People Want Raven Symone Booted From The View

First off, people still watch The View? Apparently enough to form a virtual angry mob. An online petition to remove Raven Symone from The View is gaining traction, here's what it says as reprinted by The Hollywood Reporter:

"Raven Symone has been spouting her ignorant and self hating spiel on the view for Long enough, from stating that she wouldn't hire somebody for having a ghetto name, to openly complaining about reverse racism, the final straw was her comment about the recent viral video of the school police officer assaulting the student, where Raven Symone said "get off your phone in school then". African Americans and black people around the diaspora need a voice representative of their views and not a voice representative of what white people want us to say. We need strong black rolemodels in prominent positions on television an Raven Symone cannot provide that. That is why I ask that we petition to remove her from The View."

As for ABC, they had this to say:


"We love Raven. She is confident, genuine and opinionated, all qualities that make her a great addition to the panel."
