The CEO of Starbucks, who was scorned for his recent effort to spark a national conversation on race, is planning to meet with the family of Dontre Hamilton, the African-American man killed by a Milwaukee police officer last year after Starbucks employees called to report him sleeping in Red Arrow Park, according to Hamilton's brother and others close to the family.
Nate Hamilton said Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is scheduled to meet with the family on April 1 in Milwaukee. Efforts to reach the Seattle-based company Tuesday and Wednesday to confirm the visit were not successful.

This guy needs to heed the First Rule of Holes. Stop digging.
He’s doing a bang up job alienating many of his customers. Is he trying to bankrupt the company?
Maybe the family of Dontre Hamilton will ask this white bread cracker why the top executives at Starbucks are all white men? Ask him why there are no Starbucks in Ferguson, Selma, and thousands of other black neighborhoods?
Ask him if he’s paid his fair share shakedown money to the revrunt Al?
I hope they rake his rich azz over the coals for being a dutch bag.
Starbucks...can’t place it...hmm...isn’t that the company that used to sell beverages to me?
How has the board not ousted this idiot?
A few million from Schulz ought to repay the grieving family who lost a future rapper.
I certainly hope he is doing this trip in an armored car.
I left Milwaukee in Feb of 1964 & it was an unsafe hell hole then. Never went back. Never intend to do so.
"a dutch bag", haha. Not being grammar police, laughing as if its intentional.
Talk about a moral ‘preener.’ This guy wants to run for office.
Hey Schultz — the cops kill homeless whites too you stupid race baiting liberal ahole.
Calling the cops is almost always a bad idea.
I can safely say I have never spent a dime in Starbucks. I have been inside. I just can’t bring myself to spend $5 for a cup of ‘African American’ coffee or a $3 glass of hot water for some tea. Now. I am certainly glad i have never spent a penny on that brand.

You know, you don’t have to buy the most expensive item on the menu. I can get a cup of coffee for $1.50 at the local Starbucks and that’s the same price for coffee at several other local coffee shops.
It’s a gaming term to get around language detectors.
A term of art, so to speak.
