It's amazing what commercials are allowed on TV

Hmm, had to get my Dad to stop the last couple years. He was smokin Pall Malls or Camels. He started back up because of his wife. She wound up dying of stage 4 lung cancer. That made him quit. She'd been a heavy smoker all her life
My dad smoked Viceroy light 100's and literally smoked himself to death. Right after he retired he would sneak outside every thirty minutes to smoke. I told my mom he is smoking his self to death. Two weeks to the day I said that he couldn't get off the couch complaining of several pain in his back. We took him to the doctor and he had stage 4 cancer that started in his lungs and had moved to his liver, spine and other organs. He died a week later. He smoked all his adult life starting when he was in his late teens.

I . Half of which died on the way over and thrown overboard.
I mean, who lets 50% of their product go bad in shipment? I mean that would have to be some seriously bad businessmen.
“Oh look I’m so racist that I’m gonna kill or just let die 50% of my potential profit.

That figure has been debunked before.
Actual figures are about 14%, which is consistent with all people/ cargo of all types that are ship borne. Usually the whole ship perished in storms no matter the cargo and thus skewing the numbers high.

When you use BS made up stats to support your statements, people tend to disregard you entirely.

Slavery was an abomination in our world’s history. Still is in many African/Middle East areas, a fact that is usually overlooked/ignored in most white guilt diatribes.

No one is inherently good or bad, based simply on skin color.
Martin Luther had it right. “Content of character” should be the only thing one is judged on.

I just threw a number out there for reference per ship. I not a freaking historian. Anyway my conclusion was it was horrible. That's the affect I was going for. Unspeakable evil regardless. I didn't look up the facts for a counter post. I was just making a grotesque visual for the reader. However, thank you for the accurate representation of the facts. It's actually worse than I was getting at. 👍
 
How this thread went from menthol cigarettes to a battle of intelligence on slavery statistics is beyond me.
I will repeat myself. I started dipping snuff at 16 and had never seen a commercial of Joe Cowboy with his lips pouched out and dark brown teeth exposed for the camera. I started on my lonesome so I can't say big tobacco industry was targeting me and showing me subliminal advertisement on chewing tobacco. It's a choice we make when it comes right down to it. THAT IS ALL!
 
I've seen the commercial....AND I wondered....did the cigarette maker put a gun to her head???
I smoked Menthol Marlboro's until I stopped in 1985....I NEVER gave one thought that Marlboro "forced" those cigarettes upon me...It was a free choice, by a free buyer...nothing else...
The cigarette companies are out there to make money...we've known since the early 70's that cigarettes' are not good for you....is it the cigarette company's fault, that you, with all the knowledge you have, keep smoking...NO!!!
I hate this blame game for your weakness crap!!!
I see folks smoke today, and I just shake my head.....BUT I'm reminded, it's a free choice that they make....
