TBH this news is pretty mid compared to the Nazi booth at CPAC.
Republicans have become so weak that they have to take whoever still wants to deal with them.
Anyone else go to Fox for your black people news?
/c/BlackPeopleFoxNews would be an interesting place.
"DEY ALSO LOVE EATING THE WATERMELONS, HAVE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES WITH A SIDE OF SPRITE, WHILE SMOKING MENTHOL CIGARETTES! DEM BLACK PEOPLE WILL SURELY VOTE FOR US IF WE ALL CATER TO THEIR CULTURAL VALUES!"
This guy's mind right now.
Massachusetts banned the sale of menthol cigarettes and I always found that as a surprisingly racist move.
Sure, white people smoke menthol…sometimes. But proportionally, far more black people smoke menthol, and far more black smokers choose menthol.
Now, I quit smoking many years ago (thank fuck), but we had Newport Reds as a rather new variety when I was nearing the end of my smoking tenure. They were non-menthol, while Newport is traditionally a menthol brand, and these were in a red pack. Non-menthol. They were hard as fuck. I loved them.
Now, the menthol ban had been in place a while at this point, as I said, non-smoker. I had gone out for some beers and was trying to find a pack of my friends brand, as she had fallen on hard times and I thought it a nice gestur. Her brand was Camel Crush, which starts of regular and has a menthol bead in the filter which can be “crushed” to make it a menthol cigarette). I found it to be completely unavailable after like three shops. Thats how I found out about the ban.
I asked about the green pack of Newports. Turns out they are non-menthol, and that pissed off a lot of unsuspecting people.
Thank you for attending my TEE talk. Souvenir belt onions are available in the lobby.
Used to live in DC. Smoked.
Picked up the habit for menthols cuz all my co-workers were black and all of them who smoked were smoking menthols. Marlboro not P-funks, but still.
Ok. But who doesn't like fried chicken? Like that is not just one group of people.
Fried chicken is what stands between me and being a vegetarian.
Same with watermelon. What group doesn't like delicious fruit? Not anybody I wanna be associated with.
I don't like watermelon. (I gave that up in the bargain.)
Do go on...
Edit: seriously, what? You can't leave us hanging
If I reveal the benefits, I lose them.
Can you tell me the other drawbacks?
I mean the bargain itself just had the cost of liking watermelon. I was warned about more consequences, but none of the usual stuff was part of it. I also can't disclose a bunch of information about the specifics of how the bargain was made, the organization, etc. I don't remember what the Enforcement mechanism was, either. I have a copy of the terms from the organization that helped me establish contact, but I can't really reference the entire thing because about 2 years ago it got covered in McDonald's Big Mac Sauce and it dried before I noticed. It's currently sitting at the bottom of a drawer covered in (iirc) wax paper and several other documents on top of it. I'm 90% sure that the words still exist, and I'm afraid that if I clean the document the words might be damaged and I'm fairly concerned with the potential metaphysical implications. I also don't remember all of the information that I'm prohibited from disclosing, so I won't be going into any further details about that.
That really clears it up pretty succinctly. I understand perfectly. Thank you!

I was hoping a warlock pact.
I guess we can't be friends, then. I don't like how watermelon tastes. I do love cutting it up and giving it to my ducks, though
No that counts we're friends
Oh awesome!
I know it's silly on a couple levels, but it made me happy you are happy that we can be friends despite our vast watermelon differences. Please tell your ducks I said hello, friend.
You're lucky they're a duck.
ETA: "Well that's just ducky" would have been better.
But I'm not a duck? If anything I'd be a turkey.
What the fuck is wrong with people
This guy specifically? He's a racist asshole, who has been surrounded by other racist assholes and gotten support from them, so he has never learned that his behavior is unacceptable in a society that values freedom.
that hair is weirding me out. thin, receding hairline in the front yet solid black on the side? must be using the same stylist as giuliani.
Looks pretty sus.
He looks like he went to the barber and asked for the MS Paint
Probably the same can of spray-on hair that Stephen Miller uses
The onion is on fire this week.
Wait..
I hope the Biden campaign is ignoring all of the ridiculous distractions out there and actually focusing on releasing a fly-ass sneaker befitting the office of the President of the United States.
The real question is which one is going to get their sneakers on the feet of an NBA heavyweight during a game?
And which rapper will sport Biden's sneakers when Kanye inevitably wears Trump's monstrosities?
Oh I fully expected them to be a design collaboration with will.i.am
At this point someone at the Biden campaign thinking that copying this is a good idea wouldn't even surprise me.
