Is coffee racist? How drinking coffee perpetuates white supremacy
AFRU ^ | August 27,2023 | AFRU Staff

Posted on 08/27/2023 7:48:43 PM PDT by packagingguy

If you’re a person of color, you know what I’m talking about. You walk into a new coffee shop and your senses are overwhelmed with whiteness and you get the glare from the Karens. The white hipster barista lines herself up between you and the bathrooms, ready to tell you non-customers aren’t welcome...

Well, I’m here to validate your lived experience; coffee is in fact horribly racist, and there’s data to back it up.

Every facet of the coffee industry, in fact, is rooted in racism. From the moment the whites viciously stole coffee from Black and Brown People to the present-day Karen sipping her morning cup of white supremacy, whites have been able to drink the fruits of our labor and our culture with impunity...

Unfortunately, coffee is not the only racist drink on the market. Milk also became racist after white supremacists began using the white drink as a symbol of their skin. Yes, racist roots in the coffee industry are certainly much deeper, but the whiteness of milk and milk’s devastating effects on the beautiful Black body makes it almost as bad as coffee for some Black people.

So, if both milk and coffee are racist, what can be done? Many people will insist that combining the two drinks actually cancels out the racism, because it represents the white becoming pregnant with Blackness, and creating a delicious Brown result. This is why antiracist folks often take milk in their coffee — a subconscious purifying ritual.

But ultimately, and I know this will hurt, a proper commitment to doing antiracist direct action requires that we give up coffee altogether. Unless you’re Ethiopian.

Mr. Afru, what you’ve just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent article were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in the internet is now dumber for having seen it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

” doing antiracist direct action requires that we give up coffee altogether. Unless you’re Ethiopian.”

As soon as you give up your cell phone and the wheel and electricity.

I always notice how much the commies like to throw around the word, “folks.”

So this person senses racism from the twenty something baristas most of whom are lesbians or transgenders, and half are minorities.

The article at the referenced site is undated, but
it was posted here back in March of this year.
No idea what led you to visit such a site...

No it’s not. The people who write this nonsense are psychopaths.

I find the lack of mention of Keurig and Nespresso coffee pods disturbing.

EVERYTHING is racist. Thinking that not everything can be racist, is racist.

Photo of tomorrow’s baristas at the ready....

Remember Starbucks CEO had the employees write things on coffee cups with sharpies and be ready for discussions they encouraged.
“Let’s talk about white racism.”

The (unexpected) strongly negative reaction from America’s coffee customers led the CEO to say he was dropping the practice and encouraging the exploration of other avenues to ending white racism.

We disagree.

Not Starbucks but like others. Oddly, I like McCafe at McDonald’s.

At work one woman had a mug
“Give Me My Cup of Coffee and Nobody Gets Hurt”
and another had
“I’m Drinking This Coffee For Your Protection.

Shouldn’t Whitey cut off from coffee and go back to limey tea from other countries with majority POCs?
