Chocolate Gone Woke? African Cocoa Bean Plantation Criticized for Only Staffing Black Laborers

ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST - In what critics are calling the latest example of woke Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) hiring, an African cocoa bean plantation in Abidjan has come under fire after it was revealed that it exclusively staffs black laborers. The plantation in question, which has been in operation for decades, insists that its staffing demographics are a reflection of the local population and available workforce. Regardless, the plantation’s lack of white laborers has caused them to receive backlash for what some people are calling “reverse discrimination.”

“This is just yet another example of this ‘woke’ mentality infiltrating the workforce,” said Todd Masters, a 35 year old man from rural Ohio who has been infuriated about this cocoa bean plantation’s staffing policies ever since he found out about it on Facebook a little over two days ago.

“Leftists will insist that this makes things more diverse, but it’s actually having the opposite effect if you’re denying every other race this position just so one group of people can get it. If I wanted to move to Ghana or whatever and pick beans, then I should be able to regardless of my race. The hiring process should be based on merit, not race. I mean, that’s what equality is all about, right?”

President Donald Trump, who found out about the controversy through Twitter, has vowed to shutdown the cocoa bean plantation, calling it “illegal” and “un-American.” However, after he found out that the Ivory Coast wasn’t in America, he claimed that he would just place tariffs on the entire country instead.

Corleone: Hot Chocolate

Designer's Reflection: Hot Chocolate

Obtained: Casual Drinks workshop

Rarity: SR

Attribute: Blue/Cool

Awakened Suit: Dark Chocolate

Story - transcripts from Designer's Reflection

Chapter 1 - Hot Chocolate

Chapter 2 - Old Tales of Rosset

Chapter 3 - Between New and Old

Story - summarized

When Corleone returns from a mission, he finds a mug of hot chocolate on his desk. But he doesn't drink it normally. He asks his old friend Lianne if she left it for him, but she didn't. But she does remind Corleone of when they were younger, before they joined the Justiciars.

They fought in the Apple Independence War. At the time, Pigeon kept sending goods, like cocoa beans, to Apple even when the people couldn't afford the imports. Sick of the oppression, Corleone led an ambush at the Intercontinental Train Station and destroyed the freight of cocoa beans. He almost killed the Pigeon commander there - Zoey appeared and stopped him.

Back in the present, Yeeso barges into the room. He's having trouble finishing a weapons report, and he needs Corleone's help. In return, Yeeso had made a gourmet hot chocolate for him. To Corleone's surprise, the drink tastes great.

Together, they work until the report is complete. As they bring it to Zoey, they all prepare for a new mission to the Intercontinental Train Station.

Connections

-Yeeso and Corleone were in another drink Reflection together: Iced Coke. Yeeso stole a power-up from Corleone during a game tournament, and he had to face him in training afterward. Yeeso lost and gave Corleone the rest of his gourmet soda.

-Other soldiers that fought in the Apple Independence War were Loen (he recounts his days on the battlefield in Gleaming Vines) and his cousin (and Vermillion's sister) Snownight White (Loen shares her story in Snownight Hawk).

Fun Facts

-Cocoa beans grow best in warm, humid climates, close to the equator. So unless Pigeon's lands extend far enough to the tropics, they would've had to import cocoa beans themselves before shipping them to Apple, inflating the price of the cocoa.

-This is Corleone's only suit with a Reflection. His other suits are the benefit suit Misty Adversity, the Memory Collection suit Reclamation Project, and the Guild suits Black Hound Masquerade and Silver Fang Masquerade.

All about carob! 🌲🫘

🟤 The carob tree, a flowering evergreen native to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, grows up to 50 feet tall and produces edible legume fruit pods.

🍫 Carob is typically used as a chocolate substitute in cooking using carob powder/flour, which is made from the dried, roasted, and finely ground carob pods. Compared to chocolate, carob is naturally sweet, does not have any caffeine content, is around 1/3 of the calories, is higher in calcium, is cholesterol free, and has zero fat. Carob on its own is also high in antioxidant content and fiber. Great for people on caffeine-free diets and safe for children! And while not a nutritional choice for animals, it's safe for both dogs and cats to accidentally or moderately eat compared to chocolate.

🚢 Carob requires minimal amounts of rain, is not very labor intensive, does not require post-harvest fermentation, and does not have any issues with child labor human rights violations (unlike chocolate). Per year, 125kg can be harvested from a mature carob tree vs 1.5kg cocoa beans from a mature cocoa tree. We'll discuss more differences between these two in additional posts that cover taste, sustainability, and human rights. (Be sure to follow us)

❓ Did you know? In days gone by, jewelers used the uniform weight of the seeds of the carob tree (200mg) to measure the weight of gold and gems, and called it a "carat." The "carat" takes its name from the Greek word for a carob seed, keration, via the Arabic word, qīrāṭ.

🤔 But what does it taste like? It has its own unique flavor but can be described as tasting like sweetened dark chocolate. It might be a required taste or you might love it the first time you try it!

Have you tasted carob yet? Do you use it in baking often? 🥰

I love that the Mayans were in ways a chocolate based society, like they were the closest we have gotten to a sweet utopian society!💜
