It was later revealed during a six-day trial that another manager of the Philly store, who is black, kept his job — a move Phillips’ attorney, Laura Mattiacci, told jurors was because of his skin color.


After this, the guy who did not get fired is probably pretty upset about keeping his job.

Well you mentioned nothing of the COO in your post so how the hell are we suppose to know who this black lady represents?
He was being disingenuous in the hopes people would comment negatively about the case by posting that picture.

Then he could swoop in and state that the person was actually white.

Lolololol

Good. They’ve been getting away with forced, unchecked white guilt for waaaaaay too long

Bet their diversity training program just got terminated too. I hope all the white people who work at Starbucks try to cash in on whatever “apologize for being white” stuff they have going on there.

A worker who gets killed at work (mostly male) won't get 1/100 of this in workers compensation benefits. It is even less for a severed arm or leg, or going blind due to an on the job inury.

Get fired, recover 100X what you ever would have earned in life.

The system is fricked up.

Well you are making it seem like she’s the one involved when it’s not even a picture from the article you linked.

I’m sitting here wondering why they would fire this black lady over a perceived racial injustice.

consisting of $25 million in punitive damages


Punitive damages is the new way to transfer wealth. If she had been black it would have been $50 million.

For some reason I am thinking this was discussed here before, and it wasn’t as clear cut that Starbucks was in the wrong. She messed something up or played a big part in this situation, but I can’t remember exactly. Might be another situation.
