Naomi Campbell spewed racist slurs in arrest

Tbdnaomicampbell041008Really, who buys things because Naomi Campbell models them? Surely not security at London's Heathrow Airport, who have plenty to be PO'd about if what the U.K.'s Sun says Campbell called them is true.

The tabloid says the supermodel's rage in Terminal 5 last week was accompanied by some choice nastiness. She apparently called a white, female police officer a "white ****" (whatever a **** is) and a "white s**g," which The Juice* can only assume means slag or shag, both words rendered harmless in our print by Americans' complete indifference to them.

But our favorite is the report's claim that Naomi called the cop and her pals "f***ing white honkeys" after she was dragged off the flight to L.A. in handcuffs. Scotland yard staff were apparently furious about statements Campbell allegedly made to a friend about the reason for her arrest. "It just goes to show I have to fight for who I am," she supposedly said. "It’s because I’m black.”

Actually, Na-Na, it's because you freaked out when a bag didn't make it onto the plane, spitting on cops and making a scene. Security generally doesn't like that.

White boys: stop your whingeing! I understand you're upset because Sarah Jessica Parker is one of YOUR better looking "women", but that's no reason to take it out on Naomi!

Instead, take one of your hairy-legged, horsefaced "women" out to dinner: the waiter will ask "Nosebag or plate for your companion, Sir?"

slag? is that like...hag? Doesnt make sense to me, but then she looks like a man in drag in that pic, so ANYTHING she calls someone should just roll off the shoulder....

Slag is a terrible thing to call someone - it pretty much means old, nasty wh**e.

honky??? didnt that word go out in the 70's just as disco was dieing

I think we are making great strides in the U.S.A towards color blindness and the last thing we need is a Naomi Campbell using racist remarks....I do agree that it would go along way if people like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and other black leaders even Mr. Barack who I ...a 49 yr. old white registered Republican male am going to vote for....would speak out against racism whether it be white or black. Help the white folks on the fence believe that you too....are Color Blind.

This didn't even make the National News. Let a white celebrity say something racist and it's all over the National News. She's a has been. I'm getting tired of this - everytime a black person acts inappropriately they play the race card. When will they ever take responsibility or their own actions? No wonder the circle of ignorance never ends.

Grant her wish - send her to the plantation to pick cotton. And tell her, "you're right - it's because you're black. Any more questions?"

The woman makes millions doing nothing but flashing T & A and has to make herself feel good by blaming others for her failings. So she stoops to racism. Let her fight for herself while she's doing some stoop labor. And don't let her have makeup or nail polish or a razor. Two years ought to do it. She'll be as famous as Martha Stewart.

They should make her contribute to the White peoples college fund to mend things.
Ooops!! we don't have one. Damn

Wow...a black calling a white a racist names. Hmmm how come Al Sharpton isnt yelling at Naomi or gone public saying she was wrong????

Oh Yeah...that's right, because the white man is always to blame. Surely they should have bowed down to princess naomi and done all we could to say we are sorry for enslaving her ancestors and kissed her feet and hand delivered her luggage to the plane.

Blacks, or any minority cannot be racist. I'm white and God forbid, if I utter the "N" word that can never, ever be used by whites, but can be used by blacks in every sentence that is spoken, sung, rapped, or written. PC at it's worst!

Another low class celebrity just looking for attention.

"Me, me, me. It's ALL about ME!" What a self-absorbed wench.

She is just a pathetic bigot who is being passed over for younger, more attractive girls.

Who really cares about Naomi Campbell anyways? To me she looks trampy and to call a white woman a honkey when her luggage bag didnt make it on the plane, is just plane unclassy. I mean look at the picture above, she looks like a lost dog with oversized sunglasses on!! LMAO

If people (let's keep it to American's here) would stop kowtowing to these so-called celebrities who offer nothing to society, aren't legitimate, and are righteous about what they deserve because they made a few bucks walking slinkily down a runway, the sooner these people would be on notice that this behavior is intolerable. Can the Brits keep this piece of s**t?

Slag's actually a pretty vile term in the UK. I'd be pretty p*ssed too.

Seriously, does Naomi Campbell even really work anymore? Or is she just famous for being... infamous?
