Ok then, that's what my post was addressing, to which you said you were "positive" I was an idiot for disagreeing. Reading comprehension, even of your own posts, does not appear to be your specialty.

Another angle on this, showing the attempt at dialogue and how far it got...

An indication of how this thing will go, if they're stupid enough not to kill it. I hope they do kill it...all they need is one loudmouth like Tinark preaching to another off-meds liberal psychotic, who then returns to shoot up the place.
Looks like hes defending it - and having the employees do the work for him, since after blocking his own twitter, shows he doesn't want the conversation on race himself...

Starbucks CEO Defends 'Race Together' Campaign on Race Relations
i never did the coffee shop thing. tasty, nice aromas, folks all cleaned up and spiffy, enjoying overpriced drinks. bars without booze ? i have been there, just not daily or ritualistically. nothing wrong with "being there", but we can make our own delicious coffee concoctions at home for pennies on the dollar and no "fluff" - i think starbucks looks for ways to stay "relevant" and "up with the times", even controversy and emotional pleas. anything to stay in the media -

One of the tweets on that guy's account offered the opinion (I have NO IDEA if it's true) that, statistically, black men drink much less coffee than white men, so this was an underhanded ploy to lure them in the door. Implausible? Too cynical for enlightened, guilt-ridden white liberals to even consider doing?

How is a business attempting to maximize its profits cynical? What is underhanded about it? It is the very lifeblood of our economic system. As a shareholder, I expect nothing less (so long as it isn't illegal or grossly unethical activity being engaged in)
There is nothing unethical whatsoever about the concept of this "RaceTogether" campaign.

I could care less if a hack like you believes I don't have a problem with businesses maximizing profits when not engaging in illegal or unethical behavior.
What is most surprising is the Marxist side being revealed in you: that businesses that maximize profits is somehow underhanded and wrong.
I thought liberals hated a business making a profit.... I guess thats only true if an agenda doesnt come with it... then its ok, right?
Or walmart...
