 622 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: of it feels like it can be chocked up to 623 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: to socialization, right that, like you socialize enough and are 624 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: sort of like given these images of what is attractive 625 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: over and over again, and then those images become permanent 626 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: in a person's brain, whether intentional or unintentional. And so 627 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: that part I can sort of make sense of for 628 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 1: the white people, but I think for the black people. 629 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: I I especially think about like these stories of like 630 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 1: children who were sent home where I don't know if 631 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: you ever saw it, but there was that video of 632 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: like that kid who was on the wrestling team and 633 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: was forced to literally cut his dreads before a wrestling match, 634 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: and had a bunch of white people cutting his dreads before. Yeah, No, 635 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: it's it's a heartbreaking image to to sort of take in. 636 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: But they're literally surrounding him cutting his dreads off before 637 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,479 Speaker 1: a wrestling match because the breath decided that his hair 638 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: wasn't legal for the match, as if it had somehow 639 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 1: allowed him an advantage that uh, this husky white boy 640 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: he was about to flip on his back head, you 641 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Horrific, terrific it is. Yeah, obviously, 642 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: like the black hair has always been like a conversation debate, 643 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: and uh, and the relaxers are part of it, I suppose, yes, 644 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: I think I think even more devastating. One of the 645 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: things that I started to think about is like, uh, 646 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: the new laws that that are truly just coming into 647 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: place now. I think it was like earlier this year 648 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 1: for the first time that Congress had even been able 649 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: to introduce a potential law that says it's illegal to 650 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: tell black people or people of color that they have 651 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: to change their hair in order to participate eight in workplaces. Yeah, 652 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, it's so interesting because like 653 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: you know, you see, it was very interesting for me 654 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: to to to see even Michelle Obama never never with 655 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: her hair, you know, natural, like never not once. And 656 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think that is in a way, you know, 657 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,919 Speaker 1: that's an interesting observation. You know, I'm not saying she's 658 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,399 Speaker 1: wrong for it. I just think it's interesting that we've 659 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: never seen it. Well, no, I think I think to 660 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: that point, it's what makes these conversations so complicated, right, 661 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: is like you find yourself in a position where the 662 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: world is expecting you to look a certain way, and 663 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: then we as as black people, as people taking in 664 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: these these people in positions of power, go well, why 665 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: won't you represent us the way we need to be represented? 666 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 1: And it becomes this weird in fighting rather than sort 667 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: of recognizing that the real danger is a group of 668 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: people suggesting that the way that we were in the 669 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: first place was not satisfactory, that it didn't it didn't 670 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: work as we would like it to work. Yeah, I 671 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 1: mean with that said, you know, bottom line is that 672 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: if you have any type of power or attention in 673 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: media and you do represent in a natural way, it 674 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: does inspire a little girl. So remember my story about Beyonce. 675 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to like Beyonce. Now, Beyonce I think is 676 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: arguably extremely a positive you know influence. You know, for 677 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 1: young girls or you know back in the day, was 678 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: But who else inspired me to actually turn the natural 679 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 1: uh to to go natural journey was Kellyes, remember when 680 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: she came up with my milk shape, so so she 681 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: had natural hair and so it was like like one 682 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: of the first people I saw rocking her natural hairs 683 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: like that, yeah, be me. And then you know, I 684 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: gave up the relaxers and like, yeah, I thinking who 685 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: I am right now? And I think to that point, 686 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: it's It's part of the reason why representation is such 687 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: a hearty conversation shan right, is that it's not just 688 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 1: about needing to see an equal number of black people 689 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: to white people whatever, but it's saying that, like, if 690 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: we can show the actual diversity of what black people 691 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: look like, I can make more conscientious decisions about what 692 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: I should look like and what I should be doing 693 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: with my own body. That it maybe Beyonce is not 694 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: for all of us, and some of us need to 695 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: go the route of Calie or the route of fucking 696 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: Viola Davis or whoever to to help us see ourselves 697 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: out in the world. I love it and signed hell yeah, 698 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: well we've got two signatures so far. And if anybody 699 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: else wants to say, I don't know anybody else. So 700 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: this is it. We're gonna We're gonna send a petition 701 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: of two signatures to the government and say please stop 702 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: making relaxers, and they'll say what and and probably have 703 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 1: us murdered by the CIA. That's you know, relaxers. They 704 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: will have us murdered with relaxers. Sure, they're gonna dip 705 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 1: us in relaxer, much like that puppy that Garrett Morgan 706 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: dipped in the in the relaxer. And I have to say, 707 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: there's no evidence. I couldn't find any research that said 708 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: how long that dog lived after Garrett Morgan did that 709 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: to him. But I got to assume he didn't break 710 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: any records, you know what I mean. This wasn't a 711 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 1: dog that uh that made it to like twenty two. 712 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: I thought, you're gonna say, there's no evidence that he 713 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: actually harmed this dog. I thought, that's what you're gonna say. 714 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: Oh no, I've been very clear. He harmed the funk 715 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: out of that dog, and then he like he wrought 716 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 1: about it himself. That's how we know. Who knows. I 717 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: don't know if he wrote about it. Yeah, I'm sure 718 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: the neighbor wrote about it, like this black guy's torturing 719 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: my dog. He's like, I keep my dog keeps going 720 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,479 Speaker 1: missing and coming back sexier than before. My dog goes away, 721 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: and then my dog comes back and I really want 722 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 1: to fuck my dog. And I don't know why, but 723 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: I think that Garrett Morgan has something to do with it. Well, Beyonca, 724 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: I think we did it. I think I think this 725 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 1: was This was a lovely conversation.
