text: racist or overreacting? for an article titled "bubbles and bling" featured in a recent issue, rouzaud was asked whether cristal's image as a symbol of a flashy lifestyle was detrimental to the brand.    "that's a good question, but what can we do?" he said. "we can't forbid people from buying it. i'm sure dom perignon or krug would be delighted to have their business."    although that doesn't exactly sound like a direct slam, jay-z read them as fightin' words.    "it has come to my attention that the managing director of cristal, frederic rouzaud, views the 'hip-hop' culture as 'unwelcome attention,' " the rapper turned mogul said in a statement. "i view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands including the 40/40 club nor in my personal life." not overreacting why would he say "we can't forbid people from buying it." thats like saying we don't like it but theres nothing we can do. good job jay z
