Racists hacking their site is the "whatever" that caused them to take down their page.
Unless you're suggesting Nick had this article on the hook since March, it's a sure bet it was promoted this week to right-fringe racist whack jobs who responded by hacking the site and sending racists messages to their mailing list. The fact he's using an image of a tweet that brings slavery into the picture rather than the actual article, or even the actual tweet, also argues he's getting this from a right-fringe feed.
I'm near certain you're misreading the title of the article, which is a riff off the 1988 film, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," using the sociological term Whiteness — relating to White-centrism — in this case as it applies to coffee culture. Think Starbucks. The subtitle suggests the article is promoting black-owned coffee shops that also promote black culture.
But that's just what I'm reading out of the subtitle. I'd have a better idea what it was about if I could read the article, but I can't, because they were hacked by racists.
I've got plenty of other criticisms of the o/p, starting with the gob-smacking idea that slaves didn't have a problem with slavery. But who knows, maybe the remainder of the article I can't read would make that a minor criticism.
I also mentioned some problems with what Nick said about slavery (the egyptians).

The article itself was written in march and Nick came across a mention of it recently (I assume) and decided to blog about it.
The image of whackjobette's tweet links slavery to the article, via Arabia. There's nothing at all remarkable about her tweet itself, which begs the question of how Nick ran into it. I'm not even going to accuse him of following her feed. Cause that really would be a nasty inference. He picked it up from elsewhere.
I guarantee it wasn't being promoted by mainstream media. It's no stretch at all to assume he ran into a promotion of a right-wing whack on a ring-wing whack site. With right-wing commentary attached.
When you tried to find the article, you ended up at the notice the site had been hacked by racists and apparently assumed that the article itself was a fake article posted by those racists.
But in fact the entire site is down, not just the link to that article. And the article was a real article they posted back in March.

Eww.
