Black folk end up with more police contact per-capita (for a variety of reasons I clouding some abhorrent ones). This is a prime factor in disproportionate police violence against black peiole. Banning things disproportionately prevalent in black communities is a set up.

Whatever the purported benefits of banning menthol cigarettes, it seems appallingly clueless and tone-deaf in the present societal context. Expanding the most correlated factor of police violence for black people is a shit move.

It's hard to imagine a more systemically-racist policy, if one were to try to design one deliberately. What the fuck are Biden-administration officials smoking? I guess something legal.

(jeez, all the typos. Ugh)
