        Laws must be inacted so any racist, who uses the services of police to do their bigoted deeds, must pay fines every time the police are called re situations such as Starbucks. Once it's determined to be a racially motivated call, the caller must face a hefty fine, and/or jail.

        I think you're supposed to say: "Great job guys!" (Sometimes "we" don't know when we've won - so focuses on being defensive.)

        Because I live in the real world and these incidences won't stop unless something changes people's behavior. Between my young adult children, other family members, friends, and myself, the past year alone, 8 incidences. Donating $200,000 isn't going to stop this BS behavior!

        ...and btw, how is that winning for Black people around the US? Donating $200,000 to young entrepreneurs? Is it going to help me, other black ppl in that community, or change the behavior of other stores or restaurants who aren't doing any kind of training. A WIN? GTFOH

        You need to learn to take time out to congratulate. There's plenty of time to beat people over the head. If you can't celebrate a victory, wtf are you fighting for? Nobody likes an #AngryBlackWoman 24/7...pic.twitter.com/NvjDyVYIgI

        I agree with @mulatta10, yes this is a great outcome and these men should be applauded but, something needs to be done, black men are dying.

        No buts. Just congratulate on a nice guesture. Period. How about you sacrifice a ton of money and do something symbolic and have somebody say. but... Black women are something else...
