Ashley Addresses Colourism Within the Group | Season 6 | Real Housewives of Potomac 

Candice loves playing the victim.

Not to mention that Ashley reacted to Candice calling her a slave. Now she is trying to make it seem like if Ashley started it. She is exhausting!!!

@@fatimawales8735 Ashley’s dry hair comment was in response to Candiace talking about her forehead, not her saying Michael drives his slaves.

Exactly. Candice is a master deflector. Calling Ashley a slave is more racist/colorist than Ashley insulting her hair smh

Agreed, and its problematic because when colourism really does occur it will not be addressed or taken as serious. Girl who cared wolf is Candice

Exactly, and deflates

Absolutely... She is an awful person

Yep

@@diamond_gleeglows6513 it’s ‘deflect’ hun, but I get your point…

The irony... eh well

Candice is draining 🙃

I wish Candice would stay true to who she is and stop acting like this. I saw her true colours the first season and I still hold her up to that standard. She needs to go back to that and stop whatever is cooking oil here

Exactly! Thank you.

You're giving her too much credit though

@@dinahsibanyoni8591 I guess.

And also because some of the girls are turning a blind eye on that or just tolerate it.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT AND AGREED

A lot of Truth in this one I think she needs to be out

👏🏾👍🏾👊🏾

And Ashley is ? Please !

the comment was racist not colorist , is true that Candice is definitely in the wrong but the way she behaves and the fact that she doesn't believe that there is colorism within the group just shows how ignorant and delusional she is.

The tears are for sympathy and used as a weapon. I just don't believe her.

Wendy is candiaces enabler and its really very unattractive to watch.

@@HelloKittykat21 I felt it was a valid point she made but I'm glad Ashley didn't get tripped up in it cause I don't think colorism is candice's issues. She is just incredibly nasty like it's not shade if there is no humor in it your just rude which is what they were trying to say. Plus she acts really aggressive and says no one can handle her comments but 5 seconds later she is crying and saying how everyone is so hurtful towards her

@@HelloKittykat21 she did the same last year about Candiace’s classist remarks concerning Monique

She called the girl a slave and referred to her as a bed wench but oh no that was not bad. Candice...BYE

OMG I told my friends exactly this. She is absolutely a mess and has no social intelligence

Mars, Spot on!! Candiarse needs a full psychological assessment before she has a major meltdown and cause someone serious harm!!

Exactly. I am 100% with Ashely in this. She has been trying to be nice with Candiance for ages.

I have to agree

@Kimberly Jade That's on you, I seen her foul nature for months now.

Thank you

She's a horrible person

Well the ladies come for her this new season being filmed. Apparently everyone calls her out and turns on her and she is the outsider of the group as the ladies apparently want her off the show due to her attitude and behaviour so they are trying to force her off

I remember when she was lecturing the group last year to stop calling darker skinned women aggressive. And then Monique chimed in that Candiace called her a hoodrat and ghetto. Basically adding to the stereotype. Candiace then retorted that it was because she deserved it. Rules for thee but not for me!

Back when they had their Twitter feud Ashley commented on Candiace's 'straw' hair in a now deleted thread.

Candiace also called Ashley a concubine and a bed wench and a filthy milkmaid while she was breastfeeding

When candiace was asked about throwing the salad at mia her response made me laugh. When she feels attacked or ganged up on or something to that effect she reacts....but Monique...lol. Candiace is exactly what she thinks Monique is. It's funny to watch candiace play herself this season. I'm not saying Monique should have grabbed her hair. Candeace has a vile mouth she can't fight. Her words are fighting words. Plat stupid games she'll win stupid prizes.

@@Ifigeneia.M Still Candice started it. You can't choose to cut people deep and get to police or dictate how they react. Ridiculous x

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 PREACH!

Like moust

I honestly agree with you lmao, she called ashley “wide body ass” and ashley called her hair dry, then she wanna brings colorism up 🙄🙄 please make it make senseeeeee

What sympathy thats y she deserved that Bop🤣🤣

She maybe neglecting her hair, sis is not moisturising her scalp

I’m sorry but coming for hair texture is no.

@@donnadash1417 who came for her hair texture?

Just another example of how candy ass is out of touch wit reality. She needs to go!!!

Her mother did a serious number on her head smh. She needs real therapy

I have dry hair and I’m white, but I’m also Polynesian so maybe I can call people colorist if they hassle me about my hair??? It makes no sense 😂

Mostly darskin so let's stop pretending.

@@nefertiitii8747 not really as light skinned Black women also have 4c hair…we’re not all biracial and are still Black. I have 4c hair and super proud of it

Unfortunately and coming from a black person married to a white person. Then she wanna turn around and try blame her mother. She has zero respect for anyone, not her mother, not her husband, not the ladies, not the serious matters she trivialises = no respect for herself either.

💯

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Exactly. Karen lied and admitted to it, called Giselle a drug addict, accused her of an STD, yet there is mo fuss about it, but Candaice saying Mia mother low budget after she called het work low budget is a problem??

@@ajanishillingford4849 another great example! Calling someone a drug addict is dangerous!! That type of thing stays with someone

I agree

But Karen has fessed up to who wrong doings to Gizelle and Gizelle likewise and the apologised to each other so it was already quashed. I think Jesus would arrive by the time Candiace fesses up to anything and apologises

@@jayro792 Candice apologized to Monique 5 time last season and she still fought her. She’s apologized to Ashley for the tweets last season as well.

Absolutely 🤣

100 percent!

Pls says the women who is constantly bickering with Gizelle for 6 seasons

@@CamiTales lol, also true!

@@CamiTales Yeah but they let it go not constantly cry and shout

Not even her mama could do that.

Claudia Smith, Preach!! She is a liabi!if I go everyone!!

They aren't issa lie

Andy left them to work that out....he doesn't want the fire if he says the wrong thing

And the ladies have owned it. Candiace is something else

Yet Monique was mad at Candiace for doing the same. Hmmm how sway

@@CamiTales exactly it's the double standards .i think candiace is more hurt about the fact that during that season she and Ashley had agreed to mend their relationship respectfully and move forward and even went out of her way to bring the cheating rumours about Micheal to Ashley just for Ashley to turn around and write a statement against her..... Candiace has animosity and resentment and there will never be any genuine trust with those two and I honestly don't blame her

@@CamiTales she simply didn't like the fact that she wasn't rd she'd be there

They are colorist.

No she's not jealous of Ashley, she's disappointed that's what I sense.

What is there to be jealous of? Candiace came on this show and Ashley instantly started shading her for no reason and they were supposed to be friends.

Jealous of what? Michael's a man groper who's stuck in the closet and wants Juan more than he wants Ashley. 😒

I totally agree with you 💯

@@Blaque07 I disagree!

Oh so these ones are not vile at all ? And IK you don't call her Agressivr when we Have Big feet Mia and Rick Flair Dixon in the room

Dorothy should get a crowdfunding for every new bag she hits Candiace with!🤣👍🏽

Wendy is delusional and thinks she is a know it all. She's a bully and thinks being a political commentator is enough to address racial issues but it's just a tactic she uses to justify her rude and aggressive behavior. How is that when she trashed Robin she didn't use her degrees and racial issues but when she's supposed to own up to her shit she plays the colourism card. Wendy has no respect and that has nothing to do with her being dark skinned and everything to do with her being insecure and a bully who uses her education to trash other women. Common sense goes a long way. Candice and Wendy are playing a dangerous game and they are a danger to black women all over the world. So irresponsible 😒. Dr of not owning up to anything. So classless (no pun intended).

I love Robyn

They mentioned it last year as well. It is a thing but I don't see it at all in RHOP. Only those insecure in their own skin want some form of validation from something that is nonexistent.

@@personaldove Dude.. We're white, so of course it's initially difficult for us to understand, but colorism is blatant in that group and denying its existence is part of one's privilege (of not having experienced it)

So you and your brother Bob are both white but he’s blonde and blue eyed and you’re not. Now ever since you can remember, your whole world has always just been about blonde & blue-eyes, from the fashion models you’ve seen on the runways to the major musicians on stage and the big movie stars on screen. Even the women in your community are partial to that nordic look when it comes to dating and marriage. In fact, blonde and blue-eyed is basically synonymous with the notion of beauty and desirability. But all this isn’t anything new for you, you’ve known this all your life. Just like you’ve known that by being dark eyed and brunette you’re always 2nd best, whether its with girls, or opportunities available or whether you or a blonde white dude would be jailed, if both were accused of a crime. Everywhere you go there are ads telling you to stick contact lenses in every shade of azure in your eye, your vision be damned, and Loreal hounds you repeatedly about correcting that dark, off-putting problematic hair with hues of flaxen and gold, all so that you will no longer be so pathetically 2nd rate. But what’s the point? It won’t be real. Nobody’s ever going to see your dark looks and then give a shit. Brunette’s don’t get to be the star, the MVP, the belle of the ball or the star quarterback. The biggest names in hip hop for example, aren’t going around marrying brunette bitches. And there certainly aren’t any brunettes being cast as heroes/heroines in the sensational sagas of Bollywood or across the world in the epic telenovelas of Latin America either. Y’all know good and well you’re the wild and trashy white folk. The ones that aren’t as cultured or polished, the ones closer to the savage neanderthals of the old days in stark contrast to your blonde brethren. Those Aryan works of art are not only sophisticated and refined, but educated, enlightened and everything to everyone on this planet. And just more fucking trustworthy goddamn it! Chances are, a brunette will steal from you, or be a big slut, because y’all are just so damn angry and aggro all the time. That’s colourism

@@Indigo_Boi757 i call bullsh*t

@@joshlgbt6372 I mean, had you maybe included which part or why, I could’ve taken you seriously but such an open ended response says it all. So, sure girl, you do that.

I think the issue is how they address it. Mia quickly apologized and said she was sorry and would do better. Where as Candiace is defending why her actions are justified.

@@serenity1255 exactly.

Is Mia considered light skinned though?

Exactly

Your girl literally defended that creep of a husband. Humble yourself please

her wig might’ve been what set them off LOL

Because both are used interchangeably in the mainstream. But a dark skinned people is also a race as opposed to a light skinned person.

nobody is doing that. Racism and colourism are two different things. This is about colourism (or the alleged)

@dreamland just to be clear tho, colourism isn’t about minorities arguing amongst themselves over who is more black or more Indian etc etc. Just in case your point made a tldr that was deeply incorrect lol.
