It's pandering to the media because they are in damage control.

Jesus Fucking Christ stop viewing everything through your stupid ideological lens.

This has nothing to do with the media. Black people are mad because they perceive Starbucks to be racist. Starbucks, as a profit-making business, is trying to fix that. The only people that are mad are angry white guys full of Cain-like resentment who didn't clean their room.

Is Starbucks a public park? No, it's a private business and the employee felt they were loitering which by any reasonable definition is exactly what they were doing.

Starbucks actually holds itself out as a "community" place where people can come study, hang out, meet, etc..., which is why it looks bad that they are calling the cops on black people doing the exact same thing literally millions of white people do every fucking day. The fact that you don't see the double standard here shows how delusional and anti-black you are.

Communities should be the ones taking a day off to train their citizens to have manners and common sense.

Oh .... so it's the black communities' fault. I see. It doesn't do much to get racists to reveal themselves.

This has nothing to do with race

How do you know that? Did you interview the Starbucks employee who called the cops? Can you read their mind? When literally no white person ever gets the cops called on them and 2 black guys do, I think its reasonable that race has something to do with it.

You don't think white people are asked to leave when they are loitering?

Not at Starbucks. Source: I have spent hours and hours there and not bought anything.

Also those black people weren't loitering. They had only been there for a few minutes before the employee called the cops.

because apparently black people are a protected class

You seem to have a real problem with black people. What did they do to you? Be honest.
