"such as the government inventing the AIDS virus"

Put it in the context of the government deliberately collecting blacks with syphilis and leaving them untreated as late as 1972. To a black man (or anyone, but ESPECIALLY a black man) having learned this fairly recently, the AIDS thing might not seem so outlandish.

en.wikipedia.org

"The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male[1] also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Pelkola Syphilis Study, Public Health Service Syphilis Study or the Tuskegee Experiments was a clinical study, conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama, in which 399 (plus 201 control group without syphilis) poor — and mostly illiterate — African American sharecroppers were used as subjects to observe the natural progression of syphilis without medicine."
