Imagine that you and I have ten dollars each.

However, I insist that I have nothing and that you have twenty dollars, so you must give me ten dollars to make things equal.

I then get the government to force you to do that.

That is the the approach of The Left.

The tests are not repeatable and accurate the way IQ tests are.
The tests have been politicized in a way the creators never intended and say it cannot be.
There’s bias in how the results are interpreted, a no-win situation that no matter what you do, you need training.
And there’s no evidence the training does what they think it does, and some evidence it is counter-productive.

‘Racism By Us” training is more accurate.

They are that stupid. I bet they pay various race pimp organizations for the Philly incident, which was probably a setup.

And not once will disproportionate black crime be mentioned

Only Whitey will be blamed. Blacks have nothing to do with why they are viewed with suspicion and “ profiled”

I’d love it if 8000 stores has zero sales on the 29th.

“Starbucks closing 8,000 US stores on May 29 to conduct ‘racial bias training’”

One day, or part of one day, is not enough time. Close the stores for a full month. Just to be sure.

Then determine the risks of reopening. With their admittedly low human relations scores, why reopen and take a chance of hurting still more people?

Thought the indoctrination day was on the 28th.

I guess Starbucks stores will no longer require codes or keys to get into their bathrooms either. Come one, come all!

If they want to put their money where their mouths are, they should open their stores to all the homeless and indigent and let them use their facilities and bathrooms whenever they want to. For that matter, why not free coffee for them? After all, if they’re awake from the caffeine, they won’t be sleeping in a crumpled, drug addled heap in front of the Starbucks.

Full disclosure, I haven’t been to Starbucks in ages since I discovered their coffee did a good job of removing rust from my tools (OK, just kiddin”).

However, I may force myself to go to Starbucks. When they ask what my name is I just say Whitey, or Blackie or whatever. Then just stand back and watch their faces when they call my name.

They’ll probably close another day for more sensitivity training.
