Last week, Raven-Symon\u00e9, co-host of “The View,” jumped into a conversation, which\u00a0was based on a new study at UCLA about racial bias toward “black names.” Raven-Symon\u00e9\u00a0said that she discriminates against people with “ghetto names” and won’t hire anymore with a name like “Watermelondrea” and news outlets immediately caught fire.<\/p>\n
After seeing various news articles, some being CNN and the New York Daily News<\/em>, I’m content with the amount of coverage and the lack of defending Raven-Symon\u00e9’s wrong behavior.<\/p>\n Raven-Symon\u00e9 is an American, although she disregards her African ancestry, she identifies with a unit of people who are composed of various beautiful ethnicities. The thing that is so horrible about Raven-Symon\u00e9’s comments stems from a mindset that we, as a society, need to work towards opening.<\/p>\n By bringing attention to how wrong Raven’s actions were we can use this and learn from it.<\/p>\n Though, perhaps it would’ve been more beneficial for media outlets to take a stand against her behaviors, although that would make a “fair and balanced” news source bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By ELAYNA PAULK Last week, Raven-Symon\u00e9, co-host of “The View,” jumped into a conversation, which\u00a0was based on a new study at UCLA about racial bias toward “black names.” Raven-Symon\u00e9\u00a0said that she discriminates against people with “ghetto names” and won’t hire … Continue reading
