Black men arrested for just sitting at Starbucks

[denel]

Starbucks isn't a charity so I'm sure it's coffee price is going to be more than if you buy it locally in Ethiopia. Plus since they sell tons of it a year worldwide they can't give everybody a cup from some specific village. They have to blend it from multiple sources in Ethiopia.

They do use Guji, Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Hara

Charity is not the word; day light robbery is the correct phrase. Sorry, no way i will support such a rip off. No, Ethiopia has coffee board. All exports go through them; they pre-mix all to ensure various regional blends but you have to go to local regions/villages for the best not from any board channel.
Trust me, I have travelled across Ethiopia.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it was that one specific place you bought it from more than once.

I find Starbucks Coffee to be overly bitter.

When on the go, I'm a Dunkin Donuts and Wawa coffee guy

Otherwise, I'm a single serve Keurig machine user.

Thanks. And I hope so too but lately I've been keeping away from cafiene in general. Stopped drinking soda a long time ago. I've been feeling a lot better since than I can tell you that much.

Yes, it's as natural as white americans' being wary and suspicious of the muslims. Really sad that the minorities are perfectly fine with the white americans being racist against them. They must love the white men so much.


If i had a dollar for every time a jew killed an innocent palestinian, I will probably be richer than netanhyu already.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!..........The way a lot of Muslims have been behaving in the West is absolutely disgusting. They too need to be sent back to where they came from if they can't function in civilised Western society. I have absolute contempt for them too. You can't KEEP blaming racism and White people if your IQ is too low to be successful in Western society.

Well it is a racist country, so nothing new there.

I stopped drinking coffee. Started doing weird things to my stomach.

Shame. I really used to enjoy it. I'm hoping it was only that one place I bought it from more than once.

Can't live without it.

Cant stand starbucks coffee; over priced and over roasted.

Agree, that's why we rugged guys like Dunkins better. When Starbucks first came out, it was considered the "Yuppie" coffee. It still is even if yuppie is a thing of the past.

Come to the continent for the best coffee - Rwanda

Lived in Burundi for 2 years and traveled to the Rwandan mountains and seen the spring fountain they claim is the source of the Nile. Ever been there?

Ethiopia,

Born in Addis Ababa.

Kivu (DRC), Tanzania, Kenya or even Malawi.

Safari in Kenya was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Seeing mount Kilimanjaro and I thought Nairobi was one of the most beautiful cities in Africa.

I know, I know. blacks are allowed to do ANYTHING they want. They are a protected, privileged class. When you try to stop them from robbing, committing a crime, raping or being violent towards you, you automatically become a racist...........Even with affirmative action and free handouts, it's still not enough to appease or stop them from committing crimes. Isn't life just fair?......

Hey, the main issue is you have a simpler understanding of whats at hand. I even feel what you express sometimes. But even with this kind of view, its truth, but its not the whole truth. Things are not that simple or direct anymore.You're just spewing out rhetoric, but in reality oyu cant defend this view in public in the UK. its a closet opinion because you might not be a racist to say this, but you at least have a bias, or misunderstanding. You're a racist because of how you said what you said, not just for saying something. If you can be this crude, then yes, maybe the racist tag is for you. LOL. Its all good, I just believe everyone in 2018 should be treated with a reasonable level of dignity and respect.
Actually every part of your comment is the opposite of the truth. I'm soon gonna move off this topic fyi.This stuff is getting tired.

What the manager and police did is totally logical. Unfortunately, the management seems to be buckling under pressure due to reverse racism.

Yes,reverse racism is sort of compensation for the owed reparations.

Kenya is beautiful but I prefer Tanzania any day; I have travelled in lived in both places. Unfortunately no, Burundi I did not go very unsafe. Rwanda is amazingly beautiful. I have Rwandan coffee - also very very good.

Also Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania not in Kenya; though it is visible from Kenya side. I have climbed Kilimanjaro long time back. Kenyans are wrong to put Kilimanjaro on their travel brochures and many get the impression it is in Kenya.

That reminds me, if you are in the Moshi area, you will find super coffee beans locally grown.

Cuban serrano coffee for the coffee lovers.

Haha, that's very true, the Kenyan's treat Kilimanjaro as if it's almost exclusively theirs, but it is right at the border so they do take advantage of it. I never climbed it, just got a great look at it as close as we could get to it. It's magnificent.

I was in Burundi way back in 1972. It was a bit dangerous even then like you said, but we were in a UN compound so it wasn't too bad. Favorite memories was visiting the beach of Lake Tanganyika and getting very close to the hippos. Great memories. Another great memory when we were in Zaire was listening to the news every night and waiting to hear the official presidential greeting: Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga lol I loved that. We were students at the American school there, it was called TASOK which was just the acronyms for The American School Of Kinshasa. A great place, country and experience. I loved that entire area.

I'd love to visit Nigeria and South Africa, especially take the boat out right between Deer Island and Geyser Rock. Been a destination of mine for many years, now.

@Hamartia Antidote check out this conversation between these F-15E Strike Eagle pilots and the boom operator of the KC-10 refueler. We were talking about Dunkins/Starbucks rivalry lol.

Absolutely, have family across Tanzania and Kenya as well. Also in Botswana. If you ever want to visit; email me.

Zaire.... man, you went when it was ok; i went thru it 2x from Ndola via Lumumbashi to Northern Province. aoooch; terrible ... just terrible. A friend went to Lumbumbashi and had horror stories after 2 weeks of stay there - it is a brutal place.
