They were arrested for using a rest room while black – that is an offence punishable by death – the fact that they made it out alive is what Black Privilege looks like.
We are getting better with this as a whole…but it is taking so, so long. MLK was assassinated 50 years ago, and Bobby Kennedy also. these men stood for a life in America where this type of selective citizenship would not occur, tragically 50 years later, it happens daily. Today we still would rather kill the messenger…and criminalize the African-American.
If you drink your “coffee” before your friend arrives, you’ll DEFINITELY need to hit the restroom (then you’ll lose your table, and your friend will think YOU haven’t arrived yet).

Starbucks is overpriced coffee for people who pretend they are the 1%. I doubt they really like the average white person in their establisments.

Exactly HOW SMART do you expect someone that will pay $5.00 for a CUP OF COFFEE to be?

Sad that some people feel that their status is determined by their race, age, or wealth rather than their accomplishments.

If Starbucks is that racist they shouldn’t serve their coffee black!

Not being up on the latest trends, I made the mistake of going into a Starbucks for the first time and ordering a cup of coffee…..
