2 black men arrested at Starbucks get an apology from police

“I could never do anything right to her”, Cash told the Daily Mail Wednesday, April 2.

“We are committed to equity, fairness, and changing the narrative about how people are viewed, and treated in this city, and hopefully in this country”, Kenney said.

At the time, Ross defended the arresting officers by saying they did not do anything wrong. They didn’t find out their side of the story.

The particular bias the company alluded to, known as unconscious or implicit bias, occurs when people make decisions based partly on stereotypes without being aware that the stereotype has influenced them. But that hasn’t stopped everyone from assuming that the manager must be a brutal racist intent on making black patrons pee in their trousers.

Something Black folks in Philadelphia know all too well. Starbucks has not said under what circumstances she left.

The good folks over at Starbucks have been in some hot water recently.

People have a right to equal and fair treatment.

Robinson and Nelson did not resist or react at the time. The presence of armed police can result in escalation-and even death. “This is a management issue and I am accountable to ensure we address the policy, and the practice and the training that led to this outcome”.

Nelson also said he had feared for his safety and his life.

“You go from being someone who’s just trying to be an entrepreneur, having your own dreams and aspirations, and then this happens“, noted Nelson. “That’s in any situation whether there’s race involved or anything”, Robinson said.

The black men arrived a few minutes early. Critics are now on a quest to try to prove that Starbucks is a closet-racist company.

“This is a real estate meeting”.

On Tuesday, Noah interviewed former Attorney General Eric Holder, who is part of a panel helping Starbucks develop its racial bias training.

A Starbucks spokesman told The Post on Wednesday that “in this particular store, the guidelines were that partners must ask unpaying customers to leave the store, and police were to be called if they refused”.

“That’s when we knew she called the police on us”, Nelson told the AP. Plus, Cash alleges, she especially had it out for Cash, the only Black employee. “It was very same-sex-marriage friendly”, and its customers tend to say they believe society is “much better” when people of different races live in the same neighborhood or community. There was no question of, ‘was there a problem here with you guys and a manager, you know, what happened.

None of this sits well with a woman who was born and raised in Philly. Join us in a conversation about world events, the newsgathering process or whatever aspect of the news universe you find interesting or important.

Roberts asked Robinson about Starbucks’s policy that restricts non-paying customers from using the restroom or sitting in the store, as well as the fact that the police told him and Nelson to leave.

In a 2016 Gallup poll, 52 percent of blacks and 17 percent of whites said they perceived discrimination in stores downtown or in the shopping mall. Do you fight? Do you sit down and just watch everyone else fight for you? Yes, it could happen. They were held in police custody for about nine hours before their release.

Nelson and Robinson said they hoped the incident served as a “stepping stone” to prevent similar situations from happening in the future.
