I'm not assuming anything but I highly doubt race had anything to with it. That Starbucks gets some very high ratings and is noted for its friendly staff. And those guys, clearly, refused to leave when asked. That's trespassing pure and simple. They could have saved everyone a lot of trouble by (as noted) ordering some damn coffee. But they pulled the race card instead. I don't buy that as they were in the wrong. When you don't buy something and the proprietor asks you to leave you leave- no matter what color you are. That's what well mannered people do.

Excusing this behavior doesn't help black people. It hurts them.
