    Starbucks will close more than 8,000 company-owned stores on May 29 "to conduct racial-bias education geared toward preventing discrimination in our stores," following an incident in which two black men were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks. https://abcn.ws/2HIN39h pic.twitter.com/RZKUiMAYQS

        Too little too late. There are only two options for #Starbucks; change their logo, company name & board of directors to 60% black ownership.... or disappear altogether because Queen 👸🏿mermaid is black and she isn't happy with racism rooted in this enterprise🖕🏿

        Good. And if you tell me that this is overblown, I’m wondering if you have ever been arrested while waiting on a friend. “It’s not about calling people out. It’s about calling them up.”

        sadly I don't think racial-bias training will do any good in these cases, those two innocent men were doing nothing wrong and racism came into play there.

        So it wasn't the cops' fault, but Starbucks? That's what makes it so tough to be a cop today---all of the social media world was ready to crucify those guys, calling them racists, now we find out it was the store manager that asked them to remove the guys.

        Starbucks every day is an expensive bad habit. Brew your own it’s much cheaper and less fattening

        I doubt that's the reason why they are closing their stores. An idiot would only believe that. 1 incident closes 8000 stores. Come on. This is why I hate the news. Its fake. Its because of financial reasons.

        How can you call the news “fake” if they are reporting a story? You’re speaking as if the news jumped ahead of Starbucks decision

        Hold on, do you think these 8000 stores are “closing” like going out of business?

        Did you just read the headline? Why am I wasting time explaining something that is right there. Yes THEY are closing 8000 stores and they say this one incident is the reason. I call b.s.
