Fake Native American Sen. Elizabeth Warren has joined other Democrat senators in calling for a ban of menthol cigarettes because they are racist.
Warren added her name to the effort led by fellow Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey and joined by Rhode Island Sens. Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse and Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
In a letter to the Food and Drug Administration, the senators argued that African-Americans have the highest mortality rate of all ethnic groups due to smoking related diseases, and Menthol cigarettes pose a greater risk.
The letter, signed by the senators, cited a 2011 study done by the FDA that showed “menthol cigarettes pose a public health risk above that seen with non-menthol cigarettes.”
They argued that this effect is greatest in the African American community because it is a target market.
“The tobacco industry has a long history of targeting menthol cigarettes to African-Americans and in particular African-American youth through strategic marketing and promotional materials,” the letter read.
“These actions have resulted in significant health disparities in communities of color,” it said.
What about Malt Liquor?
I do not know ONE person of color who smokes regular cigarettes.
I made a small fortune in Korea selling Newports. The PX only carried Kools and Salems.
Smoked Newports. Many moons ago.
Liberalism is a mental disease.
Would it make her happy if they killed more whites than blacks?
“What about Malt Liquor?”
And let’s not leave out WPLJ (White Port & Lemon Juice). Or Fred Sanford’s favorite drink, Champipple (Champaign and Ripple)!
yes, it would.
.... because banning crack cocaine worked so well!
“Champipple” . . . I love it!!!
Mad Dog 20 20. Menthols are a favorite of blacks... she might be ticking off the black democrat base who don’t appreciate her trying to save their health by taking away their cig of choice.
When will she call for banning watermelons and fried chicken?
Up next...Watermelon, Fried Chicken, Chitlins’, Bar-B-Q Ribs...
Can someone, cite something, that isn’t considered racist?
Newport are the best cigarettes on the planet.....
Racist...my butt.
THe racists here are Shelly Whitehouse, and Injun Warren.
I sure hope blacks appreciate that the squaw is there to make the decisions she obviously thinks they are too stupid to make. Can a fake Indian be a real racist?
They are racist against blacks... because blacks like them preferentially over differently flavored cigarettes?
Warren is misdirecting her argument.
It is the advertising, not the cigs, that are targeting blacks.
Unless there are stores that only offer menthols to blacks, her argument is moot. Blacks have as much of a right to select which brand they want to purchase as other ethnic customers do.
This is just more of Libs doing what Libs like to do — trying to control everyone’s life.
Seriously, if blacks can't figure out that they're simply pawns for the Left in their ongoing quest to take over America (and if they do gain power blacks will be among the first to the gulags) then there's no helping them.
This one of the funniest (and most racist) things I’ve read in a while.
They don’t even realize how bigoted and racist they are. I wouldn’t be surprise if she starts casually using the N word at rallies.
This has to be fake.
