Of course. Everything is a case of racism.

[FlJoePa]

I will admit that our Fraternity (at PSU) in the 80’s would have different taps running during Sorority socials whereby the girls would get the malt liquor and the brothers would get the regular beer.

The results were what one would expect.

LOL.....of all the things to claim "killing" their community, some stinky advertisement is maybe the least of them.......

Colt 45 is pretty effective anyway.....

[Vidocq]

Not my cup of tea.

[JRios1968]

"This deal is getting worse all the time."

[Feasor13]

Detroit has more pressing issues to deal with than besides Lando pushing malt liquor. The city is a cesspool.

[vbmoneyspender]

jar jar likey

LOL.

[fieldmarshaldj]

But it works every time !

[Califreak]

[TheMole]

Yeah, Detroit would turn into Westchester County if they could only get rid of those billboards.

[Impy]

If I as a white dude, buy a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup is that racist? Sexist? Both?

[trisham]

My only beef with Billy Dee Williams is that he betrayed Han Solo.

*******************

LOL!

[Vanders9]

I dont get it. Either the point of the ad or that its “offensive”. Am I being dumb?

[RipSawyer]

The sad truth is that it is true, I have had a lot of experience with both Colt 45 and Schlitz malt liquors and I know that malt liquor has so distorted my judgement at times that I have let women do things with me that I can’t even describe here.

Bless your heart! Isn’t it just awful how women only want one thing? And they never put the seat back up.

And I fought them, man did I fight them.

[FourPeas]

That not just any "cartoon character", that's a Lego-esque cartoon character version of Bill Dee. *lowers voice to a whisper* I smell a conspiracy between big beer and big toy...

[RipSawyer]

And I fought them, man did I fight them.

Me too but I am only six four and I was a skinny lad, only around 230 back in my youth. I didn’t stand a chance!

[Hot Tabasco]

Some members of the Detroit City Council say they're unhappy with billboards throughout the city that boast Colt 45 malt liquor "works every time."

That's false advertisement. Nothing works in Detroit.......

[wardaddy]

they drink 40s...believe me.

when I was a kid I knew some who drank Dr Tichenors...

malt liquor has been the province of blacks....big bang for the buck

for as long as I have been around....52 years
