'Black is Beautiful' advert for toilet paper sparks outrage
The Brazil-based manufacturers of toilet paper 'Personal VIP Black' have been accused of racism for using the slogan 'Black is Beautiful' in advertisements starring a white actress. Notably, 'Black is beautiful' was a cultural movement started by African Americans in the US in the 1960s. "In Brazil #Blackisbeautiful is not a cause, now is toilet paper," a Twitter user wrote.
