apparently @inkcoffee has received the community's feedback on this horrible sign.
Good. Hopefully Denver keeps sending the message and folks support the nearby Black-owned Ethopian @WhittierCafe instead!

Get em! And let them know that tweet does not make up for that poor ass decision. They should some money to Black women and maybe we’ll see...

Also! As a Denverite, I’m encouraging ppl to go to Whittier Cafe instead. It is local, Black owned, woman owned, & fucking phenomenal. 25th & Gilpin so not too far from ink!
-
Thank you, good to know.
-
Of course! According to FB there’s a fairly new one called Girls Inc, too, that I haven’t tried yet. Also Prodigy Coffee at 40th & Colorado, which is awesome.
-
Prodigy is a nonprofit started by a white couple & I struggle with the paternalism. They are at least trying to do good though, only employ kids from the neighborhood.
-
That’s awesome, still a small business employing kids within the neighborhood. I’ll will take not of all of these. Thank you.
-
Of course! Let me know how Girls Inc is, I’m going to have to seek it out as well. Hadn’t heard of it until this morning.pic.twitter.com/cfRU7kYbmJ

They’ve taken it down, but I think it’s even more important to tell them what we think about their horrendous nonpology.
