Spreading The Disease

As I've already noted, a lot of people are actively defending the Reverend Wright as a truth teller. Shameful, though not surprising. But three times already, I've heard someone use as part of their "defense" that whites intentionally injected blacks with syphilis.

What they're referring to is the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. While the story is horrible enough (though more complex than commonly understood), it should be understood no one was ever injected with syphilis.
