America’s Coffee? Owner of Popular Black
Rifle Coffee Calls Some Customers “Racists”
and “The Worst of American Society;”
“I Hate” Them

Original Article

Posted By: DCGIRL, 7/18/2021 7:14:22 AM

The founder of Black Rifle Coffee, the ‘America first’ alternative coffee company that received an endorsement from Trump in 2017 and sponsors conservative media outlets like The Daily Wire and BlazeTV, had extremely harsh words for some of his customer base in a recent interview, calling them “such a repugnant group of people,” among other things.

Comments:

Well, we all know now how the owner of the Black Rifle Coffee feels about some his customers. If he was a smart business man, he would not have gotten political. He should ask Coke how they are doing.

This is the same bunch of cowards that ran from Kyle Rittenhouse and defending him like antifa running from real Americans that push back. Glad I only tried their brand once.

Let him sell his coffee to the left. Maybe he’s suffering from PTSD because he just killed his brand.

The article states that the NYT reporter asked BRC if they are going to make a BLM coffee, I went to their website and they Do Not have it. I subscribe to their coffee club and get auto delivery on their coffee. It would be a shame if they did the BLM crap because I'd have to get rid of my coffee, but I'm sure I can find another brand that isn't bitter.

Isn't it racist to call your coffee black and violent to include the dreaded rifle in your branding? Sic 'em, cancel culture! Duplicitous people just can't help outing themselves. Everybody wants to be a part of the go along, git along club. The GAGACs.

I get my coffee from Grounds and Hounds. They use a portion of their profits to support shelter animals. The coffee is high quality and the Morning blend I buy is quite delicious. All dogs Matter.

I liked it much better when people ran a business to make money by selling products that other people wanted to buy, and they hired people who would be good workers to make or sell that product. I liked it better when actors and actresses worked on their skills, and cared about having lots of fans that wanted to see their work. I liked it better when politicians were more concerned about hanging onto their voters than their payola. I want the old America back again!

We are seeing the marriage of corporate America with the political party in power. This ungodly alliance is how fascism begins. Not being a coffee drinker, I have no dog in this hunt, but as a bystander it is very disturbing to see corporations run to the dark side and leave loyal customers no other choice but to boycott their brand. You have to be extremely ignorant to alienate the very people who made your brand for you. These weaselly little soy boys have killed the goose that laid the golden egg. How stupid is that? The Starbucks crowd will not suddenly flock to them.

When things like this happen, I always suspect some blackmail going on in the background. Perhaps they and their families have been threatened - Antifa and BLM are certainly capable of doing that.

Remember the Dixie Chicks? They certainly tanked when they criticized President Bush when performing overseas. Also, wasn't there a company that sold pick pocket proof jackets that used to advertise extensively on Fox News? The owner dumped on his customers making fun of them and I'm thinking he's no longer in business. I could be wrong though, but I haven't seen any commercials for that product in a long time.

Go to the website and look at their coffee choices. It sure doesn't look like they offer BLM coffee. Did the Gateway Pundit "mock up" this bag for their article? If so, I think they could be in trouble.

The really disappointing aspect of the owner's comments are his concession of Leftist, labeling and bigotry. He doesn't summarize, restate or recount a single, solitary statement or action by anyone, anywhere, at any time that is "racist". What he does do is concede the government/media/Leftist designation of a group as "racist" because those institutions say it is. You just can't get much dumber, or un-American, than that.

You have to be savvy to succeed in business and maintain but it's an easy task to be dumb, sound dumb and do what this dweeb just did. He didn't sell out to the NYT he fell into a trap and blew himself away with his own 'black rifle'. Like Starbucks coffee I never tried it but sure won't do it now. Adios sucker you just killed yourself and your brand you so sounded like the 'hipster' that you yourself detests.

Well when all you do is listen to Fox News and the Gateway pundit and your driven by outrage porn and not facts, you make some bad decisions along the way. This is just one example of how people on the right get fooled everyday with their Tribal bs. This guy was smart enough to know what buttons to push so the Fox News/ Gateway Pundit crowd would buy their coffee, t- shirts and promote the hell out of them simply because he convinced you that he was playing for “your team”. Now when the guy reveals himself for who he always was, the same people won’t admit they were suckers and tribal idiots want to make the guy out to be a traitor? No way……you don’t get off that easy with me. You made your coffe………Now drink it!

First: I have never drank coffee, so this is a theoretical thing for me. But, trying to understand exactly WHO he wants to "flush", I cannot tell. He describes NO person, NO political views. The reporter suggests "BLM coffee" and I think the photo is pure photo-shop, not real. I am not defending this company, but I do question what the article even really says. Sounds like a leftist article seeking to separate Black Rifle Coffee from it's customers. Find me a statement where this owner says something definitive about WHO he wants to get rid of, and I can be convinced. At this point....I see a very muddled mess, and think this may be Fake News.

People: READ THE ARTICLE!!! ALL OF IT!!! Sorry, but Shame on Andy Ngo for posting such a misleading pull-quote. It’s a NYT slimy hit-piece, trying to shame/influence/push BRCC & subscribers to ‘Get Woke’ and “separate themselves” from random people who’ve purchased BRCC merch, and ultimately kill the brand. If you do read it, you’ll learn a lot more great stuff about BRCC than you see in their vids. The NYT author couldn’t hide the truth, but merely insinuates bad motives. Read carefully!! (FTR: I’m a non-subscriber, laugh at their vids, LOVE their un-swerving commitment to veterans). Wake up and stop being misled by click-bait!!!

#2, PLEASE do not give up on all of us! Your voice is invaluable. We need you. Please hang on. Stay with us here. In these days --and there have been times like this many times throughout history-- a minority of truth seekers and patriots have saved the world from tyranny. I treasure our fellow Ldotters, and those who are lovers of liberty and our Constitutional Republic, mars and scars and all, working together toward a "more perfect union." We need to remember, when our spirits flag, that there have been many times like when Thomas Paine had to rouse the spirits of the patriots, and our forefathers who struggled against massive odds to "secure our liberty." There's nothing uglier than the divisive and hostile poison of hatred and vengeance being injected into our society by the Leftist Dems, clearly intentionally and aimed at destroying the United States of America. Voices of reason must be heard, and for me that includes reading the articles wisely chosen at this site and the sage comments of our fellow Ldotters. We all need to hang on and encourage one another, support conservative sites, writers and those who fight politically for us and with us.

I just placed my 2nd order for their coffee a couple of days ago. Like their coffee too. Thought I was doing a good thing my no longer buying Starbucks. Will have to think about this now. By the way, I gave up buying coke products a couple of months ago. Switched to Dr. Pepper. For 2 weeks it's been hard to find Dr. Pepper on the shelves at the stores I shop. The shelves are full of Coke products I won't purchase. Finally their was Dr. Pepper on the shelves this week. I 'm wondering if I'm not the only one in my area not buying Coke products.

#37 & 38 I agree!! There is a lot of overreaction to this article. I've never had Black Rifle coffee either. But, I'm sorry, I do agree with some of what this guy says. Sometimes when I read the racist and threatening comments on conservative sites, I cringe. Those are comments that people on the left love to reference and make all conservatives look bad. The article did not say that he responded to the interviewer with support for BLM. BTW, I do believe Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self defense.

I've watched these cretins build their brand off the backs of veterans and land-loving Americans, and now in their lust to be the "next Starbucks" they sell their souls to the Devil. They needed to remain a niche company with organic growth, which was working well for them. Perhaps they haven't realized it, but they'll HAVE to change their name, because it will NOT be marketable with either "black" or "rifle" in it and damn sure not "black rifle" together. These guys are bums.

The “public health” response to COVID has been awful. Ever since cases first appeared in Wuhan, the reaction has been marked by mistakes, reversals, outright lying and even political manipulation. We need a thorough accounting. And in a fast-moving situation with imperfect information, mistakes are inevitable and hence forgivable. Nobody’s perfect. But lies and political manipulation are different. Those are a betrayal of trust, and they’re especially serious because trust is the public-health community’s greatest asset. The record here has been terrible, and we need investigation and accountability.

The number of so-called breakthrough COVID-19 cases is not a cause for concern, a top U.S. medical official said Friday. “I think the important thing is to look at what the denominator of vaccinated people is, because it is very likely—and what we’re hearing at least indirectly, and we’re certainly going to be confirming that—that that number of individuals who were breakthrough infections is not at all incompatible with a 90-plus percent vaccine efficacy. So, I don’t think that there needs to be concern about any shift or change in the efficacy of the vaccine,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told reporters

And I subsequently dedicated my career as a lawyer to helping to sue rogue cops, close prisons and reform the criminal justice system. (Snip) How do we explain Nichols’ horrific killing, allegedly at the hands of police who looked like him?

Joe Biden’s expected re-election bid will thrust his wife, Jill Biden, further into the public eye, as the White House deploys the self-described introvert to help win over women. What little polling exists in regard to the first lady, who is 71, suggests she’s unknown to many Americans, even after two years at the side of the world’s most powerful person. But within the White House she is understood to be the president’s closest and most protective confidante. “She is his gut check on everything,” said Michael LaRosa, former press secretary to the first lady and special assistant to the

Former President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama ramped up their calls for police reform following the release of the video showing the “vicious” beating of Tyre Nichols. “The vicious, unjustified beating of Tyre Nichols and his ultimate death at the hands of five Memphis police officers is just the latest, painful reminder of how far America still has to go in fixing how we police our streets,” they tweeted Saturday. They said responsibility falls on all people to “mobilize” to create change and included a link to a webpage for the Obama Foundation

A racist in a tablecloth suit named Dr. Umar Johnson decreed on The Breakfast Club radio show recently that the American government must carve out a full quarter of all economic activity — in perpetuity. “We get a 25% cut… every time America makes a dollar.” That would amount to approximately six trillion dollars annually. He makes sure to emphasize this is a forever arrangement. [Video] Specifically, he wants cash for the “psychological damages” wrought by slavery. Nearly everything, apparently, counts as “psychological damage” to Dr. Johnson.

The US is in the midst of a catastrophic fentanyl epidemic that is causing an eye-watering number of deaths and tearing the fabric of American society apart. The ultra-strong opioid being cut with virtually every street drug in the country killed a record 75,000 Americans in 2021, the equivalent of 1,500 lives lost every week.  Fentanyl - which is 100 times more potent than morphine - started off as a cheap and potent alternative to heroin and was used by only the most hardcore drug addicts in the US, who mainly injected it or smoked it through a pipe. But its cheap manufacturing costs and potency have made it the go-to cutting agent

The release of the videos from the lethal arrest of Tyre Nichols, 29, is shocking for its lack of professional tactics and procedures. This looks like adrenaline-filled rage … from the officers. At certain points, it is the suspect who sounds to be trying to de-escalate the situation. It is unfortunately not unique. In physical encounters, officers can escalate violence and lose control with lethal consequences. The footage helps establish a number of legal points. The force is clearly and undeniably excessive. It was a complete breakdown of training and supervision. It is hard to look at this tape objectively and analytically given the emotional impact of the scene. Yet

Jews eat kosher, Muslims have halal, Hindus eschew meat, and many Christians fast during Lent. So naturally, the fastest-growing religion today — earth and climate worship — is developing its own faith-based dietary restrictions. “Climatarians” (also called “reducitarians” or “climavores”) are people who make their food choices based on how what they eat will impact the earth, with the aim of reducing their carbon “foodprint.” The Earthist version of original sin is that, simply by living, people commit climate sin every time they eat, breathe, travel, and heat or cool their homes. Naturally, the younger generations are the most pious Earthists,

When I was 7, America elected a fellow named John Kennedy president. He had been a senator and he was witty.(snip)Looking back as an adult, I realize he was not joking. He was bragging. But he was so charming that I secretly have wished for a Republican John Kennedy. Ronald Reagan came close. Donald Trump too. Maybe the John Kennedy we need is the senator by that very name from Louisiana. He uses humor and common sense to make his point and his points are always good ones.(snip)He was a Louisiana Democrat until he (snip)converted to Republican but skipped the testicle-removal ceremony.

Project Veritas’ latest undercover sting may have been its most insane yet. ... James O’Keefe, confronts a man named Jordon Trishton Walker after a secretly-recorded admission that Pfizer is mutating COVID-19 to create vaccines.... Now, after days of silence, Pfizer has finally responded. In a lengthy statement, the pharmaceutical company ... claims it does not perform gain-of-function research. There’s a lot of doublespeak and hiding behind language there ... it goes on to admit that in a “limited number of cases,” the company engineers the COVID-19 virus to “enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells.” That seems like it requires a lot more explanation...
