Starbucks Racist Arrest Of Two Black Men At Philadelphia Store (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

I dont buy they high azz coffee anyways but at least theyre gonna train them not to pick on someone who being black. Im black and first time i went into starbucks to ask for a job application, they rushed me out of there. I tried not to think too much into it. I really just wanted to come out smelling like coffee haha. Screw them

[ThisAndThat]

Notice how the lady said she sat there the other day for an hour and nobody asked her to leave? Well she's a she, DUH! This is race baiting pure and simple. You can bet they'd ask snow white to leave too if show white was a he. If anything I'll go with gender biased not racial profiling.

"Racist arrest"
They're arrested for trespassing, not for being black.

"Men arrested on the basis of their race."
Again, no. It's like everyone is being stupid on purpose. I think people fucking love the idea that it's flat out racism, it either validates their persecution or it validates them as the 'one of the good ones.'

"found nothing about the incident excusable"
Except for the trespassing?

"did nothing wrong"
Except for the trespassing?

I think it's the manager's fault not the company since it's just a name. The manager should have at least warned the men that she was going to call the police. Who knows what lies she told 911 so they'd come over.
I heard the officers didn't even read them their rights!

I've been asked to leave places of business before for not purchasing their product and/or requesting access to the bathroom. Know what happened? I left.

[xXiTacoXx]

You do know it's not apart of Starbucks policy to kick someone out just for being in a store without purchasing right? Do you also know that they were waiting for a business partner to arrive before they were going to order right? I guess not knowing the entire story would cloud your judgement.

[NYCQuestions1976]

@xXiTacoXx I know the whole story. From beginning to end, the whole situation was too perfect, like it was staged. Only a matter of time before it comes out that it was a setup.

[Rembos]

Well it sure is fucked up what SB did, put why are people puttin on the blame and the hurt on the police? Sure there are problems with cops in the States, but these guys got a phonecall. Came in, and took those boys with them without making a big fuss. Those policemen just did their job.

[Waffles731]

I'm surprised they didn't arrest the barista cause Starbucks prices are basically robbery

[feelinrandy14]

This!

[pooper89]

lmao yep

[pooper89]

Were they wearing thug clothing and did they look like thugs? Would they have been arrested had they both been wearing a suit and tie and carrying briefcases?

[harr1son]

Thug clothing? You saw the pictures, they weren't wearing bandanas or gang related clothing. They were normally dressed like any normal people. And even if they were wearing suggestive clothing, if their actions were not threatening then they should not have been arrested. You are the type of racist to use stereotypes against muslim people just because of a turban, or call the cops on black people for the sake of them being black.

[Lovi87]

@harr1son You clearly didn't understand shit that she just said. How is she racist when she's defending them?

[Liisjak]

You gotta start making examples of freeloaders at some point. If they arrested a white dude, then the blacks would feel emancipated for not being the center of attention.

[madhatters4]

emancipated (freed) for not being the center of attention?

[tearsdescending]

@Liisjak what kind of statement was that, people are not even trying anymore, tell this statement to your mom because I am not catering to your stupidity, honestly.

[imwithstupid]

I couldn't disagree more. I can't imagine being in a business and refusing to leave when asked. How many times were they asked? They should still be in jail. Has nothing to do with race. the cop was black, I guess you can fire him for racism, lol

[didigo182]

You guys are talking about racism?

[looneymalooney]

here is how it goes and how it will go.

you: here is evidence
Me: you're racist.
you: what? look at facts and evidence and here they are. (gives links and documentation).
Me: you're racist. (screaming)

Society: Me wins, because he called the "racism" card.

[Landshrk0068]

If I'm not mistaken a business has the right to refuse service, to pretty much anyone they want for any reason they want.

[Arne123123]

They arn't even refusing service, they told them to leave if they arn't going to buy anything as the seats are for customers. And they didn't want to buy anything or leave.

[Landshrk0068]

@Arne123123 Yeah, they have the right to tell them that. Starbucks isn't a park or public library. Did they fuck up and not tell the white female doing the exact same thing to leave, yeah, that's bullshit. But they are well with their legal right to ask them to leave.

[Waftpermidgeon]

The Starbucks manager wasn't fired, She was transferred to a different location to reduce any publicity for her. She can't be fired because she followed procedure in calling 911.

[Greatcat]

the men were rude as fuck and basically begged to be arrested

[Greatcat]

they refused to buy anything, wanted to meet for a business deal, insulted the workers, used the bathroom without buying anything after told not to, basically broke all the rules and wouldn't leave when asked.

Shut the fuck up useful idiot goddamit

[Anonymous]

Why do we assume every time something happens to a black person today that it was "racially motivated"? That is getting really fucking old, really fucking fast.

[jacquesvol]

I didn't like Starbucks because of its prices.
Iwill like it even less now.

[SirBarristanSelby]

I'm not going to comment except to say this is very skewed reporting.

[DECarter89]

Some people think its not a race thing. so people think it's probably a race thing... but at the end of the day. Who right?
