Apparently enjoying and trying out different lattes or “coffee concoctions” is a “white thing” at least according to one asinine editor at The Root. Clearly, we had time today, so we’re going to go ahead and take him to task for managing to turn a simple Pumpkin Spice Latte into a “disgusting white thing”.
“No fucking way. This is the shit people are falling over themselves for in White America?” I gave it like five minutes—because I do it for my culture—and took another sip of the poisonous tasting bullshit for which I paid $4.95…’
In case it couldn’t get any worse, uh, it does. The writer, identified as Panama Jackson — literally defines his jack-ass-ness in an article or less reiterating that people suddenly make everything about someone’s skin color. Why, on earth, does liking a Pumpkin Spice Latte have to be a white thing?
We’d like to point out that it has been common knowledge for years that Pumpkin Spice Lattes, uh, don’t actually taste like pumpkin (plot twist: were also an entirely black staff and news organization.). It’s interesting that Jackson claimed that “I tried it for the culture”, uh, when in fact plenty of black people have tried it before — and either liked it or not — but didn’t feel the need to make a coffee excursion about someone’s race.
