00:00First up, we have Raven Simone. The actress filled in as a guest host on The View and set Twitter on fire yet again.
00:10Raven defended the former Univision host who acknowledged that Michelle Obama should be on the cast of Planet of the Apes.
00:16Here's what Raven had to say.
00:18She tried it.
00:19Not Michelle Obama. Michelle, don't fire me from this right now, but some people look like animals. Is that rude?
00:24Girl, half my family does. Am I right, America?
00:26I look like a bird! I look like a bird!
00:30All right, count of three. Slade or Shade?
00:33Shade! All the Shades.
00:35All right, let's just jump right into this.
00:37That was uncalled for Shade. You don't come for Michelle. You don't come for the floaters.
00:41You don't come for the floaters. That's a tweetable.
00:42Mrs. Raven, when that big blonde and that black edge...
00:45What kind of tease? That was giving zebra tees.
00:47No, Shade. I like that when she was Olivia now. She trying to do too much talking. No, no, no, no.
00:52You're not feeling Olivia now.
00:53You know what? Raven got her only chance in Empire and she wants to keep her butt on the show.
00:59She needs to seriously sit down.
01:02No, it's true. It's true because that's nothing but a phone call like, no.
01:05Lee Daniels?
01:06Right. Hello?
01:07Never.
01:08Shut it down.
01:09And I think she tried to save it at the end. We didn't get a chance to show it.
01:11She said, well, some people say I look like a toucan. Do you feel like that was her trying to save it or...
01:15It was, but she's still trying to stick it.
01:16She tried to clean it up and it was still messy.
01:18It was still messy.
01:19It was very messy. You don't talk about the president, especially, I'm not trying to be...
01:22Like, he one of us. It's hard enough being black in the office.
01:26Amen. Amen.
01:27I don't even care if I look like I just came out of a fiery furnace.
01:30I'm still snatched.
01:32That is true.
01:33I will say one thing, Rosie Perez made the best statement on that.
01:35She did.
01:36She really did.
01:37Totally over arched by what Raven said.
01:40She said that people in the Latin community are actually black and they want it.
01:43They deny that.
01:44And that's what we really need to be talking about.
01:45And unfortunately, the media picked up on Raven's dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
01:50So we're not talking about that real issue within our communities as people of color.
01:52And Rosie's point was so passionate.
01:53I like the point she also made that you never...
01:55Or was it Whoopi that said, anytime you say black and ape, it's a problem.
01:59Right.
02:00It's a problem.
02:01It's a bad look.
02:02Unless it's grape soda.
02:03And safe.
02:04You always loves us some grape.
02:06Soda.
02:07And then you got to keep it moving.
