Blaming Coka-Cola for personal health problems of an entire race is akin to blaming the bottle for drunk diving. The individual has to start taking personal responsibility. That has been severely lacking in black political presentation.
These 'pastors' are just trying extort funds in the mold of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. m/r
William Lamar, the senior pastor at
D.C.’s historic Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, is
tired of presiding over funerals for parishioners who died of heart
disease, diabetes and stroke.
So on Thursday, he and
another prominent African American pastor filed suit against Coca-Cola
and the American Beverage Association, claiming soda manufacturers
knowingly deceived customers about the health risks of sugar-sweetened
beverages — at enormous cost to their communities.
The complaint,
filed in D.C. Superior Court Thursday on behalf of the pastors and the
Praxis Project, a public health group, alleges that Coke and the ABA ran
an intentional campaign to confuse consumers about the causes of
obesity.
