A NOTE TO PAUL SYKES, District Manager Starbucks and store manager, Holly Hylton of store #17767 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The attitudes exhibited in this scenario are and have always been evident. I would not go into a Starbucks until one opened in Forestville Maryland for Blacks in Prince George's county. Starbucks in Conyers Square Starbucks, in Atlanta, Georgia I never visited had a unique approach led by a Black man. He engineered from the elitist social model of this corporation and made it a popular haven for Southern Black culture to flourish. It was brilliant...
Starbucks is successful because it caters to the 'supreme' idea that white people educated with high incomes can posture above the fray, and gloat with specialized coffees with Italian names. It isn't far removed from the crude bars of poor whites bitter about the loss of the Civil War. Neither end of the spectrum admit how they are related, and depend upon each other for the success of their advancement as superior beings!
It is an old traditional American story. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/16/18
