Is Starbucks racist?

“....there are no Starbucks Coffee Houses {in}

Places like Highland Park, Michigan, which is at the center of Detroit, is inhabited by a population that is 94 percent African-American. Or in Benton Harbor, Michigan, which is almost 90 percent African-American. There is not a Starbucks in either town.

There is not a Starbucks in East St. Louis, Illinois, in which 98 percent of the population is African-American. Nor is there one in Gary, Indiana, whose population is 85 percent African-American.

The recent remembrance of the march on Selma, Alabama had the president walking down the street with many people who fought for civil rights, but once again, Selma doesn’t have a Starbucks. Neither does Ferguson, Missouri.”

Nothing to do with racism.

It’s a business decision. Starbucks locates were they will make money.

And what’s interesting is, according to Google Maps there’s a Starbucks in Monroe, LA that’s just about within walking distance of the Robertson’s Duck Commander warehouse (Phil, Uncle Si, Miss Kay, etc) Isn’t that special?

I never liked Starbucks coffee, it doesn’t even taste good.
I always steer to McDonald’s if I need some coffee on the road,

It could be racism on Starbuck’s part that they don't have coffee houses in these predominantly black areas OR perhaps because they serve very BAD coffee? Around here we have Kelly's Market (Mobil Oil products) and they have coffee to quench the thirst of coffee lovers. They use Kona coffee and have various creamers including Irish cream, hazelnut, and amaretto flavors. For big coffee drinkers, you can buy a huge thermal mug and refills are $0.69 (with your Kelly's mug) 24/7/365. You can't beat the price or coffee.

Thanks GOPJ. Starbucks mgmt is kidding itself if it thinks their white lib larvae customer demographic is going to put up with fake dialogue about “white privilege” reparations screaming a-holes disrupting people’s lunches, etc, all while still being expected to pay $4 for a cup of freakin’ coffee.

weird how Starbucks does not open in black areas and yet they harp on about diversity etc.

It’s like liberals who live in their white elitist areas and preach diversity but would never go into a black area or even live there.
