Every mental hospital entrance sign should be turned around backwards so you know when you’re actually entering the loony-bin.

How many Starbucks are there in Ferguson, Mo?Three are bordering the town, in Florissant, Jennings, and Hazelwood, but none in Ferguson proper.

“Let’s talk race relations!”
Me: “OK. I’m 1/64th Native American, which means that if you and your ilk hadn’t come over and raped my great, great grandmother I’d be, like, full Native American.
And by the way, this shop wouldn’t be here - my house would be. In fact, you’re standing in my kitchen, and since you brought it up, I’d like it back. Today. Right now. Please leave. Now.”

How many Starbucks in the riot-damaged neighborhoods of Ferguson, Missiouri? Paying it forward, are they?

Hey, Starbucks CEO, how about you send your baristas into the inner city McDonald’s and have them ask the folks about race.
We’ll have more video than we can watch before the day is over.

If I was a normal non-minority person not holding a [Blank] Studies degree working at Starbucks I would be petrified. Imagine some customer actually wants to talk and you say the wrong thing or is misunderstood. You are risking your job.

Barista : Good Morning Sir! My, that is a beautiful Fro you have. How may I help you?
Customer: Coffee, Black.
Barista : You mean without cream?
Customer: uh, yeah. Black?
Barista: OK, without cream. We don’t say the B word anymore.
Customer: the what?
Barista : “B” word. You know…
Customer: Can I just get my coffee?
Barista : Of course Sir. Right away. Just trying not to offend anyone and help improve race relations like our great President has been trying to do.
Customer: Obama? WTF, you talking about. He ain’t done S### for anyone but his own half-white ass.
Barista: Oh I think he is wonderful and I hope Michelle runs for office
Customer: Forget the coffee

We at Starbucks should be willing to talk about these issues in America
How about talking about the disproportionate crime rate; dropout rate; welfare rate, etc?

Hey, I have an idea.
It already takes forever to get a cup of coffee or some pretentious sandwich thingy.
Let’s slow the line down and get involved in highly contentious conversations.

For those who go to starbucks they should ask about Race....
“Hey, so when is the next Nascar race?”

Bought a coffee at starbucks exactly ONCE.
The coffee at the local truck stop and 7-11 are an order of magnitude better, and cheaper. And as a bonus, those places don’t adulterate their coffee with liberal bile.

Someone should ask why are there no Starbucks in the ghetto?
