Blurbal Perspective

Recently, Raven-Symone came under fire for siding with an officer who violently assaulted a young girl in South Carolina. After comments were made, dozens of people took to social media to blast Raven-Symone. The petition is only two days old but it has well over 100,000 signatures and the list is growing. You can find the Petition here: https://www.change.org/p/barbara-walters-petition-to-remove-raven-symone-from-the-view?recruiter=293473025 My Two Cents: I actually saw this coming. The surprising part is that it took THIS long for a petition to circulate. Signed. Sealed. Delivered!

Raven-Symone said on "The View" that she sides with the police officer that pushed a young student to the ground and proceeded to drag her across the floor. The reason the officer did this is because the student was on their cell phone while in class. When the student did not acknowledge the police officer, he flipped her desk over and assaulted her. Video of the assault went viral and is one of the most discussed videos of the month. Raven-Symone said that while the assault may have been ridiculous, the student shouldn't have been on the phone. Raven is quoted as saying: " You gotta follow the rules in school ." Up-and -coming rapper Angel Haze was appalled by Raven's support for the police officer, and issued the following statement: "I guess yesterday I went on a Twitter rant, and I asked Raven-Symone to fight me--which, by...

The season of break-ups continue. Us Weekly reports that Raven split from AzMarie after 3 years together. The twosome began dating in 2012. Raven-Symone outed her relationship during one of Oprah's "Where Are They Now" episodes: "I'm in an amazing happy relationship with my partner, a woman. I am proud to be who I am and what I am. I don't want to be labeled gay. I want to be labeled a human who loves humans. I'm tired of being labeled." Raven-Symone co-hosts "The View." AzMarie Livingston was last seen on "Empire," and "America's Next Top Model: British Invasion." My Two Cents: Perhaps Raven's recent verbal diarrhea contributed to the break-up. Maybe AzMarie couldn't handle it and Raven left because AzMarie couldn't get on her insensitive level.

The verbal vomit continues to spew from Raven-Symone's mouth. On Thursday's episode of The View, a video was shown that listed 60 of the most " ghetto names ." Raven-Symone said this about people with "ghetto names: “...I am very discriminatory against words like the ones that they were saying in those names. 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."       For some strange reason (sarcasm, by the way), Raven's comments have caused quite a controversy. Raven is no stranger to controversy. She had publicly denounced her heritage and her sexual orientation, which angered many people. My Two Cents: Oh Raven. You never cease to amaze me. I remember when you were this cute little kid on The Cosby Show. Now, I just wish you could revert back to your 7 year old self, before you became a hateful and jaded young woman. Discriminating against someone for their name is just tacky....
