In reply to the discussion: Black men arrested at Philadelphia Starbucks agree to meet with CEO [View all]sdfernando
(4,935 posts)11. I agree it is admirable for the CEO to want to apologize face to face
One way the CEO can ensure this doesn't happen again is to not hire RACISTS...The manager of that store is a RACIST whether he believes it or not and should be fired. You cannot convince me that had these guys been white the manager wouldn't have done a damned thing!
The cops making the arrest should have let the guys go immediately when their friend showed up an corroborated their reason for being there. So the cops are RACIST too (big surprise there!). The cops should be disciplined and/or fired as well.
I'm really sick of this SHIT!

No it's like everything else in this country ... BAD or NO training. It's called management skills.

Good question. Remove ignorance. Open people's eyes to the truth that no human being is better
