So my colleague and I were catching up after not seeing each other for a while.

She’s just accepted a new position as an administrator at the community college up the street from where I work. I wanted to welcome her to the neighborhood and her new job.

We arranged to meet at a Starbucks in between our two institutions on Capitol Hill in Seattle. We talked for maybe 30 or 40 minutes. It’s the kind of innocuous catch-up talk that two college administrators do when we’re trying to figure out what we’ve been up to since we last talked.

My awareness of the incident, as I later explained it to the police officer who took my statement, started with me realizing that my right hand was wet.

We were in a Starbucks and there was lots of liquid around. My cortical brain told me that most likely someone spilled something. But then, I heard someone behind me say something that sounded like, “f*****g n****r b***h.”

My brain needed a new explanation. I turned and realized that a young, white man in his early 20s behind me, neatly dressed with short-cropped hair with a dark-colored backpack, was directing this statement at my colleague.

As I turned to face him, he said, “That’s right, f*****g n*****r b***h” again. He walked to the door and walked out. The incident didn’t really register with me, even as he walked out.

Maybe these losers that make stuff up should concentrate on getting rap music banned if they’re concerned so deeply about that kind of language.

Disgusting. This is the silence that occurred in Mississippi and Alabama. This upscale coffe shop was most likely populated by deems and their holier than thou attitudes.

The folks that I know in north Georgia would not have sat silently and Mr. Foul mouth would have needed an ambulance

I have been on this website which first reported this arguing the same thing. A Starbucks in Seattle, and no one flipped on their smart phone camera? Inconceivable!

Dr. Hughes is thought to be better in his titled profession rather than his desire of being an important author relaying a situation. What is there to believe?

Words cannot express how much I don't believe the author of this sad, obvious attempt at "Mary Sue" adventure fiction.

Do Starbucks have video cameras?

They don't even have coffee. That crap they serve, you could use to patch stucco with.

He says he didn’t realize his hand was wet until the guy left. Then he realized the guy had spit on him. I assume spitting on him is the assault part. Before I’ll believe it I wan a lab analysis to determine if it was really spit.

Too many hate crime hoaxes have been attempted, often involving academics, for this to be granted any credibility.

A Starbucks surely has a security camera system. Let’s see some video.

I have a daughter who is a Starbucks manager.

She is Black

She is now working in an unpleasant inner city Starbucks here in the state that is the way life should be.

she has been called the N word by the street people and beggars who are frequenting her store. Most of them are white.

They are demanding, entitled and sometimes crazy and always addicted.

It reminded me of my childhood growing up in the 1950s and 1960s in an all-white community where my family endured these kinds of threats daily.

Liar

He said that status and money is how people should be judged.

His quote:

we’re in a post-racial world where what really matters is status and access to resources and power.
