Menthol cigs to banned because they racist

[necronomous]

It is a fact the menthols have been advertised specifically and intentionally to black Americans, and it is a fact that black Americans are now the customer base for menthols. These are just facts. The conclusions you have drawn from that and then attributed to me are your own.

It is a fact that all other cigarettes are primarily and specifically are advertised toward whites. It is a fact they are now the customer base for all other cigarettes. The conclusions I have drawn are because of your implications.

Popeyes fried chicken advertising is racist. They don’t set up stores in cracker neighborhoods, denying me soul food.

Buncha racists.

They just opened one near my trailerhood I'm very excited

We have two within a mile radius of us, both have lines out the front door. We still go to the halal chicken place, much better chicken.

i was traveling today and ended up in a popeyes. i was treated like shit. its almost as if they went out of their way to be rude and angry. i wanted to talk shit but didn't. it was horrible fuck that place

Dont believe the hype about the chicken sandwich. Its good but there is no way I'd wait in a half hour line for it.

No, that is in fact not a fact.

What exactly is your point here?

First off, banning something deemed "bad" doesn't stop people from using it. It just forces it underground and increases the risk to all parties involved in its sale and use. Ergo --> you are literally increasing the chances of harming blacks by banning their cigarettes of choice. So supporting this move is clearly not a measure of compassion...

Second, ads targeting specific demographics is nothing new. In fact 2005 Kool targeted Hispanics hardcore to expand its base. --Oops!

But of course that is but one example in hundreds of thousands. Cigarettes are dangerous, they have been marketed to a myriad of demographics, including children. They used skewed science to mitigate the truth on how deadly they can be for decades. If anything --> they are an equal opportunity killer.

To cry racism is to just parrot the political narrative [read:lie].

To cry racism is to just parrot the political narrative [read:lie].

My clearly stated and repeated point is simply that menthols have been intentionally and successfully marketed to black folks and then exempted from bans of other flavored tobacco products. Those are just the facts of the situation, which seems to cause an instinctive response in righties to try and deny the facts. It's just the way y'all argue these days.

Seriously, no one has denied that they are marketed to black people. That in no way, is the point of this discussion. I've already said thus, but you just gloss over it because that's the way Lefties argue these days.

I honestly have no idea what you think you are discussing. Apparently you think I've said things I didn't, but are unable to quote me doing so. Just an embarrassing thread for you. Please continue.

I think you are once again selling bullshit and calling it 'road fudge'.

What flavored cigarettes have been banned?

Citation needed, because I know of no less than 7 non-menthol flavors you can buy right now.

That date helped. Thanks. Ever damn google search just popped up the recent menthol banned being proposed. Or a list of flavored tobacco you can readily buy.

According to a 2013 survey of internet tobacco retailers, the most common flavors are apple, cherry, chocolate, honey, grape, menthol, mint, peach, rum, strawberry, "sweet" (including bubble gum, candy, and toffee) and vanilla. ...But I guess they are not technically "cigarettes".

Changes little to the overall point. Making vices illegal rarely produces the stated desired results and targeted advertising is either all racist, or not racist. You can't pick and choose.

All I've done is state the factual basis. They want to argue how it's not at all racist, but the only thing that has led them to conclude it was are the facts. Super confusing for the poor dimwits

[AnalHamster]

He can't, biker was mocking the idea that it might be racist. That's what fits the righty narrative, racism doesn't really exist anymore. They need a lefty to argue this conclusion they have all drawn from the facts, so they can argue against their own conclusion which is obviously only something a lefty would ever come up with. Hella confusing to them that it's their own conclusion they want to dispute.
