"Silence is violence." My new tag.
“I’d like to teach the world to sing, you racist whitey!”
Deep pockets. Did they think of including the NRA, since evidently black people are being forced to drink sugary sodas at gunpoint!
Callin’ Dr Jessie...callin’ Dr Jessie...
I’d put them on notice and ask for Rule 11.
On the other hand, if they give in to the blackmail (or should that be BlackMan mail, I’ll file my own suit.
The reason for “sugary drink taxes” is vital.
Revenue is needed for the city governments and they have to find a scapegoat to justify the taxation.
The game is the same one played with cigarettes 20 years ago.
>According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012 research showed daily regular soda and fruit drink consumption was most common among black and Hispanic Americans.
That does not even rhyme with ESAD morons.
Any excuse for their evil will do I guess.

Here in CA we may have a $hit government, but we aren't fat. And it doesn't look too good for the areas of the country we count on to elect Republicans. Looking at the Deep South, it's evident they need to quit frying everything the put in their mouths. Yeah we can ridicule these Black Pastors for their lawsuit, but their Low IQ parishioners can't seem to figure out for themselves what's killing them.
Sounds like an attempt at a ‘shakedown’ of Coca-Cola.
Personal responsibility or Individual Responsibility is the idea that human beings choose, instigate, or otherwise cause their own actions.
A corollary idea is that because we cause our actions, we can be held morally accountable or legally liable. Personal responsibility can be contrasted to the idea that human actions are caused by conditions beyond the agent’s control.
Since the late 19th-century, personal responsibility has become increasingly associated with political conservatism and libertarianism.
More recently, personal responsibility has been associated with the reform of social welfare programs (e.g. in the Personal Responsibility and Welfare Reform Act of 1996).
The earliest known English use of the phrase is by Massachusetts Rep. Nathaniel Gorham at the U.S. Constitutional Convention on July 18, 1787.[1]
silly pastors.
they should be educating their folks. we are to live in the world but not conform to it.
so many churches serve donuts etc, are these pastors gonna file about those?
people make their choices to buy or consume things.
Personal choices are your own damn fault. This is as stupid and most liberal ideas.
If you don’t buy soda for your kids they seldom drink it.
I hope they also sue that Funny Face dude too
Finally some pastors speak out.
Nowhere in the Bible is Coke and sugary drinks mentioned. Wine, on the other hand, is mentioned many many times :) oh, and water. Wine tastes better though.
Now,let me find a scripture which gives pastors the right to sue companies...
“Pastors” should be in quotes.
I thought blacks drank Pepsi, grape soda or Sprite. I mean, since we’re making drinking soda a racial thing now.
So blacks and hispanics have no personal choice, no will power to say no, and are incredibly unintelligent?
Tad racist on their part.
Guessing they really don’t see how they will be shredded in court.
Another lawsuit on the part of blacks citing evidence showing that voluntary behavior on the part of blacks and whites is different.
From the same people who would charge you with racism and discrimination if you dare to put forth the idea that there are intrinsic differences, other than skin color, between the races.
Guess they never understood the concept of personal responsibility.
