Two black men come into a Starbucks and ask to use the restroom. The manager tells them that they must buy something first. They refuse, and sit down at a table. The manager calls the cops and has them arrested for trespassing. They are later released with no charges.
Cellphone video of the arrest goes viral. Human rights groups are livid. Charges of racism are weaponized by the legacy media to target a company and its employees. As a result, the CEO of Starbucks apologizes to the “victims” personally and closes 8,000 stores for “racial bias training”.
Starbucks gets what it deserves for being so stridently politically correct, but I don’t believe the Starbucks incident had anything to do with racism.
I can see how these incidents happen, because they have happened to me. I have been unfairly ignored, hassled and insulted (in my perception) by clerks and store managers for no apparent reason. Perhaps it was because I was young and vulnerable or looked angry. If I were black, I certainly would have thought it was due to racism.
