The ladies of “The Real” took DNA tests to find out their ethnic identities, and the results are in. Take this journey with them on the road to discovery.
yeah she kills me too...😂😂😂Was sooo real and funny. .. All this white people out there will be suprise to see there 7%african! !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 Maybe it will change the world. ...😉😉😉😉
Parveen jj if you go back in watch the real daytime she say people thought she bleach her skin she had a disease she didn't so get your life you tried it PERIOD TTTT....😃😃😃
@ actually Ivory coast and Ghana are family. The population of Ivory coast is made up of about 60% Akan and exactly the same percentage for Ghana. So you have a lot people in Ghana that have their relatives living in Ivory Coast. So basically Ghana and Ivory Coast are like one people so when she celebrates being one of any of the two countries it is actually the same
@@yawowusuansah2029 I understand what you saying and I'm sure true but after seeing a lot of videos about DNA results, we also have to admit that many people only pay attention to Ghana when they see Ivory Coast/Ghana. I have several theory about this, one being simply that Ghana is better known by some people, being an English-speaking country. It's the same with the term Benin/Togo where some only focus on Benin or Cameroon/Congo, even though way more slaves came from the Congo.
Just how Adrienne was excited and proud to be black is how the rest of the black community should be. She's only 7% and she's excited as if she's 100%. Black people we are beautiful, don't listen to society!
***** honey "black" africans are the majority in the african continent and they are everywhere around the continent. If she wasn't black the lady would have told her she wasn't. She's puerto rican and puerto ricans are a mixture of Spanish, Native American, and African Ancestry. Regardless how you look at it she has "black" african ancestry.
I'm now convinced that lighter skin tone doesn't tell you anything, Tamar is 84% black, while I'm only 50% black I'm waaaayyy darker. Genes work in mysterious ways. :)
Why do you think many are a bit disappointed when they find out they half white? My ancestors are part German, British, and *some* were not consensual either, and were slaughtered by our men with bare hands for raping our Samoan women. Some of them German and British fled our islands to keep from being chopped to pieces and left the women pregnant and abandoned.
@@Rosie-qc1fq IKR... I personally feel I have every right to feel the shame at least. Although grateful to be here in this life had I known that this was how my generation had came on the come up Idda been more happier with the man upstairs. But God is sometimes busting that puzzle about our history.
+thicksticks Uhh no one seemed more shocked than Tamar that she was actually black. She was flabbergasted and said she needed to speak to her parents. I guess they lied and told her she was Indian...KML
@@m_solomon_2233 That's not true. You only have to look at their knuckles anyway. Ever heard of the Red Igbo from Colonial America? It predates skin bleaching by almost hundreds of years.
Long Lance cut the bs and accept that Africans have so much diversity in appearance and that we aren't just subjected to one skin tone. Stop spreading false information cause bleaching isn't genetic.
maypendy yukung - she said “REALLY” when she heard her African percentage. She said “I’m SHOCKED.. Wow” when she heard her European ancestry .... those are SURPRISED reactions. Stop trying to make something out of nothing
Talisha C It would make since for her to assume that.Having a white grandparent makes people assume(even though it’s not the case ) that they are 25% white.
@ Angie, I am not trying to blow my own trumpet but you need to meet me and my other Nigerian friends. I am sorry I've been coming across the crazy ones.
For those wondering why Tamar is lightskinned: lots of African women are lightskinned. Let's take a look at Nigeria. South-east and South-South Nigeria has a high concentration of lightskinned ladies and men who, of course, are not mixed. Specifically, the Igbos, Ibibio, Annang, and Efik tribes. So she could have had an ancestor, male or female who was originally a lightskinned African. Africans are not just dark-skinned people. We are highly diversed. Dark, Brown, Fair... We have them all.
Yo, for real! I keep trying to tell people that! Black does not equate dark skinned. I'm black as night but my little sister and brother are 'yellow'. And the two in between them are darkskinned. My parents are dark skinned. Like, what the hell. But we all look like carbon copies despite the age gaps and skin tones. Smh. Lmao. We used to call my little sister 'taxi'.
Truth Sayer 77% is a stretch as skin bleaching is more prevalent in the south and in certain cities of the south and not to burst ya bubble but more than 50-80% of Nigerians don’t live in big cities where bleaching creams are found
This segment was great! I would love to do a DNA test like this. I know I am at least 85% African (West and Central)...but I want to know about my other African heritage.
+Empressive Out of interest, why do you expect to have other African heritage? Unless you are actually from the other regions, it's pretty rare (like the woman said in the video)
Adrienne's response gives so much LIFE!! At only 7% African, she jumped up and took pride as if she was a full blooded African. She was more excited to be African over anything else. Just imagine what the world would look like if those of us that are far more African were just as proud of our heritage. This is one of the best shows I've seen yet!
Because it's a spiritual connection. Puerto Ricans are already taught to embrace the fact that they also come from black bloodlines as well as the Spaniards and the tainos
@@GetItTogether911 she’s one of those white women that wants to be anything but white she speaks as of Latino is a race or an ethnicity her sister is also with a black man and has biracial children and Adrienne is dating a biracial man as well
@@roomsmush1398 taino/Indigenous blood in Puerto Rico is the highest in the Caribbean & 60% percent of the population is going to have it. The bloodlines was perseved via the women.
This was literally so beautiful !!! I watched all 5 of the girls results and I mean if this doesn't show that we are all the same and some how related ,connected , I don't know what does .. I mean it's just beautiful and amazing and I would love to have this done...
it is beautiful and a very emotional experience. both my parents and my husband got it done so I got to find out what I am and my children. it's so amazing and it brings u closer to ur family and people. u see the world differently. my husband is white (European mix) but all his life he thought he was Greek and native American. turns out he's neither. it was a huge shock almost like being reborn again but he was so excited to finally know who he really is. my dad always believed he was 100% Lebanese turns out he also has Persian, spanish, Italian, Caucasus. my mom thought she was Mexican, found out she's pretty much half native american and the rest is 41% West African, 8% British aisles and 1% irish. u should definitely get the test done! 😁
I did it from ancestry and it was an amazing experience I discovered so many parts of my Dna that I never discovered before idk a lot about my ancestors but I feel like I'm a lot closer to them & I feel like ik a lot more about myself too. I'm many different races & I was very surprised cause I am already mixed race but I had a lot of other races too
I took a class in college on genetics and apparently scandanavians and africans "partnering together" produce the lightest skin children, compared to any others pairing with africans. It's due to scandanavian (germanic) and african being two of the longest living races in the world. Called "deep seeded DNA"
That makes a lot of sense. People always telling me I'm too light for both my parents to be black . I have 14% Scandinavian in me out of my 32% European blood. They always assume I'm biracial or have very little African blood.
I was shocked by her African percentage also. She even beat Loni by 1%, and by their skin tones people would automatically assume Loni had her by way more.
maypendy yukung - Tamera is NOT white with black descent 🙄 she’s predominantly biracial. She’s only more European by a very very small percentage. & why would Tamar wish to be white ??? no.
+Sydney D I did because Tamar's shade is very close to Tamera's and Adrienne's, that's why; even though I intellectually knew for a fact that African's come in all shades. That's the problem with assumptions and the beauty of things being clarified!
+Sydney D cause she's is so much lighter in skin tone and most of her family is in the lighter range of brown skin tones. There tends to be an assumption that skin tone gives some indication of racial makeup even though there is not necessarily a direct correlation.
Attention to color struck folks out there...BLACK IS BLACK NO MATTER WHAT! This should be a lesson to everyone that your "blackness" is not related to your complexion!! DNA is a VERY deep thing. As Black people, we come in all shades! :) :)
I'm Congolese born in Canada. I wasn't surprised that Tamar, Loni and Tamara had some Congolese in them. Who knows maybe we have the same tribe (Bakongo people). Anyways, I'm so happy for them and hopefully they'll learn more about their African roots.
+ValJay I think she thought she would be more black. . . .And it surprised her that she had soo much white in her. she seemed so like whaat? when they said the white side.
+beaete ...I think the opposite, she was surprised about the cocktail mix of African countries with a little bit of French thrown in for good measure. See how that works. We all have our own opinions but can't really speak for Tamar. As Tamar herself never expressed happiness or disappointment with any of the results, just said she was shocked. In turn you internalized her saying she was shocked to mean that she was disappointed when actually she never voiced nor did her body language suggest disappointment at any of the percentages.
You people just won't let Tamar live....why must you always throw negativity at this woman? She is finding out her percentages before millions of viewers for the first time and even her genuine shock at the results is mocked as somehow being sinister. She can't even simply say that she's shocked without you taking it as her being filled with self-hate. How in the world did you come to that conclusion just because she said she's shocked by the results. Wearing blonde wigs does not mean she's NOT proud of her blackness.
@@irenebarongo5852 😒 Go re- watch the Video. At the 3:25 mark, the host clearly said "Tamar, you are 84% African". Please get your facts right before you post a comment.
Tamar is 84% African and so am I. She's 14% European and I'm 15% European. She's from Maryland and I'm from DC and raised in Maryland. I am 23% Benin/Togo and she's 22.
Best of luck! I did one for my dad (his family's from MD too) and ancestry has been finding so many cousins we're related to :) hope it works out for you
my family roots lie in maryland as well and my dna test came back 67% african and 31% european ...nevertheless benin/togo came back to be my highest percent african country with 26% . i guess alot of beninese africans were dropped off in the dmv area apparently. ..though idk how accurate these tests are .
I'm now convinced that lighter skin tone doesn't tell you anything, Tamar is 84% black, while I'm only 50% black I'm waaaayyy darker. Genes work in mysterious ways. :)
You are right. But Most people who take this test is not looking for it to define them. Like myself. But to explore their ancestry and what makes them who they are. I know a lot of people who guess their ancestry, just to have an identity and family background. I knew a lot about my family before my test. But for those who don't there is a since of emptiness not knowing your families past.
great.. last thing Adrienne needed to be told is that she's 7%black 😒 it was like they told her she was 75% black now you know she's gonna act a damn fool even more than she does now smh
Well you said "it was like they told her she was 75% black now you know she's gonna act a damn fool even more than she does now". So you were implying that she gonna act like an even bigger fool since she realized she has a little black in her.
