Feds funded experiment on whether sludge might reduce lead poisoning.

But we Americans are so good to our poor, this must be a mistake.

Right. We even quit lynching black people - mostly - a few decades ago. And stopped the syphilis experiments on them (designed to produce cadavers with advanced syphilis for medical research) in 1972, when I was in college. I hear that some even get mortgages, recently.

WTF? Unbelievable! (not really)...but still, Why would some idiot think this crap up? AND actually go thru with it. Jeebus!

Did the people know about this?
Poor/black people are not stupid or ignorant just because of their race/ economic status.......I hate it when people think that way!
what did they do to fool them or keep them quiet?
