It’s Because I’m Black Isn’t It? Celebrities Who’ve Abused the Race Card

- By

Naomi Campbell

Pulling the race card is one of Naomi’s favorite things to do.

Back in 2002, journalist Sue Carroll called Naomi Campbell a “chocolate soldier.” That’s a term that means (since 1894) a soldier who looks good in uniform but won’t fight for the cause, but Naomi took it otherwise. Incidentally, that phrase was right on the money in an article about Naomi Campbell campaigning for PETA but wearing mink in a Milan fashion show.

In 2008, Naomi pulled the race card again when explaining why she beat up two police officers on British Airways. She says they (both?) called her a “golliwog supermodel” but no one supported her story. Plus that was like Naomi’s tenth public beat down so people were starting to think the problem might be her.
