You do realize that the US government did NOT infect any blacks with syphillis in the Tuskeegee Experiment. The experiment was a study where a control group was not treated but instead was given placebos. Go here to check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_experiment

It is important that we be straight on this as this experiment, as despicable as it was, was not equal to inventing the AIDS virus to inject into black men. The Reverend Wright is not only wrong, he is a liar when he makes such statements.

No, I didn’t realize that. I was led to believe that healthy black men were deliberately infected with syphilis, and that half were treated and half given a placebo (eventually dying horrible deaths).
