Were the Tuskegee experiments them?

Hey replying here in case you didn't see the rest of the chain on the other reply, but no, that wasn't the CIA (see the other reply chain for more details).

Good one, I'll take it. To seal it, let's sprinkle the thread with some Family Jewels. The cunts are absolutely aware of what they do.

I think they are asking if the CIA was the one that did them rather than just suggesting that for the list. I don't think that was the CIA but another government agency (or maybe even just doctor(s), though even then, the study was approved and funded).

The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male (informally referred to as the Tuskegee Experiment or Tuskegee Syphilis Study) was a study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on a group of nearly 400 African American men with syphilis as well as a control group without.

Yeah you're right. And looking into it, not CIA.
