Mar 9, 2008 - I take my hat off to you Dr Northington, for your good work in this area. I find it very disappointing that at 595 views of this video, nobody has felt the need to comment. This syphilis study just shows us that racial differences in health-care started centuries ago, and is still going on to this day. We should be asking more questions about the gov's involvement in 'experiments' e.g. where communities are exposed to pathogens without their concent. (see DrLeonardHorowitz)

Mar 22, 2008 - Dr Northington you are very inspirational.I really enjoyed this clip and I can't even explain how interesting this is.

Mar 26, 2008 - It wasn't viewed too many times because of the sad fact that people don't know about the experiment. I only learned about this yesterday after hearing it mentioned in a rap song. Now I'm obsessed with it.

Apr 5, 2008 - I researched this after hearing Obamas preacher Rev Wright mention it in one of his speeches. I dont agree with everything he said in that speech (parts cut out by fox news to make him look worse) but the man has a right to be mad. Listen to the speeches regardless of how upset it makes you and then research what he says. People are afraid of truth.

Apr 5, 2008 - And what REV. WRIGHT SAID ABOUt, the chickens/rosters are coming home to roost. Its called blow back, you keep foolin with people, they'll eventually fool with us back. If the cops on the show cops can abuse they're police authority & they're on t.v. what to say we/gov. occuping folks town is doing to us in the long run. Look up US Capitol Ambassador Edward Peck, confirming what Rev. wright is saying, but he's not being calls AntiAmerican for stating 1st hand knowlege of these things.Amb.Ed Peck

Apr 5, 2008 - Everything his Rev. Wright said about America was acurate. Dont know why folks dont like to here the truth when its about them. Look on youtube for Michael Ruppert -C.I.A DRUG CONSPIRACY, which Rev wright was tlking about the usa gov being behind, also Barry Seal-CIA & LAPD involvement in LA Drug Trade. These are know facts.

Apr 6, 2008 - Why the fuck r these scum fucks like Clinton,Bush,North NOT in fucking jail?????

arion52 Says:

May 2, 2008 - Wright said the men were injected with syphilis, they were NOT! From 1932-1947 there was no effective cure for syphilis. The treatments before 47 were as dangerous as the cure. A "white guy" was the whistle blower! A black doctor and black staff helped administer and monitor this study along with whites. Bureaucratic arrogance, yes! Racism maybe or probable. Why didn't the blacks blow the whistle on this experiment? Clinton should apologize for his own behavior also!

offthahook08 Says:

May 5, 2008 - I'm not down with the research thing. Havent blacks been experimented on enough. Aids is a hoax. But yet the drug AZT is still given to patients. And has been known to wipe out the immune system. Do your research people!

hoshyarzebari Says:

May 10, 2008 - Aids is a hoax? There should be a minimum IQ requirement for people to have the right to comment here...

offthahook08 Says:

May 11, 2008 - Well according to what you just said your IQ is nonexsistentant. I dont say shyt I cant back up! ShaLL I give you the proof! Robert Gallo!

DNAguy Says:

May 15, 2008 - He is incorrect, penicillin was discovered in 1928 by Sir Alexander Fleming a Scottish Scientist.. The Tuskegee experiment however started in 1932-1972(40 yrs). So even if it wasn't out for two years, the government still did'nt treat the infected for 38 yrs.. Fox.. Fair and Balanced?

Rdardenea Says:

Aug 25, 2008 - Is this the new Ms. Evers? Should we trust the medical community because she says we should?

WEJq55 Says:

Aug 29, 2008 - arion52, there were black people that had the disease, but when they died, they had to bring more black men into study to continue it. So when those black men died, the study would stop. So of course black men were injected. And penicilin was a well known cure but the gov't deliberately witheld treatment and allowed them to suffer. That's the problem!

kennboy1 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - fuckers, the goverment gave us aids! It was the result of that experiment
