Black men arrested at Starbucks give settlement to charity - GoFuckYourself.com

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Two black men arrested for sitting at a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything settled with the city Wednesday for a symbolic $1 each and a promise from officials to set up a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs.

The men and their lawyer told The Associated Press the settlement was an effort to make sure something positive came out of the incident.

"We thought long and hard about it and we feel like this is the best way to see that change that we want to see," said Donte Robinson, one of those arrested. "It's not a right-now thing that's good for right now, but I feel like we will see the true change over time."

The arrest of Rashon Nelson and Robinson on April 12 touched off a furor around the U.S. over racial profiling. They were led away in handcuffs and accused of trespassing after the manager called police, saying the men refused to buy anything or leave. After spending hours in jail, they were released and no charges were filed.

Their arrest record will be expunged as part of the deal.

The men said they were waiting at the coffee shop in the city's well-to-do Rittenhouse Square neighborhood for a business meeting with a third man about a potential real estate opportunity.

"I am pleased to have resolved the potential claims against the city in this productive manner," Mayor Jim Kenney said. "This was an incident that evoked a lot of pain in our city and put us under a national spotlight for unwanted reasons."

The entrepreneur program will be for Philadelphia public high school students.

Nelson said he considers the incident a case of being at "the wrong place at the right time because of the outcome that can come out of it."

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross, who is black, at first defended his officers' conduct, but days later issued a televised apology for the way the Starbucks call was handled.

During the uproar, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson came to Philadelphia to apologize to the men. He also announced that more than 8,000 Starbucks stores in the U.S. would close on the afternoon of May 29 so nearly 175,000 employees can get training in unconscious bias.

Those men are good people

Not sure about trusting the city of Philadelphia to not give that $200k to just young white entrepreneurs though

Why did the city settle that when it was StarBucks fault. The city was only actiing on the call from the manager.

Should be SB setting it up

That's what I thought - they can afford to be generous - there is a lot more coming and this will help them in the long run...

This is a mass media spin trying to paint these as good samaritans - but they also received an undisclosed sum from Starbucks.

2 black men arrested at Philadelphia Starbucks settle with city for $200,000 youth program | 6abc.com

This whole 'charity' thing sounds nice and there's nothing wrong with it apart from 200k of tax payer money used for a program that either should or shouldn't have been in the budget.

But it is also merely a charade to calm down the public while there's a shakedown that was orchestrated by their lawyer, extorting money from Starbucks directly.

So in reality - they made the city spend an additional 200 k of tax payer money while cashing in what is likely six figures from Starbucks, with a hefty share for their lawyer. Doesn't sound like charity does it.

The IRS will want to see theirs as well, what is the charitable donation limit I wonder?

Paid because of non-existent racism. Calling fake racism is pretty damn lucrative, but it only seems to work when someone is black unfortunately. Otherwise i know what i'd be doing, visiting every single starbucks i can find, don't order anything, refuse to go, get arrested, call it racism and KA-CHING! Pay day!

you say that even after all the events... you are clueless and will most likely always be that way.

He does not claim that racist events do not exist.

Let's not forget the fact that they did NOTHING wrong. They certainly do not need to be vilified for simply waiting for someone at Starbucks.

They didn't make the city do anything. The city also has to orchestrate a charade to make nice with the people.

Please post those events that are PROVEN to be motivated by SKIN COLOR. No events that are the simple result of action-reaction, or mere chance, where the person who cries wolf invented the racist narrative him/herself to get attention or because of their own racist black and white views on life.

I understand that the city arrested them.

However they were acting on the call from StraBucks. In Most states in the US that absolves them of any liability for the arrest providing it is calm and peaceful like this was.

Nor the Starbucks manager or the city (police) did anything wrong, they acted the way that they would be expected to act in such situation (loitering).

Certainly nothing that would justify a cringe fest of gargantuan proportions and a six figure, out of court payout to the alleged 'victims'. In a sane society that values common sense, this would be a non issue.

Yes, as a matter of fact i have. Didn't come into the news though. That's why you don't hear anything about it when that happens. Wrong narrative - white guy - so won't get any media coverage - like it should be by the way, tiny incidents like this don't deserve to be world news. Shit like this happens every day, to every single race - hence the racism claims are total and complete bullshit. No company kicks out someone based on skin color. Doesn't exist in our western world.
