I thought about it, and I realized that it wasn't so long ago that such minor travesties and often much, much worse were things black people lived through every day.
I thought about it, and I realized that it wasn't so long ago that such minor travesties and often much, much worse were things black people lived through every day. While it was never something I ever had to worry about in my life, millions of minorities did have to worry about things like that.
That being said, I think what happened at the Starbucks in Philly doesn't pass the sniff test. Two black men went in, sat down, and apparently went unnoticed for a period of time until one got up and asked to use the restroom. When told it was only for customers, he declined the opportunity to purchase something and returned to his associate at their table. After another unspecified period of time elapsed, the manager, a woman named Holly, asked them to either purchase something or leave. They said they were waiting for someone, did not want to buy anything, and wouldn't leave. More time passed, the option was again proffered, and the double-refusal was again the response. That's when Holly called "the man."
The "screws" arrived and made the same offer as Holly, three times. And just as many times, it was refused. As they were slipping on the cuffs to take them to the "big house," the ever-elusive "friend" magically appeared. You get the picture: it was a setup. Why wouldn't the "friend" just buy a cup of Joe so they could all sit down and chant, "No justice, no peace"? How did he already know not to? How did he know to soldier on for the cause

Was the Starbucks incident a set up?
Think of it more as a couple of Black entrepreneurs successfullly executing a carefully formulated business plan
bkmk
Yeah, this must have been back in the late 60s early 70s. I was just struck how that tactic has morphed into what we see today - entitled, privileged blacks projecting their racist hate onto others in order to justify their TNB. They also liked to use underage protestors for “demonstrations” because it looked worse on TV when they got their heads rightfully cracked.
So, the romantic presentation of Ms. Parks as a tired seamstress was born. Was she sometimes tired and a seamstress? Yes she was, but when she refused to give up that seat on the bus she was a civil rights activist and officer with the Montgomery NAACP.
And for those of you who still question that her ride on the bus was simply to go home, consider this: Six months prior to her arrest she traveled to Tennessee to attend the Highlander Folk School, an education center for workers rights and racial equality.
Rosa Parks was not just a member of the NAACP since the 1930s, but an officer. She wasn't an illiterate, uneducated poor soul, but she was a high school graduate back when the majority of the U.S. were not.
Was the Starbucks incident a setup? Of course. Both Nelson and Robinson are both college graduates with degrees in finance and/or marketing.
That what I mean - like they intentionally sent high school students into Montgomery knowing they were going to be arrested violently so they could screech “they’re attacking the chilllldren!!!”
We know what the two men said, but I would like to know what the Starbucks security cameras show regarding their time of arrival. If the manager really did call the cops within 2 minutes of the arrival of these two after almost no interaction with them (according to them), what is her side of the story?
what is her side of the story?
*************
Unless there is a lawsuit in which she testifies we’ll not know for sure.
But with security cameras, police logs, etc we have some time lines.
The cops time lines should be accurate. My guess the other is also. There
were there for 4:45 meeting with another person. Got there a little early
and went to a table. I understand not ordering as they most likely wanted
to wait for the other person to arrive. Then they could get coffee, food
or drinks at that time.
My overall assessment is that the mgr did a poor job of communicating
with them. And they did a poor job telling her we are waiting on
another person and we’ll order when he gets here. Full communications
would have helped. They didn’t provide enough and she didn’t asked
for enough info.
My guess is that is why she is no longer employed at Chic-fil-a.
YA THINK?!?
At first it just smelled like a setup. Now I am certain.
The no-imagination insane idiot copycats are sprouting out all over.
I have already quit Starbucks for good for giving in to Black Thug Extortion. What have they got to lose? They'll just raise the drink prices for the ignorant, complacent sheep.
I'm taking this flock out of here.
Together with any other so-called free enterprise system that joins the losing game.
Oh by the way, I have been ignoring totally ALL so called polls.
Totally Fake numnutz pushpoll - Losers!
