Its strange that we are the only group of people, that has been named and renamed over centries! Yeah, WEVARE MIXED! Call me what you want, but dont call me late for dinnet!"

I agree with her about the African america part I do not like that phase. I am a human being and I have a name not a tag or label.Thank you very much

[twinsmm]

Good for her. I hate all this PC bullshit.  I don't want to be called a either.  Everyone came from somewhere. I came from Ohio.  I'm an American.

Raven is so right and I agree with her 100%

[becsocsci]

How dare that person have an opinion of her own. Let the twitter stalking begin, right?

[MrJoshinJosh]

I suppose that Symone doesn't mind being labeled as a crazed Disney nut because that's exactly what she is to me.

[ebanks]

The entertainment industry has ruined her. But you can't allow another race to label you who gives you the right to do such a thing???

[TheAylin]

She's right. She is an American. People have to stop using the prefix African! Her family may have orginated from Africa, but that was well over a hundred years ago! If African American is still a term then so should, British-American, Irish-American, German-American for people whose families have been in America for a long time.

[soulcology]

But she is gay and black. People in hell want ice water.

[abby-a]

I agree with her she doesn't know which part of Africa she came from a lot of blacks in America don't know so I can see why she don't want to be called African American, I just thank God I know which part of Africa my people came from, cause some blacks don't have that advantage, I'm glad that she not afraid to say it and some people on Twitter need to shut the fuck up cause they going crazy about it

[UCanBreatheNowImHere]

This is America. Everything has a label, including her shoes. Gtfo of here with this bullshit.
