Who Am I? ‘The Real’ DNA Results

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.

[@OnyxGoddess]

"Your ancestors who were slaves SURVIVED" Wow. that was such a nice way to say that. I felt that one 😌

[@jamie9914]

Yes me too.

[@bre_me]

+Onyx Goddess Me too, I felt it when they said it also (I'm not even black lol but it's powerful, it gave me goosebumps)

[@OnyxGoddess]

***** Obviously but that's not the point. When slavery is taught in schools it is brushed off, or said in a way that makes black people feel bad about their history. While it is not something to be celebrated hearing how she said it made it somewhat empowering.

[@OnyxGoddess]

+T.E. V. Yea its very different in the Caribbean (I'm Jamaican but I live in Canada) they're very vague on black history over here

"Well that's not a surprise Tamera" I died!! Loni gives her such a hard time😂😂😂😂

[@shinyjewelsz]

hahaha hilarious

[@Eurafrican]

Loni made a bitchy dig at her marrying a white man over Tamera's idiocy at asking if her black ancestors had been enslaved and transported to the Caribbean. Equally stupid. Black people that think they have a right to claim ownership and disapprove over their fellow black Americans for interacially marrying. This isn't "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner"!!!!

[@DasiaBlue]

Jealousy

[@a.whiteman4182]

Yeah, cause its funny to attack people who are white. Wonder what would happen if I had a show and razzed people who were black? Hmm.... We on the right will turn this around...election by election.

[@a.whiteman4182]

_Unlike Black Americans or non-White hispanics (and the whites too) who are sometimes threatened and in the past lynched_ See, that won't hold water. No black today knows what it is like "to be lynched". It's simply an excuse for a double standard. How long will the slavery card be played? 500 more years?

it's very frustrating that people aren't taught that slaves were also brought to the Caribbean, Central and South America.

[@mav3ric100]

+5chocolatedragon Nah they teach this in schools in the US, but obviously they didn't pick this up since no one really remembers everything from history classes (just select things and the select things one remembers from history classes differs from person to person lol) unless you major in history or something. I bet if you ask any of them that were also part from "Ivory Coast" they would tell you they've never heard of that country, hence why they were just screaming "gasp....Ghana!" cuz that's probably one popular African country talked about most often from the African continent (just like South Africa, Senegal, etc...) Even though Ivory Coast is another great and beuatiful african country.

"I'm more European than African." Well yes, African Americans and Africans from the Caribbean also have anywhere from 5% to 30% Northwest European admixture. So Tamera actually has an added layer of European admixture likely acquired from her mother on top of her father's European ancestry. So this actually makes sense.

This was a cute moment with Tamera. And it is interesting that Tamera is more white than black.

[@ImJerkBoii]

+MsBrooklyn11232 Mathematically, she would have to be. Most white Americans ( her dad ) are 100% European while most black Americans are some percent European because of slavery and/or past biracial relationships. It would come to reason that she would have more European ancestry than black. Most mixed black/white individuals usually will.

[@MsBrooklyn11232]

Lord Nick Yes I was thinking about that, makes sense.

[@979akkipuden]

+Lord Nick actually since humans came from Africa and migrated to Europe that would mean everyone on the planet would be at least a tad bit African and then their ancestors migrated to Europe and then Asia and Australia and then the americas so everyone is a little African even if technology can't see it cuz we not advanced enough yet

[@ImJerkBoii]

Delmar Sanders Yes. Buts its a VERY minuscule percentage. Literally like .2% African ancestry present in the average European American. Half of that (from Tamera's father) is just .1%. Meaning he contributed .1% to the 43% of her African ancestry. If you want to be technical though, every human in existence is 100% African.

[@ChristianConrad93]

Why does it have to be "reduced" as if being black identified is a downgrade? Hypodescent also plays a role in why mixed race people (African Americans) are referred to as only black.

To explain her Spanish ancestry: The Caribbean was "discovered" by Columbus and Spain claimed almost of the islands, including the Bahamas. England claim through and seized many islands like the Bahamas and Jamaica, driving the Spanish out. It's most likely that is where that Spanish came from.

I'm really surprised that Tamera was unaware that her ancestors were slaves and taken from western africa. I feel like every black american should know that. if you dont know which part of africa your ancestors came from you can assume they were slaves. Shes well into her 30's...

[@brieoliver]

elisha b It's one thing to read it in a history book. It's another thing entirely to be confronted with actual DNA proof that YOU and your very existence and being is linked to that history. So much so that you can pinpoint where your ancestors were taken from and by whom. That's emotional. Try not to judge. Many in this country will never bother to look into their own history in this regard.

[@erica-bm1ke]

Briana Oliver im not judging, she didnt even read it in books, she didnt know at all. if you listen she says she didnt know how they got to the bahamas. The Caribbean was a major stop in the transatlantic slave trade. I was making an observation. When i have the money to get a DNA test this specific i will do so, but at 22 I at least know about the transatlantic slave trade and its relation to black americans.

[@brieoliver]

You are judging because no where did she say she didn't read it in books. You made your own assumption with that. Clearly she does have some information if she knew A) Her family is from the Bahamas and B) it was ruled by the Brits for some time. Where do you suppose she got all of that? It certainly isn't knowledge you're born with lol. Good for you. But not everyone knows what you know.

[@erica-bm1ke]

Briana Oliver again, not judging, just paying attention. Which is more than i can say for you. Unlike you, i actually watched her reality show and they did a DNA test and it only went as far back as the bahamas and then she found her family and talked to them. so nope, no reading. How about you dismiss yourself now. Thanks.

[@brieoliver]

Yes...judging. It is impossible to "pay attention" to information you couldn't possibly know unless she told you herself. There you go judging again. I watched her reality show too and saw her, Tia, and Jerome travel there to meet relatives they didnt know they had. No where in that did either of them say they never learned about the slave trade in school. That's your assumption based on an experience that isnt even yours to judge. You yourself dont even know where you come from so how dare you talk about someone else's journey in discovering who they are?

Tamara just made me cry I love this show and how true she was with the results

[@LuvandGlamour]

I teared up. This was so interesting.

[@robynw8223]

"That's not a surprise Tamera." LOL! that's probably one of the funniest one liners Loni has ever had on this show

[@TempleCleanerSisterNacresha]

Tamera seemed so grateful for the information that she received about her ancestors!

[@thidra85]

I see a few people saying that Tamera wasn't proud of her European side. Im confused... how do you get that from this video?

[@clarke4400]

I found it funny when Tamera started cry😂😂. Her emotional state made her asked foolish questions also. But she was emotional, I believe, due to the fact that the information provided her with closure, closure to things she wanted to know and couldn't find out since she tried to, based on her reality show. But it's still funny tho 😩😩😩

[@AlphabetSoup123]

+Michie Oo Agreed. The clip made me want to shake her and Adrienne. I knew they couldn't have been that dense when it came to World History. I'm glad they've given full clips for this segment.

[@themuttsandthemal7729]

I have an ancestry DNA test and love the updates and how it changed! I would love to know how the girls test change from this initial findings!

[@LaurynK.]

I'm from Ghana too, Tamera. 6th March is independence Day. Don't forget it!!!

[@TahirRegister]

"...Well that's not a surprise Tamara.." lmafooooooo oMG!!!! I DIED!

[@christinaburton3676]

OMG! This brought me to tears!! 😥love u guys! ❤️️

[@AnnaBell033]

I never thought about it like that....African Americans who are living today are here because our ancestors survived. There's beauty in that the pain to that.

[@mickalahbeloe7600]

I love how she is so proud of who she is 🥺

[@alquainoo7318]

I'm happy Tamar is from Ghana 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Siayya]

This is like a dream for me..I so wanna do this for myself & get my DNA tested from both sides of my family mother/father!!! I wanna know where I came from.

[@a.whiteman4182]

South side of Detroit. That'll be 100 dollars.

[@glamour101girl8]

Do it I did mine and what a surprise I got it’s amazing

[@adelissahunsley]

@@a.whiteman4182 ancestry has sales all the time got mine for $59

[@joshuatetteh308]

Tamera, you're from Ghana just like Iddris Elba. You have to visit Ghana sometime to experience the amazing culture and food. Ivory Coast and Togo are our neighbors

[@shedabenitha7376]

after watching this video for almost three times, I realized how lucky am I to know where I am from precisely. I was raised in Cape Town, South Africa but now I am currently living in France. I am from the Republic Democratic of Congo, i was born in Lubumbashi (in the very south of Congo ) but both of my parents are born and raised in Maniyema, but moved to Lubumbashi because my grandparents were rich and that's were business was booking back in the day. they only have percentages but I know we're I am from. don't take anything for granted and don't be ashamed of being who you are because others don't know anything about their ancestors.

[@Talldoll1]

+Sheda Benita I can't speak for anyone else, but this is definitely the story of Black Americans... we don't know exactly where we came from. It comes up a lot here because everyone's ancestors came from somewhere (since none of us are natives to the land) and everyone is so proud and all we can say is.. um, Africa? It's so uncomfortable for us. One part of my family has a Facebook group and someone knows some serious history. Someone was able to trace back who our slave owner was, where our family lived and worked as slaves

[@jennyplatypus8961]

Thats cool! Although my family is from mexico because the french and spanish came and had babies with all the natives i dont know fully who i am. You hold on to that special knowledge how awesome!

[@TheBlueRage]

I am 17% Cameroon\Congo.

[@awandjaebhodaghe3151]

Tamera is so pure and sweet, we must protect her at all cost

[@grace-lw6lm]

Omdsss when she said 10% Cameroon I screamed!! Welcome to the family girl 🥳🥳

[@TheOtherSideOfAlex]

Awww I loved the way she told her everything.

[@elysemb8546]

Tamara is so genuine, i love her...

[@mayam1151]

I'll need Donald Trump to take this, he just might be part African, Mexican & Middle eastern aswell!!! 😄😄

[@Stargazer3131]

His late mother was Scottish hence his first name being Donald, but who knows what else he's got in his lineage!?😁😂🎯

[@gail235]

Tamera is so damn beautiful!!! She’s a perfect balance of her class and grace.

[@gracej6492]

This is very touching to watch. I love Tamera’s response.

[@lilyroseboyant3765]

Tamera, I'm a Ghanaian and excited to see that part in you: passionate and cool. Loni and Tamar,....I see more Nigerian than Ghanaian.

[@Bumblybee256]

I love it when someone can cry and just continue and everyone can continue without fuss

[@kashiefbebeto1]

I wanna do this DNA test soooo bad omg, I've always wanted to know my exact ethnicity.

[@DajiaStar]

No one is 100% one exact ethnicity, but I know what you mean, you want to know what groups makeup up your bloodline.

[@gingerspice3329]

Buy the kit from Amazon. $99+ Dollars.

[@Kiddofficial1]

My Ancestry Dna results included 21% Ghana and 20% Great Britain, I wonder if Me and Tamera are related 😋😂

[@JJehoves]

It doesn't work that way there are more than 15 main tribes and going to 30 sub tribes in Ghana and Britain is a mix of just about everything so the chances are very slim🤭🤭

[@AnimatedBlast]

Ok Ghana is a huge country, Britain is smaller but there is a slim chance that many Brits were related if they lived in different sides of the country 😂

[@jadecalay3949]

I mean that sista know she can drop some tears!! I'm the same way though I can't lie. Sometimes things just get you right in the feels.

[@45mo4528]

that was à very interesting and emotional segment. I love it. Thx for posting it!

[@12nacia]

I shouted through the TV yass Tamera all blacks in the Caribbean were brought through slavery. awww its so good to see her have the connection.

[@braelynamya9725]

My dna test was very emotional for me. My dad is Africa America and my mom is Korean. So I had what my dad had but there was something not from him so it had to be from my mom.She thought she was just Korean. It was surprising because my mom never new about her self because she was born in Korea and was adopted by my grandparents. My mom’s mom died soon after so she left her sister and her brother and came here not knowing about her self. Any way my dna matched with someone who was my moms cousin. Both of them had similar stories. So I was happy my mom had found someone from her family. My mom was so grateful to find someone and for my grandparents because she could have died but they did so much to help her and if the didn’t I wouldn’t be here today. Also it wasn’t so sad because I found some really cool stuff about me and I was a lottttttttt.

[@reggiegeorges5850]

[@emilyparr2747]

Did Loni's stylist think it was pyjama day or something?

[@CindyPaul]

It is very emotional to finally put your identity in perspective. I loved that I did my 23 and me I felt more whole at the end of the day.

[@MissLionRose]

Taking the DNA test really is emotional. Your imagination runs while based on the results :)

[@lastella1994]

I'm soo happy she has some Ghanian flavor in her I'm Ghanian as well we're from the same country yes!!!When I saw pictures of her mom and I saw her cousin Jerome I told myself that they looked very Ghanian and I wouldn't have been surprised if she had some Ghanian flovour in her and it's true.

[@akosua935]

+Priscilla Owusu Pankyee Lets go Ghana! Hence my last name haha

[@lastella1994]

Haha we love GH

[@prillad.3063]

I know!! The way she shouted w/ joy at the mention of Ghana tho! GH here we go!!

[@lastella1994]

Yes we are proud to be Ghanians
