Two black men who were arrested at a Starbucks cafe by Philadelphia police last month have reached a financial settlement with the city.
Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson will each receive a symbolic $1 and a promise from officials to set up a programme for young entrepreneurs.
The arrest of the men, who had not yet ordered and were waiting for a friend, kicked off a row over racial profiling.
Starbucks announced days later it would require employee anti-bias training.

This was a Total set up for $$$$
Sure, they settled for $1. Looks good until you realize just how much those university scholarships are going to cost.
They settled for a dollar from the city, they received several million from starbucks, and a offer for a free college education to shut up.
That;s right 11:50 they knew as soon as they woke up they'd go to a Starbucks, be put in cuffs for 'sitting while black' and that allllll this would happen. Keep playing scratch offs with your bud light tabs.
The new blackmail.
Extortion - the new generation of Jesse & Al.
Whites need to start doing the same at black businesses ?
So where are the other black customers that were sitting in Starbucks at that time? The ones who were welcomed, served, and not bothered? They were there .. and now quiet...
Doesn’t work the same way.
White people are usually raised to avoid imposing on others, and taught to leave when the cop tells them to leave.
