"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.

Anti-Fa should go protest at all starbucks, for most of them it will be easy as they only have to walk 10ft for their next shift.
These “things” should not be considered women. They are mutants not human at all. I am offended by everything they stand for as a human, woman and free thinking entity.
I always drink my coffee black which, in these times, is probably a form of cultural appropriation. (I even feel funny ordering a “black coffee” from an African American coffee shop person.) Damn! If I had only known about this before. Gotta get me some of that K-k-k-koffee! WHITE POWER!!
/s (hopefully not needed)
“Batshit Crazy” is fading from sight in their rear-view mirror. I’m not sure we have an expression to adequately describe where they are now.
I once made a clerk at a high end coffee place collapse. I ordered a black coffee
Speaking of pumpkins. I only see jack-o-lanterns in that photo.
Locate your nearest "Trump, Inc." owned property. If they have a lunch counter, coffee house, restaurant or whatever there, go in and order some food. And pay for it. According to the author's "logic" (Hah!), doing that supports white supremacy.
Because Covfefe. And Pepe. Or something.
I just knew there is something wrong with artificially punken spicen everything.
So this is how the DemonRATs are financing their KKK and Nazi branches.
Geeeez you really missed it on this. A gender neutral or non-specific gender restroom is discriminatory because people who are not gender neutral or non-gendered are forced to go against their identity. A transgendered shmale should be able to affirm their chosen identity by using a restroom that has people of that biological identity who affirm themselves of that identity.
The battle is not about discrimination it is about affirmation. If you are not affirming then your are discriminating.
Love it. Idiots like this should yell louder. Everytime they open their mouths, another Trump voter - at least one - is created....
Minnesota?
I saw an article on the Food Network RSS feed this week about a dating app site that mapped hated foods by state, and Minnesota dating profiles disliked “pumpkin spice anything” most often.
What’s terrifying (after reading that mind-bender several times) is there are some people who will earnestly agree with that statement.
The militant sociopathic racist lesbians are upset that a handfull of Starbucks are in Trump-owned properties.
IMHO, they'd be upset if one was in a Trump property, or if Trump properties were completely Starbucks-free.
They have no idea it’s just turning more people against them.
Ain’ nobody got time for no pumpkin spice latte ‘cept for some honky ass cracka whitey.
pumpkin spice. Hmm.. ok, who exactly am I supposed to be racist from? or to? or, what is even she talking about??
Pumpkin: oldest seeds so far found in central America. Pilgrims knew what pumpkins were because they had been cultivated in England for over 100 years.
Nutmeg (Venetians via Indonesia, Arabs, Bandese, Portuguese, British -who planted trees in Granada, Coca-Cola). Mainly used in US, Japan, India, Europe. A pound of nutmeg = 7 fat oxen in 14Cen. Germany
Cinnamon (China, Moses, Egyptians for embalming, Venetians, Arabs, Romans, Portugese) Columbus thought he found it in the New World, Pizzaro thought he found it in South America, the Portugese found it in Ceylon. Dutch, Brits. Quickly lost its trade value to cheaper cassia.
Cloves (China, Romans, Arabs, Japanese, Spain, Portugese, Dutch). Han Dyn. emperors required visitors to chew a clove. One of the first spices traded, worth their weight in gold but price soon collapsed with cultivation. A pound of cloves = 3 sheep
Ginger (ancient Europe, ancient China, southern Asia, India, Romans, Greeks, Arabs) Marco Polo revived interest in the spice. Introduced 15thCen. to Caribbean. Jamaica, China, India largest suppliers. A pound of ginger = 1 sheep
i don't know from lattes, but, the HHBC Pumpkin Ale is tasting good this time of year... 
I guess they have gone from bat shit crazy to ape $hit.
