What exactly did they say?
From an article: https://www.roguereview.net/black-rifle-coffee-wants-to-distance-itself-from-kyle-rittenhouse-and-proud-boy-ish-customers/
Shortly after his release, a photo with Rittenhouse wearing a Black Rifle Coffee shirt was posted to Twitter by Elijah Schaffer...But shortly after the tweet, Black Rifle petitioned Elijah Schaffer to delete the photo, according to the NYT. Schaffer eventually did. Once the tweet was deleted, a company executive released a video explaining, “we’re not in the business of profiting from tragedy.”
“It’s such a repugnant group of people … It’s like the worst of American society, and I got to flush the toilet of some of those people that kind of hijacked portions of the brand.”
"The racism [expletive] really pisses me off … I hate racist, Proud Boy-ish people. Like, I’ll pay them to leave my customer base. I would gladly chop all of those people out of my [expletive] customer database and pay them to get the [expletive] out.”
He should sue them first!
Whenever I am in America I am always shocked at the strength of casual racism I run into with friends and acquaintances. I know for a fact that they are not bad or evil people but they make it clear that they don't like, in fact mostly hate, people who are not "white" as defined by them. This doesn't mean "black" by the way it means just about anyone who is not genetically anglo-saxon and USA-born. (Somehow I get a pass for being English.) Purely because of people's skin colour and origin, my friends actively hate them and if they could find some way to get rid of them then they would.
Kind of ironic considering so many folk in the US claim to have close "Italian" ancestry because a lot of modern Italians would be sufficiently dark-skinned to be included in the hate zone.
There's a difference between honestly being a patriot who loves your country, and being a deep-dyed racist who would make Hitler blush. I'm guessing this is the kind of people Schaffer was talking about. I'll still be drinking Black Rifle.
What's even more disturbing than "deep-dyed racists" to me is the number of people that know the crime statistics and gross overrepresentation of certain (((people))) in media, government, judicial system, etc, but manufacturer excuses and blame others for those statistics.
Enjoy your morning cup of hebrew grift.
Dude, no one believes this liberal fiction. Let me put it in terms you’d understand- fuck off, cunt
Take your judgments of Americans and shove them up your arse.
We threw off the British oppressors and created the 1st modern democracy, then added actual class mobility. Brits still slaver after their monstrous royals, even today.
Race problems? Inequities? Sure. The residue left over from the slavery that the Brits introduced to N America (while colonizing it) still stings, but it seems nobody wants to leave....Can't be THAT bad.
Thanks for all the advice, though. And congratulations RE your preferred brand of coffee. It appears that you'll have plenty available for yourself. I hope you choke on it.
Here's an idea. Don't come to America anymore since you only have racist friends here. Problem solved!
Surprised by the aggressive and irrational comments. Apart from 101flyingpig thank you. I have nothing but respect for America and its people and their opinions on race are for them alone to decide. Just giving my thoughts on what the coffee guy meant.
You will be pleased to know I will not be setting foot on your hallowed soil anytime soon because it is vaxxexcd-only allowed in. Not seen my family for 2 years now and it hurts.
Then you must have racist family and acquaintances. I do not. I do not see the rampant racism in America that you describe. I was at our Elementary school's Thanksgiving feast. It was hard to recognize family groups because so many were "mixed". Many were not. Both are beautiful. It was a wonderful hodgepodge of ethnic groups and races.
