“...Im not an African American... Raven-Symoné stated in an interview with Oprah Winfrey recently. A surprised Oprah Winfrey stated in response ...Oh, my lord. What did you just say? Raven’s Response: I mean, I dont know where my roots go to, Raven explained. I dont know how far back they go...I dont know what country in Africa Im from, but I do know that my roots are in Louisiana. Im an American. And thats a colorless person. Winfrey warned, Youre going to get a lot of flak for saying youre not African American. You know that, right? The College Road Trip star put her hand up and reiterated, I dont label myself. I have darker skin. I have a nice, interesting grade of hair. I connect with Caucasian. I connect with Asian. I connect with Black. I connect with Indian. I connect with each culture. You are a melting pot in one body, Winfrey said. Arent we all? Raven asked. Isnt that what Americas supposed to be? The disappearing recognition of the African-American...is a part of an entire agenda, coming from many influential rich African-Americans. The so-called Talented Tenth. James Browns saying “Say It Loud! I’m Black and I’m Proud!” is quickly becoming a thing of the past.. I just wonder does Raven realize that if she was on the Cosby Show because she was African-American?? The Cosby Show was about a successful African-American family, not about just an American Family. Let’s add her to the growing list of black skinned, but don’t wanna be African-American rich famous people like Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, etc...now Raven Symone. SMDH! This is Adrian X, and this is “Just My 2 Cents.” Reference: eonline/news/585707/raven-symone-tells-oprah-winfrey-i-don-t-want-to-be-labeled-gay-i-m-not-an-african-american Samantha BattleTanja MayNzuri MunguBrianna JcNatefan PageCampbellNetta HarperChris MorrisLisa CarterPrrecious DiamantePepper SangsterWillie EdwardsMarsha FergusonKimberly McCoy DulaneyVanessa FlournoyVanessa DobyJanice MathisKelly NgangaSimon Mugeshi WA NjeriLillie R.
