They weren’t arrested for existing as black people, but for trespassing in breach of a reasonable policy. Sheesh! Ridiculous idiots. Except that it’s all racist, leftist agitprop identity politics.”

Exactly. Race hustlers are promoting the new narrative that they were arrested for being black in Starbucks. Sadly even a local conservative talk show host started his show with that premise.

I heard you can no longer order “black coffee” at Starbucks, that now you must order “without whitener.”

Notice how it’s always white people that need training when in reality blacks need training in how to obey rules, behave in public, and interact with police.

The left is always looking for ways to “prove” that the country is irreparably racist and that the only solution is to take all of Whitey’s money, and then eliminate Whitey.
They found it in the incident at a Starbucks. They are looking now, and always, for additional incidents which they can splash all over the news and say “see, Whitey is racist! we gotta take all his money and then get rid of Whitey!”.

Can anyone address the time period involved with the black guys in the Starbucks? Were they there 15 minutes prior to being asked to leave, an hour, half a day? I believe that makes a difference as to whether they were loitering illegally or just behaving as a normal customer.
I have searched in vain through all the msm articles I can find, but nowhere is the time stated. It is obviously known to the police, to the Starbucks and probably to the msm, but no one seems to want to publish.
It will either help or hurt with the accusations of racism and I think deserves to be published.

The time frame really doesn’t matter. They were in an urban Starbucks with a no-loitering policy. Which is a self-defense mechanism for urban businesses of all sorts, else they get inundated with urban outdoorsmen. Which is bad for business, very few paying customers want to sit next to a stinky drug/alcohol addicted / mentally ill person.

They were occupying a table, hadn’t ordered anything, were asked to become customers or leave.

They refused.

Cops were called, cops asked them to leave, they refused again.

They got arrested.

This isn’t that hard.

If a manager had told a white person to leave, and that white person would not leave, and then the police told the white person to leave, and he argued and refused to leave, he would be arrested too. That is how it works. I swear, this was a set-up.

At this point, any white person working for Starbucks is a fool. Get the heck out of that nut house.

“Starbucks Shelters”

So that is the plan.
They can now get govt funding for helping the homeless.

I heard it was to be called "Non-racist coffee".

training meant to address demonstrated racial bias...

Begging the question. Nonsense.

The arrest of Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson for simply existing as Black men...

Trespass, refusing to leave, when requested by store personnel, then the police.

a society that is structured to drive inequitable outcomes and experiences for people of color.

Pony pellets.

All these lies are based on a web of lies. Don't be a punk, and odds are you won't be treated like one.

I have no more patience for these lies.

"The arrest of Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson for simply existing as Black men"

The lack of reasoning to write such a statement deserves a participation certificate. However, the writer still gets flunked and needs to be held back a year.
