Is coffee racist? How drinking coffee perpetuates white supremacy

Created by Black people for Black people—and now a pillar of white supremacist capitalism. If you consume coffee, you are helping an industry built on racism.

Now not eating worms is also racist :laugh:



I actually listened to the whole half hour NPR broadcast. Turns out it's not really racist, very little was even said about race. They start out talking about a Dutch politician using anti-climate change to suggest they want to take away beef and replace it with worms. Then it morphed into Tucker Carlson, and 4Chan, and then the only racist remark came from another European politician saying something like "I don't want to be eating bugs like peasants in Vietnam." That was about the only racist thing actually mentioned. The rest of the program they talked about the Great Reset and the NWO, and how the one speaker grew up eating silk worms (Of course), and the only reason people don't like the idea of eating bugs is because it's been ingrained in our heads since Christopher Columbus's era and every generation reinforces it. So yeah...bunch of clickbait bullshit. Oh yeah, and the black NPR host talks the whole time about it being disgusting which kind of made the whole "not eating bugs is racist" premise funny.

Whoever ends up winning the Primary for the GOP, they should bring Tulsi in to try and lure moderate voters.

Ever since Obama got that sick burn on Romney (paraphrasing: “the 80s called & they want their foreign policy back”); Leftists simply label anyone right of Castro as a Russian plant.

What are your thoughts about a potential Trump and RFK Jr ticket?

Horrible. If both parties gave a shit about what’s best for America, the Republican Party would kick Trump out preventing him from running based on all his shenanigans (alleged & proven) and the Dem Party would tell Biden he IS stepping down due to health issues. Anyone w/ half a brain knows either of these globs of shit are horrible for the country.

I prefer moderate leaders and humans in general.

Leftists =/= liberals btw. The only Leftist representation in the Dem party primaries with a strong showing was Bernie and he got ratfucked.

Dems deserve every bit of criticism they get for literally representing the corporate class just they do it in a way that isn't directly inflammatory to minority groups.

Tim Scott seems like a decent man that has conservative values and has an ounce of charisma.

Except they won't because they are not currently a moderate party. They are the party of Trump for as long as he will have them.

Sad but true. I am moderate that has gone both ways in voting. I cannot support the Dems due to the extreme left that the current admin vehemently supports and I don’t relate to the far right either. I’m screwed.

Correct. Like many Americans it’s easy to get distracted by the loons on each extreme end of their respective party. Any time there seems to be legitimate concern for the economy or war, we are distracted by culture war stuff pushed by Gaetz/MTG/Boebert or pushed from The Squad. That HS bickering and name calling gets all the clicks & attention. Meanwhile, another bank fails or another forever war is double downed on.

Yes. Doug Burgum or Glenn Youngkin would be great too. We don’t want to win though. We want to put a proven toxic ego back on the stage.

Had GOP rallied around a moderate they’d dominate. Especially now with the far left lunacy.

Even a moderate would get the full barrage of liberal attacks. Remember when Mitt Romney had this attack

I've said it before, politicians should not be allowed to run for re-election after 70. Stay home, spend time with your kids and grandkids.

Agree with the idea, but Fetterman still can’t put a good sentence together from his and the media/campaign lied about it to PA voters.

I have a really hard time coming around on the idea that the crime bill guy and former DA are anything but opportunistic centrists.

They seem like actual normal human beings. Doug Burgum has the look of a classic super villain so he's got my support.

Gavin Newsome vs Doug Burgum would be the ultimate comic book villain battle.

Oh, no doubt. Even a hard democrat would get mobbed by the far left. 🤣
