1. Starbucks' employees demonstrate racist behavior, because American culture is racist. It's bigger than Starbucks.
2. Coffee comes from Africa. Just like everything else originating from Africa or created by African people corporate America ruins it by perpetuating the idea that coffee needs a bunch of unnecessary additions to make it taste "good."
3. There are tons of black owned cafes, coffee farms and roasting companies that are owned by African people that you can support instead of giving your money to that spot that sells you mediocre roasts that were brewed HOURS before you got there and will profile you based on your skin color.
4. If white people aren't willing to be our allies, they are declaring themselves as our enemies. There's no neutrality when it comes to fighting white supremacy.

Tell you friend to stop African appropriation of Middle Eastern culture.The earliest substantiated evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree is from the 15th century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen
