Research article by Brandt, "Racism and Research: The Case of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study," USPHS Continuously Discriminated, Tortured, and Involuntarily Experimented on Over 600 Males black. The original study was even called the "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male." This study was not only unethical but also extremely disrespectful and full of prejudice, not to mention racism towards the black community living in Macon County, Alabama. As a result, the scientists and doctors who contributed to the Tuskegee research were just as discriminatory and stereotyped as his research study. Most of their views and hypotheses referred to loose threads based on assumptions. For example, “The Negro community in America is condemned because it is particularly prone to disease, vice, and crime” along with “Black Americans cannot be helped by education or philanthropy.” This not only helps outline the personal opinions of such “scientists and doctors” performing this study, but also aligns the type of path the Tuskegee search took during its forty years of operation.
