Raven-Symoné under fire for 'name' comments



Former Cosby Show child star and current The View host, Raven-Symoné is in hot water after she said she would not hire someone with a racially stereotypical name.

Here's what she said.

"Just to bring it back, can we take back ‘racist' and say ‘discriminatory,' because I think that's a better word," she said during the show. "And I am very discriminatory against words like the ones that they were saying in the video. 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."

Social media did not take it well. For the better part of the day the former That's So Raven star was blasted repeatedly and roasted online for her comments; her name and her opinion.

Here's the video so you can check out the comments for yourself.
