I wonder what the racial makeup of Ashley’s mom is. I know she’s black, but is she half-white?

Ashley’s mom is a light skinned black woman. We do exist and are NOT biracial as Giselle and Robyn have pointed out for years.

Robyn shared dna results one time, and if I remember correctly, she’s like 60% white or something. That’s pretty biracial, even if her parents do both check the Black box.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Race is far more than the DNA of an ancestor.

The question was about racial makeup. Robyn is not all Black race. Therefore she is multiracial, if not downright biracial (black/white). That is a fact that Robyn herself has acknowledged. PP what is wrong with you?

DNA tests say sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan African =/= Black. Close to no African-Americans are 100% sub-Saharan African due to widespread rape, etc. It’s a multiracial group. I’m AA and less than 50% sub-Saharan African and no one would ever see me and say I was biracial. Her parents are the same race so how could she be biracial?

Because they are all mixed race, regardless of how they identify.

Good God people. Race is a social construct. They are Black. Being Black is about much more than DNA. Do you not understand the one-drop rule? One drop of Blackness means you get to experience all the lovely things that come with it. Ok? Those people are Black, Blackety Black. Do we have to spell this out 4 u?

Yes, because those of us who don't look black, don't get treated black blackety black. It is indeed a social construct.

You stated no one would every say you were biracial. You look black. Congrats. To many, Robyn doesn't, and I don't either. Doesn't make us any less black, but we can't act surprised/offended others don't think we are black when you hear it enough times. I'm not going to get outraged if someone sees me as white and I'm not. Their eyes can mistake me however they want and I have to deal with that.

It was refreshing to see Monique own up to it on Sunday. I cried with her. I can tell that Candiace was truly hurt by the breakdown in the friendship. I pray their relationship will be restored.

I cannot remember if it was RHOP or Married to Medicine, where they discussed that they do not use the term biracial because biracial implies a choice. To the extent that they have white ancestry - it is because of the rape of their African ancestors who had no agency to create a family unit. They could not event control the fate of their own children. Therefore, b/c of this lack agency, they do not use the word biracial. This is not Drake has a bar mitzvah and identifies as Jewish b/c his mother is Jewish and fell in love with an African-American man. This is, Gizelle's black ancestors were raped by her white ancestors, and perhaps because of colorism within the AA community, the family line remained light-skinned until Gizelle (who likes dark-skinned men, and thus, had darker skinned kids).

So you answered my question with yes, yes you are. You didn’t say she shouldn’t get offended you said she was mixed race. But I can see you are hopelessly infatuated with the idea that you are a special black snowflake so I’m not going to engage with you.

The important thing about the RHOP is that they are entertaining, funny snd endearing. Every single one of them. They are the best of all the HW, imo.

Monique and Karen do. RHOP is the best. My dh and his friend watch it because of Chris Samuels and Juan Dixon. The show has wide appeal. I loved when the ladies met to discuss the fight and Wendy and Karen talked about the impression they make and the negative stereotypes about black women. The show can be downright silly, but it has deep moments for sure.

I think they have an agreement to not be like Atlanta.

Chris Samuels’ voice is incredibly annoying. He sounds like Andre the Giant from Princess Bride.
