Kevin Hart Disagrees With Boycotting Starbucks

Kevin Hart

When Starbucks had two Black men arrested for sitting inside one of their Philadelphia stores, the nation got mad. Many have come out condemning the action by Starbucks and police for arresting the young men waiting to meet a friend.

This incident has also grabbed the attention of celebrities and journalists everywhere, with the likes of Questlove, Joy Reid and Kevin Hart according to Eater.

However, comedian Kevin Hart believes the boycott of Starbucks is unnecessary. He tweeted, “Let’s make one thing very clear….This is not a boycott @Starbucks situation….This is horrible management. The manager on duty was wrong. It’s that simple…That’s who needs to take responsibility for this wrong doing.”

Now he’s not disagreeing that the arrest and treatment was wrong but, many people were not happy with his reason to not boycott Starbucks.

As the comments piled on, Hart jumped back into the conversation adding what he’d do to deal with situation being a CEO himself.

Whatever the view, what Starbucks allowed was not okay. The hope now is that this incidents and more like it become a catalyst for some serious change.
