"Pumpkin spice just doesn't taste as good when you add a shot of racism," a feminist leader explained as the fall flavor began to pop up in coffee shops around the country. This is a shockingly weird claim, but it shouldn't be surprising.
In an editorial published last month, we wrote about the Left's effort to broaden the boundaries of concepts such as white supremacy and racism in a way that impugns the conduct of well-meaning people. Now, a feminist nonprofit is running a campaign to convince festive imbibers of Pumpkin Spice Lattes they're unknowingly boosting the cause of white supremacy.
The co-founder of UltraViolet issued the "shot of racism" statement Sept. 6. I knew Starbucks had a secret menu, but the baristas must really be keeping these racism shots on the down low.
A social media post from the group informed readers: "That favorite fall drink of yours is funding rent payments to white supremacy."
Given the severity of the campaign's language, one may assume profits from sales of Starbucks' beloved PSLs are being surreptitiously redirected to the Klan or neo-Nazi groups. In fact, UltraViolet's actual complaint is that a couple of Starbucks' 24,000 locations happen to be in properties owned by the Trump Organization.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.

I might go to a Starbucks and order one, and I don’t even like pumpkin.
My son was in college during Obama and had to take several humanities courses taught by rabid femminists/pre-BLM radicals, etc.
He’d scheme to write his papers with the most leftist bent possible. There were a few of his papers that were virtually unreadable to me as they where written to appease and were pure leftist tripe.
It got to be a game with him and he’d crow to me when he’d write an absolute stinker and get an A grade.
I think the article writer may be playing the same game.
It’s orange and feminists think Trump is orange, so orange is the new fascism?
Makes sense!
She must have gone to London.
Big Ben is stopped...............
I have NEVER bought anything from Starbucks.
I don’t know what a ‘latte’ is.
I don’t particularly like ‘Pumpkin Spice’.
But now I want one................................
But I am white and I voted for Trump.
So I guess through guilt by association, I must be a white supremacist.
I that this twisted person's logic?
No wonder they say all liberals are mentally ill. At a minimum, mentally deficient.
I hate pumpkin spice, but hey, if it advances the cause of White Supremacy I guess I’ll have to order one.
Bland tasteless crap, at least at Starbucks. Guess I’m going to have to enjoy my white privilege some other way.
Think I’ll have a triple thick covfefe shake to go with my order of schadenfreude fries.
Pumpkin spice lattes are racist? They are all full of BS and I am not defending pumpkin spice lattes. I prefer to eat my pumpkin, not drink it.
I don’t think there is a starbucks within 30 miles of my house. And I am not going to look for one.
White women are the only ones I know of that drink these horrible concoctions, so why are women up in arms over them?
Huh? Did they look like this?
The left is giving bat shit crazy a bad name....
