Starbucks is gonna shut down all their stories for a day to have every employee undergo a racial sensitivity training seminar. Why is it necessary? Starbucks is hip liberalism! Starbucks defines modern-day hip liberalism.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-Protest.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-Protest.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-Protest-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>You would think that everybody at Starbucks already is racially sensitive. You would think that there isn\u2019t a single racist anywhere near Starbucks, that they would weed them out, that they would hire them away, get \u2019em out of there. You would think that no racist would even apply.<\/p>\n<p>If Starbucks, the quintessential, the model, the role model for hip American liberalism is infiltrated with a bunch of racist pigs, then can anything be safe? So they\u2019re having these racial sensitivity retraining camps, seminars, what have you. People are gonna go in there and get their minds right. And I just heard here, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-04-17\/starbucks-training-shutdown-could-cost-them-just-16-7-million\">Bloomberg reporting that the estimated cost of shutting down Starbucks for a day, 16 and a half million dollars<\/a>. And get this. There\u2019s an African-American guy demanding free coffee for the rest of his life now as reparations from Starbucks and a barista hands it over immediately.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MAN: I heard you guys don\u2019t like black people.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE BARISTA: Not our store.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MAN: So I wanted to get my Starbucks reparations.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE BARISTA: Is that a real thing? I mean, I\u2019ll give it to you. I, yeah, I saw that on my Twitter last night, I was like, what the (bleeped).<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Yeah, I need, I need a free coffee.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE BARISTA: I\u2019ll give you a free coffee.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MAN: That\u2019s what I\u2019m&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE BARISTA (to another barista): Did you hear what happened?<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MAN: &#8230; talking about!

It\u2019s not our store, it\u2019s not our store, yeah, that\u2019s so F-bomb, sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here is Howard Schultz, who is the founder, CEO, head honcho.

And I think what will come out of is that, given the resources that we do have, that we will provide them with a foundation of learning and provide them with an opportunity to be part of our company, either directly or indirectly, as a result of this situation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look, I don\u2019t have time to react here \u2019cause of time, but that\u2019s incredible. That\u2019s mind-boggling.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Starbuck\u2019s is gonna use their resources to set these two guys up. They have an interest in real estate, so what can we do to help advise them and support their own business endeavors? Give \u2019em a plot of land, build \u2019em a building, whatever, so long as they don\u2019t sue us. As you heard the first spite with the black customer, it\u2019s reparations time, baby. Lifetime Starbucks coffee is just the opener.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I got an email during the break, &#8220;What do you mean, &#8216;Starbucks is the quintessential liberal organization\u2019?&#8221; Aw, come on, folks! Don\u2019t get into a little smackdown on this. You can\u2019t deny &#8212; nobody can deny &#8212; that Starbucks has a left-leaning, liberal-tilt identity. Come on! This is exactly&#8230; If you don\u2019t know that, then you can\u2019t vote in an informed manner. If you don\u2019t know that Starbucks is every bit the leftist organization that ESPN is or that the Democrat Party is, then, man, you are gonna have to work overtime to get up to speed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-Protest-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-Protest-B.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-Protest-B-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\nAnd that\u2019s why racism abounding in Starbucks is such a shock, because, look! The left teaches that they are perfect. The left is nonjudgmental. They don\u2019t notice race, sex, gender. It\u2019s only the right that does, right? It\u2019s only conservatives and Republicans that are racists and sexists and bigots and homophobes and all of that. But in liberal organizations, there\u2019s no discrimination against women. They make the same amount as men do, right?<\/p>\n<p>Nope. Nope.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t in the Clinton White House. They didn\u2019t at the Clinton State Department. And there\u2019s no racism anywhere in liberal organizations, because they are perfect. Wrong again. There\u2019s racism everywhere in liberalism, and there\u2019s bigotry everywhere in liberalism, and there\u2019s even homophobia in liberalism. It\u2019s just that most of the homophobes know enough to shut up about it. But some of them, it leaks out, and they end up in deep doo-doo.<\/p>\n<p>So now we\u2019ve got racism at Starbucks, and the left is scrambling! If you don\u2019t think that Starbucks has a thoroughbred liberal identity&#8230; (interruption) No, I\u2019m not saying don\u2019t go there; don\u2019t drink the coffee. It\u2019s fine if you want to. I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m just telling you that they are politically engaged. They help to politicize the culture. They donate exclusively to Democrats and far left-wing causes. They\u2019re big believers in the climate change hoax. They\u2019re political!<\/p>\n<p>This is my point, folks. The leftists have made everything political. We did not do that, except to the extent that conservatism is common sense. So common sense wherever it is, if you want to call it political, fine, but it really isn\u2019t. The left has turned everything in this country into some leftist political hysterical propaganda. Sports! Sports has been politicized. They\u2019re on the way to ruining it! They\u2019re on the way to ruining sports media.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re on the way to ruining sports in terms of the actual athletics and competition. Television shows, movies. I just read a review. You know, I read everything, folks. It\u2019s what I like to do. It\u2019s required for my gig here. I stumbled across a liberal really fed up with the remake of Will and Grace, the comedy show that I guess broke ground with gay and lesbian characters being portrayed in normal settings. This liberal reviewer was all fed up that they\u2019ve watered it down too much and it isn\u2019t funny and it\u2019s not getting the political message out the way it used to.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t tell me these people haven\u2019t politicized everything. Education, the internet. What do you think net neutrality is? Net neutrality is just a different name for the left having their people regulate the thing. So you\u2019ll forgive me if I am laughing uproariously and with great glee over the left now attacking one of its own sacred institutions: Starbucks. So Starbucks is shutting down all its stores to teach its employees about racial diversity and sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041718-Starbucks-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041718-Starbucks-Logo.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041718-Starbucks-Logo-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Again, I\u2019m telling you: If they have to do this, then something is really, really wrong. By definition, there isn\u2019t any racial insensitivity in liberalism. Therefore, everybody working at Starbucks should already be a perfect human being. And to the extent that they\u2019re not or that they\u2019re unhappy, it\u2019s gonna be some conservative\u2019s fault! These are the same employees ordered to talk to customers about race in 2015. Do you remember that? Have you forgotten that?<\/p>\n<p>There was a racial incident at a Starbucks somewhere, and the Starbucks management ordered employees to actually talk to customers. Starbucks opened a Starbucks in Ferguson in the middle of the riots to prove their purity. Do you think that\u2019s not political? That\u2019s saying, &#8220;Look at us. Look at how pure we are! Look at how great we are! Look at how unracist we are! We will open a store in the middle of the riots &#8212; and we will do so fearlessly, because we are perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Starbucks, like many other left-wing organizations, has set itself up as the great arbiter, the great definer, the great purveyor of left-wing ethics and principles. It\u2019s a coffee shop, for crying out loud! Teach your employees how to make coffee, be nice to people, and be done with it. But, no! We got turn \u2019em into political warriors. We gotta turn \u2019em into political messengers. We gotta turn \u2019em into political activists.<\/p>\n<p>Just sell your damn coffee and make your profit &#8212; and feel guilty about it if you do. It\u2019s your only job: Sell coffee that people want to drink and make a profit. I know it\u2019s embarrassing. (interruption) What? (interruption) What do you mean, &#8220;They\u2019re not embarrassed&#8221;? Privately they&#8230;? They do everything they can to cover up how much money they make! They\u2019re not running around bragging about it. They\u2019re not saying, &#8220;Look at us! Look at our capitalistic we are! Look at how successful we are!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They cover it up. They\u2019re trying to make it look like they\u2019re not in the business for money like all liberals do. What think the purpose of a nonprofit is? The purpose of a nonprofit is to give liberals a great image that they don\u2019t care about money. Nonprofit! Nonprofit equals bulls&#8230; It does. &#8220;Nonprofit&#8221; my (pfft!) formerly sizable rear end. Nonprofit. Cut me some slack. Here\u2019s&#8230; We got more sound on this. Here\u2019s Eric Holder. He\u2019s going to help Starbucks train their racist employees. Holder is going to be conducting many of the racial retraining sensitivity seminars.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-218281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/holderhandsup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/holderhandsup.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/holderhandsup-300x120.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>HOLDER: They understand that what happened in Philadelphia, uh, was inappropriate, was wrong, and they want to try to get things right. And I think that what they\u2019re gonna tried to do is close the stores, go through some unconscious bias training. Uh, put together a panel &#8212; of which I am a member &#8212; to help advise them in &#8212; in that regard and hopefully not have a repeat of that. But what I think is that we should not as a society, as a country feel comfort in the notion that this is a Starbucks problem. This is a problem that is much larger.<\/p>\n<p>MAN: Right!<\/p>\n<p>HOLDER: This is a problem our nation has to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You see, my friends? It\u2019s never about one isolated little pocket. No. It\u2019s the whole damn country sucks. The whole damn country\u2019s a bunch of racist pigs. Don\u2019t blame Starbucks. Don\u2019t blame them alone. This is everywhere. This is from the guy, Eric Holder, who as attorney general said that we\u2019re a bunch of &#8220;cowards&#8221; for not talking about race nearly enough. Not talking about race? That\u2019s all we do! We\u2019ve had so many damn conversations about race.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what makes it amazing. Starbucks even has racists in there. (interruption) It\u2019s a good point. It\u2019s a good point. I have to acknowledge, it\u2019s a good point. Why didn\u2019t Holder, why didn\u2019t Howard Schultz, why didn\u2019t all these people fix this problem when Obama was president? Why wasn\u2019t the example set by the first African-American itself enough alone to change the culture at Starbucks? How could there have been racist thinking, racist behavior in Starbucks during the Obama administration, and why didn\u2019t they do something about it then?<\/p>\n<p>But you see, we gotta let Starbucks off the hook because it\u2019s not just them. It\u2019s all of us. It\u2019s everywhere. And we have Mellody Hobson. Mellody Hobson is a Starbucks member of the board of directors. So she has to go out&#8230; This is profoundly embarrassing to these liberals that believe their institutions are pure and not affected. So she was on the CBS Evening News last night. The anchor Jeff Glor said, &#8220;What was your reaction when you first saw this video,&#8221; this mean-spirited, extremist, racist behavior to two black customers at a Starbucks?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-271392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-2.36.26-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-2.36.26-PM.png 830w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-2.36.26-PM-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-2.36.26-PM-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>HOBSON: I was stick about it, I have to tell you, because I knew that was not the company where I\u2019ve been on the board for all of these years, and I knew the integrity of the people and what the company stands for and aspires to be. And I was very, very, very disappointed and expressed that right away and said we\u2019ve gotta make this right. But everyone agreed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. Of course, everybody agreed. We\u2019ve gotta make this right. How did it go wrong, Mellody? I mean, you\u2019re running around &#8212; look, folks, these are the people running around pointing fingers of blame at us all damn day. Whenever they spot racism, and it\u2019s usually among people that own guns, when they spot it, they\u2019re pointing fingers of blame, they\u2019re shouting insults at us.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re demanding the federal government take action against us. And yet where is it really? It\u2019s inside their walls! It\u2019s inside their institutions and companies, no less than Starbucks. And so now Mellody Hobson has to look inward. She was very, very disappointed. And she told \u2019em right away, she told the rest of the board of directors she was really, really disappointed. We\u2019ve got to make this right.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess Starbucks is gonna give us the ongoing instruction on making or paying reparations. There was one more question here for Mellody Hobson from the CBS anchor, Jeff Glor. &#8220;Okay. So taking a half day to do racial bias training. Does that accomplish the goals?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HOBSON: This is serious. We\u2019ve only ever closed the stores once in the history of the company and that was back in 2008. So this is a big deal, and this is us saying, &#8220;We are going to take whatever time and energy we need to take, spend the money that we need to spend, because obviously there will be lost sales during that period, to make sure that our people are trained about these issues and why this is so important to create an environment that speaks to the community that we stand for at Starbucks. This is a big deal.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What happened to &#8220;this is who we are?&#8221; What happened to &#8220;these are our values?&#8221; Where are your values? Why do you have to train anybody? Why are you hiring racists? Why are you hiring people that don\u2019t fit the Starbucks ethic? Are they fooling you? Do you not know how to recognize them? Are they sneaking past you? This is seriously what gets me.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, they present themselves as pure. They\u2019re the ones that are perfect. The problems exist elsewhere in society. They are the answer, right? So how can this be? Why do you need retraining seminars? Why do you need any of that? Why do you need to make sure people are trained about these issues? Why do you need to create an environment that speaks to the community we stand for? If you speak for the community, then why is there anybody in there not speaking of the community?<\/p>\n<p>You know, Obama used to run around (imitating Obama), &#8220;This is not who we are. These are not our values.&#8221; Well, obviously there\u2019s some sabotage going on at Starbucks. What do you think is sneaking in there and getting hired? From what conservative group?<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Trump supporters are going in there and getting hired under the pretext of being clean and pure as the wind-driven snow and then&#8211; (laughing) No. There are some Trump supporters in Philadelphia. I know them. There are at least four. There are four Trump supporters in Philadelphia that I know.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-cup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-cup.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Starbucks-cup-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Wesley in Carneys Point&#8230; Is that New Jersey? Great to have you, Wesley. How you doing?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (garbled cell) I\u2019m doing good, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. I just had a point about Starbucks. I live close to Philadelphia and get their news and it was my understanding through the news reports that the manager of that store is just following policy by not allowing anyone to use the restrooms if they hadn\u2019t purchased anything. And then these gentleman refused to leave the store and that\u2019s when the lady called the police.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, wait a minute. What is a transgender to do? Because Starbucks is supposed to be opening and welcoming of transgenders. That\u2019s a big liberal cause. And, you know, transgenders have the right and freedom to use any bedroom they want! And Starbucks is gonna tell them that they can\u2019t use it unless they buy something?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I understand that\u2019s their policy. Whether that\u2019s part of it or not, I don\u2019t know. But the manager is only following store policy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, actually, though, what is wrong with that, in your mind? What\u2019s wrong with that? I mean, there are gas stations that won\u2019t let you use the restroom &#8212; even with the condition some of them are in. They won\u2019t let you use the rest or the condom machine inside unless you buy something.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s right. I work for a little business around here and there\u2019s places I go as part of the business that won\u2019t let you use their restroom. So, I mean, that seems to be policy all over. I just wonder how far this is gonna go now that it started with Starbucks just because the manager was following store policy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I get your point. I mean, Starbucks should be open and accepting and tolerant and understanding. When you gotta go, you gotta go, and Starbucks should be sensitive enough to understand the concept of a bulging bladder, a weak sphincter. In either case, they should be accommodating. But on the other hand, it cuts both ways. They won\u2019t let you use a table. You can\u2019t walk into a restaurant, sit down, have a table, an dnot order something eventually.<\/p>\n<p>And if the place has maitre d\u2019 or something like that, you\u2019re not gonna be seated, or you won\u2019t stay seated long if you don\u2019t. It cuts&#8230; (interruption) What about a bar? What about a bar? (interruption) Oh, of course, at a bar! They\u2019re not gonna let you sit at the bar unless you buy something. You can\u2019t sit in there and just camp out. &#8220;Oh, I\u2019m waiting on my contact.&#8221; &#8220;Sorry. You gotta buy something first.&#8221; That\u2019s a policy I really&#8230; I understand it. It became&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Rush-Coffee-Beans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Rush-Coffee-Beans.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041818-Rush-Coffee-Beans-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>They were the enforcing what equally? The restroom policy? Is that what the guy said? I couldn\u2019t understand half what he was saying. His call&#8230; (impression) &#8220;He sounded like this I couldn\u2019t understand him.&#8221; So I was just&#8230; (interruption) Oh. (interruption) Ohhhhhhhh. Oh. Oh. Starbucks, it\u2019s alleged, was throwing the black guys out who weren\u2019t buying anything but the white guys were allowed to stay? See, I don\u2019t understand that. How could liberals be so insensitive? How could they be so discriminatory?<\/p>\n<p>(interruption) Really, there\u2019s a Starbucks video in LA? So a white guy wanted to use a bathroom and they said, &#8220;Sure, have at it.&#8221; A black guy wanted to use the bedroom and they said no? Exactly my point. How can Starbucks&#8230;? This should not be happening at Starbucks. This would not happen at the DNC. This would not happen at Tom Steyer\u2019s house. This wouldn\u2019t happen. How come there is this kind of discrimination at what would be a flagship liberal cultural institution? I\u2019m genuinely&#8230; I\u2019m serious about this.<\/p>\n<p>It may sound funny, but I\u2019m not trying to be flippant. I\u2019m dead serious about this. These are the people that preach to us about their perfection. These are the people that run around pointing fingers all day long at people they think are discriminatory, racist, sexist, bigoted, all that. They do it constantly! It\u2019s how they shut people up. And then you find out inside their own walls, inside their own businesses, they\u2019re the ones that actually engage until this stuff.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just rampant, blatant hypocrisy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It&#039;s reparations time, baby.
