Where is it disproved? Menthol has always been heavily marketed towards the black community. It may be racist that companies did that, but it's not racist to identify that fact.

It’s disproved in the picture attached to the article. Holy shit can you people read. I’m not talking about the whole demographic I’m talking about Barrack Obama. Who was the subject of the joke.

But you’re saying it’s a racist stereotype to say Obama smoked menthols when it’s factually accurate to say people in his demographic are more likely to smoke menthols

He’s getting a bit too worked up over it, but you guys are pretty damn stupid lol. He’s saying it’s not true that he smokes newports and that the joke is altering reality to fit a racial stereotype (whether that stereotype is true or not).
