A great example of corporate idiocy


Hmmmm……I have watched with some interest, and more than a little disgust, as the media and all of the special interest, fringe wack jobs of the left have celebrated the pending shut down (in approximately six weeks) of Starbucks in order to subject their employees to mandatory, racial diversity / sensitivity training concerning Starbucks treatment of African American people (aka black people, as I rarely refer to my whitie bretheren as Caucasian American, or European American).

You know the story, or let me say, you know the story that the media is spreading….AND THAT MAY BE TRUE…..given the sad state of reportage in this nation today, the only certainty is that when our media is involved we will never know the REAL story, or the facts for that matter.  But two black males were apparently in a Starbucks in Philadelphia (that in itself would probably raise eyebrows), waiting on a friend, who DID eventually show, and declined to order while they waited.  A white female employee (and yes, you CAN tell by the way she spoke) called the police and reported that the two males would neither order nor leave.

There are reports that the two men got loud and disruptive, but I don’t know….technically Starbucks is not a fast food joint and most shit like that is reserved for fast food joints and Youtube.

Okay…..so that is what we know.  And the CEO was “sick to his stomach” when he hear the recorded call to the police.  And he has decreed “re-education for all”.  In an interview I heard this morning, he borrowed a line from former White House resident Obama by decreeing that this behavior simply was not who they were.  And he may be right….it didn’t happen at ALL Starbucks stores, so maybe it is only who they are in THAT Starbucks store in Philadelphia…..we will never know, because rather than punish the actual offenders, the Starbucks CEO has decided to punish everyone who works for him.

But look at the back story; Starbucks is a leftist outlet, just like Ben and Jerry’s and just like CNN.  If it supports traditional America, Starbucks is having none of it.  Hell, until recently I thought you had to be gay to be a barista there (and you may from what I have seen).  As such, Starbucks MUST virtue signal….it is cheap, and they have decided that in the post Constitutional America, it will be important.  Leftists are legendary racists…..what is good for the left only applies to minorities (and I am not sure Philadelphia blacks ARE) when it is useful.  Punishing EVERYONE for the behavior of one, well that is as statist as a Ho Chi Minh re-education camp….it is all in their DNA.

But the rest of that story deserves looking at also…..forget that the media has ensured that we MIGHT know the whole story, but we will never KNOW if we know the whole story…..it is agenda driven…..so you work with the information you have.  As for this not being who Starbucks is…..

……is it?

Starbucks made the papers for refusing to send US Marines coffee while in Iraq, using the leftist lie of supporting the troops while not supporting the war, then promptly supporting neither.

Starbucks has made the papers for refusing to serve police officers.

Starbucks has made the news for baristas spitting in peoples cups; people with whom they disagree, or who the baristas feel are more rude than themselves.

Starbucks has shamelessly gotten behind every wedge issue embraced by the left; every single one….and vocally.

So, is this sort of behavior NOT who Starbucks is?  I think most people would think it is EXACTLY who Starbucks is.  Maybe it is who Starbucks is, and the CEO is too much of a wuss, and rather than change the culture of the offending store, punishes everyone (they WILL be made to care). Or…..and this is quite possible; this is who Starbucks is and they want to cover it up with “training” (telling whities how racist they are).  But, given Starbucks history of embracing everything negative in the American story…..I suspect that this is who Starbucks is, and they have finally gotten caught; not disrespecting law and order and policemen, not ignoring the US Marines, but in doing the same to two black men.  Let’s don’t have a civics class on the value of the military, or the value of the police, screw that bunch…..let’s cause a scene over a jerkwad employee disrespecting two black men.

Don’t let Starbucks fool you…..when the re-education is complete, their coffee will still taste the same, it will still cost too much, the baristas will still act like they should be in La Cage Aux Folles (didn’t think I could tie THAT in did you?), their snotty asses will still hate police, the military and conservatives…….and most likely……they will still hate black men.

I think “Arabica” may be code for coffee swilling idiot.
