        This is crazy & overboard. This is exactly why brands like H&M have such disparaging marketing material. Isn't this animalistic in behavior? Shame over the idiots that did this, they are the real MONKEYS.

        There was online protest all over the world. People condemned the advert. H&M apologized, took the hoodie off market & promised it will be recycled. That's ok. SA love anarchy. They will kill innocent immigrants, burn their properties for no reason. They are very useless.

        Did your people not kill these immigrants ? Just answer YES or NO? How many times have we recorded such occurrence in past 4 years? Give a number. If your country doesn't want immigrants, send them back using policies and laws. BUT your folks use what? Give me 1 word answer.

        Embarrassing how? How is racism of any form acceptable? What did you expect the reaction to be in AFRICA?

        Y’all motherfuckers don’t get it. The time for talking is over.. who did @hm ‘talk’ to before publicizing their ads? we fight fire with fire here.. because this is clearly the only language that is heard and recognized... so come, let’s have a ‘peaceful talk’..

        was this necessary? If H&M closes shops jobs will be lost. Why not protests in peaceful or boycott from buying.

        They should now take facial images of the perps and put them on a sweater that says “These are the uncool monkeys in the jungle” with the word Literally on the back! @hm what ya think?
