Twitter has ruthlessly mocked Starbucks campaign for the company's new anti-racism campaign in which baristas talk to customers about race issues while serving their coffee.

as you were always meant to be — judged by lieberals.
Maybe the baristas don't appreciate being put on the front lines by corporate management.
My race? Human. Why? Are you an alien?
"I'll have a Trayvonato with an extra shot".
I don’t like coffee, & you will never see it in my house. Does that make me a racist?

If we want Starbucks ,we buy a bag or 2 when it’s a item Clearance at the Supermarket
Liberals don’t want to eliminate the unfair legal bias against blacks in the 1950s, they want to invert the structure to put whites in the lower level.
This is Starbucks worst idea since the time they sued a tiny Russian Orthodox monastery for selling a “Christmas blend” coffee. Starbucks claimed proprietary rights to the term “Christmas blend.” They lost.
Dunkin Donuts?
Ahem...
The Civil Rights movement didn’t close the income or education gaps, it just allowed the black middle class to flee to the suburbs with everyone else.
Hence, the option is to double down on the racist America theme to explain persistent inequality.
Hate their coffee and after their ‘collapse into coolness’ campaign mocking the twin towers they can go effect themselves with a mochacrappahalfnelson with a twist.
