Notes on the Human Genome Project (pt. 1)

History has revealed that Europeans have taken great time, money, sacrifice, and determination toward developing destructive tools specifically for the mass extermination of Africans and people of color while using that same level of effort to develop technology for the mass preservation of themselves

The canon was a breakthrough technological advancement towards the execution and colonization of Black people in the 12th and 13th centuries.

One of the most devastating and subtle weapons used to kill Africans and people of color around the globe is ‘Biological Warfare.’ Within the last century, biological warfare has developed into countless forms.

Through our ignorance, media, and medical propaganda, many diseases and infections we have been subject to are believed to be hereditary. The American government, medical associations, and the military have an ugly history of practicing genocidal tactics against black and indigenous people. The lacing of the smallpox disease within the fabric and fibers of millions of blankets to exterminate the native American population should never be forgotten.

The Tuskegee experiment, which gave us a look at just how evil the American government could be in the 1930’s is evidence of biological warfare.

The U.S. Public Health Department and the local government of Macon County, Alabama, intentionally infected over 400 Black men with syphilis to monitor and study the effects of the deadly virus. For more than 30 years, American public health officials pretended to treat our infected brothers while the disease spread to loved ones, families, and the entire Black community.
