Why is this cool?
In 1932, the Public Health Service began a study to observe the long term effects of untreated syphilis. They noticed that a large number of black men (male negros for those not familiar with oldspeak) in the rural South had syphilis. Would these men have sought treatment if they knew they had syphilis? Maybe. Could they have afforded treatment if it were available? Maybe. Did the researchers deny the infected men treatment? I don't know. Were these men made aware of their syphilitic condition? I don't know. Did the researchers have a duty to treat the infected and cure them? Maybe. Were all of the infected treatable? I don't know. Was the research necessary? I don't know.

As you can see, there are a lot of questions that get lost in the emotions of the Tuskegee experiment. Too quickly, people condemn the U.S. government for allowing such a thing to happen without considering the reasons for the study. That is why it is so important to read the original work instead of depending on secondary, tertiary, or even quaternary sources on the research.
So, let's begin. The experiment started with 399 syphilitic black men, 201 non-syphilitic, and 275 who had syphilis, but were treated in the first two years of infection. A detailed history for each patient was taken and then they just watched them waste away. What were the results? I don't know, because I haven't read it just yet. I do know that the group in charge of the experiment published at least 10 papers about what they saw!

There are other historical examples of reparations, such as reparations were paid to the enemies and traitors of the United States such as the Civil War Confederates enslavers and Japan and Germany from WW2 and the US Government Paid Reparations For 11 Italian Americans Who Were Lynched , yet Thousands of African-American-were lynched between the years 1882 and 1970 and have not received any Justice. Black Americans have fought and died in every major war and conflict involving the U.S and have never become traitors to the United States government like the Confederacy.

Very interesting stats her. can you state where I may go to validate these information.
DeleteI CAN AGREE THAT African AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE RECIEVED SOME LUMP OF MONEY JUST LIKE THE REST BUT IT WONT HAPPEN. YOU REALLY THINK THE US GOVERNMENT WILL ACCEPT ANY FAULT AND GIVE AWAY MONEY TO BLACKS? ALSO BLACK PEOPLE DONT REALLY STICK UP OR THEMSELVES. MLK WAS THEIR ONY VOICE AND WAS TAKEN FROM THEM, NOW THEYRE TOO BUSY KILLING THEMSELVES AND CAUSING A HIGH VOLUME OF CRIME. THE GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTED HIGH RISE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND RUINED THEM. PEOPLE WOULD WAIT OUTSIDE ELEVATORS TO ROB PEOPLE AND WRECK HAVOC AMONG THEIR OWN.
ReplyDeleteYou claim that people are quick to judge the American government for this experiment based on your assessment which consists of repeatedly asking questions and then responding to your own questions with "I don't know." and "Maybe." I have an idea, how about you be a little quicker to do some actual research into a subject before you start telling others they are jumping to conclusions?
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing "cool" about this horrendous inhuman study. Clearly you lack empathy and haven't done any research. This post is a shitshow and you should be ashamed of yourself you presumably white garbage person.
