Biden Trying To Send Black People Back To Rear Of The Bus, Even Activist Al Sharpton Admits It

Nothing says racist more than a President who spent a career targeting Black people through legislation, much of which resulted in one of the biggest tragedies in American history, the mass incarceration of Black Men for petty crimes. Even his language in arguing for the infamous 1990's crime bills was racially charged. Now, his attack takes another form.

A pending ban on menthol cigarettes is yet another way Democrats are trying to control the Black community, as it is known that Blacks are the key audience for Menthol cigarettes. The move could also be added to President Joe Biden’s list of accumulating woes as the midterm elections near.

According to a new poll of voters in three swing states, on top of a struggling economy, immigration matters, and inflation, the Biden Administration could hurt Democratic hopefuls with its ban on menthol cigarettes.

“Opposition to this ban centers around the fact that voters do not believe a ban would be effective, it would spawn an illicit market, and should not be a major priority given all other crises going on,” read the text of an Echelon Insights poll of voters in Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina.

Banning menthol cigarettes is opposed by between 50% and 52% of voters in the three states, while only 28% to 31% support it, The poll found. All three states have Senate races on the ballot this fall. A majority of Independents and a plurality of Democrats wish to keep menthol legal in each state. In Nevada, 54% of Hispanic voters agree. On April 29, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it was working toward banning menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars “within the next year.” Officials are currently finalizing the plan to ban menthols, which were exempted from a ban on flavored cigarettes enacted in 2009.

The FDA argues the ban could save hundreds of thousands of lives and will “address health disparities experienced by communities of color, low-income populations, and LGBTQ+ individuals.” An estimated 85% of Black smokers use menthol cigarettes.

Black leaders have spoken out both for and against the ban. The NAACP penned a letter to Biden Administration officials outlining its support for the ban, while Al Sharpton’s National Action Network issued its own letter making the opposite case.

“This would expose consumers to dangerous contraband cigarettes, increase youth access to cigarettes and promote criminal activity,” reads Sharpton’s letter. “Further, a menthol ban would exacerbate existing, simmering issues around racial profiling, discrimination, and policing.”

Critics highlight that Sharpton’s group has accepted money from Reynolds American, the creator of Newport cigarettes. Still, his concerns are shared by Richard Marianos, a Georgetown University professor and former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives officer.

“If you put in a prohibition, you will have to go out and lock up and harass people for selling menthol cigarettes,” he stated. “It will have a great adverse effect on police reform and community policing.”
