Seriously @Starbucks? At the counter – Loin cloth and Safari hat on a black child. Happy New Year circa 19th century pic.twitter.com/kD3qgKmti1

I don’t really think it was meant to imply that the child was black.I think it was just a statue of a child.I don’t see how it would’ve looked right in any other color.Just my opinion,I’m usually the first to point out that something is racial.I don’t see that here.
