So are Cadbury being racist?

 

According to The Independent, the 41-year-old is considering "every option available" following the release of the Bliss bar ad, which features the tagline: "Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town."

 

Campbell is reportedly furious over the campaign, believing that Cadbury used her name to play on racial connotations.

In a statement, Naomi said: "I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. "I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful."

 

Basically, she is claiming that they are implying that she is 'chocolate,' although they claim that it's more about the 'diva' thing.

 

Funnily enough though, they have pulled the advert now.  Is this because they feel guilty?  Or because it's just easier than having to battle with the PC brigade and whingey diva Campbell? Let's face it, she pulls out the race card more than most!

 

Opinions?

I live next door to two women who could be personality triplets with Naomi Campbell.

The reason Naomi gets the flack she gets is because she is an awful human being, nowt to do with skin colour at all.

She'd still be a divaesque bitch of the first order if she was white - but then she wouldn't be able to host the poor me 'Is it because I is black' pity party

Which is in itself a bit strange, considering she's from Streatham
