Schultz said that the coffee chain will open a store in what has been an epicenter of racial tension in the U.S., one month after unveiling its controversial Race Together campaign.
Starbucks baristas may not be writing Race Together on customers coffee cups anymore, but CEO Howard Schultz certainly isnt done talking about the nations touchiest topic.

The vast majority of black community members are not NOT as impressed with white liberal elites as Howard Schultz thinks they are...
This could get interesting.

Bad idea. The kids who work the counter will be the ones who take the brunt of the objections.
I’d steer clear of Ferguson.

Typical liberal elitist. Trying to address a problem, in the wrong way, with other peoples money (the stockholders of Starbucks).
These bozos need to start making such foolish gestures with the money in their own pockets. At the very least, I would call this a breach of his fiduciary responsibility to the stockholders.

Who would be underwriting the insurance on this fool idea. According to the Internet, Schultz is worth $2 billion.
He could pay some pretty steep premiums for thousands of stores before he would even begin to care about any losses. This is all about patting his enlightened self on the back, and in the public eye.
To: Red in Blue PA
Well, they have to have something to loot when the time comes..........

Schultz sounds more and more like a cheap PR whore, trying to buy political protection insurance from the left
Next time they want to make a target of some famous brand for minimum wage, environment concerns, obesity, foreign labor exploration (take your pick) he hopes they will avoid his business.
