Sooo this whole thing could’ve been resolved if management said “sorry ladies, the bathrooms are closed”. Instead of letting them enter the bathroom, then getting annoyed when they didn’t, presumably, all piss at lightspeed and leave in some pre-determined time frame they didn’t know about.

Half of the people criticizing this Starbucks boycott will themselves be boycotting Starbucks eight months from now when the new holiday cups come out and they don’t have Jesus on them or something.

Because the mere SUGGESTION that their Pumpkin Spice Lattes may be threatened is damned near as threatening as taking a knee

Well, as I said in the original comment, 99.999999% of the calls were nothing. Which implies that .000001% were something.

That’s awful? Do you have any idea what was going through your sick neighbors head when she called the police? Did you not smile back or some equally stupid bullshit? I’m curious about her messed up thought process.

When my son was threatening suicide by jumping, the cops came in full tactical gear with rifles they pointed at him. Since my son is white he survived this encounter. But the lesson the family learned is- Emergency services are not there to help. They are there to maintain order. He made two subsequent attempts on his…

So many Black (male) celebrities will side with white supremacy in many situations I’ve noticed. They need that PAYCHECK and they need their white fans TO KNOW.

I joined nextdoor just so I could find out who my racist white neighbors were.

I’m sorry that happened to you, & I hope it never happens again - apparently the racist trash “neighbors” want you out of their safe zone so bad that they’re willing to have the cops evict you -in a body bag. I hope you can find a better neighborhood to live in.

They are also all over nextdoor.com reporting every Black person who walks through the neighborhood as ‘suspicious’. Never the white kids though...

Kevin needs to go sit his Black Lucky Charms ass down somewhere.

I’m sorry, and I’ll probably get dragged for this but I find it difficult to get too emotionally invested in the plight of a Black man who experiences racial terrorism at the hands of a white woman he’s in a relationship with.

After moving to a Philly suburb for work. I was in my residence for about 4 months.

I guess his initial hot take didn’t get the support he’d have hoped.

Ever since I moved away from my (extremely white) home state I’ve had to consciously remind myself not to call the cops for things. Back when I lived in VA whenever someone would call the cops for minor things at my apartment complex (which was largely POC) they would send no less than 3 cop cars and 6 cops for what,…

I used to work for 911 and I quickly lost count of the number of people who called to report a suspicious black person. When asked what made them suspicious, the caller would always say “well, they’re black” or “they don’t belong in this neighborhood” or something along those lines. 99.999999% of the time, said person…

“Calling the police is the epitome of escalation, and calling the police on black people for noncrimes is a step away from asking for a tax-funded beatdown, if not an execution.”
