@JOFNEAL It’s good to have different types of friends. Just because I’m gay, all my friends don’t need to just be gay. This is a small minded and silly post.
@kieronFish I don’t see the issue. News reporters do the exact same as it’s their job. That guy actually brought us details I had never heard before. It’s journalism. Why criticise him but not the itv news reporter who was there?
@myles_morris @mindofprospect I get what you're saying but in their announcement post they were standing next to their Asian business partner - which made it clear they were in partnership with him. Who knows maybe their plan is for that 2% to increase to 50 as time goes on - we don't know their business plan
@myles_morris @mindofprospect Looking at the articles, they marketed the store as “inclusive… to meet the needs to Black, Asian and ethnic people.” We can’t jump to conclusions based off what a reporter paraphrased unless there is a direct quote from them. 2% is better than 0%
@lovefromkilla I agree but I think some people’s argument was the store is being “marketed at black owned” - I’m still trying to figure out where anyone said outright that it’s a black owned store
@myles_morris @mindofprospect I’m also trying to find out where they outright said it was a black owned business. The news reporter said that in a voiceover after they filmed - but we can’t assume K&K told him to say that. There was use of the word “community” but that can be interpreted in several ways
@petepedwards@MusicConnoisseu They took a picture with the other Asian founder, which explains they are working with him. The two ppl in question are celebrities so of course they will be fronting the launch campaign - & they said they plan to make more job opps for the community which is defo doable.
@petepedwards@MusicConnoisseu They didn’t need to. Whether it’s 1% or 1.5% - they are still part of ownership. It is their win, which they are entitled to announce and celebrate. They know the full story/plan - not us. People who are making things happen for themselves don’t get phased over stuff like this
