The Biden administration has reportedly abandoned its plans to ban menthol cigarettes after warnings that it could push away some Black voters. The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday the White …
This is literally about saving black ppls lives dude get a clue.
Google how many black ppl die every year from smoking and then Google what percentage of menthol smokers are white and then sit down and shut the fuck up.
So if they banned malt liquor on the grounds of saving black lives, that wouldn’t be racist? What about fried chicken? Fried food causes cardiovascular disease. Orange soda causes diabetes.
But that’s not even the point. The point is, he was going to ban them because they’re bad for you, but decided not to for the votes because black people smoke newports or something. he’s letting them die so he can get reelected
So you’re implying black people aren’t responsible enough to make their own decisions about their health and they need the feds to ban something they like for their own good. That’s the most white savior shit I’ve ever heard
This…this is literally them listening to their voters?
They wanted to do something, and their voters said “we don’t like that”, so they stopped.
So many things to complain about this president, but this little story is good news if we want the president to listen to voters.
No, this is them trying something most Black.people don’t give a fuck about.
But stereotypes say they do.
So they do this, rather than something real people actually want, like:
Healthcare
Student loans
Taxing the rich
Not funding a genocide
Holding the wealthy accountable
Etc…
Way to admit you don’t know any Black people rofl

Who the fuck cares if someone is smoking, menthol, or regular, like what’s the point?
Menthol makes tobacco more addictive, so it’s more harmful than without. That’s the point of the ban in the first place
That’s just straight up not true.
And who cares. Let people have their vices. Stop trying to police people’s bodies.
I’m not a proponent of banning drugs, just trying to find some reasoning behind it.
