According to a recently released internal memo, Starbucks baristas will no longer write "Race Together" on customers' cups starting Sunday.

Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson says the campaign to create discussion on diversity and racial inequality will continue without the handwritten messages, which are phasing out as originally planned.

They can start by discussing why all the bigwigs are white.

And all of the 'little-wigs', too.

Jennings, Missouri is reported to have a Starbucks located in a convenience store. Jennings is a couple of miles from Ferguson, Missouri 90% African American

In a convenience store? So it's not a Starbucks - it's a 7-11 that sells Starbucks coffee? Well, I guess Starbucks isn't racist after all... /s

Shaddup and brew. The sales must be cratering.

One of the dumbest ideas I have heard of in long time.

This points out the absurdity:

Why is coffee black and bitter unless you add to it?

Hey, I can read Arabic!

Just add some of the white elixr?

Now he says he will hire 10,000 folks in the lower income neighborhoods.

So, a small latte per day will probably still cost $,1000 per year.

Hey Shultz — you wanna do some good, i.e.” #race together?” How ‘bout dropping the price to $1.00 for same. You’ll still make millions.

You sir, are a G-R-E-E-D-Y elitist with a severe guilt problem, trying to foster your own shame on everyone and everything — except your pocketbook.

“Has anyone discovered a Starbucks in a black neighborhood yet? I hear there aren’t any...”

I have a friend that when he travels that is his test to see if a neighborhood is crime ridden. He looks for a Starbucks. He went to Washington DC last month. Didn’t find one near the arts center. Had to a few miles. Found one in a supermarket. Went there and he was the only white guy in the place.

If you like a little cream in yo coffee, you racist.

I kept an eye on 3 different Starbucks on my work commute over the past week here in the deep blue commonwealth of Massachusetts. ALL had much slower traffic over the past week than normal. All that was needed was to look through the windows and/or drive throughs. It was dead. Trust me folks, this one pissed off just as many liberals. You see, most libs ARE racists, and really don’t wanna be reminded of it when they’re getting coffee.

LOL - thanks for sharing Jim...

Race Bar Stools Together!

Overpriced and bitter tasting coffee served with a generous dollop of liberal crap. Just what I want to spend $10 on first thing in the morning.

Not that I even frequent this skiffy place, but any coffee-slinger or customer that be-bops up to me and tries to talk to me about race relations is going to get treated like a doctor that casually asks me if I own guns. Mind your business.
