Talk About It

One of my guilty pleasures is watching The Real Housewives "reality" show franchise, and the ladies of ATL are one of my faves. But Sunday night's episode was emotionally disturbing to me, to recap the happenings of the Georgia peaches;  Phaedra had extravaganza of a Christening for her handsome son Mr. President in which a long missed Dwight who created the event made his appearance.

I recently took a gander at this website dedicated to learning the ethnic background of famous celebrities. As I was skimming through the names I was quite surprised how many have either African or African American in their families. I was also taken on how completely open they were about their diverse cultural background.  As I scrolled down to read the comments about each celebrity it seems some people did not want to accept that their favorite celebrity had African or African American in their bloodline. A prime example is supermodel Adriana Lima who hails from Brazil, she has a diverse background that consist of African, Swiss, Indian, and Native South American. Some of the comments below were unsettling, people did not want to except the fact that she had African in her blood nor did they want to accept that she considers herself Afro-Brazilian stating that she is a "mixture of a little of everything".  That got me thinking why were some so quick to denou
