The advertisement reads, "Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town," with an image of the candy posed on a mound of diamonds. Campbell 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." Her mother, Valerie Morris, explained, "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."
Not having seen the ad, just reading the thread. I'm curious as whether her pic & or last name were used in the ad. Cause if not, maybe she's not the only Naomi in the world, and it really doesn't revolve around her as she seems to think. Haven't seen her in the public eye too much lately, so here's one way for her to get back in the media.
