Starbucks executive chairman Howard Schultz said on Tuesday that President Trump's rhetoric on race is partly to blame for the country's "racial divide."
Schultz said he believes the president has given people license to copy the "behavior and language that comes out of this administration," in an interview with CNN Tuesday.
"Having said that, the racial divide and the inequities that exist between people of color and caucasians in America is a problem that's existed for quite some time and I think — we have to ask ourselves a very important question and that is, what kind of country do we want to live in?" Schultz added.
"And from my perspective, we want to live in a country in which we love and respect every American."

Wasn’t it HIS racist company that wouldn’t let two African Americans use the bathroom?
Hello! Did you not get the memo about “relocating” AAs and glbtpqxyz types to fema camps? Yeah, me neither.
LOL! What about $1.00 gas station sushi? Now that’s brave.
Schultz told us not to go to his stores if you were a Christian.
So we don’t go.

“...diarrhea-in-....” Didn’t the “hoggalites” just do that at a publix in south FLA?
BS. Most of the vocal yappers in the race victim scam are simply professional accusers in search of their next subject . . . or mark, if you will.
He went from “my” to the collective “we” in the same sentence...like a coward who can’t speak for himself.
Sgt. Schultz-—I KNOW KNUSSING!
It’s Trump’s fault that the unintentional elitists who run Starbucks hire unintentional racists? ROTFL
The scenario you suggested could end up requiring a protest that will mandate Starbucks will need to provide MORE and NICER restrooms. (I like it.)
Subliminal racism abounds. It’s just not obvious. Or something.

Ok Monsieur Schultz, so run for office and see how far you get.
My prediction is you won’t even get on base before the electorate hands you your walking papers.
Prove me wrong.
The democratic characterization of Trump is partially responsible for the present climate.
I actually think Obama is much more to blame for heightened racial animosities. Until he stoked the flames of racial hatred I think things were getting better.
Now that I don’t have to buy anything to use their toilet I will be frequenting their establishments more often.
Understatement for sure.
If Howie were truly serious, he’d give Starbuck’s to the NAACP, lock stock and barrel. It could then be totally operated and staffed by blacks. That would exemplify his true dedication to racial healing.
If he doesn’t, he’s just another greedy, two-faced honky.
Howard Schultz is responsible for an increase in pedophiles.
Quick, pop some kettle corn while starsucks crashes and burns.....
Hey, Schultzy—Would I be loved and valued if I showed up in one of your stores wearing a MAGA hat?
