her mom aint happy either!

All of this over Cadbury Chocolates.

quote:

Campbell told the U.K. newspaper the Independent, "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 humor in this. It is insulting and hurtful."



quote:

Valerie Morris told the Independent, "I'm deeply upset by this racist advert. Do these people think they can insult black people and we just take it? This is the 21st century, not the 1950s. Shame on Cadbury."



Really? Racist? I can see being mad that they used her name without her permission, but I do not get the racist part of this.

I don't think that the intent was racist. They were talking about her being a diva. But I'm not black, so can't determine what constitutes racism toward black people. I do know that the black people I know talk about themselves being chocolate a whole lot. So I don't really get this.
