Maybe your posts are long to hide your words of b.s.

How much you wanna bet?

My explanation was to get into the bathroom.

(Today) Torrence California Starbucks: Manager denies Black male code to bathroom because he has not ordered. Same Black male notices white patron leaving bathroom and then goes to counter to order. Oh oh!!!

That's dumb. Stop ignoring the issues of race on this country. Wow!!

And you need to realize, race matters. Stop ignoring it.

I find it interesting that YOU can't admit there was an unconscious bias moment by the manage (but that's your issue). Most of the Starbucks I've visited have always been out of town. There are usually people there on their computers and everyone there don't always have a cup on their table. Have you ever attended Starbucks near a college campus? Pay attention nt time. It's a spot where people meet.

Race plays a big part in our lives. Stop trying to minimize race problems in this country. This makes you a part of the problem.

Tigers 2010, the problem with your last statement is that some people IN POWER aren't comfortable with change. This Starbucks incident is just another example of a person overreacting with policies from their corporate office. True story : Me and 3other friends stopped at a Waffle House near Orange several years ago. We were asked to pre-pay for our meals. I asked the white customers did they pre-pay. And we already know what their answer was, even though they hesitated with their answers. The security guard stands behind me as if I am a threat. Anyway, my Negro friends persuade me to just get up and walk out and we leave. But that incident could have gone many different ways (legally, physically, etc). More to the story but I'll stop there. This stuff happens.

AggiesAreNot, hey buddy, long time no hear from and thanks for defining my status quote

Maybe you are passing for white! But I am not faulting the police. Starbucks WILL review their policies, trust me. That's an individual management call. For all we know, that employee is a regular participant on the political forum, and we know how you people are...

Huh? Oh lawd! You are correct. HF said my son would not start until senior year. I got upset. Thanks for reminding me. And in college, I got upset because he was the starting guard and played over 20 minutes a game.

LOL! Good question! Based on my racial bias, I know he can't jump.

I don't hate "you people". Ask Nash. He is my token white brother.

You left out something: "You were not waiting for a friend!! You don't leave an establishment when you are waiting for a friend. That's your right and expectations as a potential customer. When I was in Minneapolis a few years ago, I had to explain to a Starbucks employee I was a potential customer waiting for my order, that my wife had already ordered.

They don't live in reality when it comes to race. Probably some hidden suppressed issues they are holding onto.

I can be racially bias. I don't live in denial like yall. Yep, the answer would be they would have been allowed to sit there and wait for their friend.

More denial about race and culture.

Your whole statement is full of denial and lack of reality concerning racial bias in this country.

This doesn't make sense. Most whites won't attend or stay at events where they are in the minority. The group didn't have to single out whites.

I predict Trump will be all over Twitter tonight berating Comey.

Trump reminds me of the kid who takes his basketball with him because nobody would pick him to play the next game.

Now, the doorman saying Trump has love child. More scandal to deal with now.
