I admit I haven't done a deep-dive into the facts of this case. But what's been reported by the handful of mainstream news sources where I've read stories about this....I don't see any facts whatsoever that suggest racism. The mere coincidence that the caller was white, and the arrested were black is evidence of nothing except the fact that some people are black, and some people are white.
From what I gather, they asked to use the bathroom and were told that it was for paying customers only. Instead of being decent members of the marketplace and buying a fucking cup of coffee, they decided to insist on an insane premise that they have the right to be on private property for no reason. WTF
And "I'm waiting for my friend" is not a valid reason. Wait for your fucking friend outside cunts.
They were asked to leave multiple times, and refused.
I'd call the cops too.
Starbuck's corporate response is so over-the-top it's almost disgusting. They're clearly incredibly afraid of being characterized as racist and suffering the PR consequences enacted by radical leftist ideologues. They are over-apologizing and deplorably hanging their employee out to dry. And by doing so...they are implicitly validating the claims of racism. And that just makes the identity politics monster even bigger.
