I wonder if I'll have to change the way I order my coffee. I usually ask for a 'black coffee.' Does this new racial discourse mean I now order a Grande Negro, or should I order a Colored Grande, or should that be a African American Grande?

*Bucks is getting sleazier all the time. I hate when the barista picks up a coffee-cup and touches the rim of the cup with her greasy fingers. It's disgusting and half the time the coffee is overcooked and burnt into syrup.

I am visualizing the McDonald’s video where Laqueisha threatened to pull a ‘fiddy’ out of her purse because she was brought an ice cream instead of french fries.

That’s what I was thinking.Let them start and then you can also bring out the fact that half the babies-black-in New York are aborted.The owner doesn’t like prolifers and told us to stay out.

“Two all beef paddies...”

Only available on March 17? Or maybe the wagon is stationed right outside the door ready to haul Q’wnisha to booking?

I am sorry to hear that. MacDonald’s coffee alone, here anyway, beats Starbuck’s bitter black fluid, as in no contest, and I have always liked their beef and their bread buns.

I thought that Starbucks was a “privileged white girl” meme

"My Starbucks barista told me the only reason oil prices were going down because it is black and must be refined before it becomes of any use."

Good thing that little black kid in the "That's Racist!" .gif wasn't there!

I’m poor but would have refused to disgrace myself like that.

The McD franchises here didn’t participate in the promotion, fortunately. No real ‘gimmedat’ demographics, either.

That was nice. I hope somebody captured the moment on the cell phone. The children will never forget it. That is the best story of that campaign I have heard so far.
The McD campaign would have worked if they had focused on children or families by any definition. Birthdays would have worked for anybody if you had the subtle option of not doing it then and there.

Starbux has a lot to lose if they screw this up.
They have figured out how to sell a Corolla at a Lexus price year after year after year.
That is genius marketing.

On a similar thread yesterday, someonecsaud that they’d actually been admonished for ordering a “Black coffee” and asked to order “creamless” ones in the future.

No disgrace involved. Thanks for your concern, though.

Happy + Dance = HappyDance. Nothing disgraceful about it at all.
