What was the justification for infecting blacks with syphilis?

Q: People called Wright’s accusation that the US injected blacks with AIDS “racist”, but without addressing the issue or the fact that criticizing government action (even a predominantly white government) isn’t the same as criticizing an entire race. We know the US injected syphilis into blacks; maybe if we understood why they did it we can reduce the perfectly understandable suspicion by that population of US involvement with AIDS. So, what was US justification for infecting blacks with syphilis?

A: You got it half right. The govt. did not inject anyone with syphilis. They just pretended to treat the ‘naturally’ infected blacks as a secret form of research. It was an immoral policy,but racism and bigotry played a huge part in the decision to go ahead with the project. It was just one more act of discrimination, and was totally illegal! The ‘justification’ was that it was a medical experiment to study the long term effects of syphilis in humans. The “subjects” were not informed that they were “Guinea Pigs” for a medical experiment. How would that make you feel if you found out that your relatives were ‘tortured’ by our govt.? Would you tend to go to a church where the truth about this told? From the snarky racist and bigoted comments and rumors about Sen. Obama in the media,it looks like the same ignorant racism is still stinking up the country!
