The comment made by Raven Symone about hiring individuals with ghetto names received a lot of backlash on social media - she made a comment about hiring a person with a ghetto name like 'Watermelondrea' where social media on Facebook, Twitter et.al. stated that she was being racist against mainstream African Americans. Some suggest that she did a joke at Black folk's expense for approval by the mainstream where she is branded as a race traitor.
