This is not a joke–this is not fake news–this is real news.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday The Daily Wire <\/a>reported the following:<\/p>\n Starbucks<\/a>‘s Pumpkin Spice Latte<\/a> may be the drink of choice for the yoga pants-wearing, Ugg boot<\/a>-sporting, autumn-loving “basic” white girls of the world, but according to one feminist group. it’s also responsible for perpetuating white supremacy<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n UltraViolet, a group that claims to be “a powerful and rapidly growing community of people mobilized to fight sexism and create a more inclusive world that accurately represents all women,” though this might be the first time you’ve ever heard of it, is leading a campaign to banish the PSL, claiming the drink “funds white supremacy” and “racism in the White House<\/a>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n First of all, President Trump is not a racist–he received a number of awards for improving race relations before he became a Republican and ran for President. He literally fought city hall to allow black Americans and Jews into his resorts in Florida<\/a>. That is simply a false charge.<\/p>\n The article continues:<\/p>\n The problem here, though, is that Starbucks, like Nike<\/a> and Tiffany, has a location in Trump Tower, which means Starbucks \u2014 at at least one of its locations \u2014 pays a pittance in rent to the Trump Organization<\/a>, which owns the building. “Starbucks and Nike \u2014 both companies that seek to profit off of a progressive and inclusive brand \u2014 have stores in Trump Tower in New York City<\/a>. They have likely paid millions of dollars in rent to Trump over time \u2014 money that has given him a platform to spew hate for years,” UltraViolet claims.<\/strong><\/p>\n But aside from the fact that Trump has routinely distanced himself from white supremacists, it doesn’t even appear that the Trump Tower Starbucks is a corporate store. It’s a franchise<\/em>, which means that the franchise owners<\/a> \u2014 not Starbucks itself \u2014 pays cash to Trump Org.<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, it’s not as though feminists are well known for letting the facts get in the way of their feelings.<\/strong><\/p>\n Aside from the stupidity, why are these people wasting so much energy on hate when they have no idea of the facts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is not a joke–this is not fake news–this is real news.
