The most worrying thing about this whole clip, is that someone chose to call their child Armani. |  | | |

I don't want to cast assumptions, but at 35seconds it looks like a very different kind of deal is being finalised |  |

Missed a trick, tho. For an announcement in the pouring rain, they really ought to have used "Things Can Only Get Better". |  |

I thought the signing was in the mascot outfit and was about to do a surprise reveal. Would have been less tinpot tbf |  |

It seems to me that the comment attached to the Tweet plays into a racist trope.
Why would people drug deal in what looks to me like Gillingham High Street with lots of people looking on?
Would a similar assumption or comment have been made if they were white?
Is it clear from the video that money (let alone drugs) is changing hands?
Even if money is changing hands, there are all sorts of possible innocent reasons.
Finally, a comment like this reflects the point that I think Diane Abbott was trying to make, albeit she expressed it in totally the wrong way. [Post edited 5 Jun 2024 10:03]

To be perfectly honest if it was a couple of white fellas looking down and seemingly counting something out in close proximity of one another my mind would think drug deal all the same.
This is, however, because I look for parody and humour in everything tied to things like this, even if it does require filling in the gap.
Not a single part of my though "That looks like a drug deal because they're black" | |

That's fair enough but my comment was aimed at the Orient supporter who made the original comment, about whom I know nothing.
And interesting to note that the Tweet appears to have had 47,000 retweets, with each person viewing it assuming (probably unquestionally) that two black man are drug dealers.
I might add that even though it is derided as woke, unconscious bias training is maybe not such a bad idea. [Post edited 4 Jun 2024 15:56]

Me neither. The interaction looked like a drug deal being done surruptitously, the race of the participants didn't come into it. | | | |

Same for me, and I've seen people openly dealing around Nottingham. They don't bother hiding it. |  |

I am in no way suggesting that you, Phil, have a racist bone in you.
But I still think we all have to be careful when it comes to racial stereotyping, and I am sure that many viewing it (and maybe the originator) are not like you. [Post edited 4 Jun 2024 15:51]

Question is, what drugs are they dealing? |  |

You're creating something out of nothing.
It could have been anyone and it would have looked the same. |  |
