Post-Racial Already? Celebrities Who Say Racism Doesn’t Exist Anymore
Raven Symone
Raven Symone ruffled more than a few feathers last year when she said that she considers “colorless” during an interview with Oprah. Earlier this week, she ruffled those feathers again when she defended fired Univision host Rodner Figueroa.
Rodner was fired for saying the First Lady “looked like she was part of the cast from ‘Planet of the Apes.’” On a recent episode of The View, Raven responded: “Some people just look like animals.”
Raven went on to clarify that it’s not that racism doesn’t exist ever it’s just that there are fewer examples of it than some people think: “Some comments are rude, some are disrespectful, and some are racist. Try to not exchange one for the other,” she tweeted.
She followed up by saying: “My opinion/comments arn’t based off race, that doesn’t mean i’m trying to be a different race all together. I love OUR history, family… We have Irish Culture, African Culture, Asian Culture, Indian Culture Many more running through the veins of AMERICA! Come on yung peeps.”
