What was useful from the comments to the campaign within the article, is that 100% showed that Obama succeeded in making the chip that blacks are carrying on their shoulder to be as big as a boulder. He will go down in history as the most destructive president in history. It will take decades to undo the harm that he has done (if it can be done).

“White Privilege” - the new expression of antisemites.

Starbucks, the Microsoft of coffee.

Started off well, then couldn’t do anything right to save their miserable lives.

LOL! I know Corey du Browa and I used to work for his boss Vivek Varma (head of Comms for Starbucks) when he did reactive PR for Microsoft. Hard for me to believe they would come up with something this stupid, but then they were all in Oprah Chai tea.

We should have fun with this.

There are many directions one could take in that regard. One is to first learn a few simple phrases in an obscure language, say Estonian. What the actual phrases are doesn't matter.

Then when the Starbucks indoctrination begins, engage them in polite conversation. In Estonian. Just repeat the few phrases you learned, over and over.

And look very concerned while you do so.

I’m thinking that a fun option would be to refuse to take the cup because it’s clearly for “Race Together” and insist that my name is “Race Bannon”

[ Nobody anyone alive today need suffer guilt for slavery or racism in which they were not a part; nor, for the same reason, blame anyone alive today. ]

Better yet, admonish them for doing nothing about the slavery that currently exists in the middle east in islamic countries

Just try and have a conversation about how racist blacks can be. Ouch.

Coffee is dark brown and black but I like cream in mine which makes it more white looking. Am I being a racist? (’

Could you imagine what would happen if Chick-Fil-a ordered their employees to talk to customers about traditional marriage?

Or the fact that almost half of all murders are committed by black men who make up about 2% of the population.

It’s the first rule of elitism. Abuse and humiliate customers with obnoxious rules about ordering language, options and silly shit, and then add the pontification as a free add-on.

I’ve had their coffee. Largely, it is brewed too strong, bitter and pretentious, mucked up with any combination of fru-fru crap. Add the fact they price that stuff like buying BMW/Mercedes accessories, and I walked away a long time ago.

When they’ve decided you STILL have to much spendable income, they raise the prices and make you stand in a long line to get insulted.

Starbuck's have always amazed me. I live in Panamá, where we know quite a lot about good coffee, and therefore the question of drinking any of Starbuck's overboiled, overhyped and overpriced slop coffee does not exist for me when I visit the States.

Now, these arrogant SJWs and their womyn-studies-major baristas purport to LECTURE customers about race (which has WHAT to do with coffee, please?) and doubtless other lefty-favoured subjects?? Someone, or some number of someones, clearly need to have their thorazine dosage raised.

With a bit of luck, this new and asinine policy will generate a tasty decline in the company's sales. Can't imagine these punks feel lucky about their future revenues.

Probably an increase in sales and much MSM handwringing!

I got a 38 special in my back pocket and a razor in my shoe

I see that you have upgraded your firearm from the traditional one.

He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a thirty two gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
