Stolen Americano

tragedy at Starbucks this morning...someone stole my Americano. I could of course, care less as they just made me another one...but the pour sole who probably ordered a grande skim white mocha latte with a dash of carmel is likely driving to work in disgust. Ha!

Time at Strabucks creeps me out...but I was forced this morning to take an appraisal of the place. I read the cups they were handing out. "Today our schools are just as segregated as they were in 1969, the year after Dr. King dies. Race is the biggest challenge we face, and we have proven unequal to facing it" Nice thought...but I thought the whole campaign about these "the way I see it phrases was suppose to provide a forum for average americans to enlighten average americans. For some reason, the board chairman of the NAACP doesn't seem to fit into this category. Question: are they handing out cups with these phrases in the deep south?
