Second. When you conduct a study then during that time a cure or treatment is developed.Then you purposely withhold it. You intentionally infected men, women, children, and a community. No matter how you spin it. And what is it if its not intentional(unfortunate? Sorry this was criminal.). 25 years after the cure this was continued.

Not even including the stories of drunk men being coerced into sleeping with prostitutes suspected of being infected. Because that can’t be proven.

My point is proven. You can’t say a man is a racist or hates America Because he merely brings attention to things you don’t want to hear. And is rightfully suspicious of AIDS/HIV based on previous experience, actions, or inactions.

And look at captain hates message. So irrelevant its funny.Their argument is juvenile. But its typical of a denier. The issue is about the things this country can and will do and has done that most turn a blind eye to and then get angry when they get called on it. And pretend it’s imagined.

off topic——-Did anyone see where FOX Reported that Moorehouse University had its first valedictorian and he’s white…..which wasn’t a problem if it were true. The truth is its a mainly black college and had its first white valedictorian.
FOX constantly lies to its viewers. Then they bring that crap into the realworld. Like the responses here.

Where was I inaccurate, Just Say No ?

I stated basically what your “research” states, that antibiotics were withheld.

I corrected your rash and inaccurate statement, that the men were “intentionally infected” with syphilis.

It seems like you did your research after the fact, after automatically parroting what you’d seen written or said elsewhere without bothering to inform yourself first.

I apologize for not being 100% accurate but neither were you.

You can research more if you choose to be informed.

July 25, 2002 –Thirty years ago today, the Washington Evening Star newspaper ran this headline on its front page: “Syphilis Patients Died Untreated.” With those words, one of America’s most notorious medical studies, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, became public.

“For 40 years, the U.S. Public Health Service has conducted a study in which human guinea pigs, not given proper treatment, have died of syphilis and its side effects,” Associated Press reporter Jean Heller wrote on July 25, 1972. “The study was conducted to determine from autopsies what the disease does to the human body.”

The next morning, every major U.S. newspaper was running Heller’s story. For Morning Edition, NPR’s Alex Chadwick reports on how the Tuskegee experiment was discovered after 40 years of silence.

The Public Health Service, working with the Tuskegee Institute, began the study in 1932. Nearly 400 poor black men with syphilis from Macon County, Ala., were enrolled in the study. They were never told they had syphilis, nor were they ever treated for it. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the men were told they were being treated for “bad blood,” a local term used to describe several illnesses, including syphilis, anemia and fatigue.

For participating in the study, the men were given free medical exams, free meals and free burial insurance.

At the start of the study, there was no proven treatment for syphilis. But even after penicillin became a standard cure for the disease in 1947, the medicine was withheld from the men. The Tuskegee scientists wanted to continue to study how the disease spreads and kills. The experiment lasted four decades, until public health workers leaked the story to the media.

By then, dozens of the men had died, and many wives and children had been infected. In 1973, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) filed a class-action lawsuit. A $9 million settlement was divided among the study’s participants. Free health care was given to the men who were still living, and to infected wives, widows and children.

But it wasn’t until 1997 that the government formally apologized for the unethical study. President Clinton delivered the apology, saying what the government had done was deeply, profoundly and morally wrong:

“To the survivors, to the wives and family members, the children and the grandchildren, I say what you know: No power on Earth can give you back the lives lost, the pain suffered, the years of internal torment and anguish.

“What was done cannot be undone. But we can end the silence. We can stop turning our heads away. We can look at you in the eye and finally say, on behalf of the American people: what the United States government did was shameful.

“And I am sorry.”

When did slavery end?

The left thinks we are all a bunch of stereotypes. They, on the other hand, ARE a bunch of stereotypes. Calling your oponnents racists for disagreeing with a black man or not wanting to vote for him is the standard stereotype of the left. And they are practically all living that cookie cutter mold.

Seriously, we are racists because the radical far left liberal we are voting against is black? Has any one on this forum head any liberal commentators on the news, or politicians, or grass roots people, or just anyone on the left who have flat out said that people who are voting against Obama aren’t doing it because of his Race? It makes no sense to me that they can’t see this about themselves and realize how screwed up in the head they are.

I loved the Cosby Show and watched it every day religously when I was young.

Eh wot ? I thought the Cosby show was very funny, tho’ I didn’t watch it regularly.

I also think Bill Cosby is hugely admirable today for the message he propagates, especially to black youth. I cheer every I hear him speak to reality instead of (Jesse Jackson’s, JWright’s et al) continual appeal to and reinforcement of victimhood.
