Many community members are hurt by what happened last week. Protesters started gathering outside the Starbucks at 18th and Spruce Streets around 7 a.m. They eventually moved inside the coffee shop, calling for the company to change a policy they believe is racist.


Because they were arrested just for being black.

Also the employees who called the cops are being forced to take an “unconscious bias” course

Reserving your facilities for paying customers and prohibiting loitering is racist?

Or does Starbucks have a corporate policy to call the police on any black person that enters their store?

Apparently every restaurant in a major city is now racist. Especially the McDonald’s on canal st in New Orleans.

I saw the video... pretty sure the girl who said they couldn't use the bathroom was Hispanic.. I would have marched with arms locked if she was white...

Well, Howard Schultz launched a 'Let's talk about race' campaign at Starbucks. Now he's getting a discussion.

, come on.

Starbucks allows more loitering than the corner 7-11. The manager decided to disallow it in this case.

As to why he did it, I'm not sure, but race is a possibility.

I am willing to bet it wasn't just a loitering issue.

Apparently one guy asked to use the bathroom and was told only paying customers could use the bathroom? Then a guy came out of the bathroom who hadn't purchased anything?

I'm not sure - the facts are hard to come by in these incidents.
