Petition Launched to Remove Don Lemon From CNN & Raven Symone From ‘The View’

Don Lemon, Raven Symone

Petitions have been launched in an attempt to remove Raven Symone from The View and Don Lemon from CNN. Symone’s petition titled -Petition to remove Raven Symone from The View- comes less than 24 hours after she was criticized for her remarks about the Spring Valley High assault.

Raven Symone

The petition has over 7k signatures, is addressed to Barbara Walters and reads:

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.
