How is delaying it doing any good? It’s almost worse to delay the ban, that sends the message “we’re going to ban menthols anyway, but we don’t want it to realize our racism until after you vote”

Sadly the GOP is too dumb to hammer this point.

Most people don't keep up with what is going on until it hits them upside the head.

Seems dumb for them to even bring the topic up at all publicly if this is how they're going to approach it

At some point you'd expect the American black would pick up on the clues but here we are. Maybe this is the year? So many examples of inherent racism passed off as "progress"(affirmative action,DEI, the list goes on)and yet never once has the crowd figured it out. At some point you just lose hope they ever will. Im always reminded of Woody Harrelsons laymen break down of the 2 races in "White Men Can't Jump" on these occasions. Such a simple explanation that, if used respectively, lays it out pretty well. Free stuff looks good too. If perception is ever to be changed it must start with themselves figuring out why the perception is what it is. Or caring about what the perception is. Many simply just don't care. Happy to continue to feed it. Therefore all these years later and "progress" is still the goal. Racial progress peaked in 2016. Trump returned the left to its normal racist roots.
