Recently on The View, Raven-Symoné made some questionable claims about people with black sounding names. She said that she would discriminate against names, and not hire a person based on if their name sounded strange. Her father chimed in on the situation and said she was ignorant on this issue. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you think if she wasn’t famous she would be discriminated against? Does she have a point? Let us know in the comments below.

“Raven-Symoné’s father has joined the list of critics taking issue with “The View” co-host’s comments on Africanized names.
In an open letter posted on this Facebook page Friday night, Christopher B. Pearman said he did not agree with his daughter’s comments, adding that she sometimes says “dumb shit.”
“Raven is a really Beautiful, Sweethearted, Human Being. I should know. Her Mother and I Love her Very much and will always support her and have her back. Even if sometimes………. she says some dumb S#%T!” he wrote.”
