Two anonymous black men showed up at Star Bucks on Friday afternoon they walked in and sat down waiting for a friend. They didn't order anything and the manager got upset and asked them to leave.When they didn't, the police were called and the manager accused them of trespassing. Once they were handcuffed and taken outside their friend showed up asking what they did and the officer replied "they were trespassing"
This can be related back to sit ins in the 50's except that this is almost 70 years later and simply getting arrested for doing the exact same thing as their white counterparts is completely unacceptable and unconstitutional.

I love this connection really puts things in perspective!
ReplyDelete^Agreed, but also I think that people are just fearful of any and every move that ANYONE does now. There is hate in this world because people decide to create commotion like this.
