No, it is not. The parallels are there so strikingly.
- arcticbull 4y agoThe only similarity is an authority figure said something untrue. By that measure the NORAD Santa tracker is "like Tuskegee." Shades of grey exist and context matters. The world is not black and white and that isn't comfortable. However the point of delegating authority is to make difficult decisions with imperfect information in challenging circumstances that don't make sense at an individual level. Not to mention the commenter who even made that comparison seems to have no idea what Tuskegee was actually known for (as they make no mention of the racial animus inherent in the 'study' if you can even call it that). It's wild to me that someone would make that comparison with the benefit of Wikipedia in this the year of our lord 2022.
