   What happened to the cartoon? The storyline completely changed and the drawing is obviously different

   A little stronger than playing thru…and even more accurate

   What happened to Clear Blue Water? Did it stop being written last December?

   To those who will continue to defend yet another indefensible…of course the actions by the Philadelphia Starbuck were ‘racially motivated.’

   I’ve walked in and used bathrooms in Starbucks since I work on the road sometimes ordering after I come out…sometimes not ordering at all…and just heading back to my car without EVER being challenged.

   I’ve sat in Starbucks waiting for folks before I ordered without EVER being challenged.

   Starbucks is where white people — others, too…but lots of white people — go to ‘loiter’ with their laptops, kindles, iPads, school work and more sipping maybe a half cup of coffee for hours and are are not EVER challenged.

   It can sometimes even be hard to find a table at some Starbucks for the ‘loitering’ white; Asian people too, and none are EVER challenged.

   And I’ve both done and/or observed all the above across many different Starbucks in a number of locations and states without EVER having a problem, EVER being challenged or EVER seeing any of these ‘loiterers’ challenged.

   To those who would continue to ‘defend’ the behavior by that Starbucks manager…your remarkable denialism and willingness to argue about anything you are told to say which supports a Corporate Right, unAmerican ‘White’ agenda despite all obvious documentation/evidence needs to stop.

   Of course the actions by the Philly Starbucks were ‘racially motivated.’

   For the record…I actually agree that this particular cartoon was a bit overdone since I wouldn’t apply this as a ‘policy’ across Starbucks nationwide. But – yes – the Philly Starbucks was ‘racially motivated.’

   It’s a shame some of the writers just on this string – many others, too – who are still denying the Philly Starbucks reality can’t sign up for the company’s nationwide racial training day.

   The GOP are principally Corporate sponsored and have long not had to give a squat about their real voters/constituents. Mitch McConnell has, I believe, the highest percentage of out of state (covert Corporate) campaign and related funding than any other…which is saying something…which is why his constituents and state don’t matter remotely.

   Starbucks, however, is a business who needs customers coming in every day rather than knowing their ‘sponsorship’ checks; their massive ‘campaign’ contributions from Koch; from the NRA…others…will be in the mail so long as they continue to do what they are told…continue to introduce anti-America legislation written for them by ALEC and others.

   Agree with the surge towards ‘anti-intellectualism’ overall but also see this cartoon differently…and liked it enough to bookmark it for later use. Rather than a broader attack on those with ‘education,’ I’d offer it as a reference to a particular – and particularly ineffective – school of thought in education/child psych. Teaching, supporting and nurturing are key but can’t act independently of effective and timely response/redirection for interfering/problem events based on conditions.

   a particularly dumb cartoon string

    Fascinating cartoon since the reason Arafat’s memorial didn’t occur was due to infighting between the PA and Hamas.
