CADBURY

Is Naomi Campbell 'chocolate' ad really racist?

Naomi Campbell is reportedly planning to take Cadbury to court for their chocolate commercial that compared the ramp diva to chocolate. She reacted fiercely to the commercial saying that, It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. It is insulting and hurtful. The ad features a picture of Cadbury's new chocolate bar, Bliss, underneath the caption, Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town.
