Hardly getting over it.
Yep.Whatever their 'aim' is it's belittling and patronising.
It's like they've given no thought to what Rastafari is, or what locks mean to Rastas. You can bet the food isn't ital, either.

Would you mind if I quote you on a new thread?I see that the pastiche Caribbean theme restaurant chain Turtle Bay, due to open a branch in Brixton, has embarked on (and then hastily withdrawn) a marketing campaign called #rastafyme which encourages white customers to have their picture taken while enjoying their meal, which is then filtered to make them look black with comedy dreadlocks added.
Fucks sake.
The whole set up is bizarre...Yep.

Beautiful.I also went to the Brixton Come Together festival. Its was just right. Not to big and a great friendly atmosphere. Looked great as well. A few of my photos.
Fucking embarrassing.
I picked up a copy - a rare thing as that right wing rag normally winds me up - but I remain hopeful that it will sympathetically detail the real difficulties faced by families on that estate rather than be another of their poor bashing episodes.
They might have a closing party at some point later. I've been asked to DJ but it would be a strange and sad kind of party. I hate what's happening to my town.A&C is closing on Saturday. I popped in today to stock up on pasta and felt quite choked up by the empty shelves. I bloody love that shop.

You may have some time to do this - looks like it could be 2 or 3 days more if not the whole week.I picked up a copy - a rare thing as that right wing rag normally winds me up - but I remain hopeful that it will sympathetically detail the real difficulties faced by families on that estate rather than be another of their poor bashing episodes.
I will report back later!
I love the smell in A&C.A&C is closing on Saturday. I popped in today to stock up on pasta and felt quite choked up by the empty shelves. I bloody love that shop.
Is fictionThe bit about having a camera swivelling to watch you every time you leave the front door.
Is fiction
Fucking embarrassing.
I've got another dodgy story about them that I'd been giving them the benefit of the doubt on. I think I'll run it now.
I mean really how dumb can people be? don't answer that...oh dear
Oh, they can be even dumber. How about using Olive Morris imagery to promote the restaurant's launch? That can't be offensive can it?I mean really how dumb can people be? don't answer that...
And the PR company are saying that the restaurant themselves manage their social media. Sound like a clusterfuck.Turtle Bay have responded and are blaming an 'extrernal person' for the whole rastafyme campaign.....
Caribbean restaurant slammed for ‘racist’ #Rastafyme campaign
