I had no idea that’s where the name comes from. Knowing it now I feel like reclaiming it somehow. It’s a great drink and having one named after you is cool af. I wonder if there is a way to decouple it from its colonialist bs
i don’t think there’s a great way to decouple it from the colonialist origins, given the reason the drink is named lumumba is because it is ‘chocolate with a shot (of rum)’ and you know…Lumumba was an African who was shot to death…but who knows maybe he’s looking on from the great beyond and going "yeah i would’ve named the drink that myself. probably would be better to name something else after him that isn’t based in racism
