PC Mode Off: 15 Celebrities In Trouble For Saying The Wrong Thing
Raven-Symoné on Harriet Tubman
Did Raven-Symoné just shoot down the idea of having Harriet Tubman on the new $20 bill because she doesn’t want to offend white people?
This is the comment she recently made on The View:
“No offense to everyone that’s going to be mad at me for saying this, I don’t like that idea. I think we need to move a little bit forward. Let me just preface that I understand the history, I get it trust me, I was taught, I was in that culture. … I would’ve chosen Rosa Parks.
I would have chosen someone that is closer to the progression that we’re doing now. And I know you have to understand history so that you don’t repeat it, but that doesn’t really happen in our world, because we still repeat history of hating other cultures over and over again. So I would choose a different one, no offense.”
Do you agree?
