“Hey, you see those two guys who’ve been sitting over there for 2 hours and haven’t ordered anything?”

“Are they black?”

“Yes”.

“Nope, don’t see a thing”...

The 'incident' with the two black guys at Starbucks was a TOTAL SETUP. A George Soros production, COORDINATED WITH THE MEDIA FOR AN EXPLOSIVE AFTERMATH..

If two white guys did what they did, they'd not been arrested because THEY WOULD HAVE DEPARTED THE PREMISES AS THEY WERE TOLD TO DO.

Ain't no black man gonna do what whitey TELLS HIM TO DO, because this all goes back to SLAVERY DON'CHA KNOW.

Might be a good day to show up with a few friends and refuse to leave when they want to conduct their “non- discrimination” training.

May 29 is ....

Ascension of Bahá’u’lláh, End of the Middle Ages Day, International Coq Au Vin Day and the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers.

And Starbucks is closing a half day?

I’m so triggered. This is an outrage!

Yes, in order to show that you are not biased- you must let all customers- regardless of color- come and sit in your stores, taking up seats that paying customers could use, and not order anything- all day long if they so choose

If someone had told you a week ago that they could get BLM to protest SB, would you have believed them?

I’m loving this. Lefties hoisted on their own petard, burned at the stake, and served to those they tried to appease.

"God, I wish I went to Starbucks. So I could never go there again."

Didn't they have a few weeks sometime back, when they encouraged their "baristas" to engage customers in a race "dialog"? Hugely popular, as I recall.

Disgusting. Glad I never give any business to Starbucks.

I was hopeful when I heard "8,000 Starbucks stores closing..."
