Someone Had The Balls To Call Naomi A Golliwog To Her Face?

British Airways has developed quite a nasty reputation as a result of several racially charged incidents. Naomi Campbell either knew about this reputation and chose to exploit it to make her airport temper tantrum seem less ridiculous or a BA employee on the plane really did call her a "Golliwog Supermodel", which doesn't actually explain why she then spit on some airport cops. Maybe she'll spend some time thinking that over during her court-ordered community service. But probably not.

Ok, how many of you had any idea what a "golliwog" was? I thought it was just charming British nonsense and had to go look it up. It sounds so goofy, it would have been one of my new favorite words- darned historical baggage…

I had no idea - but Naomi did. Whichever employee said it should be suspended for their part in this whole debacle.

I knew I'd read it here. I looked it up. Guess calling him a "honkey" was appropriate.

That;s assuming that any employee did in fact say it.

The Snoop thing was ridiculous and obviously racist. Naomi's just playing/making up shit so she doesn't look like someone who screams and abuses the "little people" for no reason.

They also kicked out ~150 people because one person protested the assault of a deportee on board. By protest, I mean they said "please stop it," since they were sitting on the man and holding him though he didn't appear to be struggling. The only issue was that he was screaming that they were going to kill him. After the deportee was taken off board, the man who protested was removed and when the rest of the people complained, they kicked them off.

Why? Because it was a flight from the UK to Nigeria and of course they can charge these Nigerian-Brits as much as they feel like while treating them like garbage.
