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?

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.

Actually many black communities fight efforts to "gentrify" their neighborhoods with upscale outlets like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Chipotle and even Starbucks.

Seems all they want is pawn shops, fried chicken, check-cashing and payday loan joints. All closed up at night with iron gates.

I wonder if it’s because Starbucks believes blacks don’t drink coffee.

I wonder if it’s because Starbucks believes they may lose a store to looting and thug violence in those areas.

I wonder if it’s because Starbucks is just a pretentious liberal hypocrite of a company.

Maybe I’ll go have a talk with them about their race relations.

Because their market research shows that it wouldn’t be feasible.

Read the comments on this article for lots of laughs. One of my favorites:

Starbucks employees should wear these T-Shirts:

"There once was a thug named Brown,
Who bum rushed a cop in town,
6 bullets later,
He met his creator,
And his homies burned down the town."

That should break the ice.
