...sparking outrage among her Real Housewives Of Atlanta cast-mates
Her grandfather was famous civil rights leader Hosea Williams.
But Porsha Stewart appears embarrassingly ignorant about her country's history.
The 32-year-old reality star revealed that she thought the Underground Railroad was a real train on Sunday night's episode of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta.
Porsha and her cast-mates were seen going on a so-called Freedom Trail tour in Savannah, where they visited a church used as part of the Underground Railroad, the term given to the network of people who helped slaves escape from the South to the North during the 1800s.
The tour guide explained to the women that the holes in the floor of the church were used as ventilation for the people passing through a secret crawl space under the building.
Porsha then expressed her confusion, and betrayed her ignorance.
'Well there has to be an opening for the railroad at some point because somebody's driving the train,' Porsha replied, genuinely perplexed.
'It's not electric like what we have now,' she added as the tour guide laughed nervously.
'It wasn't a train, baby,' Phaedra Parks said as the other cast-members stood by in shock. 'That was just a euphemism, baby.'

It isn’t important for africanhyphenamericans, or anyone else for that matter, to be properly educated about those people (black or white) and those times when the underground railroad existed. All that is important for africanhyphenamericans is that they be “educated” to fully understand that every white person is a racist oppressor and how to get freebies from the daddy government. All that is important for white kids is to be educated to constantly apologize for all the years they have personally oppressed the africanhyphenamericans.
Don Cornelius was the conducter.
Wasn’t the underground railroad an early subway system? duh.
bflr
They are this ignorant, the show is completely scripted and to make the stereotype complete I believe the only one of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” that is actually married is the white woman (she hooked a stupid young Falcon’s player and he’s been a bust ever since).
Well, it may not be a real railroad, but it sure turned into the gravy train.
No, tell her that her name is a misspelling of the lead female character in Shakespeares’ “The Merchant of Venice”.
;^)
I'm betting if Porsha doesn't know about the underground railroad, she's equally baffled by the word "euphemism". LOL.
"She sure didn't do that interview on her way home from a MENSA meeting."
Wait a minute —
Do you mean to tell me that there was no subway running from Atlanta to New York???

That’s right - the Atlanta Housewives. She just got a divorce from Kordell Stewart (former Pittsburg Steeler quarterback). He initiated the divorce.
And her parents didn’t even know how to spell “Portia.”
MO also made a comment about her great grand parents riding that underground train.
Here is a good short video of the Underground Railroad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqf7-amGpQ8
I guess I am stupid because I have no idea who Porsha Stewart is or why we should care.
I’m proud to join you in ignorance.
Thank God Almighty... Free at last!
