[del]

Two African American men arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks last month have reached a settlement with the city and secured its commitment to a pilot program for young entrepreneurs.

Two black men arrested at Starbucks settle with Philadelphia for $1 each

so, was it a scam all along?

Why only Philadelphia? There are lots of young black entrepreneurs on the street corners of Chicago, Baltimore, and St. Louis.

White folks need drugs in other cities as badly as those in the City of Brotherly Love, ya know. I mean, share the wealth, man.

Sure don't get why RWrs get such a bad rap with black voters.

You know, these guys could have brought a lawsuit against the city, and more than likely won but they didn't want to do that. Instead, they accepted a token payment of 1 dollar each to settle the suit for themselves, with the rest of the money (200,000 dollars) going back to the city for a program to fund young entrepreneurs.

I kinda commend these guys. They could have taken the money for themselves, but instead turned it into a positive.

Because we tell the truth as we see it, as opposed to covering it up with glib responses?

The truth is, you leftists/Democrats/communists/socialists have kept blacks folks like mushrooms ever since the Civil War: In a dark place and feeding them shit. If the majority of black people in this country were only lucky enough to see through the bullshit you've been feeding them for the last 150 years, you Democrats would be extremely lucky if they didn't line your sorry asses up against a wall and shot you.

Not that I'm an advocate of violence or anything, but consider yourselves very lucky.

Yes, honesty isnt a popular thing in that community. Honesty makes them mad, and apparently it makes you mad too.

Unless I'm missing something here, these two guys look very honorable and classy.

You know, this is the part of the OP's link that really makes me wonder. The dudes actually had a business meeting and simply got there 10 min. early. It's good to be early for business meetings, isn't it?

From the OP's link............................


On April 12, Nelson and Robinson arrived 10 minutes early for a business meeting at a Starbucks in the Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia and wound up leaving the location in handcuffs. Upon arriving, Nelson asked whether he could use the restroom, and was told by a white manager that the restrooms were only for paying customers.


“And I just left it at that,” Nelson told “Good Morning America” last month.

After Nelson returned to the table where Robinson was sitting, the manager approached them to ask whether she could help get them drinks or water.


Two minutes later, she called the police to report “two gentlemen in my cafe that are refusing to make a purchase or leave.” Officers arrived a few minutes later. Robinson recalled thinking that “they can’t be here for us.”


Nelson told “Good Morning America” that the police told him and Robinson that they had to leave without any discussion. They were then arrested, and Robinson said they were not read any rights or told why they were being arrested.


Charges of trespassing and creating a disturbance were dropped that night.
