For some she was the beloved child star who warmed the hearts of millions on ‘The Cosby Show‘ and on Disney’s ‘That’s So Raven.’

Alas, Raven-Symone‘s departure from the latter has since gone on to see her slammed by the very fans who once turned her into a household name.

Why? The star’s decisions to share her world ‘View’ which oft reflects that the star’s seemingly down to earth nature is just as farcical as her career as a working musician.

In fact, when one is able to look beyond said farce it becomes pretty apparent that the seemingly “chill” Symone is anything but, seemingly unaware that her “unique” points of ‘View’ are actually ignorant, bred in the warmth of privilege, stupidity, and if comments she made today are anything to go by…prejudice.

Indeed, with the recent release of ‘What A Time To Be Alive,’ Drake and Future proved that there is strength in unity. Though existing on different branches of the genre, they fused their talents together and earned chart-topping results.

But, while the public have no problem accepting a multitude of male Hip-Hop artists, it appears that masses can only affix their focus on one female rap star at time.

Tune in after the jump as we explore this reoccurring problem within the culture.
