Starbucks defends ‘race together’ policy. A little quick searching on Google shows no Starbucks in blighted areas like 98th and MacArthur or 85th and International Blvd in Oakland, CA (and most of the rest of Oakland), Ferguson, MO, Southside Chicago, IL, East St. Louis, IL, Compton, CA, the Hunter’s Point/Bayview areas in San Francisco, CA, Richmond, CA (except a couple of safe areas by the freeway) and we’d bet other blighted areas if we knew where they were.
We have to ask the CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz why he’s so racist? Really? You don’t have Starbucks stores in blighted areas with high minority populations yet you point the finger at your customers and much of the country? What an effing hypocrite.
