In every Black community you see them on every other corner the infamous Beauty supply store, but did you know that most of the products that they are selling are slowly killing Black women, and girls because of the carcinogens in the products.
This is what is known as environmental racism when one race of people is targeted through products sold or placed in their environment.
There has been research done about this issue, even though they are not publicized by the media, and this is purposely to keep the Black communities unaware so that they can continue to buy products intended to kill them.
Theres no need or reason for another race to see this as an issue or for it to be alarming to them, mainly in part because there are no businesses in their neighborhoods trying to kill them or their kind specifically.
Carmen J Marsh PH. D a chemist and professor at Emory University of Environmental Health searched the carcinogens in beauty supply products and the results are shocking to say the least.
Scientist tested 10 of the leading synthetic hair products and found Benzene which has been proven that long time exposure can cause leukemia, especially what is known as (AML) Acute Myeloid Leukemia known for affecting blood cell production and harming Bone marrow.

Now the fact that this chemical has been proven and found to be in some of these synthetic hair care products, now the question is the harmful effects on the Black girls and women that are wearing these products.

Benzene has also been linked to breast cancer which is disproportionately higher in Black women under the age of 50 have a higher death rate when compared to white women. Many will say that this is a coincidence, but those with common sense will see the truth of the matter and the bigger picture.

Now if these beauty stores were selling poisonous hair products and beauty supplies to European, Asian, or Jewish communities then these businesses would be shut down and this would be a crisis in this country, also headline news.
How many Black women and young black girls are being poisoned, and they don't even have a clue or an option because they are on every corner in every Black Neighborhood in this country.
Why is it that another race can be allowed into the Black communities to sell them dangerous products that can put their lives in jeopardy.
Death by beauty is not a mainstream issue in this country because there are no other races that are dealing with this in their communities, so why would they care or want to know about what's killing Black people.
