It doesn't really mean anything. I'm a black too, blacks normally have this myopic view to some stuffs. The people that did it might not even have anything in mind but trust Africans- We'll start seeing it from a different dimension.
I see noting wrong with this please. Why is it that blacks are the most complained people in the world small thing the will complain na wah oh. Blacks are racist.
The are just wailing wailers too, but they didn't notice she has love written on her dress which is better than anymore writing on the other shirts, fools.
I feel there is racism attached to it. You gat three white and a black, why not 2 blacks and 2 white and the only black they had was used as an armrest. Those other 3 white were allowed to express themselves while the black is not.. Meaning white are above black which is not right.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this picture. Most of us are always to quick to say racism even when it's not necessary. Let people chill please......
Ppl will always talk sha. 1. If the black girl was upside down they'd say Why is she upside down? Are they trying to say the black race is upside down? 2. If she was the one resting her arm on another girl they'd say Are they trying to tell the world that the black race will always need the white race to support them? 3. If she was the one doing the acrobatic stunt they'd say Why is she spreading her legs wide open for the rest of the world to come and "do". Are they trying to say black girls are prostitutes?
Ppl with motive will always have something to say sha, raising dust out of nothing
Black people in America and Europe are so paranoid. I get why they feel that way cos they experience racism 1st hand and always but that's not the reason why every other little meaningless act by the whites should be seen as done negatively against blacks. This is becoming an inferiority complex issue. Let's slow down pls
Seriously the photographer could not comeup with a better pose for those girls? I thinks it's just a bad jo,fault of the photographer and the shot director sef
There's nothing much with this picture. People pay way too much attention to things that are totally unnecessary... How will this put money in the bank of the critics.
Why do we blacks always have to make an issue out of nothing...meanwhile sheos lucky to be one of those standing. One other girl is forced to stand on one foot ans the other on two hands.
Plus the smelly oyibo armpit wey them no dey wash ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww....@@@@BiaBia 🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊
I bet if she had posed like the lil girl beside her (on the left) , same 'black' people would still say she was made to pose like a monkey. I tire for these people
When I saw d caption, first thing I saw wrong was d arm rest on the girl, I dint even notice she was black until I read it, so I guess its kind of wrong as a human, dont know if it was done on purpose to a black, just know its a Stupid pose
They will still complain if the black girl was the one turned upside-down... we need to really get over this victim mentality and simply appreciate art.
the first kid with the upside down position seem to have her head facing back 100%...the legs n buttocks are facing the camera so the head is supposed to be facing the other side ...
There's really no big deal in this,but black treatment by white overseas would make you question why one black girl out of 4 kids and she's now the armrest again? Whoever directed the advert was not brilliant with this piece (knowing fully well GAP is surrounded by both races).
Why is she an armrest though as opposed to her hand around her shoulder. If you've ever had someone lay their hand on your head in that same manner, it's not comfortable... nothing to like or appreciate about it. So, I can't help but wonder what made them decide on that pose. I would have asked the question even if the armrest was a white child but it's even more stark that the child in question is a black child. This side of the world everything is about race even when it's not.
If you study the history of slavery and racism in America, you will actually see why black Americans are very hyper sensitive about stuff like this because even till date, after the civil-rights movement with ML King, there is still racism in broad daylight, black people are never given a voice and when they are, they are portrayed as all sorts of things from ratchet to ghetto, to violent (everything except actual people with dignity). We as indigenous Africans, we don't see their struggles because we haven't had to put up with this much institutionalized racism, but let us try and empathize with them sometimes. For me, I see why they would find it offensive.
Linda if you don't see anything wrong with this picture then you will need a plate of *pepper soup* from me... nani ose ! Everything is wrong with putting hand on someone's head
Ana ekwugheri. If it were to be the black who was made to turn upside down, they would say it's cos they don't want her to stand equal with the rest. People should learn to focus on more important things biko.
Some is definitely wrong with considering the demeaning and dehumanizing of Black People world wide hence, those casting the advert should have been cautious of the reactions that the product will generate and do their advert devoid of anything that will bring any Black Person involved to ridicule the Black Race or further exacerbate the tension created by the ongoing Race War.
