And though the first known victim in the US may have been black (which I'm not sure is even correct) I couldn't find any confirmation of that. They don't seem to know who patient zero was. But he was apparently gay. It would be a couple of steps easier to believe that conspiracy theory if the target was gays rather than blacks. I still say the conspiracy theory around blacks is risible. I'm fascinated by the lack of unanimity on that.

The other thing is that if you're going to try to target a particular group for destruction, even if you accept the argument that it's something the US Government would do to 10% of its population, the AIDS virus makes no sense as a weapon. Allen, Don't read too much into my musings on weaponized AIDS; I don't believe that was its origin either. The point I was trying to make was that, if we know the gov't was involved in germ warfare research, and they were, it is not a leap of logic to think that they would use weaponized germs against its enemies, which at one time included Black Panthers and other black militants. I don't think the gov't has any intent to kill off any portion of the black population, or that they ever did. Incarcerate nearly half of them, yes, but kill, no. Ken
