So pride day, not inclusive. Got it, thanks.

‘Americans are riled up over the increasingly complex and disturbing political nightmare that has been unfolding every day for the the past 18 months’

You must live in a very interesting bubble. Not many riled up people in my bubble, and certainly non-jumping on the plastic strand wagon because they are over burdened

Nope... Another example from very recently.

Hmm, ‘of course, not true’. Well, not, but sorta, but maybe. Not saying I wouldn’t have done the same. Not sure he had options. But might was well but the interview up, so that everyone can make up their own mind..

Please, just stop. We need to do better, not keep spinning the wheel. So as counter I offer....

I agree with you 100%. But where does that take us. I mean, be honest. The Root certainly ‘vibes’ bigoted toward white people. Should I refuse to do business with anyone who advertises here? There are a couple of Army banners currently at the top of my page. Should I take screen shots and go visit my congressman and

So let’s look at what the options were.

Starbucks could have done nothing.
Starbucks could have done this training and tried to facilitate change at their own expense.
Starbucks could file for bankruptcy and close.

Unless you insist on option 3, option 2 is the best available. 

Yea, I’m not going with the privileged thing. We just had a black man demand his reparations coffee from Starbucks and get it. We could make a list a mile long of both black and whites making demands of restaurants that are absurd from an outsiders point of view.

‘go back to Mexico’ clearly bigoted, clearly wrong.

That’s nuts. How can a cashier tell someone they can’t pay for someone else!

She has a right to her opinion regardless of how absurd it is, but keep your mouth shut and do your job. Ring the goods and take the payment, be polite.

Did he use his athletic privilege or his wealth privilege to park across multiple handicapped spots? 

Ah, the ‘things are so bad’ I can’t be a decent person argument.

That’s exactly what happened.

Right, and when Holder refused to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation, the members of Obama’s based loved it and the Trump based called racism. Get over it.

The courts just ruled that you can refused people service because of the hat they wear. The gate swings both ways, you just don’t like it if it hits you in the a$$.

Ya know who has it really easy these days? Bar owners who the courts say can refuse service based on the hat your wear. You can’t have it both ways. Either discrimination is OK regardless of criteria, or it’s not.

Thank you so much for using your black privilege to blacksplain how you want white people to think and act.

I hope the dude files a discrimination charge against James. If the cake must be baked then the towel must be thrown.

In the interest of equality, would you please write up #roofingwhilewhite next.

People said his North Korea strategy wouldn’t work either, and yet real progress is being made. Let’s give this a try.

People fleeing persecution should apply for status in the first country they arrive in.

Mr. Zimmerman is hispanic, not caucasian. Please direct your bigotry to the appropriate race.
