"It doesn't matter what collages are put up the fact and the depth of slavery and being a slave is deeply embedded within most Black Americans. Do the spiritual work needed to free the mind and spirit of the grandchildren of ex-slaves and the lives of Black people would ascend." - Gregory E. Woods (May 19, 2015)

"There is nothing similar about these except the superficial aesthetic look of these pictures. Slaves were property, imprisoned, mentally tortured, bought and sold as livestock. College football prospects are there by choice, willingly evaluated, held in high regard, treated with respect and most importantly are not there because they are black. College recruits are black, white, Hispanic, Asian and so on. The comparisons are superficial. I feel the pictures inaccurately and disrespectfully portray an aspect of slavery that was often the point of families being split up and previously free people becoming property. Why do you feel they are similar exactly?" - Victor Martin (May 13, 2014)
