Black people dont drink coffee ~ Shaq

And black people rocked these?

Somebody should still jump on this, ain't no Starbucks in black communities down here in Atlanta

How about starting a black franchise fukk Starbucks. Best coffee coming from Africa anway... It's all in the marketing with them like McDonald's. Black people have already shown a proficiently to influence popular culture. Nikkaz could spark a coffee wave.

Me and no one in my immediate family drinks coffee

I thought coffee was magic the way people talked about it while I was growing up. My grandparents would drink it and so would my aunt. People constantly talking about how you shouldn't talk to them before they've had their morning coffee.

And then I tried it. All it does is make me sleepy if I brew it myself.

My sister worked at Dunkin' Donuts for a while though and I got free iced coffees and those motherfukkers kept me up for days at a time. Even though I drank those fairly regularly coffee still gets no love from me. It's just not as exciting as it was built up to be and I was drinking it to see the hype.

All that being said, Dunkin' Donuts and 7/11 seem to have that market on lock in most black communities I've seen. For people who'd rather not pay Starbucks prices and just want a simple coffee.

Black folk do in fact drink at Starbucks though. My aunt is one of those people who prefer it.

The crazy thing is that, in my opinion Dunkin Donuts has much better coffee.

Starbucks coffee tastes burnt. I only get specialty drinks from there anytime I go there. Their normal coffee is . With drip coffee at least, this happens if you use water that is initially hot before you put it in the machine instead of using cold water and letting the machine heating it up.

Dunkin donuts though has some good ass coffee

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

There's black coffee shops on the south side. Went to one just west of the University by Cottage Grove and their large cups were 3 bucks.

all the inner city starbucks in the black neighborhoods stay crowded out here.

Especially the one on 87th near the Dan Ryan.

I don't drink coffee and I don't see people who are in predominantly black areas supporting a Starbucks. That shyt is a luxury. I see good mom and pop stores and restaurants close from lack of business and they undercut the huge brick and mortar spots too. This here, this wouldn't ✈ in most spots.

I Got This Image In My Head Of Shaq Turning Down Million Dollar Business Ideas, Then Someone Comes To Him On Some "They're Like Regular Jeans Only They Have Zippers Across The Knee So You Can Detach Them And Turn Them Into Shorts" And Shaq Is Like "Where Do I Sign?"

This made my day

 

[Moose_Greyjoy]

Starbucks is expensive though......sadly it's prob too expensive for most predominantly black areas

 

[BigE214]

What kind of business logic is this?

You've gotta be kidding me
Have you been around predominantly black areas? You think they couldn't afford a 3 or 4 dollar coffee?

nikka please
They refers to people in predominantly black areas which I'm not in at the moment

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Not sure he was wrong. Of course Black folks drink coffee. But a Starbucks in a Black neighborhood? That's a gamble.

I've never seen one

 

[Bless't]

The only time I crave coffee is when I'm on vacation (1-2cups) and around the holidays...cant explain it. The caucazoids at the job be wearing out coffee makers...drinking that shyt straight black....all....day

2 cups, every weekday morning as I browse the coli at work.
