>> Can I still ask for a black coffee?

Absolutely not! But you could try asking for a tall cup of Marxism.

[Old Yeller]

I like my coffee black and bitter, just like most of the people hired by insurance and government call centers.

Suddenly Starbucks finds itself to the right of NASCAR.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Starbucks location where the number of black customers exceeded the number of black employees.

Smart business decision; people who refuse to work don’t spend that much on a cup of coffee. No reason to annoy those people who would spend that much...

If they cave on this one, the only “customers” in some of their stores will be Antifa planning groups...maybe they’ll learn a lesson about openly supporting movements like LGBQTXYZDEFJKL....and encouraging other than regular dress code for employees...all of a sudden they see a radical, anarchist group seeking an opportunity to further entrench itself...if it cows Starbucks, there will be a string of others.

This won’t last. The apology — followed by BLM commemorative cups and handing out BLM gear to employees will happen in a few days.

I saw that unartful headline and pictured all nude barristas in Starbucks. . . Ugly thought.
