Debra Evans says:

Black people
Don't spend your money at
Starbucks
Stop making them Rich
Develop your own
Black business
We can avoid
Protesting
And
boycotting
If we develop our own black businesses
And stop making the white man rich
White people do not care about black people
All they want
Is our money's
We've got to think brothers and sisters
To support each other
And develop our own businesses
That we can go to In peace
Protesting and boycotting is a waste of time
That time should be for us
To develop
Our own Black businesses
And I mean
Black
Do not bring in the white partner
It will not work out for you right
Keep it all Black
Just like
White people
Keep their businesses
All White
That's why they are Rich
And we are always
Boycotting
And
Protesting
Peace
2018

If people would think before reacting then this type of thing would be null and void …..if they were there a long period of time then as an employee I would have asked if they were going to order something…..and avoided all other insignificant mayham it would have resulted in like arresting someone what the heck is this world coming to if people can't have a seat and wait for a friend and then have a beverage…….the police I would think have better spent their time catching a real criminal what the heck….

Mr Handsome says:

If it's not true, why would Starbucks be attacked this way?
Have there been complaints from any people of color against Star Bucks?
Most times truths are hidden but find its way to the light.

Valencia Mcneill says:

Wow! Very creative racist prank! Isn't it good knowing these cowardly "people" are out there among us? What part of these Starbucks incidents leaves room to doubt? Which parts are open for interpretation? Where is the availability for a spin narrative or "alternative fact"? ABSOLUTELY ZERO and NOWHERE .

And still they try us. 😒

Katie H says:

I heard about this racist ploy on Dominique Di Prima's ' Front Page'. I found the whole 1488 reference to sickening but hey, racism is a Disease.

Proverbial ONE says:

We can NEVER underestimate the minds of demons. This was an opportunity for them to display one level, of many, of how having an High IQ can spread malicious activity.

Akwaaba B says:

"incident" escalated? you mean your dumbass racist employee calling the cops on two African American men sitting in one of your coffee shops???? there was no need for that to be an "incident"!!!!!

p.s. it IS who you are! it IS who amerikkka is!

C J-The Ice Princess says:

WOW!! This incident opened a "door" for cruel ghouls to slip in and act like gremlins.

Ghetto King says:
