This. Jack has been white trash, hick hill billy, mix it with coke choice for whites.
But I highly doubt blacks will start drinking more of it. Maybe some family claims to be the relatives and looks for money or something.
>be JD
>buy out popular cognac brand Remy
>claim JD was made by blacks
>JD cognac soon
what a market plan

I'd really like to see their sales after this. What a genius idea.

Jack fucking sucks anyway who cares
Not sure if I'm inclined to believe it the book was written in 1967 in the peak of the civil rights era. And by a descendant of the slave.
But there wasn't really any afrocentric we wuz everything movement back then. Maybe he did or didn't or maybe the role of the slave just got more exaggerated with every generation. I can't really tell for sure. I think, though, most likely he did have some contribution maybe some altercation to it or something like that.

Shit, so thats why i never liked Whiskey.
>Slave
>Somehow knows the intricacies of whiskey brewing
Considering that was a dedicated trade and profession in the British isles while slavery existed, no.
No he didn't.

who cares jack daniels is absolutely terrible swill
now if it was makers mark, then this would be interesting
Damn thats some smart marketing. Jack will be super hip and MTV tier awesome instead of being the fat motorcyclers drink of choice.
Well played marketing team.
