An Email my Dad sent me about the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

[Quixote1818]

From my Dad, who actually voted for Hillary:

I checked the Internet for the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. One site I looked at was the following:
<http://www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmtuskegee1.html>. I'm surprised Bill Clinton didn't come to Reverend Wright's rescue on the AIDS statement because Bill had made a long apology for the Tuskegee experiment back in the 90's. You can see why many blacks are still so suspicious of what the government might do to them. Dan Abrams keeps calling the AIDS statement "unthinkable." I'll send him this to educate him a little as to why it wasn't so unthinkable.

1. Everyone Should Be Afraid

Everybody black and white SHOULD be afraid of what the government will do. All we need to do is look around.

5. Point is the government did nothing-Clinton's appology was for the gov refusing to treat those folks

4. Nerve Gas Used on Sailors

"The Pentagon has admitted for the first time that chemical and biological weapons were tested on Navy ships in the 1960s, and said anyone who was harmed could be eligible for health benefits."

7. That dipshit Pat Buchanan ought to be called out about this, too.

This shit was still going on while his boss Nixon was in the Whitehouse. Pat Buchanan KNOWS about how all this happened.

8. They also deliberately blew the levees 1927 & flooded poor neighborhoods to protect the rich in NOLA

IS IT ABSURD THAT MANY BELIEVE HISTORY SIMPLY REPEATED ITSELF?

SEE index section: "levees: the intentional destruction of." It then lists the following page numbers as dealing with that particular subject: 168, 222, 227, 229, 231-232, 234, 238- 258, 339, 408.
ALSO under the index heading of "Herbert Hoover" one finds a sub heading of "levee dynamiting and." The page numbers listed for this are 246, 252-253, 255, 340.

10. Why would Bill Clinton defend

an obviously wrong statement like the one Wright made about HIV?

The Tuskegee experiment is in no way proof - or even evidence - of Wright's moronic claim.

11. kick

12. did MSM ever bother to fact check stuff Wright said or just knee-jerk condemn it?

13. HBO had a good made-for-cable movie about this called "Miss Ever's Boys"

The film came out in 1997 and starred Alfre Woodward. It won 4 Emmys. It's available on DVD now.
