Every time I talk about how the white race is being destroyed while at work,I get fired.

Wake up, whitey. You are being assimilated.

If whites aren't superior, how come everything is designed to dumb us down?

How about a discussion as to why a profitable coffee chain such as Starbucks pays poverty wages to their workers many who are from a visible minority group. 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.

Re: Starbucks to encourage baristas to discuss race relations with customer
How about they talk about over-priced, shitty coffee instead?

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.

Who the HELL do these Corporations think they are?

I've not lost anything at that place.

Over their boundries again.

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.

Customer: Small coffee, black

Barista: Speaking of black, how about all of the racism towards black these days, it's terrible! 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.

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.

Oh relax on the Jew thing. Lots of rich white Protestant and Catholic people doing the same Obama worshippin' white guilt thing.

That's what happens when white baby boomers made money...they felt guilt because they are morons. Now they make their employees discuss race relations to assuage their privilege.

Would be interesting,

ALOT of white people are tired of racism, Alot of racist are white, and its time to start outing racist and removing them from society as they have no place in a civilized society.

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 moved to Quebec 6 years ago for work. 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.
