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.

I know that tomorrow morning when I take my first sip of my morning coffee, I’m going to enjoy it just as much as I did THIS morning.
I read the article, and it’s definitely a sick, racist mind that wrote that crap.
Gotta go get the coffee maker set up. See ya….
Posted as sarcasm it’s so stupid.
We pay a price they ask they get offer a deal (or not).
It’s called commerce.
The best part of waking up is white supremacy in your cup!
This outdoes the article about white paint being racist.
Thank you for explaining AFRU.
Nice to know exactly who the targets are when the SHTF.
They are “all things to all people”. Just don’t drink coffee…
The Fallacy of this is that Coffee is consumed all over the world by a lot of people who are not White.
Late post for who? We don’t all live on the east coast. Anyway...
As a normal white man over the age of 40, I feel oppressed every time I go into a coffee shop myself. Black coffee, that’s all I want, yet I am surrounded by hipsters and weirdos.
I they used to say in the Army, “I like my coffee like I like my men. Strong and black!”
It’s a joke people, simmer down!

So eating food is racist.
Food plants only grow by exploiting BLACK soil.
Simple as can be, food is racist .
I only drink black coffee to offset any white supremacy
Round here Waffle House generally has a pretty even mix of black and white coffee drinkers. If the place is full and a black man is sitting alone at a table he will invite a black man or any other to come sit at his table and vice versa I suppose that is racist.

and it’s not our fault they are all inferior ;)
Bitter black -- that was me, wanting my coffee straight
Sweet blonde -- one of the guys who took cream and sugar
We also had monikers for people who preferred tea, or soda, or fruit juice. I don't remember those after more than five decades.
Didn't matter what race, sex, or ethnic background. No one took exception to this way of keeping track. No one.
We cared. That's what was important.
I hate adding pollutants like milk and sugar to my coffee. I like coffee. Many people don’t like coffee but drink it for social reasons and have to load it up with milk or the available milk-like substance and sugar. Aspiring diabetics put in three spoons of sugar.
They can sell it to the room-temp IQ crowd.
