5 Memorable Black Women from “The Real World”

March 9th, 2011 - By Victoria Uwumarogie

Say what you want now, but “The Real World” single-handedly ushered in the reality TV craze. In the beginning, it was all about painting a grim, but true portrait of everyday life for young people in this little, big world of ours. And while the show was able to do all that, it’s always had a crutch when it comes to diversifying. The few black people featured from season to season were often remembered as over-agressive brothas carrying around ticking time bomb tempers. With all that, the black women of “The Real World” haven’t fully received their due, and with the 25th season starting today, it’s about time. A few of my faves, they weren’t all positive role models, but they looked like us, were interesting, and were very real indeed…Ooooo ladies first!

    Cynthia from the Miami cast. Hello!

    FYI….Tami was not the only black cast member of her season. She was instrumental in getting the black man thrown out of the house by getting the other women in the house to all agree that they felt unsafe. She likened him to a rapist because he tried to pull the covers off of her, similar to how she tried to pull the towel off another male cast member.

    Anyway, I didn’t like her then and I don’t like her now. *shrug*
