Do you think calling a black person "Chocolate" is offensive?
I was randomly looking up some things about a clothing designer and oddly enough, I found an article where Naomi Campbell got upset or something over a magazine advertising chocolate with the headline saying, "Move Over, Naomi!"
I can understand calling someone an Oreo being offensive, but things like chocolate or mocha... what do you think?
As a black girl, I don't really see where the negativity lies in a compliment like that. Chocolate has a beautiful rich colour and it's soft and smooth so it just translates to me that someone has clear, healthy skin or something, I don't know. Way better than being called an n***** b**** or something...

What, you think it's supposed to make sense or something?

I've called a black person chocolate before. They didn't seem offended, but then they were people who knew me well

Yes, I would see that as offensive. Like using salt and pepper. It would be like using an offensive term.
Source(s): If you know the person and they say it is ok, then that is different. - Anonymous8 years ago
no I love anyone who loves my hot chocolate
