Medical Apartheid

Title:Medical Apartheid

Medical Apartheid is the first and only comprehensive history of medical experimentation on African Americans. Starting with the earliest encounters between black Americans and Western medical researchers and the pseudo-science that resulted, it details the way both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge--a tradition that continues today within some black populations. It reveals how blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of blacks, and the view that they were biologically inferior, oversexed and unfit for adult responsibilities. Shocking new details about the government 's notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government , the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions. The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of science research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit. At last, it provides the fullest possible context for comprehending the behavioral fallout has caused black Americans to view researchers--and indeed the whole medical establishment--with such deep distrust.

Guide to Understanding the Blackman

The Blackwoman and Blackman in America have a problem. They do not get along. Before the Blackman can devise a solution he must know the components of the problem. The first factor is that the Blackwoman is out of control. She does not submit to guidance by her God-given mate: the Blackman. Her intentions to overpower and subdue the Blackman is motivated by several factors, the most prevalent being her self-inflicted nearly psychotic insecurity. Her disrespect for the Blackman is a dire cause of the destruction of the Black family.

4,000 OF HISTORY
One thing stands out above all else in our survey of these remarkable men and women. That the struggle for a changing world occupies both a tragic and hopeful dimension. That again and again the light of the human spirit shines brightest against the shadow of almost invincible odds and that disaster seems to stalk anyone who challenges as they are in the hope of transforming them into things as they should be. Disaster strikes the hero in the form of an assassin's bullet, a grievous slander, exile or the prison house, deportation or betrayal or (most tragic of all) the loss of the love of one's people through a misinterpretation of one's role or a misunderstanding of one's actions.
Heroes are usually tragic figures who seldom die quietly in their sleep, yet our memory and vision of them should bring us to a new faith, not deepen our sense of despair. It is often through the crucifixion of these figures that we glimpse something noble and beautiful beyond their suffering and their death. It is this light they spark in our souls against the overwhelming appearance of darkness that rekindles our hope in the possibilities of rebirth in the world.

Black Man of the Nile and His Family, first published in 1972, is Dr. Ben's best known work. It captures much of the substance of his early research on ancient Africa. In a masterful and unique manner, Dr. Ben uses Black Man of the Nile to challenge and expose "Europeanized" African history. He points distortion after distortion made in the long record of African contributions to world civilization. Once exposed, he attacks these distortions with a vengeance, providing a spellbinding corrective lesson in OurStory.
Dr. Ben combines knowledge, wit, humor and social criticism to provide readers with an important and foundational history of Africa, written from a decisively African perspective.



The question about teaching slaves to read and write remained a dilemma throughout the entire slave period. The slave master knew that to teach the slave to read and write he might ultimately emerge as a thinker. these thinkers would inevitably question whether they should be a slave or eventually try to become free.

"When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. you do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his "proper place" and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary."
"History shows that it does not matter who is in power...those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain anymore rights or privileges in the end than they did in the beginning."
Dr. Woodson (1875-1950). African American historian and educator, was the founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. He was the author of more than 16 books, and the founder and editor of the Journal of Negro History and the Negro History Bulletin.



This book is an attempt to show that the true authors of Greek philosophy were not the Greeks, but the people of North Africa, commonly called the Egyptians; and the praise and honor falsely given to the Greeks for centuries belong to the people of North Africa, and therefore to the African Continent. Consequently, this theft of the African legacy by the Greeks led to the erroneous World opinion that the African Continent has made no contribution to civilization, and that its people are naturally backwards. This is the misinterpretation that has become the basis of race prejudice, which has affected all people of color.
