It was reported that some white customers were sticking up for them and, among other things, saying that they (the white customers sticking up for them) were allowed to use the bathroom without buying anything and without any subsequent consequences. The company can have a policy that some customers might not like, but they can't apply it inconsistently among people of different races. I'm guessing both the city and the company could possibly have smelled a lawsuit that would involve Title II of the Civil Rights Act and, as such, both did the smart thing and settled.
And they didn't pretend or come up with excuses. They just acknowledged it and addressed it. That's what I want to see, acknowledge it, fix it and be done.
They stayed when they were asked to leave. That is a crime.
Why were they asked to leave when they were meeting someone for coffee and others are allowed to do the same? Obviously Trump supporters are going to say the white are persecuted, the white are discriminated against and they will vote for Trump. I don't expect anything different. We learned a lot with the election of Obama, the election of Trump and Charleston. For those of us who don't agree with Trump and his supporters, we will obviously be voting for someone else. And I would be fine with voting for Howard Schultz if he wins the Democratic primary.
You know what my problem is with this, though? We've heard nothing from the fired employee, which is curious in itself.
But what motivation would those white customers (who were sticking up for the black guys) have to lie ?....
A sudden desire to be some type of SJW who dismisses what he/she has genuinely experienced?..... To me, that doesn't seem likely. What seems most likely (to me) is that those white customers would be reacting with sharing what had actually been the personal scenario for each of them.

To support/rationalize their beliefs about "the system?" I asked myself the same question regarding the Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin cases when you had "witness" after "witness" supporting already published narratives, only to be disproved by the actual forensic or other evidence.
there will be no shortage of interesting democrat presidential candidates if even half the democrats contemplating a run actually do run. the republicans had 17 choices and nominated a political outsider in 2016. it isn't a stretch to think the dems could do the same in 2020.
