He sent a clear message. We just want to talk about race relations,
we don't want to live next door to them.

Touche!

"If Starbucks wants us to talk about race, let's start with why they don't have Starbucks Coffee Houses in some of America's cities that are mostly black, or have had a racially charged history?

My friend looked up various cities, and found that there are no Starbucks Coffee Houses in many of them.

Places like Highland Park, Michigan, which is at the center of Detroit, is inhabited by a population that is 94 percent African-American. Or in Benton Harbor, Michigan, which is almost 90 percent African-American. There is not a Starbucks in either town."


Ny immediate reacton upon hearing this BS ploy to gain some free
publicity is to now boycott Starbucks, at least for a few months.
I'm not a regular customer, but do go there occasionally. I have
a bag of their coffee that I use every morning, got a good deal on
it at Costco. They do have very good coffee. But who wants to put
up with this BS?

Dennis Miller had it right. He said something along the lines of
what's next, discussing when life begins at Weiner World and your
position on the death penalty at Pizza Hut?

And the above just shows what a bunch of hypocrites they are.
The stockholders should fire that idiot Shultz.

I've been to Starbuck's once -- my brother had a gift card and took me
there and I didn't want to make a big deal of refusing. I don't care for
Schultz's Zionist support let alone the latest ploy.

I don't think the local $tarbux is doing the race thing or I'd walk in
and say "Give me something hot and black just like my favorite ho's"

Hmm,
I just don't like SB coffee taste. One is right next door to my store.
Many times a day, they come into my store holding smart phone,
obviously they were texting without looking where they are going.
I only use their free WiFi from now and then from my store. I get my
coffee if I want a cup, from Tim Horton across the mall.
Watching the people coming and going from SB, I wouldn't be a friend
with any one of them by the looks, not my kind. Very seldom I see black
people coming there.

Starbucks is my coffee of last resort, it tastes charred/burnt to me.

Most black people are a little too smart to buy over-priced, slightly
burnt coffee mixed up into some sort of adult milk beverage.

Apparently, it has ended as quickly as it started......what
a surprise : )

The cups were "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.

Aw, come on. Put on your $200 back pack, grab your $500 iphone and go put a $6 cup of starbucks mud on you gold card. You'll be cool too!
