Oprah knew what the hell she meant by it. 😒😒😒

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She mentioned not identifying as African-American, citing a lack of known connections to Africa beyond her skin color. If she instead chooses to identify as a Black-American, I don’t see why there should be an issue with that.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 I love the fact that she told the truth your an American stop making it about skin color

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Raven: I don't label myself Also Raven: I'm American 🤦🏿‍♂️😏🦝

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She’s speaking facts though.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Facts she cant tell the full truth Oprah would cut the tape asap.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 I see the umars in this TL are mad..... Let them be..... LoloL

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Oprah butt started itching 😂

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She's all kinds of messed up Disney did a number on her

@Aye_Yo_Jo33

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She meant "I am better than" African.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 It was the comment about hair texture for me

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 “I don’t label myself” but then LABELS herself ‘An American’. Confused so-called intellectuals 🙄

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 If you’re a U.S. citizen.. you’re an American 🤌🏾😂😂 we’re ALL Americans ..

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 @gk75337397 she means she's not a IMMIGRANT! she's a BLACK AMERICAN DESCENDANT OF AMERICAN CHATTEL SLAVERY with roots from Louisiana⚫🔱🔴✊🏿🇺🇲.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 When they tilt they head smile and pitch they voice that’s when you know they lost it

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She should sit with white people and have the same conversation see their reactions…

@Aye_Yo_Jo33

@Aye_Yo_Jo33

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She’s right tho. If you move to America from Africa they are an African-American (regardless of sink color). If you move to America from China they are an Asian-American. My race is black because that’s how I look but I myself am not African.. n I’m not fully black either

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Being African is not a nationality, or an ethnicity, or tribe, but it's simply a race! The black race! And Africa is the continent, the ancestral homeland of African people! Hence, being African doesn't necessarily mean you are from the continent, but it means you're just black!

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Yeah, or you can stop by the police you tell them that

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She’s actually right. The Yts do not identify as European American, so blacks should not identify as African American. Y’all are simply AMERICAN.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Yeah my ancestors are Black Americans. My people from the Carolinas and Georgia there ain’t nothing documented before that. That tie has been severed a long time ago. She knows whats up.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Oprah was uncomfortable with that conversation ..

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Clearly she’s American. But it’s even clearer she doesn’t know the difference between nationality and ethnicity. She only identifies as black when she needs the paycheck

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 When you realize we are American you’ll realize raven was right the mf Africans don’t even fuck with us yes I’m black and American I’m not African American I didn’t come from Africa to here I’m a black American

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She is American, but she is black, light skinned. Black Americans should always let immigrants from Europe, Asia, Latin America know that they were in the USA doing the groundwork way before any of them arrived.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Naw cuz how am I African American when I never been to Africa?

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 The label of black people is changing all the time. We were n*gg*r then negro then colored then black then African American.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 Niggas did crucify her when she said this . But when you look back a lot of celebrities said this and more .

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 I feel her on not being African America , and just calling herself American , if we stop acting like we are visitors here, Maybe they will treat us like we belong …

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 She so lost..... Smh

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 It’s hard figuring out your identity in front of the world but she could’ve kept it private.

@Aye_Yo_Jo33 ......Shes half right LOL
