Is It Racist? Starbucks Gives Up Trying To Solve America's 'Other' Great Divide
Just as The Fed folded this week on ending the nation's booming income inequality problem (by reinforcing the Yellen put for longer), so Starbucks has folded in its effort to fix the other growing divide in America - racism. Careful not to admit that it was due to pressure from the avalanche of less-than-positive social media reactions, AP reports Starbucks baristas will no longer write "Race Together" on customers' cups. "Nothing is changing," Starbucks claims it was all part "of the cadence" of the plan - hhmm. "Most people come to Starbucks for coffee," concludes one young African-American, adding "race is an uncomfortable thing to bring up, especially in a Starbucks."
Starbucks baristas will no longer write "Race Together" on customers' cups starting Sunday, ending as planned a visible component of the company's diversity and racial inequality campaign that had sparked widespread criticism in the week since it took effect.
The coffee chain's initiative will continue more broadly without the handwritten messages, Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson said.
The cups were always "just the catalyst" for a larger conversation, and Starbucks will still hold forum discussions, co-produce special sections in USA TODAY and put more stores in minority communities as part of the Race Together initiative, according to a company memo from CEO Howard Schultz said.
The campaign has been criticized as opportunistic and inappropriate, coming in the wake of racially charged events such as national protests over police killings of black males. Others questioned whether Starbucks workers could spark productive conversations about race while serving drinks.
The phase-out is not a reaction to that pushback, Olson said. "Nothing is changing. It's all part of the cadence of the timeline we originally planned."
He echoed the company memo, saying of the Race Together initiative, "We're leaning into it hard."
As one commentator noted, "I've not read a single positive Tweet or commentary on the @Starbucks #RaceTogether effort."
At a Starbucks in Pittsfield Township, Michigan, near Ann Arbor, two customers said on Sunday they didn't think a coffee shop was the right place for race relations dialogue.
Ninette Musili, a junior biomolecular science major at the University of Michigan, said the campaign seemed to her like an insincere publicity stunt that wasn't executed properly.
Like many who criticized Starbucks, she goes to the shops either before class or later in the day to study. At neither time does she want to discuss race relations.
"Most people come to Starbucks for coffee," said Musili, who is 19 and African-American. "Race is an uncomfortable thing to bring up, especially in a Starbucks."
She said such discussions are important, and that Starbucks should have set aside time during the evenings for race discussions and invited people to attend.
Another customer, Shane Mulholland, 46, of Ann Arbor, also said Starbucks isn't the venue to talk about race.
"They're here for coffee. They're not here to push their political agenda," he said. "I even contemplated not coming here because of it."
He said Starbucks should remain neutral on such topics because it's an established brand, rather than risk alienating customers. "There are other ways you can go about doing things to stimulate interest in what you're doing," said Mulholland, who is white and runs an edible mushroom-growing business. "They must be doing so well they don't have to worry about losing customers over that," he said.

As Bloomberg concludes, suffice it to say that Starbucks' Race Together initiative has not yet solved the vexing problem of racism in America.

That's a fine cartoon...
As one commentator noted, "I've not read a single positive Tweet or commentary on the @Starbucks #RaceTogether effort."
What did you fucking expect?
Mocha Latte = Nigga Cracka. Stop the madness.
LOL!!!
Don't tell them the Mexicans are about 1000X moar rayciss than the brutha.
Starbucks "New Coke" moment...
Yet another classic corporate "what the hell were they thinking?"
ive never been to starbucks, but i was looking so forward for my first visit and ordering my usuall balck coffee...than chatting with im sure the well prepared server...damn....back to never going to starbucks policy...
I'm looking at this as a possible marketing ploy. Are their sales noticeably dropping in neighborhoods with an ethnic customer base?
With a soft economy in restuarants and such, soft sales might be expected on the low end.
So it might have been a strategy to give those customers a reason to get back in their stores
his plan is and has effectivly worked....here on a sunday night we are talking about niggers, jews, spics, whoops , slopes et. al.. ...i guess it is a sensitive issue we should all talk about more....
archie..
"Black" coffee ... mmm ... I'm sure Eric "Fast & Furious" Holder would jump on that as rayciss and appoint a team to investigate.
Politically correct is "Coffee with no milk and no cream."
Drinkin' Black Coffee.

Shouldn't that be African American coffee?
Whenever I order my vanilla Frappuccino and a black coffee, ahem...African American coffee, I make them give me two separate cup holder trays just to keep the peace on my way home.
/sarc for those who need to know
Somebody should ask the barista why there are no Starbucks in Ferguson, MO, Selma, AL or any inner city black neighborhood.
Then watch the uber hip Gender Studies major squirm and stutter their way through some corporate explanation.
Fuck Starbucks and the horde of stupid that populate their establishment.
I had a $50 gift card for starbucks. I think it was a christmas gift or something. I gave it to the mail carrier that serves my neighborhood. She is black. Although I gave it to her before any of this race baiting shit happened.
Here's a thought for a new Starbucks campaign:
Barristas should start writing: "Share Profits Together" on coffee cups to get customers talking about how wealthy corporate overlords subject their employees to slave-level wages while they themselves rake in billions selling coffee for $5/cup and inventing stupid political gimmicks...
Or ask Mrs. Schultz if she prefers white or red this week -- reference is to the color of flowers she wants their home decorated in before her return. She is known to change her mind hours before arrival, necessitating the replacement of thousands of dollars in flowers.
"African American coffee,"
Nope, "Coffee of color".
You forgot about jibowohbs & fluters.
Bah, bah, bah, I'm luvin' it!
Here we go again. He's tryin' to poach the brotha's from Mickey D's.

problem is now to avoid any conflit with baboons you act like 1984 to reshape vocabulary...
a nigger is a nigger, a coffee is a coffee, a cunt is a cunt... i do not see any problem of saying that a nigger hating to call a simple coffee "black coffee" is just a fucking cunt...
to your own reflexion, have you ever realized in spain, negro means black, so population talking about nigger, talk about negro...
depending of the location in the world, mentalities are definitivly not the same...
what the fuck happened, ffs...
gonna take times on the barman " hi, i want the simple liquid, usually hot but not systematically, we can add sugar or milk to it, is called coffee, the basic one, the... B***** one...
come on....
dup
Thanks for the laugh before going to bed.
Im surprised Starbucks would give so much attention to blacks, when one pastor went on a rampage about them adding seman to their coffee, which they get from gays.
http://www.snopes.com/info/news/starbuckstaint.asp
Dumbshits. Jumping the shark trying to "anticipate" what most people other than than the most dull and biased got over a long time ago.
When we're all Dingo's, what the fuck will it be then, eyebrow length and how much hair you have?
The race card is so tattered - and so obviously a tool for the elites to foment division - wake up you tools.
On second thought, don't wake up, keep doing stupid shit until people figure you leeches out and lynch all of Wall Street and Washington and reboot this sad sack society.
Blacks sexually assault 35,000 white females every year in the US. Including 2-4000 gang rapes lol. White men are such beta-boy sheep.
Twitter backfire!

Schultz, from wiki;
Howard D. Schultz was born to a Jewish family[7] on July 19, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York.
In 1998, Schultz was awarded the "Israel 50th Anniversary Tribute Award" from the Jerusalem Fund of Aish Ha-Torah for "playing a key role in promoting a close alliance between the United States and Israel".[26][27]
Starbucks is full of shit like other big occult owned companies.
.
Look at the Starbucks logo - a mermaid serpent holding up her legs and spread, ready to take it. Also, the classic black and white duality motif you see on masonic floors and other occult symbolism.
.
Hows that for your morning java?
.
Im baked.
Where do Starbuck's profits go? To fund settlement expansion in Occupied Palestine. Howard Shultz, is that racist?
hitler was right - it's all the fault of the JOoooooossssss
if i hate only 1 nigger am i raycyst?
What about not-so-Sharpton & Jesse JackAss?
How about this for a "race" discussion.
The whole concept of "races" is a relatively recent human invention. The bible never mentions "races" at all...because the notion didn't exist.
People have different melanin concentrations. so what. sure...we all know Asians are smarter. :) I don't know why, but I don't think it has anything to do with melanin. People from different areas of the world look different. It's genetic variation...get used to it.
everything else about "race relations" is something POTUS doesn't really want to discuss because there are some very inconvenient truths he would have to accept.
You're too stupid to realize you're making the Eugenics argument.
that's kind of funny. Not because you called me stupid....but because I believe everyone on the planet believes there is value in "eugenics". Everyone on the planet would want more of the people they like and desire and less of everyone else.
The only thing left after that is agreed to, is who gets to decide what is or isn't desirable.
The only thing left after that is agreed to, is who gets to decide what is or isn't desirable.
That one is easy. It's usually the person with the most firepower. The other little problem is just what to do with all those 'undesirable' people. If you have a solution do tell.
They are the cultural leaders of "African-Americans".
Shining examples of what all blacks should aspire.to be.....these stellar epitomes of integrity....
s/off for now
Occupied Palestine? If you mean by a bunch of squatters of Arab descent than yes.
Their coffee sucks, so I missed the commentary.
I much prefer to support the locally owned places.
Much better coffee & their counter gals are much hotter.
McDonalds seems to address race every day with a riot or fight or wilding.

These images of happy, modern day America brought to you by the DC welfare state.
might add a couple of cops running out of the building in that scene.
I happened to be passing and thought you might like some coffee...
that's funny
"Race together" sounds too much like "raise together," as in all Starbucks baristas get a pay raise. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz gets the runs thinking about giving his peons hourly pay raises.
It's Racist, I tell you. I am fucking tired of these fuckers.
It certainly is rayciss! Bucks? Bucks? like big strong black slaves on the plantation?
I'm starting a coffee shop called Crackerbux!
Quite funny LC!!!
Let's talk about ridiculously overpriced cups of coffee.
While I hate to admit it, my younger son is an, apparently prominent, 'barrista', whatever that is. All I know is he pours bad-tasting coffee into a cup and adds weird shit to it. I'm not such a poof to even consider paying $5 for fucking coffee, and prefer the cheap shit out of convenience stores or simple Folgers.
Last week, when this idiocy was initiated, my son had attended some bullshit motivation meeting for starbucks barristas in Los Angeles where the president of starbucks launched his line of bullshit. Son came back to explain, while it had already started to spread on the internet, and I let him know that he, as a white kid, had better keep his mouth shut and hold all opinion to himself because this could have gotten real ugly, real fast. And, in reality, the morons that actually want to pay $5 for a fuckin' coffee just want their super expensive coffee and really don't give a shit what some under-30 thinks of the world.
I will never understand the attraction to Starbucks. Their base coffee tastes like shit, it's over-priced, and there's some sort of ritual of adding shit to it instead of it's natural state, fucking black.
Starbucks adds MSG in it's coffee in order to enhance the flavour. It's cheap, overpriced and basically caters to the hipster crowd. I prefer independent coffee shops that offer quality coffee instead of this ersatz product.
MSG in coffee? That explains why people get addicted to Starbucks!
I prefer to consume my MSG in chicken fried rice.
+1 for black Folgers. McDs used to have decent coffee but BK has surpassed them. Can't say about other FF places but a buck is a buck is a buck.
I like mine served by a hot asian chick. Is dat rayciss?
Where the hell did you find a hot asian chick serving coffee?! I want to go there!
I have a 'thing' for hot asian chicks. (They're all hot.)
It's a fad like all those frozen yogurt shops, remember those? They had tons of toppings, too. I had to buy them to get laid regularly. Good deal for that purpose. Waste of money, otherwise.
SB has officially Jumped the Shark. Layoffs in the near future.
All I can think of now is how they pour black coffee into white cups...does that mean I'm rayciss?
Like blacks 'n blonds in porn, or newscasts.
That don't taste very good. Last time I was in Mid-Town Manhattan for work, there was a Starbucks right next to a Duncan Donuts.
Starbucks": ~$5
Duncan: ~$2.
Duncan tastes better, and no line of flashy "look at me" urban hipsters at Duncan. Quick service.
Fuck Starbucks.
Starbucks, a corporation of cowards ;-)
An Empire of Fascists.
Lets all go to Ben & Jerry's for free ice cream! ;-)
Ben and Jerry's support savage killers. Fuck ben and jerrys.
I try to support the local businesses as much as possible. It's not hard to do with restaurants and coffee places. As for ice cream, when I'm in the mood there are local places that make it themselves fresh each day. Beats the hell out the big corporate stuff.
Rest. corps are killing themselves. Their focus on margins, while enriching the executives, invariably kills their quality, over time. I've given up on most for that reason. They cost more for less every year.
Perhaps you missed the too subtle sarcasm.
//////
lol...this place has become infested with idiots.
Be fair. He is not an idiot of your sarcasm is too subtle.
lol...here's an idea.
Lets sell an overly-priced, faddish, highly caffeinated product, served up by teeny-boppers snapping gum indoctrinated by the progressive dogma of our illustrious CEO and our public school system and we'll have them write "Race Together" as a way to start a discussion on race...cuz he's kinda serious about it or sumpin.
Meanwhile not to be outdone, over at plain ole blue collar Dunkin Donuts they've also picked up on the idea as bleery-eyed wage slaves of all races on their way to work are being treated to "Who's Your Baby Daddy?" on their cups.
Find them on twitter under #ICan'tBreath!
Ahhh yes, the subtleness of a good cup of coffee ;-)
Your wit is underappreciated around here and yes, this place is filling with idiots..
Ben and Jerry's support savage killers. Fuck ben and jerrys.
OK, so I didn't even know what this was about until earlier today. After watching the "pundit" class bat this one around on cable TV for a good long while I realized what this was- a publicity stunt. And one that probably worked beyond the expectations of the all-white Starbucks board of directors.
Starbucks is full of shit like the other big occult owned companies.
.
Look at the logo - a mermaid serpent holdin up her legs and spread.
Is that what that is? I guess there are advantages to having your vision go downhill when you get older.
At least the full-of-shit part I could figure out if I was as blind as Stevie Wonder (he's still blind, right?).
Ah, the definition of endless love...Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles playing tennis.
Now THAT is funny.
Are you kidding? I'd pay a FR dollar to see a mermaid spread her legs. Lord knows I've paid more than that and she wasn't even a mermaid.
Mermaids have legs?
I can never figure this one out. A serpent with legs up and spread.
I get your point though Blotto.
Star-BUCKS, the name speaks for itself.
Who the fuck is negging a comment like this?
Here, I'll start the negging of my resonse...
Apparently the spell works.
The music and entertainment field is full of the same.
The power of subliminal advertising.
I'd bitch about the mermaid, too...copyright infringement of family crest.
Of course, ours showed her tits.

Gee, I guess we'll never see The Protocols of the Elders of Zion on the cups, huh?
Once upon a time said mermaid had nipples.
Then people got offended that a mythical feminine form had nipples.
So Starbucks removed the nipples.
And really, that's all you need to know about Starbucks right there.
A couple of decades ago when I worked for *$, the stores had wall coverings FULL of illuminati imagery. It wasn't hidden, it was RIGHT THERE.
Maybe SBUX will debut a '100% ethnically-picked' bean to go along with its '100% ethically sourced' blend.

As long as they're not "Blood Beans" as in 'Blood Diamonds.'
Fuck starfucks and their overpriced coffee. I'll never darken their door again. Oh - is that racist?
Depends on whether you ask for the light or dark roast and WHY!
Does this mean I can or cannot bring my gun into Starhucksters when I order my double mullato?
They banned me and my gun last time ;-)
What kind of liberal, piece of shit coward downvotes this post? Oh yeah, the kind that doesn't have the balls to comment.
Keep up the good work nmewn. Shame the SJWs and call them out for their bullshit at every opportunity.
Evil prospers when good men stand by and do (or say) nothing.
Well, in another blow, the "cafe americano" is gone. It's been replaced by the "cafe sovieto," which is a small cup half-full of plain lukewarm water.
You said, "darken" you must be a racist! I'm gonna tell Jessie and Fat Al!
I'd bet a lot of "folks" just said fuck it to big corporate coffee and will start with the smaller locally owned businesses.
I cannot personally take anymore "racial" drama. I've reached my peak engagement with Big Brother's Love One Another shit.
On one hand it's black people matter, hands up don't shoot and on the other, let's talk about it. Fuck all of ya' Anybody but me think that race relations have gone to shit under the new Black Messiah?
Where the phuck have you been? So you thought this progressive multicultural shit was ever gonna work? Ya can't give $hit away, $hit has to be earned. Phuck all you progressive lily white dip $hits. Too late and you're on your own.
Pants Up! Don't Shoot!
I'll bet the owner of StarSux has never met a negro. Now, I'll admit he's probably seen one on teevee, or in the movies, but never at Temple!
So it's not OK to tell them you take your coffee nigger ????
The "ism" isn't about race. Its about culture - cultureism. And sometimes its rational in its concerns.
I'm keeping track above my visor.. Six trips to Starbucks canceled and I now go to McDonalds for a buck instead of $3 and have decided I can live without a Starbucks $5 Latte. So far I've got the $20 Starbucks would have had. How's that for a successful promotion, Howard?
The gas price savings would have allowed you to splurge last month.
Damn! I already boycotted them because of their anti-Second Amendment stance, and this is a great opportunity to boycott!
Maybe I can get somebody else to do a boycott for me.
It doesn't take much will power to boycott foul tasting burned coffee that cost $4 a cup.
I like my coffee the way I like my women...hot and black!!
I'll not go to the cream joke...
I like my coffee like I like my women... Extra sweet and large.
.... dark and bitter. :)
You're an oil driller, eh?
difrent strokes fo difrent folks!
And infected with genital herpes!

What the fuck is race? Is Obama black when his mother was white? Who cares? It is what you do with your life that matters not what the color of your skin is. This "race" issue is so completely contrived. Trayvon Martin, Rodney King, and Michael Brown are all contrived issues to sell goddamn newspapers. None of the people mentioned would most people would not invite to their homes. They were all criminals.
The media and race baiters all play on this white guilt thing. People fail to realize that in africans owned african slaves. Africans were the ones capturing Africans to sell to Europeans. Now, this has come to fruition with race baiters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson who are keeping their own people down. The Slavery of the Mind continues.
William Randolph Hearst said it right, "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war." In this case, the pictures and videos created a race war.
Look, it's captain phucking obvious.
Al Sharpton? Oh yes, I remember him. He was FBI informant 17.
I just don't like Starbuck's coffee, it's too strong, too bitter, and comes with way too much self-congratulatory snobbery. I find Dunkin' Donuts coffee far more to my liking, it has a mellowness to it that's very comforting and it's always consistent. Even McDonald's coffee is better than Starbucks, in my opinion. I haven't been to a Starbucks in years.
" Starbucks will ... put more stores in minority communities"
Yeah, fucking right. The stockholders would love that. Can you buy Starbucks with an EBT? I honestly dunno.
does this answer your question?
http://benswann.com/you-can-now-pay-for-starbucks-with-food-stamps/
Hmm, no wonder they are putting out racist crapola. Chalky is now subsidizing them for contributing to racial division, err, uhh, appreciation of diversity!
Zionists like the owner are all for dividing the races, but they gotta make some profit on it, too, or it may violate the Talmud!
You can now buy a pizza at Pizza Hut with an EBT card. I shit you not. I saw the sign in the window last week.
That's because Americans have been told pizza is a vegetable now.
"Another Starfucks was robbed again last night on the South Side. Despite the pleas of the Communist/Progressive/Fascist/Zionist owner of Starfucks, the coffee shops in low-income areas have become a favorite of robbers."
Tyrone Jamal, a local cash and carry "businessman" said "I don't know about any race stuff, the only color me an' my crew likes is Green. "where else can you walk in and stroll out with a hot coffee and wad of cash?" he added. "They could improve the food though; some of the snacks don't seem fresh, like they was inna freezer or sumpin. A guy like me is always on the go. I need quick energy food and Starfucks will have to pick it up or lose people of color like me. That would be rayciss."

I’d rather tweeze my pubic hair with my Grandmother’s false teeth than ever enter a StarFucks.
Jesus Fucking Christ… Starbucks thinks they are more than just a cup of coffee! The fucking arrogance is astounding and never ceases to amaze me! Corporate Whores EVERYWHERE trying to lean on human emotions and other idiocracy for sales and to wrest their Yellen from the bottom line.
Starbucks coffee tastes like burned rubber, it's gross, and when I have coffee in the morning I don't go there, and wherever I have coffee, if someone started a conversation about some burning social issue, I'd leave and never return. I don't discuss religion or politics with strangers, and mostly not with friends either. Slogans written on my coffee cup is baiting.
The CEO of Starbucks Howard Shultz is privelaged rich white guy how come he hasn't volunteered to step down or no one has asked for his replacement by a Black, a Hispanic, a woman, or an Asian?
Everyone should call Starbucks and demand that this asshole step down since he likes stirring controversy so much.
I believe that he is a "more equal than some" white.
The banksters need to repay us.
A "hen" to us "ducks."
"how come he hasn't volunteered to step down or no one has asked for his replacement by a Black, a Hispanic, a woman, or an Asian?"
Uh, because he's a Jew?

Dunkin' Donuts has a lot better coffee and it comes without the pretentious bullshit.
They screw it up by putting in too much milk and sometimes brewing it too weak. But I sometimes buy the beans and make it at home. It is good coffee. And if someone tries to write anything on my cup, I can beat the shit out of them with a 2 x 4'.
The thirteenth amendment, abolishing slavery except as punishment for a crime, was passed by the Senate in April 1864, and by the House of Representatives in January 1865.[128] The amendment did not take effect until it was ratified by three fourths of the states, which occurred on December 6, 1865, when Georgia ratified it. On that date, all remaining slaves became officially free
150 motherfucking years ago.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88–352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in theUnited States[5] that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.[6] It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public (known as "public accommodations").
Powers given to enforce the act were initially weak, but were supplemented during later years. Congress asserted its authority to legislate under several different parts of the United States Constitution, principally its power to regulateinterstate commerce under Article One (section 8), its duty to guarantee all citizens equal protection of the laws under theFourteenth Amendment and its duty to protect voting rights under the Fifteenth Amendment. The Act was signed into lawby President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2, 1964, at the White House.
51 motherfucking years ago.
Time to shut the fuck up, and provide for yourself and your families. I don't owe you motherfuckers ANYTHING.
So jog the fuck off.

Imagine how the baristas must have felt having to utter that drivel. The shit that low wage people have to go through working for these corporate clowns isn't enough; now they have to write a corporate lie on a fucking coffee cup to make their all white board of directors feel good about themselves. I don't ever do Starfucks or any other chain, if there's a viable local alternative.
An older friend of mine rendered an entire Starbucks store, and especially the young black punk behind the counter speechless. He engaged the punk in a few questions and when the punk took the bait, sprung the real history of the NAACP on him and everyone else in earshot.
I paraphrase:
"The NAACP was founded in 1909 by Zionists and one token mulatto, W. E. B. Dubois. The Zionists then ran and headed it for the next 66 years. In more ways than one, the so-called "civil rights" movement was really a Zionist pychop, as outlined in "The Protocols of Zion," designed to divide the people, and make clear for plunder. Look at the results for the black community in the cities, the prisons, and in the schools. Look at the result to the country. Who has benefited? And who hasn't? They replaced inequality before the law for one group with legalized plunder, prisons, and poverty for all but a few. And you and me are not of the few."
He said that the store became deafly quiet. Partially from him being so bold in such a sheeple-downed society, but also from those not wanting to appear too in agreement with his sentiments.
Wish that I could have been there.
The banksters need to repay us.
Like he likes to say: "Smack 'em with facts. Stun 'em with truth."
Really?
"The Protocols of Zion,"
Wow, now there is an historical source that everyone should rely on.
He did not cite it as fact or even a source, as its true value lies in the fact that much of what is spelled out therein has been implemented, and/or come about since.
It was also an easy way to hopefully stimulate curiosity and possible research by others instead of the less focused "Google it." Mentioning the Protocols gives anyone so curious a starting point in their research. That is also why he used the NAACP story instead of some diatribe about race, "civil rights," etc.
If it were a fifteen minute speech, he probably would not have mentioned the Protocols, or even the NAACP.
It was also an easy way to sneak Zion into his statement as a sly statement on the CEO of Starbucks.
The banksters need to repay us.
All goyim cattle should read it.
Probably why Schultz dropped his dopey idea.
Go In and order "The Obama", since they won't have a clue tell them. 1/2 coffee and 1/2 hot milk. Heavy on the artificial sweetner.
More like the Manchurian:
Hot water, brown food coloring, artificial flavoring, all covered up with soy whipped topping. I.e. looks like one thing, but is something else entirely.
The banksters need to repay us.
Starbucks was the first company I worked for that taught me that the future of American enterprise is 100% political posturing. THe faggots will push it to the limit.
Starbucks racism is a prime example of what I mean when I say the ability to sell or market an idea exceeds the ability of the people that are purchasing the idea to understand all the complications of what they are buying. Bad and dangerous tech will be deployed simply because it can be sold. Where I live there are no black folk and everyone at Starbucks that has to visit the starbucks site before logging on to the internet can be heard murmuring to themselves, "fuck the black folk, hope we never have another black president, just let me onto the god damn internet, ugh how I hate Starbucks, that's the last time I F'n come here, and so on."
I don't go to Starbucks that often, but the next time there I was to going to stop in and ask why my local store doesn't have any hot slutty Asian gals working at there. I mean if the concept is to discuss race while getting coffee, I want to steer the conversation to my self interest, regardless of what the Starbucks CEO had envisioned.
"and ask why my local store doesn't have any hot slutty Asian gals working at there."
"Now that's funny, I don't care who your are."
The banksters need to repay us.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I need to compalin to the manager of my local Panera about there not being anymore college hotties working there. Used to be several, now none.
Is it ageism or hottie-ism?
