How environmentally-unfriendly of you, not to mention racist! Don’t you know that lead poisoning was a huge problem in inner-city black communities? And now you want to inflict it on them again?
(do I really need the /s?)
Actually, a family friend’s kids both developed lead poisoning when the parents chemically/thermally-stripped the paint out of an old New England farmhouse back in the late 70s. They’re nice enough, but both kids had severe learning difficulties and pretty obviously have sub-90 IQ scores, despite mom and dad both being very intelligent. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
I’ve read in multiple places that “lead poisoning” is a farce designed to explain away low IQ scores of ghetto people immediately after the implementation of the Great Society.
The reasoning was that with the Great Society IQs in the ghetto would of course rise dramatically, and when that did not happen, the left settled upon “eating paint” as an excuse for failure.
