Raven-Symoné Says, “I Am Not African American”

Actress Raven-Symoné recently told Oprah Winfrey that she is not African American. The 28-year old recently appeared on Winfrey’s new show on the OWN network called “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” She talked about her gay lifestyle, and then said, ” I am not African American. I am American. I don’t know what African country I’m from, but I have roots in Louisiana.” She continued, “I’m an American and that’s a colorless person… I have lots of things running through my vains.”
She also addressed how she is able to keep her personal life out of the limelight. She said, “My parents taught me to keep my private life private to the best of my ability. They showed me all the role models out there that I could turn into” and encouraged her to think about “what I want for myself in the future.”

She continued: “What I’ve learned is it’s unnecessary to go to the most popular restaurant in the world when you have a scandal on your head and then get mad that someone’s going to take a picture of you. That’s your fault, boo boo. Stay in the house.”

Symoné, who has been an actor since age 3, first appeared on The Cosby Show in 1989, and went on to star in the sitcom Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper and Disney Channel’s That’s So Raven. She also starred in several films including Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Dolittle 2, College Road Trip, and Cheetah Girls. According to CelebrityNetworth.com, she is worth an estimated $55 million.

She worth a Lot :

thats why I keep telling Folks my roots are in Guyana 

she is also worth a lot of skuntery..she is a dumb skunt, soup drinker and a sell out.

there is a great deal involved in maintaining the reality of 'African American'  when the time comes if they come for she,  nutten she say like that above will mean anything to the fascist.

all deh wud know is that she is indeed AFRICAN AMERICAN.

THE AMERICAN PART WHILE ALSO TRUE THE RACIST DO NOT RECOGNIZE..DO NOT CARE ABOUT.  DEH DOH CONSIDER HER A CITIZEN BUT A MEMBER OF THE ENEMY WITHIN WHO MUS' BE ELIMINATED

Last time I checked half this forum was about news happenings in India. Don't forget your blood is still Indian (if you are in fact from the West Indies). You were brought from India to the islands as slaves to work the sugar plantations by the British. Don't talk down to me boy, your great grand daddy would be ashamed of you talking anything bad about your country of ancestry.. INDIA.

Well that India poster put it in perspective.

mind you , I am thrilled to claim Guyana ancestry : NOT India

doesn't bother me nidah.  it used to..very badly! but not anymore. I dont give a shhit now.

deh are all a**holes anyway, Africans..intractable, unbending, cannot change.

in the course of relating to Africans in TO I came across some diffs between them..like that between african Christians and Muslims that were utterly unbridgeable...chasms wider than the pacific...between black people who face a collective global enemy who doh give a shhit about their diffs but see them/us all, as black, to be exterminated or otherwise shut down

I was stunned to see the diffs man..many and virulent, intractable. but there is a lot of info about these issues, where they came from and how to deal with them, why they have to be transcended in the interest of the collective.  but they don't care man..period.  and the things we do to each other are incredibly negative given our global condition. and without limitation. we do not care if each other die from such action 

they do not refer to us, in all our nationalist incarnations.. where we were born.. as our own worst enemy for nothing.  it took me a long, long time to come to grips with this reality, but I made it in one piece. let Ebola wipe out most of the world man..and hope that intelligent ones survive and humanity restarts itself properly.

there are very few quality humans alive man..people who know reality, understand the scale of life and relative purpose of life and in life..who know there is no god, cant be gods, and that life and the real universe we can touch, quantify and use to enhance our existence, develop our security in existence..indeed to answer the question of 'HOW DOES HUMANITY SURVIVE INDEFINITELY IN AN EVOLUTIONARY UNIVERSE'  is all there is..which is not to state a limitation at all for the universe is unquantifiable.  there is actually too much to learn.  we are just focused stupidly on god abstractions, not on the true nature of what gave rise to us and all in it

humanity has made itself irrelevant by god and money.  in the pursuit of god and mammon we have degraded ourselves into the collective lump of psychotic, war-loving, greedy, polluted and genocidal human shhit we are currently.  we can make Ebola in a lab somewhere  and then let it loose on the world..just like we made aids and more and let them loose too. and who profits...the Pharmaceuticals..the giant medical corporations who now appear to be deliberately infecting humanity with disease for profit from 'cure's' they will sell for high prices.

this is humanity now...infecting the world's population for profit and political purposes.  same way and for the same reasons food is being monopolized..for profit and for social control.

so let Ebola get out of hand man.  that is what they are working hard at anyway..trying to make it spread as far and as wide as possible.  let it spread and clean up this disgusting human species and hopefully who remain..if any.. can start again wisely

I agree.

That is why I cannot handle SCA and his India adoration bullshyte !  >
