Tuskegee again?

[flewellyn]

Scientists in Baltimore, using federal grant money, have been using sludge made from human and industrial wastes on yards in poor, black neighborhoods, ostensibly testing whether it might protect children from lead in the soil. Yet not only were the families not informed of the source of the sludge, but no medical follow-up was done.

Tell me again, folks, how Reverend Jeremiah Wright was "crazy" when he suggested that AIDS might have been engineered by the government as a weapon against black people? I don't believe he's correct about that, mind you, but gee...where might he have gotten that idea?

And keep in mind, that's just the stuff we know about. Meanwhile, all the comfortable racists go, "Oh, I'm safe because I'm not that bad. Why, I have a black neighbor. Or co worker. Or something."
