It’s St. Patrick’s Day. That Means Laughter

Don't act surprised when I kick you in the "balls nuts"

Epic Fail, Starbucks. You don’t force your baristas who you pay $7-$10 an hour to talk about race, when your practices don’t reflect what you speak. Corporate should lead the discussion

Not sure what @Starbucks was thinking. I don't have time to explain 400 years of oppression to you & still make my train. #RaceTogether

— April (@ReignOfApril) March 17, 2015

honest to God, if you start to engage me in a race conversation before I've had my morning coffee, it will not end well.

Hey Starbucks: Instead of badgering your customers about race, what about serving non-burnt coffee? #RaceTogether

Starbucks says let’s talk about race. People say okay, tell us about your hiring practices, wages and salaries, who sits at the power table, etc. Their corporate dude deletes his Twitter account and locks his Instagram account. That’s how Starbucks talks about race. Congratulations, cowards
