    You were given the example. I couldn’t care less if you agree or not.

    Do I really need to, everyone with a little common sense has seen this for what it is. Only the folks in denial are the ones who are claiming that the two men were loitering or whatever other bullshit they can cook up.

    This is America Jack if folks decide they don't want to go to Starbucks so be it, hell there have been some white folks saying boycott Starbucks.

    So that is their right as American citizens.

    I will take the word of someone who was actually in the store at the time of the incident over some fool sitting behind a computer at home claiming to have first hand information over what took place.

    And yet the story may change if put under oath and compared to other witness as well as CCTV. The story always changes aka Joy Reid.

    Common Sense Is Neither Common nor Sense

    See: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...1107/common-sense-is-neither-common-nor-sense

    But of course, as per the liberal strategy of SHAMING political opponents into submission, by playing on the EMOTIONS of your supporters, "common sense", though NOT sufficient as EVIDENCE in a court of law (which is probably why there has been NO lawsuit filed against Starbucks), apparently IS sufficient as evidence in the court of public OPINION.

    See above post.

    Ok.

    Ok, but YOU DID ask me, and I quote...
    I was simply answering your question brutha.

    Now you're attempting to employ the use of yet another liberal propaganda tactic, pretending to be ignorant.

    If you don't know how media is used to PSYCHOLOGICALLY manipulate the thoughts and behavior of people, then frankly, you're probably NOT well enough informed to contribute anything useful to any dialog/discussion on the subject.

    Your lawn, unless you are having a yard sale, is not a service open to the public.

    It has been suggested that the two men should have waited on the sidewalk. If it had been me, and I wasn't expecting company, I would have walked on, rather than suffer the inconvenience, never to return. Starbucks needs to find a way to be more user friendly, maybe teach employees to know the difference between real customers and junkies that want to use the restroom to shoot up.

    Thing is, according to the men's own statements on the incident, they were NOT customers. They WERE asked if they wanted anything, but declined, because as one of the men stated, they had their own bottled water.

    Technically speaking, they WERE loitering and Philadelphia has a "nuisance business" law, that holds business owners responsible for "nuisance behavior", including loitering.

    That law was actually introduced by a BLACK council woman.

    So you have no tangible evidence. Why not just say so?

    And, in Asheville, NC, jaywalking is cutting across a parking lot on foot. I don't know if that's law, or if it was made law by a black councilperson. The penalty, of course, is a severe beating. That never happened to me. I've cut across a lot of parking lots in 68 years. Maybe it's because I never got caught, I'm not a teenager, or maybe because I'm White

    By the way, it was once believed, in polite society, that one does not order until all members of a party are seated.

    It's also been a long time belief that businesses set policy in their own stores, not customers.
    And it's a rather moot point since the two gentlemen charged with defiant trespassing simply refused to make any sort of purchase anyway.

    Strawman argument.

    Irrelevant, the men had no intentions of actually patronizing the establishment, otherwise they'd have informed the manager that they were waiting for a 3rd member of their party before ordering.

    When these two guys were informed they would have to order something or leave they could have rolled their eyes and sighed a heavy sigh and simply ordered something begrudgingly, and gotten reimbursed by Andrew Yaffe, a real estate big shot. But they did not do that!
    They defiantly chose not to order and not to go anywhere and not even the police could get them to willingly move.

    Has there ever been such a clear cut case of defiant trespassing?

    LOL, you are posting the words of someone from a blog or opinion piece and discount what the folks who were actually in the store have to say.

    So now you've abandoned logic and reason and resort to the totally EMOTIONAL, PERSONAL ATTACK.

    Liberal debating strategy in a nutshell.

    1. The civil rights movement is irrelevant to this topic, because no one's civil rights were violated.

    2. I'm man enough to admit that media HAS influenced my thoughts and behavior. Anyone who claims otherwise is either lying or a monk.

    Actually it is post like this that pretty much tells me my analysis is correct. Logic is what is showing me the way when you come with that tired old right wing propaganda about Liberal this and Liberal that. I asked you what politics have to do with what happened in Starbucks. Was the manager a alt-right republican, were the two black patrons liberals. Most black men in this country have been in a situation similar to that in their lives.

    That we know of.

    I believe the media gives you a lot of information in today's society, then it is up to the individual to match those accounts with their own personal experiences to find the truth.

    Politics governs EVERYTHING. That said, it was black liberals who made this a political issue when they made claims of racism. Since there are LAWS that prohibit discrimination based on race, accusations of racism against a business becomes a LEGAL and thus POLITICAL matter.

    That IS WHY law makers are referred to as POLITICIANS.

    I don't know and I doubt the black liberals in the streets who were/are calling for a boycott of Starbucks have ever made any serious effort to find out and THAT is WHY there is so much "right wing" outrage about the way the incident has been reported and how Starbucks handled the situation.

    There was a RUSH to JUDGEMENT by liberals, based on an EMOTIONAL reaction to images of the men being arrested.

    Maybe the should have waited on conservatives to speak out about it, oh wait they wouldn't have would they.

    There are LAWS the prohibit robbery, rape, murder, etc., but it still happens everyday doesn't it.

    Wow how long did it take you to come up with that analogy.

    Well tell us Herman Cain how would a black conservative such as yourself, how would you have handled that situation.

    If was left to conservatives you would still be sitting in the back of the bus or picking cotton, but you are a black man.

    Today's Republican Party is equal to the Democratic Party of 1960.
