I did forget about the "gay monkey sex" that "contributed" to the spread.
Thank you
You know my response was "tongue-in-cheek," of course? I made the "connection" for the precise reasons you gave, i.e., of African monkeys transmitting HIV to humans and yet.... and yet.... gay white males in the U.S. were the first human population it was found in.
P.S.
Sorry, but when b.s. is stinking up the air, I tend to go "sarcastic." So, bringing it home: a gay, white male flight attendant is "Patient Zero" for AIDS. He supposedly brought the virus into the Americas and from him, the infection spread throughout Canada and the U.S. (think he was Canadian). But white folk have an aversion to accepting responsibility for their diseases and most especially for being carriers of diseases that kill off whole populations, so white "scientists" pointed the finger at, well, first at 18 Haitians who were found to have the virus, said THEY gave it to, at the time, 200 white gay males who were diagnosed as having AIDS. A couple years and 2,000 new cases of white gay male AIDS later.... and gay white males ONLY (while the number of HIV cases among Haitians
stayed at 18, i.e., did not increase), they needed a new scapegoat for their own filthy diseases and pointed the finger at.... ya got it! the motherland, and said it originated with monkeys.
NOTE: Isn't it funny how ONLY Old World monkeys in Africa supposedly carry all these dread diseases and NONE in the New World, i.e., South America, do?
At any rate (smh), for monkeys to be the source of human HIV, some humans must have "sexed" some infected monkeys. And the humans most likely belong to the populations FIRST affected, i.e., gay white males. Gay white males who, as a black supervisor who once went to Haiti on a church mission told me, go to Haiti specifically to have sex with young, impoverished Haitian boys. So logic says that if white AMERICAN males, gay or straight, are ALWAYS present in places where dread diseases FIRST evince themselves, there's a connection between white folk and dread diseases.
