A jury ordered Starbucks to pay $25.6 million Tuesday to a former regional manager it fired in 2018 after a viral incident in which employees called the police on two black men, determining that the coffee retailer had fired her because she is white, The New York Times reported.
A viral 2018 incident in which a Starbucks employee called the police on two black men who refused to leave the store sparked accusations of racism resulting in a public apology from the company’s CEO and the one-day closure of 8,000 stores for trainings on racial bias. In the aftermath of the incident, Starbucks fired Shannon Phillips, who oversaw about 100 stores in the region, according to the NYT.
The jury found that Starbucks had fired Phillips on the basis of her race in violation of her federal civil rights and of a New Jersey law prohibiting race-based discrimination, according to the NYT.
Two black men who had not yet ordered anything were waiting for a third person to join them at the Rittenhouse Square Starbucks in Philadelphia when one of them asked to use the restroom, according to the NYT. An employee declined and asked the men to leave; when they refused, an employee called the police, who arrested both men, sparking swift outrage and protests.
ABOUT TIME !!! Whites need to stand up for themselves today & Fight Back on DISCRIMINATION !!!!
BAN Affirmative Action which ONLY benefits BLACKS !!! It is Reverse Discrimination !!!
STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD. THIS IS TOTAL BS. You can’t blame race for things anymore.
Take away the RACE CARD ( Affirmative Action ) !!!! Then we have EQUALITY
It’s all ridiculous. If you know anything about biology beyond the illustrated Bible in your childhood pediatrician’s office with pasty white Adam and Eve and blond-haired blue-eyed Jesus…..who actually was likely a lot darker skinned than his modern followers. Race is confused as if it were some difference between Species and some supremacy. Skin pigmentation is an adaptive condition informed by conditions and as humans migrated through changing climate situations and UV exposure. This all took place long before what we even conceive as culture or History and should be better understood. Caucasians are hybrid anomalies with weakened immune systems and carriers and spreaders of disease. What is most telling is how modern offspring are unconsciously unbiased and have adopted breeding across racial and cultural lines. It just may refortify and save our Species.
Uuuummm…..dude, did you read the same article we all did?
The lady was discriminated against and fired and then won a court case. It’s likely published here because white people are being discriminated against in crazy numbers. Then we read what you wrote…seriously?
Say what?
Modern offspring is unconsciously brainwashed into unbiased breeding across racial and cultural lines by TV 4:01, it is actually weakening our species, not saving it. However all these black men with white women and children are actually diluting the black race out of existence.
Thanks for the lecture, Dr. Mengele.
