Fans Of The View Call For Cannon Fire!

Calls for a cannon fire plague entertainer Raven-Symone.

One too many slips now has the former child star facing a backlash.

Raven-Symone (Pearman) started co-hosting The View in April. She was formally introduced to the program during the Fall season. Now six months in, many fans of the daytime talk show are calling for her removal.

In the wake of Officer Slam, the entertainer said the cop went out of line when did his take down of the teen. However, she slammed the teen for not listening to the cop.

She basically said that the teen should have put her damn phone up.

Officer Slam (formerly known as Ben Fields) was fired out the cannon last week.

I've heard a handful of students weren't happy about his cannon fire. The conservative agitators were promoting the counter-protest. Some students walked out of class in support of the now former South Carolina deputy for the Richland County sheriff's department.

There's a petition calling for ABC to fire the entertainer out the cannon. So far they see the entertainer as a goldmine. They consider her the Black version of Rosie O'Donnell.





The five most outrageous comments.

1) Defending Officer Slam
2) Watermelondrea
3) I'm A Celebrity And I Take Selifes
4) Defending a Spanish host after he called First Lady Michelle Obama an "ape"
5) $20 Harriett Tubman

On Change.org, there's a petition calling for a cannon fire. So far over 135,000 people signed on to the petition. I am guessing that Raven-Symone signed it too as a middle finger to those who want to throw "political correctness" around.

Che Scott-Heron, the U.K. woman who started the petition, wrote on the petition's website that Raven's statements only hurt the black community.

"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." Heron wrote. "We need strong black role models in prominent positions on television and Raven-Symoné cannot provide that. That is why I ask that we petition to remove her from 'The View.'"

As the daytime talk show enters its 19th season, ratings are down. CBS daytime's The Talk enters its 6th season within striking distance of The View. The second quarter ratings bested The View.

By the way, the third worst person to host a cable news show got a petition calling for his cannon fire. Don Lemon also faced a backlash after he got a kick out watching Officer Slam flipping the teen.

Rachel Dolezal: We're All Children Of Africa!

I'm proud to be...me! Rachel Dolezal comes out of hiding to tell the public that she's pregnant. By the way, she's White.

The former NAACP president who brought her "faux pas" to the junk food media announced she is pregnant. Oh, by the way, she admits that she is a White woman. She's also admits she's bisexual.

This woman is a hot mess.

Rachel Dolezal became a lightening rod for the agitators in the media. Despite all the good she's done for the civil rights organization, she hid the fact that she was a White woman portraying herself as a Black woman.

Dolezal's own parents "outed" her as a White woman. They told the junk food media that she was born in Montana. She wasn't adopted. She does volunteer work for the community. She was infatuated with Black culture. She lied to get into Howard University. She married a Black man. She adopted two Black teen boys. She even tries to talk "Black".

The junk food media sought interviews with her and wanted to know why did she fake the funk!

Dolezal refuses to be called a White woman. She says that she's a product of African roots.

The Real got an opportunity to talk to her.

She also addresses her feud with her family.

The Real co-hosts Tamar Braxton and Loni Love asked Dolezal about the matter sans pretense.

“It was hurtful to a lot of Black women,” said Love. “There were some people who felt that you never identified yourself as white so when you went to Howard University. Some people felt like they never knew you were Black, and so maybe the scholarship, you know when you got admitted to Howard, that took an opportunity from a Black woman.”
Rachel Dolezal talks about her ordeal and her pregnancy. She gets a grilling from Loni Love and Tamar Braxton. 
“Right, and that’s why I said, I acknowledge that I was biologically born white to white parents, but I identify as Black,” Dolezal responded.

Whether or not her admitting to being born white was enough, Braxton pushed the issue further and asked what ethnicity Dolezal lists herself as in official forms and documentation. Say, if she were to fill out a job application. Dolezal’s response?

“The form in particular usually defines things,” she said, before adding: “I check white and black, because we all have human origins in the continent of Africa.”

Dolezal did receive a standing ovation from the crowd for admitting her white heritage, as well as for her supposedly being honest while answering the co-hosts’ questions.

Raven-Symoné Joins The View!

ABC adds entertainer Raven-Symoné to The View. A throwback from her hit Disney series That's So Raven.

That's so Raven.

Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman professionally is an actress, singer, model and activist.

She was a Cheetah Girl. She was Hanging With Mr. Cooper. She was a Cosby kid. She was a singer who debuted an album at the young age of 7. Men drooled over her when she done the modeling gig.

Now during the daytime, she will give her opinion on the latest issues.

ABC announced that The View will continue another season with Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez, Nicole Wallace and Raven-Symoné.

She is the youngest co-host so far to join the daytime program.

It's struggling since the departure of Barbara Walters and the recent cannon firings of Sherri Shepard, Jenny McCarthy and Rosie O'Donnell. O'Donnell's return was clouded with controversy.
Whoopi Goldberg, Nicole Wallace, Rosie Perez, and Raven-Symoné. ABC announced that Raven-Symoné will continue on as a co-host and have a formal debut in the Fall.
Whoopi was appointed as moderator and Rosie often clashed with her over that. The cannon fired her out again. Although O'Donnell stated that she's dealing with personal matters involving her estranged wife, the junk food media knew it was a matter of time before she was going to be loaded in the cannon.

CBS daytime is winning the war. The Talk is in striking distance of The View and this is concerning to Walters and co-executive producer Bill Wolff.

Adding Raven-Symoné could be beneficial. I mean she's extremely passionate about issues like McCarthy. So expect a dash of controversial statements from Raven.

Her recent features were on Fox's Empire and ABC's black-ish.

Gone are the Disney themed cliches and the normal. She is extremely eccentric but still a down to earth woman to meet.

She turned all that away. She picked up a pack of smokes, dyed her hair like Miley Cyrus and started the spiral. Like most Disney stars, they hated the image. They had to erase the image. Raven-Symoné is no different.

A few years back, the entertainer publicly acknowledged that she's a lesbian and told tales of being tired of the being a "label".

She resides in either Los Angeles or Atlanta with her daughter and girlfriend AzMarie Livingston.
