So long old friend.

I dont recall anyone mentioning legal action against red man . If theyre gonna puss out and change a name ... what not have a logo of a colonist and a " native American " smoking together ... or ... the Indian handing over tobacco to theevil white devil ... Blame it on them , the bastids and rename it Red Man

I have news for them that they would already know if their marketing people had the brains of a grasshopper. The anti-tobacco people and the cultural appropriation people are going to come after them anyway. I just wonder what would happen to Beverly Hillbilly reruns if people (or more likely person) raised hell about it. It done for Dukes of Hazard. Not because of the redneck character portrayals though. It was that reprehensible flag that thousands of American Southerners fought and died for painted on the car. Then they had the audacity to name the traitorous vehicle General Lee. Patton has to go. He was an unabashed bigot as he put forth in no uncertain terms in his book "War as I Knew It". Maybe we should erase him from history. His grandfather was a Confederate officer. Enough reason right there. Jimmy Carter's grandmother refused to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom in the Whitehouse. Might as well get that presidential cracker too. So much to ban and destroy, so little time.

With all the warnings plastered over tobacco products these days they could leave the Indian and add a tombstone. Rename it Redman's Revenge.

Why would we want to erase Native American Heritage? They should of named it Commander’s Chew

Well, if they didn't want lose millions defending a cultural misappropriation lawsuit, probably Pinkerton made the right decision. But they surely could have come up with some better alternatives than America's Best, which seems pretty lame in an almost sarcastic way. How about something edgier like Dead Man, or Red Ant with a big angry red ant head? Or Red Clam.
Or Red Head, with a saucy, sexy, busty redhead? That's something could get behind, so to speak.

Red Apple Tobacco

Or Red Herring!

Pretty soon there will be no depictions of Indians anywhere. Why would anyone want that?
