At 28 years old, Raven-Symoné has a very clear sense of who she is — and isn’t. The former “Cosby Show” actress and star of “That’s So Raven” recently sat down with Oprah and opened up about her strong sense of self, inclu…sigh @ ‘don’t label me african-american’
*whispers* The new black coalition has gained another member
smh
Oprah tried to save her, to give her a chance to clarify and Raven doubled down. :(
Raven: I’m tired of being labeled. I’m an American. I’m not an African-American; I’m an American.
Oprah: …Oh, girl. Don’t set up the Twitter on fire… Oh, my lord. What did you just say?
((OPRAH KNEEEWWWWW. SHE KNEW ))
Raven: I mean, I don’t know where my roots go to. I don’t know how far back they go… I don’t know what country in Africa I’m from, but I do know that my roots are in Louisiana. I’m an American. And that’s a colorless person.
((Sis.))
Oprah: You’re going to get a lot of flak for saying you’re not African-American. You know that, right?
((OPRAH IS STILL TRYING TO SAVE HER))
Raven: I don’t label myself. I have darker skin ((Girl)). I have a nice, interesting grade of hair ((GIRL)). I connect with Caucasian, I connect with Asian, I connect with black, I connect with Indian, I connect with each culture ((……………………………………………………))
Ok. Alright.
WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU
Why do all the new blacks come to Oprah to show they ass? Is that how they initiate themselves?
ooooh so this is the full story… I love how I never have to do any research on anything I just keep scrolling down my dashboard till I get to the bottom of things.
Oprah Winfrey is getting tired of this lol
Welp. I lost all respect for Raven. The fuck you mean you’re not African American? Being American doesn’t mean abandoning your roots.
