Raven-Symoné has addressed accusation that she denied she was black as the alleged comment has haunted her for years
Raven-Symoné has addressed her controversial comments about race that had her facing 'so much backlash'.
In the episode titled “We need to talk…,” the Cosby show star brought up a 2014 interview with Oprah Winfrey where she “felt like the entire internet exploded and threw my name in the garbage.” “He is commenting on something I said to Oprah back in 2014,” she explained, before a clip of the infamous interview was played on Tuesday’s episode of her podcast.“So you don’t want to be labeled gay?” she was asked. Shaking her head, Raven replied, “I don’t want to be labeled gay. I want to be labeled a human who loves humans. I’m tired of being labeled. I’m an American, I’m not an African American. I’m an American.
“When I say that African American does not align with me, that label, it doesn’t mean that I’m negating my Blackness or I’m not Black,' she continued. 'It means I am from this country. I was born here. My mom, my dad, my great-great-great-great-great — that’s what I’m saying. The pure logistics of it.
