>"The path to an IPO is to purge Black and Brown people from Coinbase ... this is very unbecoming of a federal contractor"

Do normal people actually believe stuff like this???

Normal as in average? No, that leans pretty far left. It's not particularly unusual to see though. My theory is that there is a very loud minority of people online that believe things like that (or are willing to exaggerate to that degree).

Extremists abound on the internet.

Depends on where you're from. US appears to be quite a bit more embracing of that viewpoint than people from other countries who aren't so well tuned to US societal sensitivities (which can be very difficult to navigate).
