actually....
i have heard of this theory quite on accident. I didn't even think about it until i was taking a test, and i heard a teacher start teaching that in class. when i heard it, i wondered. then i decided to ask someone who would prolly know before anyone on sf would know. this person pretty much told me that that rumor, was true. but it wasn't just aimed at blacks. it was aimed at, what at the time, seemed to set 'negative tones' to society. They were blacks, homeless people, gays, and latin americans. I wasn't told how it was first introduced in society.
the reason that they thought this plan wouldnt backfire, was because at the time (i think) was because groups were predomantly staying together. So i dont know how the first HIV virus was broken out, if it was in a drug, food, or what ever. the fact that people think that some dude was bit by a monkey, and had sex to cause this massive world wide epidemic we had on our hands, is insane. how could 1 person, help spread this virus to millions of people world wide, in a short time?
