If this is the worst racism we can find in 2018, the problem is over.

A friend said only Eric Holder can separate left wing retailers from their victims.

"These two men spent 25 minutes not ordering and caused the other patrons to feel uncomfortable." Who? Certainly not the lady who spoke about it to the news and provided most of the video footage. If they were two white guys waiting for a friend (which was exactly the case here), would we even be having this discussion? Cheers to Starbucks for firing the dips*** who called 911.

We wouldn't be having this conversation if the black men ordered coffee or waited outside either. It's the Left and media that cries racism everytime situations like this happen. What they don't report is that other races, religious people, and cultures experience things like cyberbullying, fat shaming, reverse discrimination, and so on... Starbucks isn't a racist business. Some workers may be racist. But then again compare small number of instances against over 8,000 stores and 175,000 employees as Rob stated. Bottom line is that they were loitering.The store Mgr should have just kicked them out. Btw, calling 911 when you feel in danger is not a crime. The person fired can legally sue Starbucks.

Was there a severe lack of public meeting places in the area? A private company can ask anyone to leave at any time, no reason given, just like a woman can turn down an advance and ask a guy to leave, no reason given. If that was not the case, what's to stop squatters moving in, stating "we haven't yet made up our mind what to order", or moving into YOUR garage stating "haven't yet made up my mind on making an outrageous bid on that car".

"No reason given" or "reason kept to one self" is an important part of freedom of speech, the other side of that golden coin if you prefer to think of it that way. Though in this era when people post even pictures of their hemorroids online I guess that's becoming easy to forget. When a private company asks someone to leave their property without telling them why they're within their democratic rights and actually using their own freedom of speech in it's non-speech version. Unless the law says that you're explicitly compelled to state your reasons, then you're not!

Business Sign: We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone! AFAIK, it still stands. There are also limited seating signs in many food and drink places with a time limit posted. My local Starbucks is booming most days. IMO, the two black gentlemen lacked common sense. You don't "hang" at a Starbucks without buying what they sell.

"Business Sign: We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone! AFAIK, it still stands. There are also limited seating signs in many food and drink places with a time limit posted. My local Starbucks is booming most days." This means what in the context of this conversation? Betcha you closet KKKrs won't take the time to read the entire news story I have conveniently linked for you. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/04/the-starbucks-arrests-and-the-toll-of-routine-bias.html Have a good night.

"One patron who spoke with WPTI-TV confirmed that the incident began after the men were refused access to the restroom, but she claimed that the Starbucks manager did not ask the men to buy something or leave, and just called the police instead. She also said that she had seen a white woman obtain the code for the bathroom without buying something right before the men were arrested, and that during the incident, another person in the Starbucks announced that she had been sitting in the location for hours without purchasing anything. The witness told WPTI-TV that the two men were just chatting quietly while they waited in the Starbucks, and that they remained calm during the entire ordeal. “These men were discriminated against and unjustly detained,” she asserted. Melissa DePino, who tweeted the original video, also told Philadelphia Magazine that she was sitting very close to the men, and didn’t even notice them until the police arrived and confronted them. “They never did anything remotely aggressive,” DePino added.

^ have you even considered that this lady's story is her own POV? Reports from the flipside state the the men tried to use the restroom without a purchase and were denied due to company policy which is nothing out of the ordinary. Restrooms are for customers only. Second, the Mgr asked them to leave. They refused. Third, there were multiple 911 calls since the first one came in at 4:37 pm and the police unit was not sent until 5 pm which is 23 minutes later. It was the Police that didn't try to resolve the situation and who were the ones coming up and making the arrests directly. So please make sure you understand all the facts first. The store policy is correct for all people and the two men chose by free will to not order but loiter instead. They could have easily spent a few dollars for coffee and used the restroom and waited as paying customers. They need to take responsibility for their own actions. All the leftwing media does is overhype these incidents and cry racism once again. I have been in the same situation as a white disabled person and paid for a drink, used the restroom, and got on with my day. Are you saying they couldn't???

If you see "closet KKKrs" anywhere here, you're a paranoid racist; and if you hear dog whistles, that's because you're a harlot's whelp. Kind of amusing to watch you leftard hypocrites cannibalize each other as part of your (inherently racist) identity politics in far left racist hate rags like the NY Rag (for one), but you paranoid nutjobs who see closeted cross burners in every weather report have no moral standing to lecture the rest of us about racism.

Your source, in a link? Brightfart, likely.

News report and interviews say "The men feared for their lives?" The greatest threat to any black man is... wait for it... another black man. Let's talk black-on-black crime in America instead of Starbucks! Oh no! White man uses logic again! They should have bought some coffee. None of this would've happened.
