Racism Should End Soon Now That Starbucks Has Their Baristas Tackling It

I really wish more people had listened to Newt about the moon base.


Not only can Starbucks baristas make the perfect latte for customers, now CEO Howard Schultz is encouraging them to discuss how to improve race relations in America at the same time.

The topic is often taboo in corporate America, but over the past few months, the company has held open forums for workers to talk about race. They have taken place in cities where racial tensions have recently run high, including Oakland, Los Angeles, St. Louis, New York and Chicago, as well as at corporate headquarters in Seattle.

The forums are “not to point fingers or to place blame, and not because we have answers, but because staying silent is not who we are,” Schultz said.

He wants the conversations to continue, and to involve Starbucks customers, too.

The company ran full-page ads in The New York Times and USA Today this week announcing its initiative “Race Together.” Baristas in cities where forums have been held began writing the slogan on customers’ cups last week, aiming to spark a dialogue.

Schultz’s contention that we aren’t talking about race enough in Obama’s America is laughable. I’m trying to think of anything that’s happened in the last six years that libs didn’t tie to race.

If, however, we were in need of a conversation, it wouldn’t need to be led by the people charged with making sure my latte doesn’t suck. I am a political animal and one of the ways I maintain what little sanity I have is by taking deliberate breaks from the issues of the day, both large and small. When I leave the house for coffee I do it expressly to avoid dealing with much of the real world. I am certainly not interested in what the local espresso slinger imagines are his deep thoughts on divisive issues.

They’re ruining sports for me. Now they’re ruining coffee. If Archer does a “very special episode” about global warming, I’m outta here.

I went to a Fourbucks one time in my life. It was in a trendy section of Manhattan. Let me tell you, it is the most overrated coffee shop ever.

The service was slow, the coffee nothing to write home about, and the bill was outrageous.

Now they want to lecture me about race relations? I don't think so.

I actually like the Starbuck's product but to borrow a phrase:  "Shut up and brew!"

The owner is a far left lunatic, but don't kid yourselves. He's worried Sharpless will do a shake down or he fears Soros morons doing a "Black Lives Matter" crap appearance.
These billionaires only feign concern, they're all about their....well, billions.
