Starbucks and White Guilt

[Aquila]

Okay, so a white guy asks two black guys to meet him at Starbucks to discuss some business. While they are waiting on him, they are told to leave because they have yet to purchase any coffee drinks. They refuse to leave, because they are waiting for the man they are supposed to meet and they feel singled out because they're black. The cops are called. They discuss their intentions with the cops. The cops order them to leave. They feel greater discrimination. The cops decide to arrest them. Finally, the white guy their meeting with shows up, and asks what the problem is, and explains that they were meeting him. He goes on to explain that he's met people at this Starbucks all the time, and asks if they all can just leave. For some reason, the officers are still determined to arrest them. So, now three guys go into custody peacefully and the white guy they were meeting follows them to the station, bails them out, and they contact attorneys.

Is that essentially what happened?

Wow. If that's what happened, if you're black, you can't just meet someone at a public place without risking being arrested?

Here's a personal story. It wasn't Starbucks, it was Carribou Coffee at The Green in Kettering, Ohio. I told a couple to meet me there for a Bible study, and lunch and coffee was on me. They arrived on time. I got stuck on the highway. I texted them, and they said they'd wait. I was about 25 minutes late. We ordered coffee and food, then we had our Bible study.

No incident.

At least we know Carribou Coffee is safe. Well, none of us are black. Might not want to risk it if you are.

Isn't America great again?
