Easy answer..... some people aren’t willing to pay four bucks for a cup of ice and coffee

Uh, obviously market research showed going into those communities would be financial suicide?

I'll tell you why... Starbucks is an upscale coffee joint (whether you like their products or not), and they're picky about the neighborhoods they move into. It's not race that's keeping them out of places like East St. Louis, it's class. Starbucks figures there aren't a lot of people there who want their product.
Let's face it, if they thought there was money to be made there, they'd be there.

Because bullet-proof glass is too expensive to put in a coffee shop?

That’s not it... it’s racism... pure and simple.

I think the black community should sue Starbucks. How insulting that they’ve decided they’re ‘too upscale’ for black people...
Time to sue.

No, they are not there because of racism plain and simple. They hate Black people or else they’d try to serve those communities.
Starbucks is merely exposing their White privilege. They need to admit it and pay reparations. Al and Jessie need to pay these guys a visit. There’s money to be made here. Obama and Holder should weigh in as well.
