Raven-Symoné is reflecting on her controversial comments in a 2014 interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which the 'Cheetah Girls' star said she's 'an American, I'm not an African American.'
Raven-Symoné is clearing up controversial comments she made back in 2014. In a new episode of “Tea Time With Raven & Miranda,” Raven-Symoné addressed her interview with Oprah Winfrey when she said that she’s “an American, I’m not an African American.” The “Cheetah Girls” star said that she was misunderstood and people didn’t hear what she said clearly. “I wanna talk about something that has haunted me since 2014,” she began.
” Raven-Symoné continued by saying that when she’s in another country people tend to say, “There’s an American, plain and simple” and not, “Look at that African American over there.” When Pearman-Maday asked how the public’s reaction felt at that time, the actor said that she “felt attacked.” “I felt judged and not heard,” she said, explaining that she’s not first or second-generation African American and identifies as simply American. “Stop mislabeling us,” she said.
