    yes, I know, it was hard to tell if that meant she had dealt with him before or not, I just watched video and still not sure, if they have security tapes of dealing with him in past woudl help bolster their case

    she also wasn't white, but that doesn't mean anything, people can be racist to other races or their own too

    I would like her to go on tv and explain why she treated this man differently, if she doesn't people will have to assume the worst as they will only have the video to go on, which doesn't look good

    Zionist, not liberal.




    https://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/08/08/starbucks-war-crimes-israel/



    Read it carefully as the source for this link is CONSERVATIVE: it quotes the liberal Huffington's denial of Starbuck support of Zionism.


    For those of you who are right wing, you should be the first ones to agree with this TRUTH.

    If that's the case why didn't she just tell him to leave when he walked in the shop.

    Looks white too me.

    I wish she would also.

    is that the same person as in the video? regardless as I said, doesn't change anything, if he was a issue in the past, that explains her actions in the present, if she had never met him before then this was racism pure and simple - we need more information to come to a conclusion

    depends why this guy was denied, all that does is show it also happens to white people too, should upset you as much as happening to a black guy, does it matter the race?

    all people should be treated equal, black or white or even green

    to be fair as it is a crime to public urinate, I think all people asking to use a bathroom should be allowed, seems cruel to deny such access, it's happened to me when I did not have any money and had to drive to next gas station, not fun

    Shouldn't happen to anyone, difference is I am not going to try and justify it happening to someone white.

    Isn't that what the CRM is all about.

    sure you would, in the last thread you asked me to show you an example of it happening to a white person, did you forget already?

    fact is it happens to people of all races, the question is, did she do this because of his race or previous actions on his part, had he been told not to come back in the past for some reason, we need to know more

    we can say in both cases just let them use the bathroom, why even lock it to begin with

    Did you show an example? No. Here you did.

    Fact is white folks have never faced the type of in your face racism that black folks have and still do.

    Why is there so many "racism" stories coming from liberal stores in liberal cities in liberal states and nothing from conservative areas?

    Why should a private business have to allow anyone to use their facilities that doesn't purchase anything? That's like saying the company owes you a drink just as much as they own you the use of their toilet. The store doesn't get to write off or not pay for the water and waste and toilet paper and lights being used if you don't pay for anything in the store.

    According the SJWs, black on white is "colorism", has the same definition as racism, they just don't want the word thrown their way like they do when calling whites racist.

    But you saying that needs some proof. Ferguson, Trayvon, Philly, LA, Baltimore, all these places that have made the biggest news stories for "racism" is coming from liberal towns and or stores like starbucks. Do you see chic-fil-a kicking people out of their place of business in conservative areas in GA?

    the confederates seem to be from the south

    the reality is, most Americans are not racist, black or white, north or south, but some of all races exist

    almost all white racist now are republican because dems had a black President
    but if republicans elect a black President they would all become democrats - they are not party driven as much as racially driven

    all black racist are dems, cause republicans picked Trump - it works both ways

    most of both parties are NOT racists

    Oh, its new like "white privilege" was 5 years ago. Its the kids' gloves of calling people racist. Remember, they changed the definition of racism to having "institutional power" over another group, even if was a white trash hillbilly doing something to Al Sharpton, the white guy is the racist one cause of "institutional power" he supposedly holds.

    You mean the democrats from 150 years ago? They migrated to these big cities that are still voting democrats and calling themselves "liberal" or "progressive" now.

    the term white privilege is misused as an attack on all white people anymore, agree there - there is some black privilege and white privilege though... we need to end that, start seeing each other as equals

    From 2014

    OK let's suppose for the sake of argument that this Starbucks had had a problem with people just coming in and using their restrooms requiring addtional cleaning and disrupting the use by paying customers. Especially homeless people who were not well kept and if fact quite dirty and perhaps disruptive. So the management says no more people using the facilities unless they have made a purchase, end of story. They know if they let anyone but then deny someone else that that is a lawsuit over discrimination waiting to happen. So a pregnant lady comes in and ask and the person working there says sorry they are for paying customers only.

    How do you make a policy that can prevent over use by non-paying customers and a constant stream of non-paying customers especially ones who are not well kept and not very "hygenic" yet allow for this situation where the employee knows he could get fired for allowing a non-paying customer use the facilities.

    Many years ago I was training for a marathon. While in downtown I realized I had to take a **** so I stopped at the Four Seasons. Not only did the doorman hold the door open for me, they gave me a bottle of water. A few minutes later as I was leaving I saw them preventing a homeless black guy from entering. Glorious.
