Say a friend of yours gets a job in the US, would you recommend him to move or not? Why?

How were they disrupting the business? The Starbucks manager was disrupting the business - calling the cops is far more disruptive than letting two guys sit and wait. Lots of whites took a look at the Starbucks incident too and they said they have never been forced to pay first before using the toilet (in fact some prefer to use the toilet before ordering just in case it takes longer than expected for them to get their drink). And many have hung out in Starbucks for ages without being asked to leave or the cops being called to kick them out.
Heck meeting people at Starbucks was their fucking selling point at one time: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/new-starbucks-campaign-touts-role-as-global-hangout/ [seattletimes.com]

It wasn't "Meet me at Starbucks unless you're black".
Even in my semi-civilized third world country I've waited for people at Starbucks without buying anything and the cops weren't called on me. And I've waited longer than the two or so minutes the Starbucks manager took to call the cops: http://www.complex.com/life/2018/04/police-arrested-black-men-in-starbucks-called-2-minutes-after-men-entered [complex.com]
Furthermore those two guys were also held for about EIGHT HOURS at the station. Why so long?
So why should those black guys be forced to have worse choices when the whites aren't?
e.g.
a) Buy stuff
or
b) Leave
or
c) Get arrested by the cops and held for 8 hours.
If the whites wouldn't accept this why should the blacks accept it?
Yes more blacks should reject the terrible gangsta culture that too many of them glorify and love (many do reject it), but the fault far from entirely lies with the blacks. Apologists like you take far more of the blame. You help the worse racists justify their racism.
Lastly, it's no surprise the blacks get so used to pulling the race card and thinking people are being racist when so many US cops and people are actually racist. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/employees-fired-nj-gym-racial-profiling-report-article-1.3942390 [nydailynews.com]
