5 Memorable Black Women from “The Real World”

1. Coral Smith: “The Real World: Back to New York” 2001

Love Tami, but Coral goes down as one of the most popular faces from “The Real World”’s long run because of her abrasive personality, even being crowned the “Roommate You Love to Hate.” On the show, she assigned herself the role of teaching misguided white roommates what being black actually meant, and was no stranger to conflict, labeling herself not only a feminist, but a “Itchbay” because of her frankness, not solely because she was un-liked. Like an awesome fly, Coral stuck around after her season and made a name (not necessarily a good one) for herself on many of the spin-off Challenge shows, where she actually was a winner in the “Battle of the Seasons” show. Brash, bold, loved and hated by many, Coral, the chick with the small body, big chest and huge personality, will always be known for scaring the bejeezus out of her caucasian counterparts by shouting them down on every show and challenge, and for so eloquently exclaiming to the world, “I don’t wrestle, I beat b*!%#@s up!”

Who would you add to the list of your faves?
