We can say we're somethin else all we want, but others will always perceive us a certain way whether we like it or not

The issue a lot of people take with Raven Simone's comments is that she doesn't seem to acknowledge or embrace her heritage or her people's struggle.

It's true that white Americans don't have to identify the way black Americans do. We typically don't say "Irish American" or "Italian American" these days.
But they don't have the same stigma nor continue to face the same challenges that African Americans still face.
