Every other time this has come up, all the black people I know were pissed off that they were going to be banned and pretty vocal about it.

I don't see why it would be any less likely that the menthol exception was due to listening to black peoples opposition to the ban.

The FDA's presently proposed ban is a response to lobbying and lawsuits from the African American community, particularly the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council.
