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."

I don’t buy from business that wear their politics.
Some people just can’t handle success.
TRANSLATION: “Instead of standing by our sensible policy to protect our paying customers, I stepped in it big time and gave my business away to those who prefer to loiter w/o buying a thing - gotta blame someone else for my ineptitude...”
Is he talking about the racial divide the country experienced during the Obama presidency? Seems to me that there is now less of divide. No cities have burned since the inauguration, anyway. That’s always a good sign.
My attitude about Starburnt: When you gotta go, you gotta go. Had to use some foul facilities in my time. Free bathrooms are always welcome in my travels.
And here is the plot of Starbucks' stock...it has basically gone nowhere since Trump has ascended...
I'm just sayin'...
Blow it out your bunghole, Howie. What’s really at issue is that the likes of you appease the victim industry, which empowers them. This is a lesson from history that appeasers never can seem to grasp.
>>>And from my perspective, we want to live in a country in which we love and respect every American<<<
Oops, he really messed up. He used the term “American”, just like POTUS Trump always does.
Of course, he insinuates that POTUS Trump is a Racist, but is never asked to back up his allegation with Facts.
You just sent your young employees to Communist Reprogramming, you are not fit to lecture anyone!
> we have to ask ourselves a very important question... <
Translation: I’m now going to lecture all you deplorables. I’ll list all the bad things about you. And since it’s a lecture, no opposing viewpoints will be allowed.
And the same thing goes when a liberal calls for “an honest dialog”. Get ready for a lecture.
I was never a big Starbucks fan but whenever I was in an airport, mall or other place where that was the only barista available I would certainly stop in if I wanted a cup of coffee. Now, I would never enter a Starbucks even if you paid me.
I’d rather buy a $1.00 candy bar from a gas station and know the bathroom is clean then to use one that any person off the street can use.
I think I am going to exercise my White Privilege to send them back the gift card somebody gave me for Christmas unused.

I’d like to stage a diarrhea-in- where large groups of people take turbo lax before going to a starbucks to sit all day for free-
Lucky for us, NOTflix has signed the obamskee’s to a multi year deal because the want to continue to unify the great divide in this country and produce entertainment with positive values and hope. Welllllll, okee dokee then. LOL!
