The Jewish Origins of the 2018 Starbucks’ ‘Racial Bias’ Controversy
You likely remember the 2018 brouhaha that engulfed coffee shop giant Starbucks, which – as described in the Atlantic – was promptly:
‘Embroiled in one of its largest scandals to date after two black men were arrested for trespassing in a Philadelphia coffee shop when they were waiting for a business associate without immediately making a purchase. Video of the incident, which shows police handcuffing 23-year-olds Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, quickly went viral, and a protest was organized. Starbucks issued an apology for what it called a “reprehensible outcome,” announcing that more than 8,000 U.S. stores would be closed next month for a day of racial-bias training.’ (1)
Now you might say: what has this to do with jews?
Well quite a lot actually.
Aside from the fact that the ‘racial-bias training’ was conducted by the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith (2) - a jewish communal organisation that is singly jewish and not very ‘diverse’ nor ‘multicultural’ – (3) and that jewish co-founder and long-time CEO Howard Schulz – until recently Executive Chairman of Starbucks – was the one chosen to make the case that Starbucks would continue to push ‘progressive politics’ and fire anyone who took a realistic attitude to preventing branches of the coffee shop chain getting robbed. (4)
We also have the revelation that when Nelson and Robinson were arrested. They were actually loitering with intent without making any purchase and waiting for a jewish businessman from Philadelphia named Andrew Yaffe in order to ‘discuss investment opportunities’. (5)
Now given the fact that Nelson and Robinson were loitering in a Philadelphia Starbucks without making a purchase for no discernible reason. It is hardly surprising that they would be asked to leave, because after all Starbucks is in the business of selling coffee and food not providing free meeting rooms to loitering negroes.
The fact that Nelson and Robinson refused to do and that Yaffe just so happened to get there in the nick of time to loudly claim they were there to meet him. In addition to the fact that investment in property and everything that comes with it. Further combined with recent widespread agitation against so-called ‘racial bias’ and ‘white privilege’. All goes to suggest that this has all the marks of a set-up by Nelson, Robinson and Yaffe to provide another ‘Rosa Parks Moment’.
An interesting thought: isn’t it?
