An internal memo sent to Starbucks employees last week specifically warned staffers against wearing accessories or clothes bearing messages in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The memo, obtained by BuzzFeed News, reminds staffers that such messages are prohibited under the company's policy against accessories that "advocated a political, religious or personal issue."
Numerous employees told the news outlet, however, that the company regularly allows or even encourages employees to wear pins in support of LGBTQ equality, especially during Pride Month every June.
"Starbucks LGBTQ+ partners wear LGBTQ+ pins and shirts, that also could incite and create violent experiences amongst partners and customers," one black transgender employee of the coffee chain told BuzzFeed. “We have partners who experienced harassment and transphobia/homophobia for wearing their pins and shirts, and Starbucks still stands behind them."
A video from a top company executive reportedly sent with the memo warned employees that "agitators who misconstrue the fundamental principles" of the movement could seek to "amplify divisiveness" if the messages are displayed in stores.
"We know your intent is genuine and understand how personal this is for so many of us. This is important and we hear you," the memo read.

Know your customers.
Heheh. That pic needs audio. :)
LOL, another scene they probably won’t show anymore.
Can you imagine how many WHITE COFFEES Starbucks would sell if they announced such a new product???
I bet their left-wing management would be shocked out of their PC wits....
That happened to me in MA,they sweetened my black coffee....I had to toss it.
I believe that is the only coffee that will be sold.
In Ireland they ask if we want our coffee black or white. That is with cream or without.
“Latte for Raz”??
I still won’t buy their coffee because the support abortion.
You need to order it as Yankee tea, that will get you what you want.
The crazy left has made it very clear—if you are neutral or silent you are a racist.
I will predict that Starbucks will cave to the pressure.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they required every employee to kneel before each shift. :-(

Black Coffee Matters.
They'll go spineless and rescind this in no time flat.
Truth?
I’ve attempted to drink unsweetened tea. It’s impossible.
When I take a sip of unsweetened tea, I honestly feel nauseated. Disgusting.
I don’t know how people do it.
