Bier Meister 1,508 Posted March 8, 2019 I don't know about racist, but there certainly is a target market. Is this equivalent to those candy cigars and cigarettes? Is the causality and/or correlation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUXBNME 1,297 Posted March 8, 2019 “We know that children emulate adults and what they see to be cool,” Gilliam said. “So you have them going to the store, which just happens to be next to a liquor store where you might see people hanging out drinking 40s, so you want to emulate that and you can do it with a 40 water. Great, they’re getting nourished as far as the water. But their behavior is emulating that of these people that are consuming alcohol. And it’s like a precursor.” Some troof to this. Remember candy cigs? Wiffleball did a good vid back in 2006 about them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,050 Posted March 8, 2019 I briefly scanned the article, but I did see mention of how 40s were glamorized by rap music. How is that racist, then, if the black community was glamoriziing it? Or was it due to Vanilla Ice and Snow behind it all? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big focking deal Country music used to glamorize Jack Daniels all the time with various artists. Hell, Johnny Paycheck glamorized Coors beer in one of my favorite songs. Wanna hear it? Yea...you do Well, I was sittin' in this beer joint down in Houston, Texas Was drinkin' Colorado Cool-Aid and talkin' to some Mexicans An' we was, what's that you say? What's Colorado Cool-Aid? Well, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream It'll set you head on fire an' make your kidneys scream Oh, it sure is fine Yeah, we was havin' ourselves one of them real good times But you know every beer joint that you've ever been in Some big, mean drunk who just ain't got no friend Sure enough, he wants to fight Yeah, he's gonna whip everything in sight Well, he took him a big cold swallow of beer And he walked over and spit in my Mexican friends ear And sure enough that made my buddy real mad That's somethin' like he ain't never had Well, Sir, he pulled out a big, long switch blade knife Quick as a whistle he began to slice That big mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears Lookin' down at the floor, an' one of his ears Ha, he cut that thing off even with the sideburns You might say the little Mexican fella, he just didn't give a darn But he was a gentleman about it An' bent over and with a half way grin Picked it up and handed it back to him He said, "Now big man, you get the urge to spit a little beer "Just open up your hand there and spit it in your own ear Won't be no trouble that way", that's what I heard him say And I said, "Barmaid, set us up a round of that Colorado Cool-Aid While you're up there, bring this big fella here, a box of Bandaids" Now let me tell you if you're ever ridin' down in south of Texas And decide to stop an' drink some Colorado Cool-Aid An' maybe talk to some Mexicans An' you get the urge to get a little tough Better make damn sure you got your knife proof ear-muff Hey, ain't that right, big man? I said ain't that right big man? Ah, hell he can't hear, not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear Hey barmaid, bring us all a big, tall glass of that Colorado Cool-Aid How about it? How you doin', big man? Still got your ear there in your hand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
