Way to deflect from the real issues Starbucks! Let's talk about race rather than Starbucks and other retail chains poverty wages, part time hours and no benefits for their workers. |

If anyone from ANY establishment I visit tries this crap on me, I'll ask for my money back and walk out and NEVER return.

Last time I was there, it was not busy in the drive-thru so I drove right up to the window where I was met by some person who wanted to lecture me for not stopping at the microphone stop to order. Nope. Don't need their coffee or their lectures. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. Whatever feels good to your soul, do that. |

Wouldn't you agree sir. Customer: I'd just like my coffee please Barista: O, do black lives not matter to you sir? Perhaps I should chuck and jive my way over to the machine to fix you your beverage masa |

It's good to let the low wage workers think they are changing the world, so they will keep working for peanuts. But if some bitch ass Starbuck's barista starts telling people to check their privilege, it's gonna get ugly. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 62937177 ![]() 03/17/2015 01:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fuck Starbucks. What a pansy ass way to seem like a caring, relevant force in society. If they put the US Constitution on their cups and the myriad ways it's been destroyed the past few years, I might have respect for them. A cheap marketing ploy to take advantage of the current Ferguson debacle. People are getting shot, and Starbucks is going to make money off the controversy. Look, we care. Yeah, you care about money. And people getting their $5 coffee can feel like they made a difference in the world because of their engaging discussions with another myopic, entitled idiot, without actually having to do anything to change the world at all. |

It's a divide and distract strategy at play. The American economy is sinking like a stone and no amount of phony happy talk is going to change that fact so to distract people from their declining standard of living have them fight amongst themselves by stirring up old racial hatreds so that people don't unite and kick out of power the bastards responsible for their misery. |

Now they make their employees discuss race relations to assuage their privilege. |

This father is leading a great campaign against racism, seeking to get two little racist arrested or expelled from school as they dont belong with other civilized people. |

I returned to my hometown in Idaho a few months ago. I have never seen race relations worse than in all my 54 years. I personally feel Obama has sent the race relations back 40 years or more. White people have made tremendous progress, in accepting blacks more and blacks were starting to act civilized enough to be accepted. The 1990's were actually a good time for race relations despite the Rodney King beating. Then. Obama. Here we are on the verge of civil war. Glad I live in Canada. Here, the blacks are forced to act civilized or get a beating. |
