  1. Considering Mcleod Plantation began using cotton picking slaves in Bayer ISIS Pharma cancer research and now uses black autistic children in unwilling Bayer Cancer Research in SC, it appears that the only thing you know about slavery is what your Isis education Management system taught you at your University.
    More violence coming to University public health buildings from your University Medical Slaves.
