The No, it isn't. Nor did I say it was. What I am saying is that given the short timeline (end of Tuskegee in '72) and AIDs ('81) some suspicious reactions by the activist black community seem understandable to me. The treatment of blacks as less than human-- and Tuskegee certainly is guilty of that- could lead to an easier acceptance of race elimination as a possible agenda for some Some prone to paranoid conspiracies. Yes. The Tuskegee patients were not deliberately infected with syphilis. They were all in the end-stages of the infection. It takes a long leap to go from that to a plot to not only infect an entire population with an infectious disease, but to actually create the disease with that purpose. It is the ravings of lunatics.

Rambi...just looked up Tuskegee experiment...Are you talking about the one that began in 1932????? The syphilis experiment? In the early 80's NO one even knew what AIDS was....by the mid 80's we still thought there was a virus from African monkeys floating around.
