Dopey Leftist Idea Fails Fast

Liberal racists lost a humbling round last week in their unending campaign to portray America as a racist country.

Race-baiting leftist Howie (I Can Be Tasteless) Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, fell onto his proboscis over the weekend, bruising only his massive, ironclad ego.

Perhaps the arrogant Schultzie pictured himself as Martin Luther Queen, white adjunct to Dr. King.

Howie’s hamhanded attempt to stir animosity, war if necessary, among the races foundered and disintegrated because of the sheer embarrassment and common sense of Starbucks’s young servers.

At 12,000 locations, servers were ordered to write the nonsensical “Race Together” phrase on all coffee cups in an attempt to cajole innocent customers into a howl about race.

The sneaky, ignorant, invasive experiment blew up when servers balked.

Schultzie had only one choice left – lie and say the scheme all along had been scheduled to last several days.

Yeah, sure, Howie.

That must be why you rolled out heavyweight public relations machinery last week.

That must be why you teamed in a giant co-promotion with left-wing USA Today, which can be just as fruity as Shaky Schultzie.

Minimum-wage Starbucks servers were encouraged to hammer vulnerable customers with nasty questions such as “Hey, bub, when did you become aware of your race?” And here is a fill-in-the-blanker, “In the past year, I have visited the home of someone of a different race____ times.”

Both queer queries were believed to have been thought up by a left-wing three-year-old.

The retreat of red-raced Schultzie, mouthing the words “I surrender, I surrender,” was so sudden USA Today didn’t report the story today because they did not know their partner was a surrender specialist or they would have called in Gen. Custer.
