I don't see problem with the picture and what people are complaining about now.
Richard Branson with some random people?

Anyways, I am having fun. I don't see anything wrong with picture unless he has labelled it with "Look at all my black staff" or some such tosh.

Any excuse to go on a virtue signalling tirade and make sure the whole world sees you doing it. Social media is either turning people into poisonous narcissists or it's simply bringing into full view what was already there to start with.

No blacks in the picture so Black twitter ripped into him and he apologized...

Ahhh the joys of our polarised Twitter-verse....

One side doesn't really care or see the issue (and rightly so) and the other side is looking for something to be upset about so they can Tweet...

This is what happens when you don't see the world by race and have it on your brain 24/7... you get attacked by racists crying racist

Everything you do in todays world you have to think race first, or be labelled racist... basically, making everyone racists

"Neo colonial murderous dirty hands"

This c*nt sounds like someone who's perpetually one black gang rape away from having the perfect day.
Pure unadulterated white hatred where the cherry on top is an actual apology from the receiving end.
You cannot make this stuff up.

Oh, and Branson, you're officially a poephol now. Should have just kept your mouth shut at the very least.

That photo is distinctly missing people of Chinese Asian decent, people from Indian and Pakistani decent, people from the Chukchi tribe, (The Chukchi people are an indigenous people inhabiting the Chukchi Peninsula and the shores of the Chukchi Sea within the Russian Federation. They live in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, where they largely maintain their traditional way of life. ), and possibly some Afican people of various tribes in Southern Africa.

And of course, the only ones who found it in their hearts to complain were ..........

Seems we've come to the point where merely showing a picture of a group of white people is "racist". Take a step back, and think about that objectively. It is now considered unacceptable to even display a picture of a group of white South Africans with a prominent person.

However, we see pictures of solely black people in groups with prominent people all the time, and that's clearly not an issue. So why the double standard?

One can only conclude that anti-white prejudice and hatred is now so ingrained into mainstream media and culture that merely the depiction of too many white people, too prominently, is unacceptable.
