I haven't seen this discussed here so I thought in the interest of starting a discussion about something that doesn't involve Israel I might ask what people think of this. If you don't know anything about it...

So is there another side to this story or is it just simply as insane as it sounds?
 
There is no other side to this. The United States government along with top members of the medical field made a decision that Black people could be treated as lab animals and allowed to die. The "experement" was allowed to continue for some 40 years until someone with a conscience found out about it.

It's something to remember if you're ever tempted to think we have progressed beyond barbarism.
 
It totally blows my mind. This is something that was allowed to continue into the 1970's. Hardly ancient history either. Stunning....
