Starbucks is creating its own Black Lives Matter shirt for employees to wear if they choose.

. The move comes after the coffee chain reportedly banned employees from wearing Black Lives Matter gear.

Starbucks Foundation last week pledged to donate $1 million to organizations that promote racial equity and social justice. The organizations will be nominated by employees. In 2015 Starbucks was widely panned for its effort to spark discussions around race by having baristas write “Race Together” on customers’ cups. The company quickly ended the practice in response to the criticism.

Let’s say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR PRESIDENT.

Starbucks America's biggest racists are causing violence and racial disturbances amongst its people by claiming black nothing black matters

Stop the pretense, just be normal and serve everyone, no matter what race you are.... we are one and one nation, under God. ALL LIVES MATTER ! People should be educated about that. We are color blind, with our bros and sisters.

👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Interesting considering they use actual slaves to cultivate and pick coffee beans in 3rd world countries around the world, so that entitled rich Americans can gas light super trendy feel good causes while they drink that very coffee that costs almost $10 US dollars a cup.

I can't wait to see it

'Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble...' But Starbucks will co-opt BlackLivesMatter for their own corporate purposes?!?

Isn't Starbucks the company that has 6 year olds picking their coffee beans?

So what happens if you are the only employee not wearing it in the store?

Hopefully they’ll also create the Hispanic Lives Matter shirts, since we’re making some.

Not getting coffee there.

People are old enough to remember Starbucks shop called police when Blackman was sitting in the store . But never called police for a white man. 👎👎👎❤️🌺♥️🕉

ALLLIVESMATTER

Ban starbucks

How about a decent cup of coffee for a reasonable price and let the employees dress anyway they want.

Boycott

abc just doing their part

How about ALL lives matter And your coffee is shit anyway

Are the making MAGA uniform options as well? Asking for a friend....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 TrumpLandslide2020

Screw Starbucks I hope they fold

Boycotting Starbucks for years now

No coffee for you !!!!

For what Starbucks charges for a cup of coffee the should give you a shirt with every cup.

I’d buy one, Starbucks.

Hahahahaha. Typical of Starbucks.

How is it u file from bankructy But u have money to fund all these other issues... pay the bills man

Do t go there...liberal to the core

Where were You when Boko Haram was killing innocent people in Nigeria!!!! They are still doing it. Where was Your BLM then? Dumbasses

Time to stock up on more Nespresso

Pathetic

No I am good, I'll make coffee at home or go to dunkin fought or that fancy Itallian Coffee house.

Never drinking Starbucks again.

I’m still not going to Starbucks people know what you did

Kudos to Starbucks; I’m a black women and really hoped you wouldn’t do that; you Starbucks, have always shown understanding to the plight of mankind.

I love protesting while on the clock. Seems like it should be allowed at every business! Lol

Women getting raped matters ,children being abused matters,domestic violence matters! And on amd on Get these victims tshirts!

Give it a rest

I look forward to the Jesus is Lord shirts. If they are going to start allowing slogans and movements, the King’s name should be represented. Fair is fair.

Wow

never going to Starbucks again. Not even a cold brew. What happened to banning BLM?

I'll need to buy one or two as a customer.

Any corporation would have guidelines about what their employees can/cannot wear. Makes sense that Starbucks HR would want to ensure that those representing Starbucks do so in a manner that's not inappropriate or offensive to the corporate image. Hence, the corporate BLM shirt.

Yes this is one black life that mattered. But the rioters killed him because he was a police officer. How ironic! Sounds like the protestors really didnt care about his color. But they killed him for being a policeman.

Disgusting

Dollar short. Day late.

Don't drink their

They do have a fertility goddess on their logo.

All lives matter but I don’t waste my money on $5 cups of coffee anyway

Not biased at all🙄

Do a story on where all the money goes that is given to blm? It doesn't go to black people Most goes to the dem party, Why do you think the dems want people to forget the past. DEMS Party of the kkk and they still want to own blacks

Starbucks be like:

who cares about your antifa hang out?

Well damn!! I guess Starbucks is off the list... I’m going to save some $$, hubby will be happy!

BTW, that fish is a 'SIREN.' Theory: 'Starbucks logo was designed to reflect the seductive imagery of the sea. There's some lady with long hair wearing a crown and holding what appears to be two giant salmon? Decapitated palm trees? Miniature sand worms from Beetlejuice?'

🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

It should just say 'Black coffee matters'

What about Trump and Biden shirts? Hmmmm I foresee a lot of lawsuits coming your way.

People aren’t stupid, they see this leftist shit show reoccur every election cycle. What we have is occupy Wall Street,BLM an Antifa wait for ANY,excuse (During an election year) tare shit up and burn cities in their GET OUT THE VOTE drive. The 3groups are all connected to th DNC

Time to boycott Starbucks

I will not buy or drink any Starbucks coffee any longer ...

TuckerCarlson What hypocrites Don’t non black Lives matter ?Cowards sheep herd mentality sailing w winds of Murder & Mayhem created byBLM thugs.History shows 1 cannot Appease Bullies Sadly 1 reason Racism still exists in All communities is due to Disproportionate crime Violence

People should get a free one if they order their coffee black.

GTFO

OMG! Sellout much?

Ok.

Lol does it say “we support black lives, but if your black don’t hang out too long, we’ll call the police”🤣🤣🤣

It's funny how companies think creating t-shirts will make the problem go away. I believe we had these t-shirts 10 years ago? BlackLivesMatter

It is a workplace, not a place for politics, everyone can hold meetings to find solutions to racism.....

Their brand/comms team is really struggling to get it right, aren’t they? 😂 learningishard justdotherightthingtobeginwith makeitdontfakeit

Desperate after having to shutter almost 400 stores. Back the Blue.

Now that’s what I call HARD BACKPEDALING

Deleting my Starbucks app now, screw the points. Overpriced coffee is one thing, but mindless corp wokeness is unacceptable. BLM are anti science and family anarchists, I don't goto coffee shops to see political messages.

el movimiento MeToo el TimesUp y ahora BLM. Acciones de transgresión a los derechos civiles.

Imagine being the one employee not wearing the shirt....should be fired for racism immediately

THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG ALL LIVES MATTER AND DON'T SINGLE OUT A RACE U PUTTING A DIVISION IN COUNTRY !

SIMPS- bow down to the fascist, deep state, media controlled liberals. Free Speech... unless your conservative, or white, or christian, or male. WhitePrivilege BlackLivesMatter Democrats Starbucks

Business should be neutral n stick to business not political or social causes. Many businesses especially larger ones are prone to ripping off staff n customers n shouldn’t ride the high horse on moral n ethical issues.

These corporations can't even do their BS PR stunts properly.

Ccp. ADALSAMMA

Racist

Will look like a choice on the surface.

Capitalism co-opting a social movement for it's own end.

Its better a salary encrease.

What a nonsense in this world. Yesterday I saw a homeless with a paper in his hands:”Homeless lives matter too”! Nobody cares! Watch this link, most of you have no clue what the daily life of these people looks like. Nobody cares!

Haven’t been in years...no need to start now!!!

Probably..., they wanna make looters believe that they, truly, support the cause, so they won't get vandilized or looted. They're trying to buy conciousness.

showtime

Black lives matter, but not at the expense of other lives: Jews, Native Americans, Asians, other non-whites. Kinda share the playing field, please! Not all about one race. 750 million Black people in the world!

Can you guys create a JEWISH LIVES MATTER? While your at it? Someone has tried to kill every Jew at least five times in history, starting with the Prince of Shechem who raped Dinah, the sister of Simeon & Levi, the sons of Jacob.

'After backlash' should have been added to headline - do better

Peoples heads are really stuck up their asses!!

Haven't visited Starbucks in recent years and see no reason to do so now.

another tshirts AllLivesMatter

WHY NOW? Starbucks was put on notice that a BOYCOTT was coming. BLM MOVEMENT doesn’t just consist of Black and Brown People. ALL RACE MAKE UP THE MOVEMENT!❤️❤️❤️

Garbage coffee and political mindset

Starbucks Can employees wear MAGA Gear 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Asking for a friend

😘

Done with Starbucks and amazon

Glad I dnt pay for over priced coffee.

Starbucks black lives matter? Going with that optic? Fuck pins, how can we brand this?

All lives matter

After they forbid employees from protesting.

Leave to a SOCIALIST LIBERAL SNOWFLAKE SOROS TERRORIST Organization like Starbucks to Push there Political beliefs on Customers. No wonder you closing 400 Locations soon you’ll be BANKRUPT and will no longer Exists. I can get a better cup of Coffee at KANGAROO over priced Piss.

All they care about is $. Ppl boycotted them and now they reverse the decision.. this IS performative activism.. also a great distraction from the fact that this week they left their employees with the only option of being fired or continue working. Starbucks CancelStarbucks

They are really trying to walk this backwards. WHY on earth would anyone think its a good idea to ban anything BLM right now. Self destructive coffee.

CEO was castrated by twitter mob! I will choose not to spend my money there anymore!

Dark roasts matter

Starbucks bends the knee to the left...SHOCKING!

freedom2debate No.

Cave.....

BOYCOTT

Hmmmm

How about All lives matter. More white were shot over the year than blacks

I guess white and Asian lives dont matter to them.

Just so fake

That was a quick 180...

ALL LIVES MATTER!!!!!!!’ 😤😡

This is nice, however it should create one for all causes that would be fair

Still not going there

Way to stir the pot

Cuz they scared to loose

Starbucks better now let any employee wear anything they want to represent any cause of their choosing. Fair is fair right? Anarchy in the work place yep that will go over well.

Make all your cups black! Really turn up the pandering.

Let's see the bullying and ridicule of being racist if they choose not to wear the shirt.

Great market. Hit it from the ground up!

Nope, no take backs. You already showed your true colors. BoycottStarbucks

How about a MAGA shirt for employees that work for Starbucks. You have to be impartial and fair.

I’d like a MAGA one if they’re taking orders hellodunkindonuts BoycottStarbucks pussies

Omg

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

If Starbucks does this but doesn't allow their employees to wear Blue Lives Matter, or MAGA hats, this is discrimination. EEOC needs to know they are doing this.

Lol

Dump on Starbucks, don't dump on Starbucks, good answers are in short supply.

Starbucks are you getting the shirts from a black designer

can it create all the ones below in the name of AllLivesMatter not just black Starbucks a European one a Asian one a Hispanic one a Indian one a Arab

They only did this because they knew the words BoycottStarbucks was trending not due to the fact they care

KDWRenoGirl Starbucks are racist to sorry to say.

If they choose. Make sure you allow them freedom and don’t not penalize them if they choose not to. Just saying

Can people wear MAGA hats in Starbucks?

And the employees have to pay for the new uniforms.

Too late... and why are you making BLM shirts instead of elevating the voices of artists who been doing this work?

And if they choose not to wear it, they will be called racists.

KDWRenoGirl conservative christmas snowflakes coming early this year

Never ever purchased a Starbucks beverage .. never will ..

Really 180ing this bitch eh?

“Ignorance is the parent of fear.”

I see your true color .Starbucks

I like it, they are good at creating new things 👏👏

Starbucks back peddling like the president !! I’m glad I don’t waste my money there!!!

And they will sell them at the stores - another way to make a dollar.

Fool us once Starbucks shame on you, fool us twice your for a serious ride. Shouldn't ever fool with our emotions in a crisis like this.

Nespresso pods 70 cents each. 🤺

Now here's where it gets sketchy We must be Careful that Corporate America Doesn't Amalgamate it's prestige and Financial contributions,to the detriment of the focus of THE MOVEMENT Lest We become Slaves to Corporate America Tentacles

We back the blues

Colored people don’t drink coffee man you guys are just jumping on the boat

It's amazing what networks run with. The shirt was always coming regardless of 'public pressure.' I would have bet my entire life savings on it. It just had to come out faster cause of the misinformation spreading.

Who wants to bet that it doesn't say; All Lives Matter. Including the little Black Girl that is killed in crossfire... or, the little Black Boy, sitting at his kitchen table, and being killed, in a drive-by shooting. No, that doesn't matter, it is the White/Black killing...

You can’t take it back now Starbucks

Fuck that. I want a white power rules. This is so stupid and getting old.

I evaluate this action is good for “Black Lives Matter” movement.

Politics does not mix with morning coffee

They’re very clever

Starbucks can an employee wear a 'blue lives matter, ' or 'back the blue' shirt, especially during police memorial month?

I knew they would cave to the domestic terrorists

Fucking oppertunist !! Company is failing so jump on board and try to make money out of the protests! Next NO white cream or milk, only black coffee LOL. So many companies have their marketing departments working around the clock to suck up every cent they can make out of this!

LOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!

cometisonf1zzle: Black Lives have always mattered to my family, as well as all the rest of the colors on our Planet Earth! As a Chinese Astronaut observed from the Shuttle,'No Fences, No Borders!'

Since they're doing a Black Supremacy shirt,will they also be doing a White Supremacy one?

Can employees wear MAGA gear?

most of these companies are only getting onboard for the optics.

😂

No more Starbucks horrible company

How fast can you ride a bicycle backwards?

FUCK Starbucks

AboutTime

Can we get them to wear a tee shirt of a program we like also?

Add me on Snapchat Avasophia2311 for my nudes , I do hookups too

God I HATE Starbucks! So does that mean you’ll allow the white employees to wear “White Lives Matter”now and “Chinese Lives Matter, etc.,”

Just shut down

Smh Starbucks BlackLivesMatter

I’m going to get a coffee maker. If I want bs I can watch on my tv at home.

'if they choose' Theres probably an 'or they'll get fired' in there somewhere.

So Starbucks picks a play out of the drewbrees playbook and successfully pisses everyone off.

Problem solved 👍.

가장 완벽한 나라인 하나님의 왕국에 들어갈 준비를 해야합니다.

The marketing is always awful and divisive...”Black Lives Matter” should’ve been “We Matter Too” and “Defund the Police” should’ve been “Progress for Police” or something...shouldn’t have to explain what is actually meant

Black coffee matters.

They will have no choice, or they will be labeled a racist. Starbucks will only be serving Black coffee, White milk is racist. BlackLivesMattters

Bigbucks Matter, apparently. KAG2020TRUMPVICTORY worldsgonemad

It looks like it's Dunkin then. I like a donut with my coffee. Not politics.

F Starbucks !!!! What about other lives ?

Just make your own coffee, folks. Who needs this overpriced hot cow diarrhea anyways?
