Zerlina Maxwell Divinely Drags White Reporter 9 Different Ways For Being Ignorant Of Black Greek Knowledge

Source: Slaven Vlasic / Getty Zerlina Maxwell Questions Why White Reporters Are So Ignorant To Black Culture Earlier this morning Kamala Harris walked out onto a stage to Tupac Shakur’s “California” at a book event in Washington, D.C. During the conversation, she made mention that she is a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and was met with a resounding round of “skee-wee’s”. Chelsea Janes (guess the race), a national reporter for the Washington Post was on-hand to cover the event and was utter confused by the sound of pink and green, she tweeted (and subsequently deleted, but we’ll get to why in a minute): Members of her Howard sorority are in the room and screeched when she mentioned her time there. Did not expect to hear screeches here. Chelsea was completely oblivious to the signal of the AKA’s and her ignorance sparked an annoyed backlash on Twitter. One such annoyed party is SiriusXM Senior Director of Progressive Programming and MSNBC regular Zerlina Maxwell. She rightfully and incredulously asked why white reporters are allowed to consistently lack knowledge of Black culture. Kamala is running for POTUS (probably). She's an AKA. The fact that the white reporter sent to cover her didn't know what Skee Wee was is not a good sign that the media is going to cover her with the cultural competency required. And it IS a requirement! pic.twitter.com/9MrZuGynIz — Zerlina Maxwell (@ZerlinaMaxwell) January 10, 2019 Valid. Point. Sista. Preach. For her part, Chelsea deleted the tweet and offered a mea culpa for her uneducated take. Guys, I’m so sorry. Had never heard about the Skee Wee call before, but I certainly have now. Meant only to convey enthusiasm in the room! https://t.co/bHI0eBPegP — Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes) January 10, 2019 Legit thanks to all who pointed out my ignorance. Big whiff. I know better now, and am sorry I didn’t before! — Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes) January 10, 2019 Anyway, my main point was that Howard loved Harris and showed it tonight. My apologies to the AKAs. — Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes) January 10, 2019 White journalists need to do more journalism…

Bring It All To Me: Here’s Why Shamari And Marlo Are #RHOA Role Beefing AGAIN

Source: Alex Martinez/Bravo / BravotTV.com/RHOA Shamari Devoe And Marlo Hampton Beef On Twitter, AGAIN Shamari Devoe and Marlo Hampton are beefing once again. The RHOA stars are going at it after Shamari and her hubby Ronnie Devoe appeared on “The Breakfast Club” this morning and spoke on a number of topics including their marriage that was once open, a concept Shamari called “cool for the moment” but not anymore. Things got especially interesting however when DJ Envy asked Shamari about Marlo Hampton who she got into a nasty shade fest with this week after she noted that she has a peach but “shady” Marlo doesn’t. According to Shamari Marlo’s jealous of her and wants what she has; a man, children and a permanent place on RHOA. “She’s known for engaging in arguments with the cast for attention—I guess now it’s my turn. I called her MarHo, she boosts her bootleg fashions and scams people, sleeps with old men, she’s trying to come for me for my fashions. Just because I don’t wear the Fendis and the Louboutins, I dress how I want to dress, the whole season she’s coming after me and I really think it’s because I have something she wants. She wants to be married, she wants children, she wants a peach. All of that.” 15:48 Marlo’s since clapped back and she’s denying want ANYTHING that “one-hit wonder” Shamari has including her tax troubles. As previously reported Shamari and her hubby owe Hey One Hit Wonder @ShamariDeVoe I don’t want your life owing almost 400k in back taxes & sharing the Legend w/t other women yeah that’s what I strive for focus on your husband & career, not me. I am NOT your storyline, shit I guess I am I’ll be ready for our next press run pic.twitter.com/ygy4rRbkBf — Marlo Hampton (@iheartMarlo) January 10, 2019 Ooop! You KNOW things got much, much messier. See what Shamari had to say to Marlo’s RHOA shade on the flip.

‘RHOAS11’ Recap: Marlo Forces Her Style On Shamari With A Hostile Makeover

Follow this link:

Source: Prince Williams/WireImage / Getty It’s still girls trip time on tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta . We pick p with Marlo trying to impose her “stylist” skills on Shamari, claiming she needs a fashion update and  an upgrade. Shamarai doesn’t take too kindly at first because it does seem like Marlo is being shady and not really trying to help, but eventually, she just goes along with it. The outfit ends up being some jeans, a giant scarf looking thing draped over Shamari as a shirt and a gigantic beach hat. Nene accurately calls the obvious thing out—it really just looks like an outfit Marlo would wear, some stylist she is. It’s raining out so Nene figures out how to turn all that pinned up shade into something a little more productive—a game called “B—h Stole My Talent.” It’s basically a battle of the talents competition series where the group will judge who wins.  Marlo and Tanya compete as the fashion queens. They model outfits and the group chooses Tanya as the winner. Then it’s Cynthia and Eva in a walk-off since they’re the models. Cynthia wins and it’s a unanimous decision, which says a lot because you know how Eva is always trying to come for Cynthia’s so-called dated modeling skills. Shamari and Kandi have a sing-off and while both women can sing,  Shamari brings it by singing “His Eye is on the Sparrow,” while Kandi falls flat—pun intended—with an original piece that had all of us scratching our heads. Anyway, Shamari wins. Finally, Porsha and Nene will be judged by who hosted the best and Nene takes the gold. It’s all love though, for now. The next day they split up for various activities. Kandi, Eva, and Sharmari end up doing aerial pilates while Cynthia, NeNe, Tanya, and Marlo get a massage. Porsha misses all the fun because she’s not feeling well and the latter group of women figured out that she’s probably pregnant because her behavior has made it obvious and they noticed weight gain in her belly. Cynthia even brings up making her take a pregnancy test and we hope not because, mind your business. NeNe visits Porsha back at the house and cuts to the chase. Porsha lies and says, “She hasn’t checked yet” (she took a home pregnancy test but is still awaiting her first official doctor appointment) but NeNe knows what’s up. She says she’s not going to say anything, but she’s super excited and tells Porsha that the other women are on to her. That’s when Porsha shows NeNe a Coca-Cola and apple juice concoction that she put in a Hennessey bottle that she plans to drink to throw the group off because she realizes that she has been looking suspect. Fast forward to dinner.  Porsha pulls out the Hennessey and leads a toast as everyone else drinks champagne. It’s odd that she would go from an “alcohol fast” to pulling liquor out of her purse for a toast, but it seems to work. It all goes downhill shortly after that when Marlo and Shamari go at it. Basically, Shamari says she didn’t appreciate Marlo’s aggressiveness about switching p her wardrobe. Marlo thinks she’s Shamari’s style savior and that Shamari should be grateful. It gets so intense that Shamari calls Marlo a “b—h” because she had time. Then Marlo fires back with, “Yo’ mama” (loosely translated) and that’s when the other women in the group jump in and try to calm things down. Finally, they make it through the dinner with wigs and fragile egos kinda sorta intact.

‘Dated’ Clothes Clap Back: Shamari DeVoe Shows Off The Designer Duds In Her Closet [Video]

Source: FreddyO / FreddyO.com Shamari DeVoe Shows Off Her Closet Shamari DeVoe of the “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” is showing off her closet. As previously reported Shamari clapped back after Cynthia shadily said that her Blaque performance outfit looked “dated.” “I did side-eye Cynthia’s comment about Blaque’s look and hair being “dated” when everyone knows that ’90s looks are coming back full circle…I think she should respect Blaque’s “dated” look just like we respect her “veteran walk.” Following that Porsha wondered why Shamari was open about everything including her open marriage but NOT open about getting a stylist. Now she’s showing off her shoe collection, her purses, and even some lingerie. Dated, WHERE?! What’d you think about Shamari’s wardrobe?

Delusional 1 & 2: Shamari And Ronnie DeVoe Are Already ANNOYING #RHOA Fans Over This…

Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty Ronnie DeVoe & Shamari DeVoe’s #RHOA Debut Was A Viewer Disaster Things got awkward last night on the “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” for folks watching the DeVoes. They made their introduction on the reality show and viewers didn’t warm up to their personalities at all! The issue was that Shamari and Ronnie are everything but humble when it comes to their accomplishments. So conceited, Shamaria and Ronnie showed themselves recording a “Jay-Z and Beyonce” style album. Shamari also told everyone that her group Blaque is on the same level as Xscape, and then Ronnie handed out some unsolicited performance advice to Kandi — the woman who BOOKED him and his buddies to open for her group on tour this year! Ronnie had one word of advice for Kandi, “placement.” Look at the “placement” of everyone’s body language in the clip, they are over him! Fans watching the show went IN on the DeVoes and their delusions of grandeur… Lolol who casted the Devoe’s? Bc I have some questions. #RHOA pic.twitter.com/yHKdJtu2iJ — Jas (@withloveamina) November 19, 2018 Hit the flip to see how folks roasted Shamari and Ronnie for displaying their delusion all over television.
