these studies are worthless without the survey pool indicating:

if they believe in the idea of “white priviledge”

if they believe that 9-11 was an “inside job”

if they believe that AIDS was a government conspiracy

if they believe that AIDS and drugs are used by our government specifically to target the black community

if they believe that our government has planted WMD in Iraq

if they would classify the people who killed Black Jesus were “rich white europeans”

if the Pearl Harbor attack was allowed to happen

I will give the pastor the Tuskegee experiment as an example of science gone wrong. So was Kinsey’s masturbation and exploitation of children by criminals (who also made up his exagerated statistic of homosexuality among the general population).

But it is hard to gauge just how well Obama’s speech works as an APOLOGY if the audience rating the speech sees NOTHING WRONG in what the pastor said in the first place.

Hey the government has treated white soldiers as guinea pigs too but that’s not racially glamerous.

Nukes

LSD

etc

The pastor said that black men were given syphilis in the Tuskegee experiment. That was not the case. Men who already had syphilis were not given new drugs that might have cured them so they could document the course of the disease.

Not defending the study but many blacks (and whites) believe that the government gave these men the disease. Not true.
