Latte Makes You Look Safe

STARBUCKS

A bald man in a scarf holds up a Starbucks latte and passes it among several Black men inside a Starbucks or café while joking that carrying a latte makes them look safe to police. The punchline satirizes racial profiling by contrasting the men’s appearance with the supposedly harmless image of a coffee drink; the clip ends with the speaker grinning and presenting the cup to the camera.

Listen, Starbucks is, every brother should have a couple Starbucks in their hand. Because the police leave you alone, you have a latte. You hold it brother, hold that. Look how safe he looks. Give it to the other brother. Look how safe he looks. Look at that, give it to the other brother. Look, he looks like a thug but with that fucking latte, look how safe he looks. So brothers, black men out there, get yourself a latte. Because when you do your lips like this, the cops leave you to fuck alone. I'm sorry, officer, was I aggressive?
