Because just years ago the LEFT was then yelling RACISM, because Salem, and Newports were said to cause greater / quicker lung problems and the sales were AIMED the Black-American community.
AUSTIN, TX– The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to institute more measures to safeguard black lives by banning products they like. After it was announced that the Biden administration would prohibit the sale of menthol cigarettes, officials are looking at other ways the government can save the black community from itself.
Only days after the menthol ban was announced, the FDA declared that it was pushing full steam ahead with its effort to rescue the black community through what they refer to as “strategic race-based prohibition.” An FDA official explained that the fried fowl and grape-flavored cola – also known as “grape drank” – must be banned because “these hopeless negroes don’t know how to act.”
“Preventing black people from killing themselves by banning certain products is the least we can do given the level of oppression they have endured in this country,” said a high-ranking member of the Biden administration. “This is why fried chicken and grape soda have to go.”
He added: “How could they possibly survive if we don’t make these decisions for them?”
Some have raised concerns about the menthol ban, arguing that it would lead to more interactions with the police which could result in more black fatalities during these encounters. However, the FDA assures us the number of black men shot to death by police will pale in comparison to the warm fuzzy feeling white progressives will have knowing African Americans are no longer smoking Newports, eating Popeye’s, or drinking carbonated grape-flavored beverages.
Another FDA official also noted that “dying from fried chicken consumption is proven to be more fatal than being riddled with racist police bullets.”
“It is SO fatal. You don’t even know,” the official said.
The new measure is expected to cause some upheaval in the fried chicken industry. Kentucky Fried Chicken and Popeye’s are both scrambling to develop new baked chicken recipes and have begun looking at plant-based options. “We need to show these blacks that fake fried chicken is better than real fried chicken,” he argued.
The official seemed optimistic about the plan, insisting that “it won’t be nearly as hard as getting them to take that damn vaccine.”

I've never understood the fascination with Nike's or how they went from relatively decently priced to insane prices. They've never been that comfy and I've long preferred asics, even before Colin "Crybaby" Kapwhatever.
[THENATIONALPULSE] House Democrats introduced a bill to block forms of federal grants from going to employers that conduct criminal background checks, or even "inquire" about the criminal history of an applicant.
The bill, introduced by Representatives David Trone and The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters ...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 29.41212 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 44.41006 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist... , seeks to "amend" the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by "conditioning eligibility for grants" under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program.
JAG grants, according to the Department of Justice, compose the "leading source of federal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions." The program "provides states, tribes, and local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas" including crime victim and witness initiatives, mental health programs, and crime prevention.

Guess they're trying to protect their future employment opportunities.

‘ELIGIBILITY.—Beginning with the third fiscal year that begins after the date of the enactment of the Workforce Justice Act of 2021, to be eligible for an allocation under this section, a State shall have enacted and be implementing legislation that prohibits private employers from—‘‘(A) requiring an applicant to disclose whether the applicant has a criminal record;
‘‘(B) inquiring about the criminal record of an applicant prior to a conditional offer of employment; and
‘‘(C) conducting a criminal background check on an applicant prior to a conditional offer of employment.’’
I take this to mean prohibit private schools, day cares, etc... from conducting background research. Or even asking if the applicant has a criminal record.
Call it the Pervert Empowerment Act. No wonder Democrats love it.
[NYPOST] Sen. Tim Scott on Wednesday knocked President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...... for "empty platitudes" about national unity while also accusing the US of "systemic racism" in a blistering Republican response to Biden’s first speech to a joint session of Congress.
The South Carolina Republican said Democrats hypocritically talked about unity while filibustering his policing reform bill and rejecting GOP efforts to influence Biden’s recently passed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill.
Scott, one of just three black senators, also said "America is not a racist country" — rejecting Biden’s recent assessment of America as systemically racist.
"Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country. It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.
"Original sin is never the end of the story. Not in our souls and not for our nation. The real story is always redemption," Scott said.
[BREITBART] On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s "Morning Joe," New York City Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... (D) reacted to news that New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo’s (D) administration hid the corpse count in nursing homes from coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... by re-iterating his call for Cuomo to resign and stating that between the nursing home and sexual harassment and assault scandals, "it doesn’t end. He just has to go."
De Blasio said, "Simply, Mika, he should resign. I’ve been saying this for months. He can’t continue to lead. Nursing home scandal, sexual harassment and assault scandal, using his staff to write his book, I mean, it’s just — it doesn’t end. He just has to go."
