Several black community voices have raised concerns over this possibility, including the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), which  released  a statement laying out concerns “about the unintended consequences of a ban, which we believe would precipitate a robust and troubling illicit market … NOBLE is also concerned that enforcement activities could lead to inequities in law enforcement in African American communities.” Full Article: https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/how-the-fda-s-proposed-menthols-ban-could-harm-black-communities

In an interview with TheBlaze's Glenn Beck, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said that mass shooter Dylann Roof "hijacked" what people in South Carolina viewed as a symbol of "service, and sacrifice and heritage."

Police violence and the health of black infants

Police use of force is a controversial issue, but the broader consequences and spillover effects are not well understood. This study examines the impact of in utero exposure to police killings of unarmed blacks in the residential environment on black infants’ health.  Using a preregistered, quasi-experimental design and data from 3.9 million birth records in California from 2007 to 2016, the findings show that police killings of unarmed blacks substantially decrease the birth weight and gestational age of black infants residing nearby.  There is no discernible effect on white and Hispanic infants or for police killings of armed blacks and other race victims, suggesting that the effect reflects stress and anxiety related to perceived injustice and discrimination. Police violence thus has spillover effects on the health of newborn infants that contribute to enduring black-white disparities in infant health and the inter-generational transmission of disadvantage at the earliest sta
