The Title of this video is, "Dr. Phil, Black Girl Thinks She Is White"
When I first saw this video of Treasure Richardson, I knew from the start it had to be a set up, a hoax, a scam or some such thing as that. In the ensuing days after the airing of this segment, with a little ground work and exposure by Treasure's Sister, Nina, it has come to light, that it is simply a scam for ratings and notoriety, perpetrated by a young woman and her mother who come from a very painful home life experience. While that is no excuse, it does help to fan the flame of the outrageousness of their behavior that subsequently landed them on the Dr. Phil Show.
From my experience
with African Americans who identified as "white" it would only take a
moment or two before the "black-ish" would come out. The illusion of race is really to perpetrate
the fraud of the difference in color, when in fact it is the difference in
ethnicity, culture, social orientation, lifestyle, etc. along with genetics
that cause people of a certain ethnicity to manifest physically in a certain general form causing a general
grouping of individuals.
To my thinking,
White Supremacy is just as toxic as Black Supremacy. The two paradigms are pitched against one
another to keep the separation active, but from a high station above the
clouds, looking down on this planet, you see people, different people, but
people nonetheless.
To me it shows how
Creative the All Encompassing Divine Force can be in expressing itself through
our physical reality. A garden filled
with one type of flower holds a certain beauty but a garden of many flowers has
a certain exquisite beauty that leans towards being quite breathtaking.
In this video, I
will be citing a commentary on this Dr. Phil segment, submitted to me, from an
email buddy, named Chaz White.With all
the commentary on this segment, I have foundMr. White's commentary to be the most profound so with his permission I
will share it here.
OnMonday, October 29, 2018, Mr. White wrote:
"Such
as a man thinketh... Such as he is."
Blind
Ridiculous Conformity ensures success in the "out-sane asylum"
controlled by con artists. In wrestling,you control the head of your opponent to direct the body of your
opponent.
This
show, like many others could be well scripted performance art. The programming
is directed by mischief makers, i.e. authors of confusion, to condition
mentalities for continued slavery of the populace.
We
should first ask: What is the purpose of this story? Why is she being featured
and promoted?? How does it serve system lords?
Confusion
that confuses to more confusion is understandable in western cultures based
upon confusion, while making that confusion seem like normal behavior.
She is
only telling the same lie as so called "white people" tell.
If
others can tell the same lie, why should not she?
Pay
attention to Dr. Phil's comments and assertions. They are misguidedly
misinformed and shows his ignorance based on the inconsistencies in his
description of race being biologically definable.
He is
after all DR. PHIL. Which means that his thoughts and research should be
responsibly connected to the information he dispenses to the public such that
it educates, rather than sensationalize the mind.
The so
called, "well educated," therapist was not any better. Neither she
nor Dr. Phil chose to address Race, Racism, or Whiteness, with the fact based
approach which she so eloquently referred.
It's all
a sham, scam, and ham, G-d Damn!
The
system encourages scientific ignorance and moral stupidity, then preys upon it.
Snow is
white. The albumen of a cooked egg is white. Clouds are white.
Humans
are not White!
The
concept of whiteness is the source of racism. Every other definition of race is
based on this flawed make-believe of "whiteness."
The
invention of "whiteness" is rooted in pretension and presumption of
the mentally/emotionally unstable mind. It is "Royalism," that is
beyond reproach, inquiry or inspection. It's great to be the a royal or
associate one's validity with royals.
Royalty
does what it wants to do, without question It is always the victor with
the spoils. It is the way of spoiled, overindulged children. They get their way
at the expense of others deemed by them as inferiors, no matter what.
The
designation of so called "white people" is even scientifically
inconsistent with the definition of white itself. If white is the mixture of
all colors (i.e. wavelengths of light), then that would mean that so
called "white folks" are the most colored folks of all folks.
The
inconsistency is heard when someone uses the oxy-morron that describes a person
as a so called "black albino!"
Incidentally,
the largest contingent of Albinos is in East Africa.
The
attachment to "Whiteness" used to define any Humans, as
superior, is a pathological dis-ease designed to soothe mental and emotional
instability, while cloaking inadequacies and validating oppression upon any
arbitrarily group designated as "not so called white".
The
quality of the content of ones character has nothing to do with physical
attributes of Humans. It has more to do with behavior and beliefs upon which
that behavior is based.
All
Humans without exception are related. That is to say they are family. A
dysfunctional family, but they are family nonetheless. The con artist
profit from the dysfunction and keeping the Human dysfunctional. Read Stephen
J. Gould's, "The Misrepresentation of
Man," to understand the history of the propaganda against
scientific facts.
Here is
an experiment for you: Ask a "so called white person" to prove
without a doubt that he/she is white.
Their
explanations will be no better than this young lady on Dr. Phil. You will see
it is a matter of Blind Ridiculous Conformity or simply put "make
believe."
It is
time to "raid the game," by going to the falsehoods of the matter and
challenging the facts to arrive at the truth.
This concludes, Mr.
White commentary on the Dr. Phil Show, featuring a "Black Girl who thinks
She Is White."
Thanks for
listening, thanks for watching, peace and blessing to you, your family and
loved ones.

Dr
Phil accused of ‘exploitation’ after black teen tells show ‘I’m white’
The title of this
video is "Why Do Black Women Hate Black Men?"
This video is a bit
of departure from my usual uploads.It's
a bit raw and uncut.A few days, I
awakened from sleep and this question was piercing my awareness. "You are
not married, why is that? Do you hate Black men?
I must say I was
taken aback by this thought appearing in my awareness.In fact it troubled me that anyone would
think such a thing.
Typically, I am very
meticulous about how I create and present my videos on my YouTube channel, but
in this case, I am giving it to you raw and uncut, primarily for effect and
specifically to drive home a point.
My voices is a bit
gruff, the background street noise is apparent and even some other mistakes may
be heard, but I felt this would be the best depiction of my sentiment on this
issue.
It's an issue that
seems to prevail in today's society here in the US and throughout the
Diaspora.Black women face these
accusations over and over, but in this case, being asked this question truly
disturbed me.So, I decided to share my
thoughts on it as they flowed from me in the moment.I just grabbed my recorder and started
talking.
Please feel free to
leave your comments below.Your
insights, questions and additional commentary would be much appreciated.

The Beyonce Phenomenon: Appreciation or Exploitation
"Culture
Vultures come in all shapes and sizes, and even those whom you least expect are
doing just that, using another's culture and tradition to further their own
gain."
Now let me start by
saying that it is quite obvious that there are plenty of people who sing the
praises of the Queen B.They shake,
rattle and roll at her awesomeness and find her to be a great example for their
daughters.Then over in a tiny corner,
far from view are just a few people who are not so taken by her.
So, if you are in
the larger community, the ones who praise and adore her, who are her Church
Members who see her as a goddess, who imitate her and blast her songs in your
car on your way to work or where ever you may be headed to, then you might want
to turn off this video and go watch her instead.
If you are among
those Beyoncé Church goers who have an open mind and would like to explore with
me some of the kinks in her armor, then stay with me.And if you are the few in the corner, way
over there who can barely get a word in edgewise due to the clamor coming from
the crowd, you may find that you may agree with some of what I am about to say,
and you may even have something else to think about when it comes to the
"Beyoncé Phenomenon."
Anybody who comes to
my channel and even YouTube who consistently demonetizes my videos, knows that
I "think outside of the box" in my videos.I was raised by my Mother to be a critical
thinker.She never accepted anything on
face value, at least it seemed that way to me.Then after being indoctrinated for 12 years in Catholic school, I
attended a Catholic college and there I learned what critical thinking really
was, as ironic as that might sound. I just happened to be in the right place at
the right time because the professors that I had, were not part of the status
quo and they got flack from the administration because of it.
The "rave"
reviews from the mainstream media as you can see here….
And the too many to
count YouTube videos spin the top of the cult of personality, idol worship and
the main agenda of those in the seats of power over the masses.Who could ask for anything more than the all
out support from the fat cats?
But my mother taught
me to question.She did that by telling
me over and over again, "you are so gullible, you believe anything that
anyone tells you."My younger brother
used to pull all kinds of tricks on me to the point, that I was threatened with
bodily harm if I ever, in life, fell for another one of his tricks.So I had to begin to think, and rethink and
then think again.
Now, I am going to
share my thoughts, it's my channel and until YouTube completely shuts it down,
I will share what I feel and think on my channel.If you do not wish to hear what I have to
say, then feel free to go, but please do not leave disparaging comments calling
me a "hater" simply because I take another stance on this
"Beyoncé Phenomenon."And
throughout this video I am going to tell you why I have another stance, and
it's not something that I have recently taken, I have daughters and while they
are mature adults now, with daughters of their own, I also have sons who have
sons.This Beyoncé Phenomenon" does
not just touch on the girls, it touches the boys as well.
Now, folks may have
thought that since Obama and Michelle gave Beyoncé and JayZ the red carpet
treatment by presenting them at the white house, that made them pass the grade,
but that means nothing to me.Beyoncé is
not a good role model for young girls and JayZ is not a good role model for
young boys, I don't care how many people say that they are.
They cannot
sincerely believe that the violence and sexualization that goes on in their
videos is a model for young people, with the explosive instances of police
brutality against people of color when they ain't doing none of the stuff
depicted in their music videos.
But in this video I
want to focus on Beyoncé, I want to talk about the sexualization of the woman,
I want to talk about how this sexualization of the woman is not appreciation
but exploitation to the point that women who have been abused, seemed to be brushed
off with the adage, "if she didn't want to be treated that way, she
shouldn't wear them kind of clothes", yet, it's okay for Beyoncé and her
team of soldiers to do so, or Hollyweird personalities over all.Why is it okay for those in Hollyweird to
prance around half clad, barely clad, merely clad or in some instances,
uncladded in the public eye, but those poor unknown victims of sexual
molestation are considered hoes and told that they asked for it.
We have a rape
culture in this country! I cannot speak about any other country but the
US.So on the one hand we are bringing
out the Weinstein's and the Cosby's and on the other hand we are lining up
blocks and hours long, and spending top dollar to attend a festival, game or
concert featuring "Beyoncé'" who in my estimation is acting like a
whore on stage in front of the entire world!
Now you might want
to get off this video right now, you Beyoncé Muppets, but I am about to get
real right here and right now.My
thoughts around Coachella have haunted me for days and days and even more days.Who remembers how incensed folks got when
they saw Malia Obama at Coachella last year or maybe it was the year before,
smoking weed and humping?That image and
video went viral.People were appalled
that Malia would be out there "acting" like that and she's the
Presidents daughter, yet on the other hand the Obama's invited JayZ and Beyoncé
to the white house.Michelle even said,
she saw Beyoncé as a role model for young girls. How do you mix both things
together?
I have read several
articles, watch several videos and the voice in the wilderness still continues
to be little ole me.Why can't people
see how perverted this is?Why are people
gobbling up this type of performance with no second thoughts or even
grievances?What is it about the Beyoncé
mania that makes folks blind, deaf and dumb to what is being blasted in from of
their faces?I am totally baffled by the
support that she gets to get up on stage and rock her sacred space in the
nearly pornographic manner in which she does.Has pornography become normalized now, and does an entire show of young
ladies dressed in outfits that used to be only seen in "Frederick of
Hollywood" become okay?
Now place that
within the context of what just happened to Bill Cosby.What do I mean by that?What I mean is, I wonder how many people, who
blame the women for "making" themselves available to Cosby so he
could do what he did to them, support Beyoncé.I just wonder.
Now place that in
the context of all the stuff coming out of Hollyweird, where women and in some
instance men and children are being over sexualized, abused and other criminal
acts being perpetrated against them.How
in one breath can one say, they appreciate Beyoncé and in the other breath
abhor the Hollyweird under belly of despicable and criminal behavior.People are losing jobs, being downgraded,
being ostracized and criminalized due to their reported, not proven,
inappropriate behavior while Beyoncé can flaunt herself and her female soldiers
in the manner she does and make millions of dollars!
Is it because she
donates to social causes? Does that give her a free ride?
BTW, I am not
impressed with donations.I am only
impressed if those donations are not marked as tax deductibles at the end of
the year.In fact, that simply means the
citizens are making the contributions because in some way, it will hit the
pockets of every other person who does pay taxes.
Is the community
saying that as long as she gives her money away, she can allow herself and her
female soldiers to be exploited in the manner in which they were in this last
show, and yes I did see it.
ZaZa
Ali Live: Beyonce at Coachella, Cardi B & the Impact of Celebrity Culture
I would like to take
a moment and give a shout out to ZaZa Ali.She painfully approached this subject, by consistently giving credit to
Beyoncé's performance being impeccable when it comes to the work she had to put
into it to pull it off.I think she did
a fine job of tiptoeing over the haters who will come at her saying that she
doesn't want another black woman to succeed in life.But what is the definition of success?And what is the cost of this success?
And yes, I am
harping on Beyoncé and yes I know that other female entertainers have done the
same thing, but like my mom used to say, just cause everybody is doing it does
not make it right.
I did a video on the
Cult of Celebrity.I also did a video
discussing the sexualization of our children.Along with various references that I made to pedophilia and child sacrifice.
Nowadays, we may not
be blatantly sacrificing our children by taking their lives in a bloody ritual,
but we are sacrificing them if we allow them to sing some of the Beyoncé lyrics
like "Suck my balls, Bitch!"
Is that what we want
our young children and young girls to say while they are at school or in the
play ground, in the gym or at a football game?To me, that was the straw that broke the camel's back, that hoisted me
into the Beyoncé phenomenon at risk of losing friends, family and even a few
foes.
Just take a look at
this meme and tell me, how can any parent find this to be okay?Your child is impersonating Beyoncé and while
doing so is causing disruption in the classroom and when they call the parent
in, the parent is like well………………. What is your problem?
Along with the
several "f" bombs in her lyrics why is she allowed to do this, and
why are people supporting her and keeping her "rich and famous"? What
is it about her mania that makes people blind to the fact that her shows are
destructive! I really don't care how much time and effort she puts into her
shows, how much practice and long hours, that same time and effort is put into
making nuclear weapons and bombs that are created to be dropped on innocent men
women and children.
To me, Beyoncé is
poison, and poison can be created in a moment or it can be done painstakingly,
but it will kill, and that is its purpose.I don't care about the symbolism that folks like to equate to Illuminati
or some occult references such as the eye of Horus (Heru) or 3 sixes, those
symbols have also been perverted and yet used by folks behind closed doors, the
very folks who tell the masses to shun them.It matters not to me that those images and symbols are used in music
videos.What matters to me is our
children and they are our future.If we
allow this exploitation of our children's mind, body and spirit, it matters not
that these so called Illuminati symbols are being used.The actual behavior of these artists is more
blatantly instrumental in their destructive effects than those symbols, believe
me.It's the music, the imagery, the
hypnotic trance that comes over the crowd, the acceptance of this low bar of
morality and the continued cognitive dissonance that is most troubling in my
opinion.
So we get this meme
about how she demonstrated her "black culture" unapologetically.Take a look at this meme.
When in actuality,
she never said that she was doing that at all.She just wanted to be "entertaining" and that was all.Where does it say that she is or ever has been
about "black culture"?And if
she presented that show as some have said, to show the mostly white audience
what "black culture" looks like, to me she gave that audience a
perverted version of it.
Are we to expect
black women to be engaged with rocking their sacred space?Are we still expecting black women to be bed
winches and is that the message that Beyoncé is giving to this predominately
white audience who saw her and her female soldier wag themselves so
suggestively it bordered on pornography?
Then other say, but
she came back, after having 3 children, blazing, strong and resilient. And my
response is so did our Ancestors working in the cotton fields!They did that with no money, no fame and a
whip on their backs carrying their babies all the while.Why does she get a pass for doing that?
And what really
broke my heart was to see Blue Ivy, sitting there in the audience, watching her
mother exploit herself in that manner.I
hoped that maybe the pyrotechnics distracted Blue, but she probably have seen some
of those rehearsals, so yeah….
I want a show of
hands of how many of you out there, listening to my rant, would love to see
your mother get herself in tip top shape and then get on stage and do what
Blue's mother did?Would you not be just
a tad bit embarrassed by that show of vulgar vagina humping by your
mother?What about your father?Would he sit there in the audience with the
whole family and applaud?
I remember the other
meme and viral story about the "Smith's who were at a show where Miley
Cyrus was acting completely out of line, and the shock on their face was quite
telling. Why and how did Beyoncé get a pass?
So they say, she was
showing off her culture.So that is what
black culture looks like?That is what
African culture looks like, that is what spiritual culture looks like?
Excuse me, but I am
missing something here.
But, after all of
these flash points came, the YouTube tarot reader saying, Beyoncé has Oshun
with her, and that she is very spiritual and I was like, wait a second………
Now they are adding
to the mix a perverted version of Oshun?The goddess of love?From Nigeria
west Africa?And so that gives her a
stamp of approval?
So we go from Black
panther at halftime, Oshun at the Grammy's and now Nefertiti at Coachella, and
folks are drinking and slurping and praising her exploitation of all three, not
reading the lyrics, not paying attention to the hypnosis, and certainly not
belying the truth of any of these representations.
Yet in the same
breath say she is daring to show the world African culture, black culture and
the black experience in America.The
dangerous normalization of these stereotypes will replicate and imbed
"unconscious bias" towards blacks.
I am appalled that
they would even bring Oshun into it, without knowing what she represents.
She is a sacred
Goddess, the Goddess of love, and to equate what Beyoncé is doing and has done
in her performances with Oshun to me is an outrage.Forgive me, but to me she is presenting a
perverted version of Oshun. Understanding the many roads of Oshun, you must
first understand the tradition and just because she looked like Oshun does not
mean she is representing her, to me she looked more like the statue of liberty,
but that's just me.However, the road of
Oshun that she is presenting on stage with the blatant sexuality and
sexualization is the road of Oshun that people who know about this goddess tend
to avoid or tend to keep under raps, rather than blasting it on the big screen.
Besides, even if she
was trying to represent Oshun or Erzuile Freda, could she stand before the
Goddess and look them in the eye after she had exploited their legend and
misrepresented them in front of the entire world?And how does being connected to either of
these goddesses forgive the exploitation of her femininity in that way.And by the way, why aren't the so called
feminist coming out against this sordid display of femininity.Are we of the mind that femininity in the
feminist movement and exploitation of the female body are one in the same?She should be able to do whatever she chooses
with her body in a public arena because she has a body to do that with?
Then let me say
this, what if it was a 300 pound woman scantily clad on stage doing the same
thing?
Of course that would
never happen in this culture, a 300 pound woman does not fit the profile.So what are we saying here?Are we saying that only certain women, with a
certain physique and status should be allowed to flaunt their stuff on stage,
while the other more comely and not so attractive women should dress
modestly?
And if you do fit
the profile and you dress and act like that, it's your fault if you appeal to
the "lower" nature of men?Zaza Ali mentioned this point as well in her video.She also mentioned how she cautioned her son
to be very circumspect about being around such young ladies who may lure him
into a trap.Another women on Dr. Boyce
Watkins' channel said she had to have a talk with her husband, about having
private lunches with women in order to steer clear of any allegations of in
appropriate behavior.
Additionally, the so
called "Me Too" movement should have been outside protesting.Women are being denied jobs as a result of
this movement for fear the establishment or members of it will be drawn out in some
high profile allegations of sexual misconduct.And yet, we have this and all the praise that goes with it.How do we have it both ways?
Are we saying that
it's okay for the rich and famous to do certain things that your regular Joe or
Jane cannot do?Why do we continually
give them a pass to do whatever they wish and then throw down the gavel and sentence
the average person to a life of scorn and skepticism?By giving them a pass, aren't we enabling
them to continue to exploit us?We buy
their records, watch their movies and share their tabloids.Aren't we saying that it's okay for them to
do it when we support them?Where is
critical thinking, what happened to it, and will it ever return?
I have personally
always had a problem with double standards.And I must give my mom credit for that to, cause she used to always say,
"Do as I say, not as I do." And that would enrage me.Because by the same token she would say,
what's good for thegoose is good for
the gander,Now I didn't know what
gander was as a young child, but I surely knew what the saying meant.So what are feminist saying about this, how
are they weighing in on this?Where is
their moral compass or their compass of equality I should say. Where is it and
why is it okay for Beyoncé and yet, the old lady down the road better keep her
butt in the house,
wearing those daisy dukes like she's 20 years old.
In traditional
African culture there is what is called "rites of passage" for boys
and for girls.During these right young
boys and girls learn about what it means to be a man and woman in the
community. They are given specific customs, dances and implements to help them
to move up into the position of man and woman in the society.Many of these dances would be perceived as
suggestive to the European onlooker.In
fact, part of the process of colonization of the African was to demonize their
sexual expression and draw them away from their customs.Ever since, Africans have been presented has
overly sexed to the point of being a fetish for European men and women.They expect the black woman to have a high
libido and the black man, along with a high libido, to have a long schlong.How can the show that Beyoncé had at
Coachella, change that image?
After the Grammy's
ofArticle written by CC Saunders
entitled "Beyoncé- A Win for
White Supremacy" was featured inKushite Prince article date
February 16, 2017.
I wish to present to
you a few quotes from that article.
The praise following Beyoncé's long overdue “consciousness”
demonstrates that the bar for black allies is impossibly low. Beyoncé as a
black activist demonstrates that one or two acts fulfill the
necessary requirements to deem someone a black leader. The black collective
witnessed this behavior with former President Obama who would often
place a single stream of consciousness in his speeches, a consciousness
that he would counter with the following sentence. Yet, the allegiance he had
for five seconds, overshadowed lesser deeds carried out in the majority of his
actions and behaviors. Beyoncé's praise functions in a similar manner, as her
seemingly “overnight” enlightenment supersedes past behavior that aimed to
present Beyoncé, the black woman as a crossover artist.
Beyoncé, a black woman who gained fame and international
stardom for her fair skin, blonde weave, and jezebel-like performances,
personifies the height of white male imagination. She embodies what many black
women wish they were, conventionally beautiful with full features, fair skin, a
curvy yet slim body, an accent that is slight enough to suggest a humble
sweetness but a work persona that screams boss. She’s a wife, a mother,
businesswoman and all-around superwoman. But she is a fantasy.
Beyoncé exists as a means to control the black female
demographic. For example, I can not help but notice that weaves became a more
versatile and a more prominent tool in black female hair styling as Beyoncé's
popularity grew. The desire for long, full, hair personifies what I like to
call the “Beyoncé effect,” an effect mirrored in every popular black female
image from reality stars to singers. Beyoncé's power manifests in her ability
to generate styles and standards of beauty, and in her losses and wins.
I feel compelled to mention that I reference Beyoncé as a
brand and not an individual, as the chief component of Beyoncé's popularity is
that she encompasses a larger than life figure– a human canvass of desirability
curated by white male imagination. Beyoncé becomes a figure of influence due to
a black female collective that largely exists vicariously through their
blonde-haired heroine.
Beyoncé personifies what many black
females think black female perfection is. As a physical manifestation
of black female thought, Beyoncé acts as a pawn to dictate what we do.
Carter B. Woodson conveyed the following excerpt from The Miseducation of
the Negro:
"If you can control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry
about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to
concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is
inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he
will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you
do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and
if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one."
Thus, Beyoncé is not an activist or conscious member of the
black collective. Beyoncé is the literal and figurative back door of which the
black female collective enters into a white male gaze. She is a prevalent form
of contemporary inferiority veiled as black excellence. Furthermore, Beyoncé
functions as an on-going win for white supremacy, functioning as a string that
puppeteers the black female psyche by veiling the poisons of white supremacy
with pseudo black femininity.
And finally, let me
just add, that while women seem to be the brunt of all types of descrimination
and exploitation, every single solitary human has come through the loins of a
female, boys and girls are birth through her sacred orafice and to have that orafice
defiled in the manner in which it has become customary in Western culture says
a lot about the respect that it has for the Feminine Energy, and explains how
this culture and defile the planet upon which we all must depend.

Live Coachella Performance HD | 2nd Week | Coachella 2018
Atlanta, GA — It is very true. “The National Church of Bey“, an organization that recently formed the new religion
called Beyism (based on pop star Beyoncé Knowles), based in
Atlanta, Georgia. Although Beyoncé herself is not believed to be a part of it,
she is the foundation of it and has so far not made a statement denouncing
it.
On April 12, 2018, 2 African American men were arrested at the Philly Starbucks, and of course since then there has
been a flurry of news reports on this incident.
What's most
interesting is the comment section below these articles.For sure some folks feel that you should not
sit in a restaurant if you are not going to purchase something. And you
especially should not use the bathroom if you have not made a purchase.Now, I am aware that there are some stores
that have a sign that says, "Bathroom for Patrons Only". However,
this policy while it may be in effect in some places is not readily apparent in
most stores.
I have traveled
many, many times on the road, and have simply pulled over, go into the store
and get the bathroom key.Never was I
made to feel I had to make a purchase.It sort of comes with the territory.
Not to mention that
typically, stores that sell food have to have a bathroom that can be used by
patrons, but there certainly are occasions where someone sitting in the
establishment, may not purchase anything at all, particularly if they have a
certain diet, or are simply not hungry or even may not have the money to
purchase anything at all.There are so
many different circumstances that can be sited here.
One thing that is
certain, Starbucks is known for being a meeting place.Sometimes folks just go in there to use the
wifi, on the real, sometimes Starbucks is a bit pricey.
I once read a meme
that says, "Tired of me pulling the race card, stop giving me reason to
use it."
In this video I will
site excerpts from several news article.A list of these article will be in the link in the description below.
