Starbucks Witness Censored By ABC's Good Morning America - EXCLUSIVE

leecamp (66) in life • 7 years ago

Here is my exclusive interview with Michelle Saahene - one of the witnesses to the Starbucks arrest that has gone viral. She was even interviewed on Good Morning America - but they made sure to cut out the part where she talks about systemic racism. The truth must be censored!

Solution- do not walk in to Starbucks and not purchase a product. It's not a public place they have the right to kick non-paying customers.
No one bennefits from identity politics.

so if you browse for automobiles in a car lot you are required to drive away with a new vehicle? what you say is silly. most 'private' locations that sell things actually want people to come in to their stores to take a look around, buying or not. it is why they open their doors to what is known as 'the public'. and when they do that part (opening to the public) they are actually (thankfully) not allowed to be racist in their choice of prospective customers. identity politics can be bad, but that doesn't change the fact that nobody benefits from characterizing clear racism as anything else.

This is a classic case of disinformation and has been used as an attempt to frame the possible personal biases of one employee as company wide racism.

No a cafe isnt a store where one browses like at a car lot or a merchant. You dont go into a restraunt and sit down not intending to order do you?

Had the men ordered something from the Starbucks it would be “clear racism”They told the starbucks employee that they had no intention of purchasing anything. Get real dude, Starbucks is a business and the non customers acknowledged they weren’t customers, also you just refuted your own argument “they are not allowed to be racist in thier choice of prospective customers.” In this context racism isnt even relevant, the are simply excluding non customers from acess to their facilty, which i would bet is their company policy. As broke teenager i was asked to leave a bunch of times from starbucks, Buffalo Wild Wings, and random gas stations because i wanted to sitdown or use the restroom and not pay for something, never once occured to me that i was being excluded

i went to a restaurant last night without intending to order anything. what happened to freedom? :D

i remember one time in small town saskatchewan, i did a bunch of yard work and it was really hot, so i laid down on the sidewalk. a little eccentric, but hey, who really gives a shit?

those people did. within 5 minutes, i had a crowd of 10 people surrounding me, telling me to "get up, or we're going to phone the police". people are so baffled by anything new... we're also taught to fear...

i'm not going to say this is a case of racism. it's definitely a case of stupidity. i haven't watched the tapes or anything, because it's just another instance of corporate fascism/stock market manipulation. :)

'i went to a restaurant last night without intending to order anything. what happened to freedom? :D" Freedom doesn't exist on private property sorry brah brah. Just like how freedom of speech doesn't exist on Twitter.

if i was waiting for a friend whom i believed was coming there to order something, i would have no problem sitting and waiting for them. you were most likely asked to leave those places because of your personality, not because you were a broke teenager.

Your so off track its pretty absurd. No it doesnt matter if you feel like waiting, the store is for customers. The men said the would not be ordering anything. In my cases i had not money to spend these were order something or leave senario but thanks for assuming random details about my past. You have a great imagination.

You had a desenting opinion and resulted to a personal attack against my personality instead of arguing your point. Pretty weak in my opinion.

cute. dissenting may be the word you are looking for, though it is wrong in the context you are trying to use it. again, i don't mind you trying to insult me here, or elsewhere, but do spell check it. thanks a ton. kisses.

and the problem is still that you do not see the issue. cops being called on people to leave a semi-public space, rather than simply being asked (if they were not going to use the services offered) that they might give up the space to customers that needed the seating, is the kind of thing that can and does disproportionately affect minorities. were the seats even needed for others at the time? your misunderstanding of what a public business is/does is something you should address. also, nobody believes that you have never been in a restaurant without ordering anything. most people have at some time or another gone into say, a mc'donalds, with a friend, and not ordered anything. in this context the business's decision to bypass normal human communication and go straight to calling the cops seems to have been racially motivated, as per at least eye witness accounts. forgive me if i trust them more than i trust you, who has proven to have indelible racism subconsciously ingrained where your ability to use a dictionary/spell should have been.

"are you guys going to buy anything? .... ok, well i'm going to have to ask you to leave. we're quite busy, and we need the seats for paying customers. sorry guys. hope the meeting goes well." - would have been the "appropriate" response. they straight up called the cops to come save them from loiterers... lol. and i've never known cops to make a situation... better.

it's like alcohol. take a bad situation, and pour cops all over it.

most of the things people call the cops for are minor things. you're potentially ruining someone's life because you're mad for 15 minutes. take a fucking breather, and stop throwing your fellow man into an uncaring & biased system.
