Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today, we are going to talk about a racist creation, a drug invented to control populations, which devastated the fertility of an entire nation. That drug? Birth Control.
Tune in next week for more dark history.
You can find the Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my CZcams for the visual side of things.

“If a man is suffering, only then does change follow.” -Bailey Sarian, 2021
Such a true statement!
That statemen pretty much also covers the reason why there is no hormonal birth control pill for men; the sideeffects are deemed too brutal for men to endure.
especially cis-het white men-
just like why the aids crisis took so long to address, it wasn't taken seriously until straight people got it.
@@LadyAmarra1 only there hasn't been change BECAUSE of the pain they expect so it's kind of the opposite
True!
Male doctors telling women "it's all in your head" --- times never change.
Women doctors also tell women "it's all in your head"
yah I am the daughter of a male Ob/Gyn doctor....sad to say I can attest to that :-(
Doctors in general just need to listen better. My female doctor told me to fix spinal curvature by laying down flat on the grown for a couple hours every night 😂
Truth!
Exactly. Was told that just today when i went to see my dr for severe headaches. "your headache pain can't be that bad. You're on pain meds already." Then asked if I'm exaggerating a little bit.
As a puertorrican woman, I am so glad you made this episode because not a lot of people know about this. Its not even taught in school over here, its really hush hush still. I learned it through my family. So thank you for educating people on this.
! yes ! 👍🏻
Makes me cry because Bailey is talking about what happened to the women in my family. This impacts how I feel about doctors, free clinics, government programs…to this day.
The fictional things or those marketed with it?
Also, i think its important to talk about how man should be responsible for getting someone pregnant too. A man birth control its been delayed for decades, even when it could be safer and easier (no hormonal).
If the fight its for equality, woman shouldn’t be the only ones responsible for avoiding pregnancy.
✨PREACH✨
Speaking complete facts
Agree 100 but also i would still ne having borth control pills cuz period pain is awful. But yeah men should tale the responsability too
The thing is, most women (me included) would not trust men to take it every day. If they forget, we're still the ones with a big problem...
Girl this is legit one of the best ideas I've ever heard and dont understand why it's not a thing yet.
women’s health as a whole has a terrifying history. modern day gynecology was created by a man who experimented on slaves. it’s just so heartbreaking how many women have suffered in the past and present to have the knowledge we know today about our own bodies
Petition for an episode of dark history about this
Even then our knowledge is still limited ☹️ I saw a documentary that said most universities don’t even have menopause in basic GP curriculum 😳 and everything thing we know about Menopause treatment is based on false evidence and it’s only in the last 2 years they are learning more about hormones therapy and how to treat menopause.
Too many don't want to talk about how the "father" of gynecology experimented on black women/slaves. But what evs😑😑
@@g.molina3269 ah yes and thats when they said black people dont feel pain so no anesthetics smh.
Ironic how to this day men think they’re entitled to an opinion on women’s health & pregnancy. Uneducated men at that.
Imagine teachers rolling out that tv cart to play dark history to teach the kids 😅
They might learn more and retain it longer.
Mine would have, fact is fact! 🤣🤣
Henrietta Lacks story is amazing. Her cells have saved women through this world. Science labs still use her cells. My heart goes out to her severe suffering with uterine cancer and the horrible medical treatment she received at John Hopkins hospital.
Saved nothing, made it worse in vaccines . As we are at Dark history better fo down on the rabbit hole about those cells HeLla cells
I was just thinking this. If Bailey hasn’t done a video on Henrietta Lacks, she should. One of the worst and saddest cases in medical history.
@@HadenBlake are you joking? The only way you’re able to conceptualize the story being sad is if it held back advancement? Are you serious?
They wrote a book about her and her ordeal, the unfortunate treatment of her, interviews of her present day family and their fight for recognition for the contribution she made to medicine. And it was a BIG ONE! AN EXCELLENT BOOK!
"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"
Rebecca Skloot
A MUST READ!
Women's health historically was a nightmare, the more I learn the more horrified I am
And still kind of is :(

Oui oui😝
I think I am going to start using that in my classroom... 'nay nay'
So, basically we're immortals?
Bailey, I am a history major literally one class away from a bachelor’s and I cannot explain how much I love these videos! They are so well informed and the fact that you are drawing from scholarly articles?! AND you cite them?? It’s wonderful!
Thank you for sharing this!!! In Puerto Rico this is like a terror story that is never told, is not even taught at school. Thank you for educating about this matter, as a Puertorrican woman, I appreciate it. BTW! This is not the only thing we have been used to test, this subject is a whole rabbit hole
Having a true crime addiction, being a history nerd, loving makeup and fun hair, and my wardrobe consisting of almost all dark colors means that Bailey videos feel like home.
I’m coming from the opposite direction.
I wasn’t a true crime addict, a history nerd, my hair is a wild mess & makeup and myself have a love hate relationship.
But, I LOVE Bailey & all of her videos!!
I’m fully engaged through every video. Her makeup/hair/voice/storytelling/everything is a perfect storm.
It's too bad she can't stop the "sing-song" of story
I get a headache

“Adult acne is honestly so rude”
-Bailey Sarian
I thought acne was a puberty thing
@@hoovesderpy8140 I wished it stopped at puberty. I have the most oily skin ever. 😢
Er e er rr yyeiu@@hoovesderpy8140 fizz z
Supes agree
Fully agree, I didn't get acne as a teen but did when I hit 30 😭😭
On the topic of women’s health, can you talk about all of the side effects of hormonal birth control on the brain, and how drs tend to gas light the symptoms away? Everyone is only concerned about physical symptoms, but very few talk about the psychological symptoms it can produce.
I KNOWWWW RIGHT
It was only marketed with, “vaccine.”
I never thought my homeland would be in dark history. I did a presentation on this topic on my first year of my bachelor's degree. And the thing is, this isn't the only experimentation they have done on us.
imagine how fun a sleepover with Bailey would be
Im down to participate in one 😂

“She became a nurse and that’s when she realized how bad the healthcare system is”
Same girl, same.
Me too
Same here.
Same.
Its sickening and I feel helpless sometimes turning away people because they have no insurance or other forms of payments is getting to me especially during these times always wanted to be a nurse and now I'm rethinking my whole career path mentally drained😔🥺
@@brittanycrawl7858 it's sad, that it's the reality..I cannot even imagine what you have to go through. I'm so sorry.. 😔
Anytime I heard old Margaret's name I would get upset. That lady was something else.😒 There's a reason there are more Planned Parenthood clinics in poor/ minority neighborhoods.
Exactly!
She wants to exterminate minorities, she said it herself.
Because poor people cannot afford birth control, and there is help out there for them
@@sherryhudson9075 But why the emphasis on minority neighborhoods?
Statistically though... poor people and the under educated have more kids. Not saying it implying anything other than those numbers are just true. That said, numbers alone don't hurt anyone. It's the conclusions people then draw or how they use them for manipulative efforts and fear tactics that causes the fear/harm.
I would love to hear a dark history on the Radium Girls…little known story on how girls were basically made to inject radioactive materials in factories
Or on the Quaker Oats company and U.S government working together to feed mentally disabled children radioactive oatmeal in the 1950s. Without the children or their parent's knowledge.
Didn’t she already cover the radium girls in one of her Monday episodes?
I think you mean ingest. They were consuming it not injecting it. I'm assuming you already know that and this was just a typo. Have you seen the movie?
@@burgermeowster Geez. This is unbelievable
She just did one
I'm puertorrican and both my mother and my grandmother were victims of birth control testing and forced sterilization... I'm happy you are using your platform to educate others on this because people don't know about it
“Adult acne is so rude” that is a mood
i was looking for this comment bahahhaa
Big ol' mood! Lol
It’s SO rude!
Gynecology has a dark history in general. There was so much racism in research that led to much of modern gynecology and obstetrics.
I'm just glad Bailey is getting so many sponsors in one video/podcast, I was like 'Yeess sis' get that coin' sh deserves it
As a Puertorican I'm glad you are talking about this.... not many people know what United States government does to my people! Yes, it is upsetting, but more people need to know the truth and I am very thankful that you decided to spread the word! I love you Bailey!❤🇵🇷❤
I’m so sorry for the pain your people have endured…
Mind blowing stuff! Learning in NZ today
Nevermind they used the people of Puerto Rico and the African American people as test subjects for LSD etc etc
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I am with you Puertorican sister I'm so glad that some like Bailey that has so much influence is talking about this and letting people know what's been going on for hundred thousand years or so and is still happening today Thank you Bailey ❤️ 🇵🇷
Bailey is like gossip girl but historian version, uncovering all that dirt on people 😂😂😂💔
Jokes aside I admire that she's educating people in a fun and engaging way ^^
I definitely agree with you. She makes History fun.
I use her videos in my history classes sometimes!!! We love it!
Completely agree.👍 I've subscribed to this channel. I love it.👍
Absolutely agree
Yes yes
I TOTALLY LOVED that you are bringing this up. I am from Arecibo my uncle was a nurse at that time and he told me all those scary stories. Puertorrican woman became guinea pigs. The birth defects were rampant afterwards on the child of the Moms who took it.
I’m from Puerto Rico & didn’t even know this (mostly bc I live under a rock) but I’m glad you’re shedding some light & truth to everyone about this. I’m certain now that this isn’t the only time US Government has done experiments in our land, I’m very curious about what else has happened that I’m not even aware of… Thanks Bailey!
Is taboo in our culture. But you learn it at college/university in humanities classes...some local (P.R.) news have make documental episodes about this in our history since our colonization by USA.
wow, I can’t really remember if they taught us anything about this in college but Bailey’s way of telling us makes things 1000x better, fun, and more easy to understand.
The dark & cruel past of psychology/psychiatry would be a great topic for this podcast.
I love your username and pfp
Yes plz
YES
Phlebotomists !!!
YES!!!!
As a Puerto Rican woman currently living on the island this story is very hard to me. In school they did NOT educate us about this horrible history. This has opened my mind and shook me to my core!
Que bueno que ahora sabes este pedazo horrible de nuestra historia como colonia de los estados unidos. En youtube está La Operación (documental) completo. Tienes que verlo ♡
Same girl, same.
There is so much history of Puerto Rico that was never taught in general. Maybe time to do your own research & learn your own history & culture on our own. Not by a third party. There are some great books on it all as well! 🇵🇷
Yeah unfortunately our countries don’t tell us the true stories on many things!
Don't ever count on schools to tell your history. I'm black American and I knew of this from a friend. My elders told me MY history
Would love a dark history on the Stanford prison experiment
no joke
Can you please do a dark history of Puerto Rico?!? Puerto Rico is a colony and we need as many people to understand and help fight the oppression that keeps Puerto Rican’s suffering. TY!
Margaret was an OG racist and I’m so happy that people, especially women are waking up to see this. She’s a monster. 🙌🏻
OG?
Jessika Pries ik what she mean by that 💀🤨
A Great Aunt of mine was in those trials, she’s a monster for sure, everyone forgets this history of the birth control and how Boricuas are taken advantage of still
OG=original gangster. (Original racist)
Jan yes she was!
50 years of not knowing what it does, and doctors still don't listen when we say it effects moods, etc.
Yes! And it's the instant answer for any off feeling/symtom women have. Painful period? *birth control pill. Acne? *birth control pill. Migraines, heavy bleeding, unscheduled period, low libido.... * birth control pill. Never investigate the undelying cause. Ugh.
It doesn't just effect moods. It literally effects the brain. Besides tricking the body into thinking it pregnant, so that it doesn't get pregnant, it messes with how your brain works. Say a teenager gets pregnant. The way they think changes. If you've ever known someone who was pregnant and their personality changed while they were, that's the hormones. Inducing that chemically to teen girls, who are already learning to navigate their hormonal changes and the emotions that brings, tricking their body into thinking it's pregnant is worse. Put a teen on birth control that they end up taking for years or decades and their brain is a pregnant teenager for that time and doesn't mature the way it's supposed to. So many many women are walking around with teen pregnancy brain and don't even realize it. And women, because I'm not sure about men, but women's brains aren't fully mature until age 25.
@@vikinggoddess2126 You are 100% correct. I salute you Viking goddess😊
@@sueconklin9175 I'll say that it helped me with painful periods and heavy bleeding (this was a major issue). I ended up having surgery for a fibroid tumor. But birth control pills can cause migraines and other issues like high blood pressure. I don't take it anymore because things got better with my surgery.
I hate how dismissive doctors about women problems, so many women with endometriosis and severe pain during their periods were told they're exaggerating when it was simply not the case, it's always insinuated in medical school that women's pain is not important or it can't be that bad they're just being emotional you know women being women and I hate every bit of this micro misogyny
The whole project had obvious racist, classist and ableist implications. That they had the audacity to determine who has the right to plan their families as they’d like is so elitist and disgusting.
Honey, every time I hear anyone saying that hey want to “ empower women” it reminds of MLM ( Multi Level Marketing)…now those MLMs are dark! And every single time they “ empower women “ they really want to IMPOVERISH women
I’m Puerto Rican and during my general studies education I did a research paper on this subject, and I was livid to say the least. Afterwards I understood why all of the older women in my family were sterilized in their youth. My grandmother wasn’t given a choice she was just told that it was best for her. It’s all so f**cked up 🤬
😭 that’s so sad
Oh nooo that’s awful 😤😤🤯🤯🤬🤬
Also some sterilizations weren't disclosed to women after having 2-3 children. I'm from PR too 💖

@@ximar0ckstrx so much love to you friend ❤️
Thank you, Bailey, for having the courage to speak the Truth. So many follow blindly without any thought to the intentions of those who push their agendas onto others. Keep on being you, always. You are appreciated!
as a Puertorican woman myself, I want to say thank you for this episode 🇵🇷❤ you truly are my favorite!!
I would really love to hear a Dark History on the Tuskagee Study - A horribly racist study on untreated syphilis in the black community in the 1930s. It is awful and insane what happened. Love your Dark History series!
Ooohhhh yesssss.
i heard about this! it is extremely intresting and id love to see baileys perspective
yes !! i learned about this while getting my psychology degree. it’s insanely unethical and infamous in the psychological world.
I just posted this and then seen your message.
That's Dark alright. One of the darkest in American history.
I swear, Bailey is teaching me more than I ever learned in my 13 years of school…
Same
Same
Right!!!
Did you sleep through class or something?
And she makes it sound intriguing and mysterious too!
When I wanted to stop my birth control because I couldn't recognize my body anymore with all the added hormones, my doctor kept pushing that I try another form or else I'd pregnant. He had zero regard for the health concerns I had.
they dont really care it's just "normal" side effects no its not if your body tells u stop 🛑 stop
don't take them for there profit not worth it
I wanted to get my tubes removed after my third child. I’m 37 my children are 17,15, 1 and they are all girls. They refused to do it. Instead they clamped them. It’s frustrating because you have to get your significant others permission to get fixed! Thank you for sharing the history.
You should do a dark history of gynaecology, like how they experimented on black women without anaesthesia and said that they didn’t feel pain, and that’s how the speculum was invented (no wonder it’s so uncomfortable) and how women have worse healthcare treatment and outcomes, and how black women have even worse treatment and outcomes.
YES PLEASE.
Yess!!!
Yes this was so horrible! I only learned about it through a women’s health class in college. Black people were given syphillis to be test subjects as well
😔 personal opinion, doctors still don’t care. Look up Hisashi Ouchi. He was in excruciating pain for the sake of experimenting health.
yess!!!!
The Dark History of Psychology and Psychiatry would be a great episode, especially how many women were locked away for “hysteria” during menopause and even during their menstrual cycle not to mention not “obeying” their husbands or even promiscuity 🤦🏻♀️
Layola and Delgado (New Orleans)
Also looking into the history of lobotomies!
Yup i read up on that. Insane. Or even if you had issues like being born deaf in one ear but consider insane.. only to learn decades later all those people needed were hearing aids .. not electric shock therapy
And of homosexuality as well.
Don’t forget, when a woman aged and got “boring” , because a divorce was frowned upon, the woman would magically go crazy and be institutionalised. All of a sudden dipshiet has a new, young wife that would probably end up the same as previous one.
Awesome video Bailey! Thank you so much for putting out this informative content that I always enjoy listening to. There’s a part I wanted to clarify though. Where you said birth control isn’t necessary. In some cases it is necessary. people use it to ease endometriosis pain and to help treat a condition where they have periods twice a month.
Thank you beautiful angel for covering this 🥺💞SHOUTOUT TO THOSE STRONG PUERTORRICAN WOMEN , QUEEN'S THEMSELVES . I can't believe they and so many other women had to go through so much bs
The forgotten radium girls would be a great deep dive for dark history!
Yes I second that🙋♀️
Yassssss
agreeeeed!!!
Absolutely!!!
yesssss
My mom always said that nothing was approved for women unless it benefited men. I thought she was super cynical, as I age I totally get it.
@Lala Grace Your mom is a very wise woman way ahead of her time. Yeah mom!
As my gram always said to me, "don't ever forget Jame, it's a man's world" and I agree with all of you LL adies!
On the flip side nothing gets approved for man unless it benefits women, because it's about efficiency, benefiting most parties, not ignorance, but lets just pretend otherwise.
Love the music in the background at the end. I mean this one was repeating, but I love hearing some dim notes while Bailey is talking! So soothing!
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. U.S.A. has done terrible things to us. Thanks for this episode. I love your channel. 😊
Bailey: "She spoke at a women of the KKK rally"
Me: ***gasping***
Bailey: "Yeah I know. Shocking."
EXACTLY my reaction! :D
She also founded Planned Parenthood with the mission to eradicate the black community by marketing abortion towards black women. Planned Parenthood still disproportionately targets black women for abortions and nearly half of the black population has been eradicated due to abortion.

Bailey, never get down on yourself for being uninformed. It's not a reflection on your intelligence, but on the way things get covered up. You're obviously curious and bright and open to learning, and that is such an important thing. I love how you research things and explain them. You're a pretty smart cookie!
Lol believe me, she's not. Wow, you must think Lindsay Lohan was a great actress.
This show is completely scripted by writing crew not including bailey unfortunately she's not as smart and curious, just an aspiring actress working her way up...
@@shariahmetzger2786 Even though the podcast is new and made by a team of people (including Bailey), her youtube-series has been on for years at this point and has been incredible from the very beginning. Please take your negativity elsewhere.
@@shariahmetzger2786 It is obvious that Ms Sarian is not a standard university educated media personality and that is what is so refreshing about her. Are you aware that many artworks considered to be masterpieces, such as The Last Supper and many other old school historical and religious paintings were done collaboratively ? Think about the size of those paintings and understand that many hands were involved.
Many shows on You Tube are scripted; it is much harder than you might think to speak on a topic for even 20 minutes extemporaneously. Even as a very well educated and literate person I can attest to that - nerves for a start!
Bailey Sarian has come from nowhere and has built up a following which she is now using to highlight issues which are dear to her heart and she is now a very successful You Tube personality who attracts sponsorship deals and designs and sells her own merchandise. She has collaborated with cosmetic firms in promoting her own range of nail polish and other sponsorship deals.
I am a much older lady and am very impressed with this young woman's drive and style - there are plenty of other more polished media personalities but personally I find the corporate bottle blondes on tv quite boring.
Most tv companies are still run by male executives, which is possibly why you won't see a frank discussion of contraception or any other issues exclusively affecting women on tv.
Women never seem to support other women.
bailey talks to us like we're besties, I love it
Glad folks are finding out the truth. The truth is much more shocking than the false construct most are taught in these "institutions". This was a great post!
Thank you for not being scared to share the truth & literal dark history on this subject.
Not a very fun fact: During wars, sometimes soldiers would get STDs on purpose to be discharged and sent home
Wow. Not too hard to believe.
Discharged for a discharge?!?
@@r.b.johnson5269 Nice one 😉
Yikes
Some very dark history speaking to that...comfort girls ww2 look that horrible piece of history up!
I’m from Puerto Rico, still live here and this has been talked about in history classes in college NON STOP!
So proud Bailey ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I learned about this in my women's study class in uni but many don't know this and every woman should know about this. Ty Bailey!
This was such a great episode! It would be amazing if you did one on HELA cells. There’s a book about Henrietta Lacks that I think you’d enjoy. Definitely great for a dark history episode!
I waited to watch this one because who knew we'd moving backwards; our women's rights are being attacked. Abortions and BC choices are already being stripped as options and it's not going to stop there. The most affected are minorities still to this day. Thank you for doing this important story.
This🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
bailey is the blueprint for every history teacher to follow from here on out, the next gen deserves to be informed in such an entertaining and easy to follow manner. like SERIOUSLY.
can I get an AMEN!
SO TRUE! This is how my history teacher 10 and 11th grade taught and I still remember those classes well.
fr i love history teachers that actually make it seem like interesting juicy drama😭💀 makes me actually wanna listen
@@paintedlady56 AMEN!!!
You guys do realize this all scripted right? Look at the credits.
I’d really love a Dark History on the sterilization of the Native American women in the 70’s
Continuing into today
American eugenics. Began in the 40s on poor white immigrants. Check it out.
Yes...and I love your name, so beautiful.
Also, anyone who was disabled or was determined to be morally "unfit". A wild time for sure. Eugenics in and of itself is a huge topic with a huge awful history.
Yes ! I second this!
So tragic… 😢 prayers for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 in Yeshua’s holy name we pray for their people and all of South America 🇺🇸 our indigenous cousins 💔💔💔🖤🇨🇦
I'm from Puerto Rico and I think it's amazing that you are sharing this story. Very few people know how our ancestors were treated like lab rats time and time again.
This entire thing is a singular story of endless things done in the name of imperialism to colonized people. As a Puerto Rican woman, I am so so so happy to hear you talk about this.
Same!
Same here too
Same here
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
As a Urology nurse for 17 years I assisted with hundreds of vasectomies. How easy! Men should get one! Not open abdominal surgery, on their feet in a couple of days. 48 hours with full control of the remote...what's the downside? It's also reversible.
That is exact reason we agreed for my husband to have a vasectomy 🙂
My husband refused even though he’s a doctor and fully understood the simplicity of a vasectomy vs a tubal ligation. He was just as stubborn about other issues and we’re no longer together.
@@lindajohnsonkaplan7725 you go girl!! ✨
Just want to say I love hearing you tell these stories. I started listening to mystery and makeup on Facebook and now I can't get enough...I listen all day at work on CZcams. Thank you and keep sharing!!!
Im so glad you talked about this!! whenever I talk to even other Puerto Rican’s they don’t seem to know the horrible history…
Can we appreciate Bailey's effort and her work to bring interesting subjects.
i love her! she's enertaining and informative ❤
She never fails to tell us something interesting
She's amazing.. She's captivating.. I could listen/watch her all day. But not in a creepy stalkery way. Lol
we can always appreciate bailey
YESSSS SOMEONE IS FINALLY TALKING ABOUT THIS!!! I’m Puerto Rican and my grandmother would tell me about it and I just couldn’t believe we were used like that. I and mainly people in my family still suffer from infertility.
Heartbreaking! Big companies just don't care about the actual people. Just money.
So sorry 💔💔
I struggle with infertility and was born in Puerto Rico.. I wonder.. and so sorry 💔
I am so horrified and so sorry to hear this...was the infertility passed on genetically due to these birth control medications? Just listening to this story gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes because of how people were used and abused in the most horrific ways, as if they didnt matter in this world. Sending a prayer your way for your health and peace.
@@houseki4085 I’m not sure if it was, but a lot of people think it is. There are also many special needs and autistic I’ve met on the island and within my own family (from there).
😳
I’m glad you’re doing this bc sadly many people simply do not know their history and some people will simply say, that’s not true without even doing the research if they don’t want to believe it. Or my personal favorite, who cares? It’s history. It was a long time ago. It doesn’t matter now. Oh, nay, nay. It does matter.
Every episode gets better and better!! You are absolutely hilarious😂 and I always learn something! Great job Bailey!
I find it hilarious that the podcast is actually called DARK History, but Darling Bailey tries to end it on a happy note 😆 stay you, we love you!
that's why we stan our queen. morbid/weird/awful subject matter but you don't feel as icky when you watch her version bc of her goofy personality.
She’s like a dark cloud with a sunshine personality and it’s adorable. Like she’s amazing
The story is still the dark part of the video, not her. Never
She makes something sick sound sweet and I'm loving it 😍
Oh
The way she tells her stories are literally how I used to study for my history exams, just one big gossip session with myself
Bailey!! You are amazing! Love the Dark History Lessons!
Your personality is a blessing to all of us. Thank u bailey
You’re story telling is the BEST!!!❤❤❤ You would be great at cartoon voiceovers
This is sadly so common historically with people of color being used in the medical field without informed consent. Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee, there are so many examples! Thank you for speaking on these matters. 🖤
Yes. She should do the Tuskegee experiment. It was so disgusting and people don't even know the 1/2 of it. I knew about Rosewood but she went into a lot deeper detail.
Exactly why I'm not getting the jab
Or how Gynecology at it's core begining is horrible and James Marion Sims "father of modern gynaecology torture black women by practicing C-sections on them with no anesthesia or medication.
I highly suggest the book; Medical Apartheid.
Yes. It's barbaric. As well as the mentality I'll and prisoners and prisoners or war!
My mother literally died from her birth control. She formed tons of blood clots in her lungs and suddenly collapsed one day, she was only 34 years old.
Sorry for your loss 🥺
Ppl aren’t even aware that their blood clots, cancers(plural) blindness is caused by them using birth control maybe as teens for acne...it’s horrifying. Esp when learning the truth abt the male FDA approved bc pill in the early 2000... 🤢
@@miracraigfan1738 I had a blood clot in my lung 2 years ago.. went to the hospital for something else and they discovered it and a problem with my heart.. I got lucky it was caught and treated ..
@@TheJessicahammerly I’m so happy you got the help that u needed & got “lucky” as u said...
Wowwwww that is the reason I cannot take birth control! I had blood clots in my lungs, luckily they found them. Sorry for your loss!
I'm obsessed with this podcast! Awesome breakdown, Bailey!
This was an interesting dive. I was hoping you would touch on Sanger's connection to Planned Parenthood too.
I really appreciate when people try to educate themselves and learn something new however, I'm also amazed at the amount of information that people have just no clue about. Education is so important.
Same... and when u do try to tell others they call you a conspiracy theorist 🙄
@@nomdeplume2213 girl, you took the words right out of my mouth!!
Yeah, education IS important so people can have a clue about “information they have no clue about”
@@nomdeplume2213 many " conspiracies " end up being true....and that's the scary part
@@mikhay144 what evidence for this claim, do you have? Where you there?
Wives of KKK members. "That's just racism with fewer calories". You're a treasure Bailey. Keep up the great work!
You should do an episode of what’s happening now with the abortion law and stuff, so more people will be aware because we all listen to you!
I and many African Americans already knew all this information but it is so nice to see someone from a different race educate themselves and their viewers on black issues. Go Bailey!
My biggest flex is almost knowing Bailey is about to say “nay,nay”😂
My favvvv!!!
@@DyslexicMitochondria Your username made me click on ur profile. Your channeI is a hidden gem bro
Qui qui haha
Same!
I'm a desendant / family member of some of the women in the trial. I've also done some research on the topic. Some extra information: (1) the trial continued after the pill was released because they couldn't get the dosages correct. They're was very little oversight on the program, which in it of itself is terrifying, understand these women were US citizens and were supposed to be under the care of the FDA. There is some evidence that suggests that they used double the dosages deemed safe for human trials because of racist beliefs that women of color could handle more medication or that our bodies were genetically different (this is also true of the understanding of women's body's in general & we still have issues with dosages today). (2) Puerto Rican women died during the trial most likely caused by the pill (these were otherwise healthy young women), because most of these women were extremely poor it was common practice to bury their bodies in communal burial plots (essentially unmarked graves, my father told me stories of seeing that type of burial & it is horrifying), exhumimg their bodies after burial would be nearly impossible and getting an autopsy was unheard of in these communities. This was by design by the people running the trials. (3) because Puerto Rico is a commonwealth we don't have control over all of our politics (some were/ are appointed by the US) even those elected tend to have connections & it is common for corruption on the local level. At the time the US military was testing military weapons in the island and it was common practice for companies to test products on the island and it's people. Not to mention huge tax incentives & minimal oversight. No one was looking out for the befit of the local population and we are still dealing with the 'fallout'.
It's horrible! Thank you for speaking up ♥️
I already shared the video, lets make it go viral, history should not be forgotten!
Thank you for speaking out! They've done this in African countries and in countries and communities of color. Disgusting and horrible. In my opinion that is why minority and communities of color have internal trauma and brokenness that is unique to them that they have to fight through to not look through the lens through the lens of life.
Wow thank you for this, strong beautiful angel
Puerto Rico was/is abused horribly. But it seems a theme in US history for American governance to allow and even encourage the misuse of minorities, the disabled, the poor, and female.
I’d love to see a video on the forced sterilization that took place in the US between 1907 and 1963. Women would go to court and have to prove they weren’t undesirable to society. It was very difficult to prove this, and many were forcibly sterilized. I’m not sure if that’s the exact story, that’s why I’d love to see a video explaining the history and research. 🙂
I didn't know about how the pill came to be this is both crazy/ dark, messed up story 😳 thank you for telling us this part of history Bailey 🖤
