A 'racist' sign in a shop of black men picking tobacco has sparked outrage, with football legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink leading calls for it to be removed
Mr Hasselbaink said in a separate post that "the image continues to cause hurt to people in our local community, and now further afield."
Misan Harriman, also known for photographing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, came across the sign this week.Sharing a video on Twitter, Mr Harriman said: "There is a MASSIVE picture that is pride of place at the point of payment. It is an image of black men, broken black men at a tobacco plantation with their overseers next to them?!?! I kid you not!
"This is in a family store, this imagery is massive triggering and racist. And there is no conceivable reason it should be there! I’m so thankful I wasn’t with my girls."How on earth could anyone have shopped there and found that image acceptable.Others said they have been asking shop bosses to take down the sign for some time.
Replying to Mr Hasselbaink's post, one woman said: "I have also spoken to them and none of us will go into the shop because of it. The image is completely unacceptable and we must keep pushing them to take it down.Farrants, which has been trading since 1896, declined to comment when asked by LBC why they chose to display the picture.
