But at least, it raises awareness of the biggest problem plaguing this country...race relations.

Then why has the president and those of his ilk, done nothing but pour gasoline on the fire for the past six years?

Dumbest idea ever.

Expensive coffee and lectures.

Sounds like a plan.

The worst part of waking up

I'm home schooling my hot drinks....
I making them better all by myself


I just cannot imagine being a minimum wage employee expected to work the crowd for the political racial motivations of my wealthy employer

As many have said
Time for Dunkin donuts

Dollars vote

Don't see tanning parlors in black neighborhoods.

But there are plenty of tattoo parlors

Good point about the staff because I bet not all are buying into this.

And if I went there for coffee, I sure wouldn't want any more handling of that cup than was necessary. Especially after reading about the colonies of germs found on cup lids.

The Starbucks Director of Communications has deleted his twitter account. LOL

Apparently he really isn't ready to talk about it.

I sure hope he will be handing those cups out in Ferguson. They could use a lecture.
