Rasaq Malik Gbolahan said:
"This doesn't work at all. It reminds me of slavery. Of black people tethered to poles. The neck, over the years, has been a portal of brutal death. We shouldn't contribute more to glorifying the haunted past."
Anogwi Anyanwu commented:
"Probably a "protest" fashion against the hanging of Africans in times past."
Jawad Iginla wrote:
"There is nothing fashionable about demonstrating one’s lack of historical knowledge. This is an insult to history and to our enslaved ancestors in the diaspora."
Chinweike Odo said:
"Ara Fashion. Anyone putting on this shouldn't go & be involved in fight because it is Suicidal."
Chuka Diqa Ufondu commented:
"This feels like a symbol slave trade."
