A Jail "Cell" Isn't The Only One Blacks Are Familiar With

First, it was the real Lone Ranger, and now here's the real Wonder Woman.

And this is becoming a totally different blog after these fools got my racial dander up:

"More than half a century ago, doctors took Henrietta Lacks' tissue and used it for research without her permission, creating the first immortal line of cells and making possible billions of dollars in medical research. Now, 62 years later, the National Institutes of Health has struck an agreement with the Lacks family that will allow for continued research while seeking to protect their medical privacy. 

Henrietta Lacks, a poor African American woman, died in 1951 after battling cervical cancer at age 31, leaving behind five children. Before her death, researchers at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore sampled her cells during a biopsy without her consent -- there were no federal regulations requiring patient consent at the time. 

That sample produced a line of cancer cells that kept growing and reproducing, making them ideal for scientific study. The HeLa cells (an abbreviation of Lacks’ name) ultimately became the most widely used human cell line in the world. Some 74,000 publications refer to HeLa cells, NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins said at a news conference Wednesday. 

The family was not asked for permission to use the cells. It was only in 1971, with the publication of a study in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, that Lacks’ identity was revealed. A 1997 BBC documentary shed further light on Lacks’ story and the 2010 bestseller "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot helped draw into the public eye the ethical issues involved in using HeLa cells. (That book is being made into a film produced by Oprah Winfrey’s company.)"

 Stealing black bodies, stealing black lives - even stealing black cells:

Sheeeiit, considering how valuable blacks have been - to every single layer of this entire American enterprise - instead of NewAge whites demanding blacks be "humble," they should've been throwing us a PRIDE parade long before they hopped on the gay bandwagon,...
