    I doubt you read that was store policy. Again the CEO is all over tv apologizing. And I don't expect anything from businesses other than the services I'm paying for, however if a company wants to go above and beyond that that is certainly their prerogative as is the case with Starbucks.

    This is identity politics in its lowest form. Until we have the OP headline which accurately reads "Cops Arrest 2 Individuals Sitting In Starbucks For ‘Trespassing" anything in which a member of an identity politics group will be labeled racism, sexism, homophobia, ... etc. That's exactly what this is. Two individuals who are members of an identity politics group proves racism, white privilege, white supremacy, .... Ridiculous.

    These men just did not understand the complicated list of whom are privileged and whom are not, which requires a PHD from some Left Socialist University of renowned enlightenment, such as UC, Berkeley.

    Here is the list as I see it, but it might need some really smart Leftist or Incredibly sophisticated and smart Starbucks manager to amend it.

    Privileged classes:

    1. All Leftist Marxist Socialists, with insignia that is recognized by Starbucks employees on sight.
    2. Any homosexual males that are making it very obvious that they are gay and have an agenda.
    3. Same for any homosexual females
    4. Any male transsexuals whom still have their original genitalia, yet are dressed as women, and are waiting to see if any young girls go into the women's restroom.
    5. Any Leftist Celebrities, no matter how intoxicated or high on drugs, belligerent they may be.
    6. Any Billionaires whom fund far left globalist agenda, like George Soros, or any Leftist Billionaire Boy Nerds like Facebook Zuckerberg actively engaged in censorship, while claiming their platform is "neutral".
    7. Any Muslim Radical with full head gear, espousing hatred for America or any of his wives dressed in black, full hijab covering face whom scorn American women who have not submitted themselves to husbands tyrannical abuse.
    8. Any illegal alien seeking sanctuary coffee shop.

    Unprivileged classes:

    1. Any one of any gender, race, exhibiting signs of being conservative, such as sitting at a table, minding your own business, and not having loud emotional outbursts.
    2 Anyone with an Alex Jones hat, or a Trump hat, or an insignia from any conservative talk radio show.
    3. Black heterosexual males not exhibiting signs of being hoodlums, or doing drug deals, or being belligerent, ie: just asking politely to use the bathroom, then sitting at a table in a mostly empty Starbucks public space.
    4. Normal working males that mow grass, fix toilets, install carpet, or any other job deemed by Starbucks managers to be "uncouth" thus an annoyance for the more sophisticated intelligentsia whom gather daily to discuss globalist issues, and denounce their mechanics, gardeners, limo drivers, and other members of the proletariat.
    5. Christians
    6. Elder people whom might be passing by Starbucks and have unexpected sudden need to use restroom and do not have time to wait for some stupid millennial employee or manager to "approve" such use by demanding purchase of something first.

    The Dark Side of the Starbucks Stand-Down.

    No one reasonably believes that Starbucks — a company that consistently competes for gold in the corporate Woke Olympics — turns a blind eye to systemic racism. No one reasonably believes that the company’s founder is anything other than committed to racial equality.

    But we live in hysterical times, and hysterical times call for hysterical measures. So Starbucks hasn’t just publicly apologized. It hasn’t just sent its CEO to meet with the men and personally apologize. It’s ordering a national stand-down at more than 8,000 company-owned stores and forcing more than 175,000 employees to undergo “racial bias” training, including training in so-called unconscious bias.

    Starbucks employees, welcome to the world of Orwellian junk science.

    What happens in the video?
    In the video, Sharpe, who is filming from a first-person point of view, can be seen entering a Starbucks.

    Sharpe patiently waits for the barista to finish ringing up the customer in front of him when he demands the gratis beverage.

    “I heard y’all was racist, so I came to get my free coffee,” Sharpe can be heard saying.

    The young white barista responds, “I saw that!” referencing the recent Starbucks incident in which two black men were arrested for “defiant trespassing.”

    The young barista adds that she saw a lot of talk about the incident on social media the previous night, and adamantly says, “Not our store!”

    “I heard you guys don’t like black people, so I came to get my Starbucks reparations voucher,” Sharpe explains in response.

    The barista happily obliges, and asks him if he wants milk or flavoring with his coffee. Sharpe opts for both.

    “That’s what I’m talking about! This is justice,” Sharpe answers. “This is justice. This is what I’m talking about.”

    Toward the end of the video, Sharpe can be heard saying, “Black privilege gets me free coffee. I love racism. Only in America.”

    Sharpe shared the video on his Twitter page, and the video has received over 71,000 views and over 1,000 likes.

    Anything else?
    When reached for comment, Sharpe tells TheBlaze, “Racism is a business. Thanks to the ridiculousness of BLM activists, it’s the new publicity stunt — and I think I just proved it.”
    [/QUOTE]





    Strange as every black I had known personally work for a living but what the hell in a Trump alternate reality they are all homeless bums that deserve no human respect due to the color of their skin in Starbucks or anywhere else.

    Next as far as our racist leader is concern I wonder how he would feel if his 12 years old was gun down in a near by public park by police officers who saw the color of his skin ahead of the fact it is a child playing.

    Or for that matter if when he was a little older the police hung a rape on him and his friends at the park and people like Trump called for the death sentence by taking out a full page adv in the NYT. The only problem is that after spending years behind bars it turn out that all of them was proven innocent. But the the hell we know that all blacks are rapists at best.

    The employee actually said
    "“Is that a real thing?” she asks him. “I mean, I’ll give it to you, I saw that on my Twitter last night and I was like, what the f*ck!”"
    to a customer? She should be fired for that. The obscene and raw language used with abhandon by younger generations is just atrocious

    When asked what the company's policy is about making purchases, a Starbucks spokesperson said: "In this particular store, the guidelines were that partners must ask unpaying customers to leave the store, and police were to be called if they refused."https://www.sfgate.com/business/art...ays-Starbucks-manager-showed-her-12845189.php

    Starbucks employees told the responding officers that the two men had asked to use the restroom, Ross said. Employees said they told the pair that the restroom was only for paying customers and asked them to leave, and the pair allegedly refused. The men allegedly told the employees to go ahead and call the police.

    According to Police Commissioner Ross, police “politely” asked the pair to leave several times and they continued to refuse and behaved rudely toward the officers. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...black-men-arrests_us_5ad22073e4b077c89ce91c74

    Probably the first major lesson we learn in life is respect for the host rules. The family into which we are born, has rules by which we are taught to abide and are beholden. When we visit one friends house, we abide by the rules of that home. At another friends, we abide by the rules of that friends home and family. Rules in life, at school, while driving, visiting other countries. There are paramaters and rules to which we are beholden everywhere. The concept is not alien, but with us our entire lives from the very moment we are born. So when a Manager asks you politely to either purchase something or leave, then it is perfectly fair, familiar and normal. But these guys not only refused, they taunted the Manager and then had the nerve to disobey the Police as well. Like I said, these guys deserved to be arrested. The Manager was as fair as a spring morning, the problem customers as deceitful as the day is long, and the Starbucks CEO was disgustingly spineless.

    Ok, so the manager tells you that they have to buy something to stay there, they don't buy anything and they stay there, refusing your order for them to leave every time.

    Learning to play by the rules is part of growing up. That's why teenagers are often hard to raise......they test the waters constantly to see if maybe the rules don't apply to them. Eventually, most grow up and figure out it's just easier and better for all to just follow the rules. It seems as if many blacks are in a state of arrested development and act like teenagers, no matter what age, which leads to these types of confrontations.....

    You mean the types of confrontations that highlight bias, jeopardize business, inform policy and move social justice forward? I guess so. It certainly aren't conservative ideas winning the day.

    There was whites sitting in the store who had not ordered. In fact there was a white sitting and not ordering. AT THE SAME TIME. This was all caught on camera, and corroborated by multiple people... which is why Starbucks got in hot water.

    Research the whole situation next time. The CEO is bending over backwards because this looks very bad...since it IS bad. Two blacks were asked to leave for not ordering while whites doing the same were not. This is very simple and a PR disaster which falls squarely on SB.

    They let white people sit without buying anything during both altercations. This was caught on camera of both events.

    The blacks were charged for nothing and the manager was fired. Both stores. Rightfully so. This isn't some fluke, the CEO is going on massive dmg control because of what those tapes show and what many in that store corroborated.

    Anything else is an Alex Jones conspiracy.

    Teenagers? Liberals? I am talking about taxpayers and voters. I don't care how old they are or what their political affiliations are. Do you agree with the 2nd. amendment?

    The first slaves arrived in the new colonies in 1616 so that's all I can think of that he may be referring to, and claiming that blacks have been slaves the entire time and that slavery didn't end 153 years ago.

    But Bobby did it too! Your rationale is purely childish. I noticed how you conveniently left out the part about not only being there without ordering something, but then requesting the code to the bathrooms and being told that the bathrooms are for paying customers. In other words, instead of sitting politely under the radar and waiting for their friend. They decided to push the envelope and use the bathrooms too. Upon being told no, they pushed the envelope even further, forcing the Manager to use the "order something or leave" command. Do you see the difference now? It's not color. It's conduct. The whole thing smacks of an underhanded setup to me. And I don't buy it for a second. The real Lee Van Cleef would know better than to fall for such an obvious scam.

    Apparently you are not following the conversation. My comment was made in response to a statement by another poster. The statement was clearly racist. Look it up and educate yourself. Never mind I did it for you. Here is the statement I responded to. It is post #232 by Stonwall Jackson.

    Exactly.....black people think they are 'special' and don't have to play by the same rules as everybody else..........

    Well the police who charged him with nothing, Star Bucks CEO who specifically said his company was in the wrong here, and the other patrons who said they ordered nothing as well disagree with you. Letting whites do it but not letting blacks do it has caused issues....as it would anywhere in the USA after 1970.

    Coincidentally,

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/starbucks-los-angeles-philadelphia-accused-of-racism/

    White guy got the codes without ordering. Black guy didn't. Lmao. THIS. LOOKS. BAD.

    The CEO isn't dumb. He knows this week looks bad no matter how hard a handful of people on fringe internet comment sections spin for him. He's on damage control because he NEEDS to be on damage control.

    He's not being a SJW. He's not catering to "teh liberulz". He's being a smart business man. Two of his managers in two different stores screwed the pooch, hitting the national news, and he's on clean up duty as he SHOULD be.

    Here's the best part, because there's no agenda at all... Starbucks has gone full retard.

    "Starbucks plans to close its 8,000 company-owned stores in the United States for one afternoon in May to teach employees about racial bias. The training will be provided to about 175,000 workers.

    It will be developed with guidance from experts including former Attorney General Eric Holder and Sherrilyn Ifill, the president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund.

    On Wednesday, Johnson and Starbucks founder Howard Schultz met with Philadelphia church and community leaders.

    Rev. Gregory Holston, executive director of POWER, a group that helped organize the meeting, said he was "cautiously optimistic" about Starbucks' response.

    In addition to the bias training, Starbucks leaders were pressed in the meeting on raising wages, on hiring workers who have been incarcerated and on their role in gentrifying neighborhoods."
