In another episode of Some White People Being Surprised When White People Are Racist…
Scrolling through my Twitter feed I saw a video posted by Melissa DePino that showed two Black men being arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks for merely waiting on a friend to arrive before placing their order. Or as Black people call it, Thursday.
Starbucks has branded itself as a company that is concerned diversity and inclusion stating on its website,”Embracing diversity only enhances our work culture, it also drives our business success. It is the inclusion of these diverse experiences and perspectives that create a culture of empowerment, one that fosters innovation, economic growth and new ideas.” Starbucks CEO, Kevin Johnson, stated in an article written by Ronald Holden in Business Insider that, “We are in the business of human connection.”
Really? If this is what you consider human connection this is a serious fail.
