Dorkington Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's mostly honkies at mine, and my neighborhood's primarily hispanic and black. Maybe Starbucks practices desegregation. funny how that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Weird...I just stopped at Starbucks to check this whole thing out and the young girl wrote this on my cup "Please Help Me Get out of Here...Hurry!"

Maury Ballstein Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 folgers and maxwell house don't ever say a thing to me and charge a fraction. Get bent Starbucks, I'm all good on the racism and saving rainforests for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I hate white. I think they should do away with white tee shirts and I think they should do away with black trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) If I ever went to a Starbucks, I'd tell the hipster doofus behind the counter: "F You. Just give me my coffee," Edited March 18, 2015 by Wacka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 My wife is a frequent Starbucks patron. Our son and I went out running errands on Sunday. She asked me to stop and get her some venti machiatto caramel something or other. 24 !@#$ing minutes and you bet your ass I timed it. 24 minutes waiting for a !@#$ing ice coffee.

Beerball Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I consider anything that will prompt healthy, productive conversation regarding racism a good idea, personally. Tim Tebow said exactly that just yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowgirlsFan Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Not a Starbucks fan and rarely go. This is a horrible idea. Most that go want a quick in and out ( re gungy's 24 minutes ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Tim Tebow said exactly that just yesterday. No ... Tim Tebow said something like, "I'm a try real hard. I'm a work real hard. And I'm a make Coach Meyer real proud again. And again. And again. And again ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Paper insulators. LoL... That sounds so utilitarian. Come on Starbucks, come up w/something hip! And write the message on of those bad boys! ;-) Just have the messages permanently printed on the cup and and insulators... There would be no avoiding it! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just what I want to do first thing in the morning. Waste time talking social issues with a brainwashed, trendy hipster while annoying people behind me in line waiting for their coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) maybe Starbucks has a point...You think? It was almost 40 years ago... But back in BFLO they were taking (jokingly) "donations" to buy bullets for the .22 Killer. Remember the 22 caliber killer in BFLO? I guess racism happens everywhere... BUT, @ the Knights of Columbus? My father was so disgusted, he dropped out of the organization. And here is is a guy (my father) who was practically lynched for holding a door open for a black woman in The South during the Civil Rights movement in the 1960's... Sure it was only 20 years later... And now it is almost 40 years later... But come on, the seeds where there then and are still there now, just pushed more undercover for the most part. What do you think of the OK University fraternity thing? Something deep inside me hopes it was all made up, most likely it wasn't. To say racism is not bad, is naive. It's just been pushed undercover for the most part. That's Starbucks point. Nobel... But won't fly well... You see the replies here. I can't say, I want to be bothered either. BUT, I certainly don't want hide my head in the sand. Edited March 18, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The trolls will be coming out to Starbucks in droves. I'm totally doing this just to make them uncomfortable, and then find a way to accuse them of being a racist, and accuse them of calling me a racist.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 A cup of coffee ain't gonna fix that nutbag. Of course it won't! Nobody is saying it will. Open dialog is never a bad thing though, IMO. The trolls will be coming out to Starbucks in droves.

Still has to be broached. Sad if the mob wins out either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you enjoy Jehovah's witnesses approaching you at your house, or in the park to talk about Jesus, or does it make you uncomfortable. Is that to say you're not Christian, or that you hate people that are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
