Common Assists Starbucks With Anti-Racial Bias Training The rapper is featured in an anti-bias training video that will be shown to some 175,000 employees across 8,000 store locations on May 29. A preview video for the four-hour training states that Common will act as one of the guides to “help folks start exploring their own identities.” The training will also present a film by documentarian Stanley Nelson called ‘You’re Welcome,’ which explores ideas behind bias and how it affects people. Last month, Starbucks announced it would close stores to conduct anti-bias training after two black men were arrested at a Philadelphia location. Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson were non-paying customers, who were waiting inside the store for a business partner when the cops were called. The company has reached a $1 settlement with the men and changed its policies to allow non-paying customers to use its bathrooms and occupy the stores.

Starbucks to Open Bathrooms to Public After Racial Controversy Starbucks confirmed on Thursday that it has overhauled its bathroom policy after the incident last month involving the arrests of two black men in a Philadelphia store. On Apr. 12, a Starbucks manager called the police on two black men for waiting inside of the store for a business meeting after being denied use of the bathroom. Since the incident made national headlines, the company has worked to make amends. “We don’t want to become a public bathroom, but we’re going to make the right decision a hundred percent of the time and give people the key…” – Chairman Howard Schultz, via New York Daily News Starbucks also plans to close some 8,200 stores in the U.S. on May 29 for racial bias training.

The coffee chain announced anyone who walks into a store can use the bathrooms, even if they didn’t make a purchase. This is “the absolute right thing” to do, says communication and reputation strategist Deirdre Latour. Starbucks came under fire last month after arresting two black men accused of “loitering” at one of its stores.

Two black men arrested at a Starbucks in Philadelphia have settled with the coffee chain.
They also dropped legal claims against the city following the settlement.
The city of Philadelphia agreed to pay each man $1, but must commit $200,000 to fund an entrepreneurship program for public school students.
The arrest of Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson on April 12th led to national protests and calls for a boycott of the popular coffee shop.

Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson have come to an agreement with Starbucks.
They were the two men that were arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks in April, without being charged for any crime.
A Starbucks employee called the police to have the men arrested after they asked to use the bathroom and refused to buy anything.
The 23-year olds were waiting for a colleague to have a business meeting.
Nelson and Robinson have settled with Starbucks for an undisclosed amount.

Starbucks has reached agreements with two African-American men whose arrest at a Philadelphia Starbucks sparked protests over racial bias. Starbucks has also pledged to support a $200,000 effort to encourage young entrepreneurs. The details of the financial agreement that Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson reached this week with Starbucks are confidential. Robinson and Nelson will provide input to former US Attorney Eric Holder, who is working with Starbucks on its diversity efforts.
