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
