"If Starbucks wants us to talk about race, let's start with why they
don't have Starbucks Coffee Houses in some of America's cities that are
mostly black, or have had a racially charged history?

Places like Highland Parkhttp://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/search/location/Highland Park, Michigan, Michigan, which is at the center of Detroit, is inhabited by a population that is 94 percent African-American. Or in Benton Harbor, Michigan, which is almost 90 percent African-American. There is not a Starbucks in either town.

There is not a Starbucks in East St. Louis, Illinois, in which 98 percent of the population is African-American. Nor is there one in Gary,Indiana, whose population is 85 percent African-American.

The recent remembrance of the march on Selma, Alabama had the president walking down the street with many people who fought
for civil rights, but once again, Selma doesn't have a Starbucks.
Neither does Ferguson, Missouri."http://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/search/location/Ferguson, Missouri

Re: Obviously Black people are smarter than other races

I don't, I buy Costco's House Blend which is roasted by Starbucks. Even when do buy at a Starbucks I never pay five bucks for a grande.

That must explain the afflictions of an entire continent and Detroit.

Good call.

I think all races are equally as stupid ............. especially NASCAR.

Not sure what the question is here....

Poor places don't have Starbucks. Probably won't find a Saks Fifth Avenue or Neiman Marcus either.

It shouldn't take much to figure it out.........

Comparing Starbucks to Saks or Neiman......Please, get real. Also, I don't recall Saks or Neiman asking their employee to engage customers in social issues discussions. And explain to me why folks who live in the mentioned cities would not enjoy having a Starbucks. I can take you to many Starbucks in DC and I bet you know what the ethnic makeup of DC is. You need to shed your stereotype mindset. You are disappointing and I bet you don't have a clue why.

I feel like the fruit cake lady right now.



Puhleeze, get that stupid **** outa here.

Starbucks are mostly located in large, metropolitan locations, in the middle of cities where business is being conducted. They are mostly located where there are large populations of people, not necessarily black or white, but people.

What are freakin' novel concept, huh?

If you've ever been to Selma, you'll know what I'm talking about....

Starbucks is like a Saks there.

"large, metropolitan locations, in the middle of cities".......

clueless as usual. Check the population of Winchester VA vs. Gary IN. And then tell me where the Starbucks in Winchester is located. Maybe you should avoid making yourself look like an idiot since you don't know what you are talking anout.

LOL. You shouldn't have said that. I feel a presidential memorandum on its way.

Re: "large, metropolitan locations, in the middle of cities".......


Not too familiar with Starbucks locations, but the only one that I can remember is located in the registration office at a resort at Myrtle Beach. Definitely not metro nor related to a city. I would classify it more as an uppity white resort. You would have to be totally blind to suggest it promotes minorities. The facilities are rather nice and I would recommend them highly. On the south side of the beach and don't have to put up with beach bums for sure.

Re: Not sure what the question is here....



really? it costs about $2 for a cup of coffee, not really an unreachable financial obligation for a cup of coffee. if you can buy a 12 pack, box of wine, or a carton of cigs then you can buy a $2 cup of coffee. starbucks bit off more than they can chew on this this stupid initiative...who made them the authority on race relations?
