STARBUCKS: "Did Everything We Could to Demonstrate Contrition","Not a time to build walls."[BOYCOTT]

WASHINGTON – Starbucks Executive Chairman Howard Schultz said the world is “questioning the moral leadership of America” and he urged the public to reject nationalism.

----

In my view, as a private citizen who travels the world, perhaps more than many of you here, there are real questions and real concerns and real doubts about the strength and conviction and moral courage of the United States of America. The Atlantic Council stands for relationship-building, trust and confidence among our allies. This is not a time for isolationism, for nationalism,” he added.

----

Schultz continued, “This is a time, as we face this crucible, for cooperation. This is not a time to build walls. This is a time to build bridges.

-------

“Our stores are not public bathrooms, but they’re used as such. In this particular case, two African-American gentlemen came in the store – like millions of other people – to sit down and have a meeting and one of them asked to go to the bathroom and we have kind of a loose policy around you should be able to use the bathroom if you buy something and it’s really the judgment of the manager. And in this particular case, she asked the gentleman: Are you a customer? And he said, no. And they go into a conversation and one thing led to another, and ***she made a terrible decision to call the police,”*** Schultz recalled.

It must really suck to be so full of white guilt

FINANCIAL TIP OF THE DAY

Sell your Starbucks stock now while it is still somewhere near the top.

If Starbucks customers had wanted to mingle with bums, hobos, and vagrants and drink their coffee around smelly pubic toilets
they wouldn’t have been coming to Starbucks to hang out in the first place.

QUERY:

How did Progressives manage to eliminate America’s population of bums. hobos, tramps, vagrants, vagabonds, derelicts,
drifters, transients, itinerants, good-for-nothings, ne’er-do-wells and regular old layabouts, idlers, loafers and slackers?

ANSWER:

They renamed them all “Homeless”.

>> “Make them clean the bathroom if they want to use it.” <<

They would need a “Steam Cleaner” to do that!

never been to SB here in L.A. Why? The parking in the urban hoods they have VALETS that kick you out after 1 hour which is stupid. They still do it today. Whenever someone makes me want to meet there, I make sure THEY buy the coffee, not me.

Plus..they removed the electrical outlets so no one can stay long.

Coffee Bean, on the other hand, they have electrical outlets for your laptops and they dont give a rip about parking for their customers, no matter how long you stay.

Not a time for "Nationalism?"

Who in the Hell does he think he is! Contrast the bigot--for he showed that he was that in opposing Indiana's religious freedom enactment-with the brave souls who built Colonial America from the ground up, and the generation of their descendants that won the Revolution to achieve our rights to Independence of action.

Who in the Hell does he think he is to effectively argue for our surrender of what his betters achieved?

That's just more elitist touchy-feely mumbo-jumbo.

You don't see Schultz building a bridge across the lake so the bums and vagrants can stroll into his gated yard to leave a deposit, do you?

That's just more elitist touchy-feely mumbo-jumbo.

I know it seems like that, unless you as I, have been fighting it for over 65 years. No, it is based upon a denial of the uniqueness of the vastly different peoples of the earth. It is based upon a deliberate pseudo-intellectual pretense that we are all interchangeable; a contrived insult to all of the distinct human heritages, served up as pretended idealism, totally at variance with all legitimate rights to build further on the distinct & unique past achievements of those who built civilizations.

It is tantamount to an effort to sterilize heritage out of existence, to substitute a "New world" order, to suppress the individual aspirations of Mankind.

You can NEVER do enough penance for the left, so you shouldn’t even try. They’ll only kick you harder.
