So, if I'm understanding this correctly, capitalists should stop buying coffee because it is grown and harvested by people who are not capitalists? Also, what do they mean when they say created for black people by black people or the opposite (can't remember exact wording). I feel like I'm starting to understand most of the time, so that's something.

No, it has nothing to do with coffee. it's about company's like Starbucks exploiting workers under capitalism.

It's not over your head. Re-read the post - it's not abut the coffee, it's about the coffee INDUSTRY.

Attacking coffee?! This is so low. Even communists drink coffee. For shame!

The coffee bean's stimulant properties were discovered by indiginous South American tribes. Technically, that could be racist since no one is genetically further removed from sub-Saharan Africans than the South American natives. This is Yet Another intersectional conflict. Same goes for tobacco, and hot chilies. There has always been an audience for pretentious cretins; those small, yet, dedicated groups of fools who are mythophilic.
