“Ah yes, the Tuskegee Airmen—third stage syphilis patients who volunteered for experimentation and treatment.”
Help me out here: What does syphilis have to do with the Tuskegee Airmen?
They are only her people until she skims enough off of their aid package to make another run at the White House.
Interesting comment. I am familiar with the Airmen history because I once taught a college-level health research course and showed a documentary video of the story in class when we were covering ethics.
This is the first time I have ever heard anyone question the truth of it. Do you have any more information? Anywhere I can research this further? The video absolutely claims that healthy black males were intentionally infected. The ironic thing was the "nurse" who injected them with the bacteria was a black woman and very aware of the research project and what was being done.

One of my best staff NCOs was a Haitian immigrant. Still Haiti is not my fault and I do not want to give any part of my country away to make some goof lib feel better and more goofy libs making a buck off of treason.

Pretty ignorant of your own nation's history aren't you?
Hard for anyone who know anything about the Tuskegee Airmen to fault them for anything. You though manage to insult them with lies.
And, yes, black men with syphilis were intentionally left untreated as a medical study by the US Department of Health.
As with any other group, there are Haitians and there are Haitians. Some suck. Some are the salt of the earth.
The Tuskegee Airmen were not syphylis patients. That was the Tuskegee experiment
I think she means “Haitian Creole”. It is a mixture of French and other languages that is spoken in Haiti. It is in fact one of the “Legal” languages in Miami-Dade County, where I live. If you go into government buildings, onto the Metro, or into polling places, you will see instructions in English, Spanish and Creole. I have no problem with the Haitians...I interact with them every day, and they are by-and-large wonderful people (and most of them speak English quite well).
Therefore, the conclusion is that dear Cynthia is an ignorant idiot.
They did create Haiti and no its not my fault nor is it my job to fix it or take the blame delivered by some criminal politician.
