9199: Why Only Ask Blacks To Lead The Protest?


AdFreak created a readers’ poll asking if Rihanna should dump NIVEA in light of the Re-Civilize Yourself ad that drew accusations of racism. Seems like a stupid question to pose, although it was apparently inspired by online protests calling for the recording artist to tear up her endorsement contract. Hey, if Beyoncé is still collecting cash from L’Oréal, why should Rihanna be expected to relinquish her loot? More importantly, if there is indeed a stand to be made, why doesn’t anyone ask the White celebrity spokespeople to join the revolution too?
