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.

If you visit the how to be an ally section, it becomes more apparent the whole site is parody.
Expensive and convenient crappy coffee.
Every single black NCO and soldier I served with in the Army back in the ‘70’s-’80’s drank coffee, I had no idea at the time how racist they were.🙄
Like The People’s Cube?
If I was wedded to wallowing in pity for myself and everyone in my race I would write the above... even so I would be incapable of believing such drivel...this writer wins the pity party award for most pathetic. What an honor.../s
Thanks. Like to get songs here.
An obscure but good album is Black Coffee by Al Kooper.
Kools.
Opened from one side of the bottom of the pack
LOLOL...that still cracks me up. Those kids played it perfectly. The look on the boy’s face is priceless. And the way the little girl said that so nonchalantly — incredible.
I took a sip of coffee once.
Hated it,
never tried it again.
I even hate the taste of mocha icing or mocha ice cream... but I do kind of like the smell of a good coffee brewing properly.
So does that make me a racist or not?
How about a nice cup of hemlock? That will solve all your problems.
Author needs to hang out in (North) Oakland, CA. Plenty of coffeehouses there, chain and independent, many of them frequented by the local Ethiopian and Eritrean population. They know and love their coffee.
Maybe. I hadn’t heard of that one before.
In the mid 70s, I worked in Red China for about seven months. At the main job site, there were so many guys named “Wang” that we had to give them nicknames to keep them straight. There was “Tall Wang” (the tall guy, of course), “Whiskers Wang” (the guy with the straggly chin whiskers) and a few others. Good old “Whiskers” cracked me up.
Neither do I.
Liberals are wacko 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
That’s correct.
And it bolsters their economies.
The guys an idiot. People like him live in a bubble. They really think they know everything.
Haven't been in one of those places in ages. Never thought their coffee was any good anyway. High dollar gag.
