THERE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CASE OF THE TWO
BLACK MEN WHO GOT ARRESTED FOR ESSENTIALLY ASKING TO USE
THE BATHROOM AT STARBUCKS.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT.
AMAZING.
THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING.
COOLEST PEOPLE ALIVE.
I WOULD'VE LOOKED FOR A PAYDAY FOR SURE, BUT I AM TERRIBLE.
THEY ARE RECEIVING SOME COMPENSATION FROM STARBUCKS.
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT?
I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I WAS READING THAT STARBUCKS IS
OFFERING THEM A SETTLEMENT AS WELL, BUT FROM THE CITY
THEY ARE RECEIVING THIS.
SOME PEOPLE ONLINE WERE SAYING, YES, THEY ARE TRYING TO DO
THE TAYLOR SWIFT ONE DOLLARS AND THE MESSAGE THING.
IT IS NOT ABOVE THE MONEY, WHEN THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH
WITH ONE DOLLAR BUT ULTIMATELY, I THINK THAT IS WONDERFUL,
THAT THEY ARE FUNNELING THAT MONEY INTO PLACES I COULD
BE BETTER SERVED TO EDUCATE AND INFLUENCE YOUNGER
GENERATIONS TO MAKE AWESOME THINGS IN THE FUTURE.
THERE'S NO BAD HERE.
SO GREAT.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE STARBUCKS THING.
HOPEFULLY IT'S AN UNDISCLOSED SUM.
I THINK THEY JUST GOT GIFT CARDS FROM STARBUCKS.
STARPOINTS.
ON YOUR POINT ABOUT THE DOLLAR, THE ONLINE STUFF
THAT YOU HAD SEEN.
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST OR EVEN THE THOUSAND EXAMPLE OF
SOMEBODY TAKING A DOLLAR ON THE CIVIL SUIT.
OFTENTIMES CIVIL SUITS ARE FILED TO MAKE A POINT, CIVIL
RIGHTS POINT OR OTHER AND THE DOLLAR IS OFTEN TIMES THE
AMOUNT THAT IS SOUGHT.
YOU CAN TELL, HEY, IT IS A HIGHER IDEAL THAT IS BEING
APPLIED HERE.
THAT IS THE REASON THEY WENT FOR A DOLLAR TURN OF, IN THIS
CASE THE DOLLAR WAS TO BE SYMBOLIC AND MORE IMPORTANT
THING THAT FOLLOWS IS THE GRANTS MONEY AND THEY REEDUCATION
PROGRAM THAT THEY ARE DOING AT STARBUCKS ARE
THE FOLLOW-THROUGH IS IMPORTANT.
HERE IS THAT STARBUCKS ANNOUNCED THAT IT REACHED AN
AGREEMENT FOR AN UNDISCLOSED FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT AND
I'LL STARBUCKS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO LISTEN AND
CREATE A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THE OPPORTUNITY.
I LIKE HOW STARBUCKS IS REALLY LEANING INTO THIS.
I DO THINK THAT THEY NEEDED A DAY, THEY ARE TAKING THE DAY MAY
29 TO CLOSE ALL DOORS TO HAVE TRAINING ON RACIAL BIAS
WHICH SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THAT IS NOT COOL.
I THINK THAT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR A
COMPANY TO SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO SO WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.
THE RACIAL BIAS TRAINING IS ONE THAT HAS KIND OF BECOME
EN VOGUE FOR VARIOUS CORPORATIONS BECAUSE AS
OPPOSED TO THE PREVIOUS WAY OF DOING IT WHICH LOOKED AT
FOLKS AND WAS LIKE OKAY, THIS GUY IS THE PROBLEM, YOU ARE
BEING A PROBLEM AND IT IS YOU PERSONALLY, IT IS MICHAEL'S
GUY HERE OF THE OFFICE WHO IS THE PROBLEM.
NOW IT IS LIKE, IT IS NO ONE'S FAULT, IT IS PROBABLY JUST
IMPLICIT.
SOME PEOPLE ARE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS THAT NO ONE
EVEN KNOWS THAT THEY ARE MAKING, IT IS JUST IMPLICIT SO
LET'S ADDRESS IT.
AT LEAST IT IS GETTING ADDRESSED IN THESE GUYS AND THEIR
LEGAL TEAM ARE PLAYING A ROLE IN THAT AND I THINK THAT IS GREAT.
THEY ARE CLOSING 8000
STORES, THEY'RE GOING TO PASS OFF AMERICA.
THAT 2 PM COFFEE RUSH THAT YOU DON'T GET IS GOING TO BE
DIRE, BUT ALSO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY, IF YOU WANT TO GET
FINANCIAL WITH IT, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT STARBUCKS IS GOING TO
LOSE WITHIN THAT TIMEFRAME IS SUBSTANTIAL, SO AGAIN, I LOVE
STARBUCKS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MOCHA LATTES AND YEAH,
IT IS GOOD STUFF.
HERE'S A STATEMENT FROM THE MAYOR.
YOU WANT THE MAYOR TO REALLY STRIKE, THE CITY OF
BROTHERLY LOVE TO MAKE IT UP.
HE GOES:
WAY TO HIT THE EMOTIONAL TONE THERE, JIM KENNEY.
DID YOU JUST RUN A BUNCH OF LEGAL TERMS THROUGH A BLENDER?
I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS STATEMENT, AND ATTEMPT
TO BE LISTEN, WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON THE FUTURE OF AMERICA
AND RIGHTING WRONGS.
HE HAS LIKE IT WOULD'VE BEEN A LOT OF LEGAL PAIN.
PRETTY CRAZY.
