I just heard they were released at 130am last night. They are real estate brokers and were at Starbucks to meet their family friend. That’s all I have for now.

Ever since I posted this, I’ve had white strangers AND friends say “there must be something more to this story.” That assumption is a big part of the problem. It does happen. All the time. Just not to you and me. Believe it and speak up.

Yes, the two men were asked to leave
@Starbucks, as the Philly Police said in their statement, but they sat there peacefully and had the nerve to ask WHY they were being asked to leave. What counts as peaceful protest? Isn't that what this is?!Näytä tämä ketju -
The protest is growing outside the
@Starbucks. The woman on the right in the red shirt is 90 years old and told a story about her father who died when she was 9 as a result of racial profiling and police brutality.pic.twitter.com/DxQb5OYtSG

This is the kind of crap I'm getting from strangers: "Are you ashamed of your “white privileged?” I watched the video. How can you call it racism when the police are doing their jobs?" I'm not ashamed of my privilege--I just own it. People like you not owning it is the problem.

To everybody who is saying I’m shaming people, you’re right. I am. You should be ashamed.

Apparently I'm a "racebaiter" and need to "apologize to the police." Um, no.

So many people have thanked me for posting this video. While I appreciate it, it also makes me wonder why it’s not just expected that we use our position of privilege to open the conversation so that we can LISTEN to those people who experience this every day.

Peaceful protest at
@Starbucks by people of all colors. To the one aggressive man across the street arguing for his “white privilege,” you are outnumbered. Get used to it.pic.twitter.com/DDjMfBmDF5 – paikassa Starbucks

To the people still asking me "Why didn't they just order something," I repeat, that's the WRONG QUESTION.

This is representative of many messages I've gotten after the Starbucks incident. I hope many more white men and women will join me in both speaking up and amplifying the voices of those who experience this in their everyday lives.pic.twitter.com/Xm4mvi4I1a

Starbucks has learned nothing. Not that I expected them to.

An internal memo sent to Starbucks employees last week specifically warned staffers against wearing accessories or clothes bearing messages in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

A video from a top Starbucks executive reportedly sent with the memo warned employees that "agitators who misconstrue the fundamental principles" of the movement could seek to "amplify divisiveness" if Black Lives Matter messages are displayed in stores.
