Even if we do, WE DONT NEED TO BE SPENDING OUR DISPOSABLE INCOME OF LUXURY ITEMS LIKE COFFEE. I feel where he's coming from.....Blacks will do anything whites think of as trendy or popular. Smh. If we want coffee, we should be brewing it at home or buying from a black-owned restaurant.

Shaq gave black people too much credit. We're the ultimate mindless consumers


To be honest i think most consumerism is mindless when you think about it...

Well at that time.......you can't really blame him.....if he had never experienced that, then who was to say he was wrong. Plus he didn't have all the business experience to know how to research, and he just went from his gut.

In a way he was/is right........it's not necessarily part of AA culture to sit in a coffee house and listen to classical music.....that's not hate, it's just not intrinsically part of the culture. Where as you go to maybe Ethiopia, or Kenya, or even maybe Jamaica which has a lot more English influence and they drink coffee in that manner.....it's less of a race thing and more of a cultural thing.

The irony is that coffee originated from Ethiopia.

Just need to open a franchise of African American coffee houses in black communities.... :yeshrug:.

You crazy? Women cant have enough "stuff" like men cant have enough p*ssy.
Would you really open a business off the strength that women will bring you more business? In black communities? This ain't pimpin this coffee.
