‘The View’s’ Raven-Symone Says She’d Discriminate Against ‘Ghetto’ Names
It’s difficult to say whether working for Raven-Symone would be a blessing or a curse, but rest assured: The former child star made it known on Thursday’s episode of “The View” that she will not hire somebody with an Africanized name.
The revelation came following a discussion of a recent study that found Americans make racist assumptions based on names.
The “View” panel then played a YouTube video of kids rattling off “ghetto black names,” including “Fo’Landra” and “Elephantisha.”

“Just to bring it back, can we take back ‘racist’ and say ‘discriminatory,’ because I think that’s a better word. And I am very discriminatory against words like the ones that they were saying in those names,” Raven-Symone said. “I’m not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. It’s just not going to happen. I’m not going to hire you.”
Tune in to “The View” next week, when Raven-Symone fields a call from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

“I never said I wasn’t black, I said I wasn’t African American -- to me that’s a difference,” she said to E! News correspondent Alicia Quarles. “Thank you to Ancestry.com for sending me my DNA test ... I am from every continent in Africa except for one and I’m also from every continent in Europe except for one.”
Seems like she comes from a night of excessive ? sex then some last minute vaginal action. This ? is full of ? and no knowledge. -
