-----------------------------------------------------
In this clip, Amara La Negra went in depth about the racism that plagues the Latin community. She talked about her mother being criticized for having a child with a dark-skinned man. Amara also said her mom's friends would often discourage her to date dark-skinned men in an effort to "better the race," while also not ruining her potential children with overly Black features.
Amara La Negra also took time to shoot down the Blackface claims while also diving into some of the nuances of racism and colorism in the DR.

djvlad what is a regular college
GREAT interview.
djvlad Vlad you need to get: Mack 10, Xzibit, Boo Yaa Tribe ( RIP Godfather), Jon B, Z-RO, Slim Thug, Mike Jones, Paul Wall on the couch. Also, get Chamillionaire he could help with advice on business especially since he’s made a ton of money off some Silicon Valley start up.

Why did you replace the word darkskin with black, When the subject was darkskinned men???????
Calling someone a Haitian is a diss?! The only group of slaves who actually overthrew their oppressors?! Wow!
Darkeith Lofton yup! Fought the french with their Voodoo
If not for Haiti, the French would probably own a good portion of the U.S..
Naw they went toe to toe and whoop their asses....did not need vodoo
avionics...what does that have to do with Haiti beating the French, Spaniards, or British ...let me guess...NOTHING!!!
Jay Dub so what if they used voodoo
She is opening a can of worms that the Latin community keep behind closed doors. I'm very proud of this beautiful Goddess for her talent,beauty and openness!
millyionnnn I don"t know why it is a secret. Spanish people better realize that the world is changing. I"m Black and proud. I will never let any one think they are better cause they aren"t. It is the old Spanish grandmother and grandfathers teaching the hate cause they saw thw way White peoplw treated Blacks here in America ansd White are still treating Blacks bad. Yet i"m still proud to be Black.
millyionnnn , latinos dont keep nothing like this behind closed doors. Unless you are Argentinean who's population is almost 100% white. Or mexican where there's no african decendancy as in most indigenous ancestry countries in south and central America, we embrace our african heritage and ancestry. I wonder if she knows that the dominican republic ( where i am from too, and i am light skinned, but not white ) is 70% black. That the ppl that have this views, are a very minuete group. And not the way she's trying to put it out there. And once again, wrong or rt, or 100% wrong it goes on aaall over the world where there is a mixed color, or multiracial population.
Closed doors??? Everybody knows latins been on that skin shade shytt.
Hell, African-Americans, Carribeans....all people of the diaspora are on that colorism shytt.
Dont make it out to be like latins kept this behind closed doors.
It was and has *ALWAYS* been in full focus like all other black folks and their "demons" and insecurities that surround the issue with colorism
j acosta23
Mexicans do have afro-mexicans. Learn your shit boo. im one of them
Johnny James Ferreira
Oh, and dumb ass. Learn where the word "Hispanic" came from. Its from *HISPANIA*
What Portugal and Spain used to be called dumbass.
And once again, i dont call nor consider myself hispanic or latin. Im *MEXICAN* / *AZTECA* and *AFRICAN*
thats *AFRO MEXICAN* or *BLACK* to you.
Get it right you latin bitch
God knew what he was doing when he made Amara la Negra's career platform. Most Afro Latin entertainers are no darker than Zoe Saldana and their hair is straightened. To see Amara la Negra in the spotlight is a blessing. She's not just an inspiration to the Latin community but the Black community as well.
True and zoe saldana hairstyles is naturally curly
Alice the Great zoe is half haitian
@@PinkDogs1824 No, her mom is half Haitian, half Doninican. Her father was Puerto Rican.
I can't stand Zoe for that.She was the new Haley Berry to me until I stated noticein that she was fucked up on the culture.Love this sister tho.She real
@@PinkDogs1824 you wish
She is a beautiful black woman inside and out.

...actually she's African...as pure as you find today
She's 'Brown' Actually ....

Im glad she is exposing the truth about these hidden prejudices among the latino community. I used to work as a hairstylist for a latina salon, and I can't tell you how many arguments and fights happened when the Latina stylists would say disparaging things about clients in Spanish not thinking that some of those clients were Latina too because the women were darker skin with "nappy" hair and knew exactly what they were saying..
Salkis Re yeah.. some people.. I hate that
that's crazy, you cant assume who is latino from looks
Salkis Re what you not gonna do either is compare the Latino community to the American perspective. Latino always grew up thick skin and they will tell you about yourself before you ask. We always been like that, no hate we will still represent our culture, we still stick together, u letting Amara get into ur mentality of what she wants y’all to hear to be honest she been cut in the DR nobody listens to her music that’s why she wanna get fame now, plus amara is a beautiful dark skin woman she using whatever she can to look like the victim or using other scenarios to make her shine like no sis, sit down
Stick together? Really? There are so many Hispanic cultures and countries. Honduras and El Salvador went to war over soccer.Anything to keep the peace but you speak the same language, that's all.
+Valentine love What are you Mexican??? Dominicans don’t like you, Puerto Rican’s don’t like you!!! “Stick together”??? Really??? There’s actually some Hispanics FINALLY acknowledging this bullshit of a concept, she’s not the only one. And no your wrong Latinos do NOT always go off on WITHOUT doing it in Spanish. I’ve worked with MANY punk Hispanics talking shit for NO REASON AT ALL!!!
Colorism is a serious issue in minority communities, I salute her for calling it out...
Especially hispanic communities , The joke is you want to see real Mexicans watch American tv.
@IllegalBe4n3rI think George Lopez joked about it . Not the comedies but the dramas or novelas
Lol no black men like colorism, just not when it’s directed toward them .
@@jackier8142 in BLACK COMMUNITIES *
Black communities over the world suffer with colourism and Asians that’s it the rest I don’t care Afro latins that are black I care about stop identifying with non black people
What is the issue with dark skinned blacks? Our sisters are so beautiful and intelligent.
William Howard Yea, only thing i dont understand tho is the weave. It messes up everything.
jafi joe - so I'm wrong for not having an issue with color? Don't judge me! I like women point.
Society has told them they are not beautiful and some of them believe it....
The issue is that we live in a system of White supremacy.
I've honestly never seen it i grew up in chicago lightskin women and men were at the bottom of the totem pole

I cannot find any white women that is even as half as desirable as this sista. Stunningly beautiful!!
headley sappleton I got one for you. Grew up in Africa to. Charlize Theron. A white girl with a black body and beautiful colored eyes!
Yes u took the words out my mouth
OC-SJC :. Not white you can't
If only you could differentiate between singular and plural words. Women means multiple and woman means one... She’s Latina not a ‘sista’ 🤫
Brother, you hit the nail on the head. She is extremely beautiful. Even with my eyes closed she sounds beautiful 😘❤️
Her race is Black. Dominican is her culture. Latino is NOT a race.

She’s speaking straight facts. Not only does this happen in Latin communities but it also happens in black communities. It’s truly sad and I’m glad she publicly spoke about this issue
HeyAyckee S
Black communities?? You mean American communities.
HeyAyckee S this shit happens all over the world.
Even Japanese ppl use skin bleaching products
Miz Young-G Nah girl, black communities unfortunately. My Caribbean boyfriend’s mother spewed that rhetoric to her kids too.
Happens in the African continent as well, compare the blackness according to each others nationality, tribe etc.
It happens in all communities of color. In India it is worse even they encourage bleaching. Just like in Africa. I heard in Islamic community the same thing when i was studying islam in arab countries the term for a black person is abeed. Meaning slave.
Forget Beyonce, this woman is flawless. She is beautiful inside and out.
It’s Sierenaa oh stfu Beyoncé is THEE QUEEN y’all don’t have to put a black woman down to uplift another it’s just pathetic
Both of them are beautiful!
She looks like a darker skinned beyonce.
@@princesszahara6953 nah she is awful
What did one have to do with the other? You can like her without bashing Beyoncé
So sad how Dominicans use “haitian” as an insult.
Sniper Gang even worst that they are related
Sniper Gang Sad but true.
don't generalize a group on the actions of an idiot. im dominican and i don't discriminate
Sniper Gang Not really. Lots of haitians get offended when someone calls them haitian. So much, to the point that a lot of them try to adopt fake names to try to pass as "dominicans".
Jose More and why exactly do you think they get humiliated........?😒😒
Love what she is doing for my fellow Afro Latinx community. My mother’s side of the family (Dominican) HATED my father who was a brown skinned black American man. Even though many of them were brown too. They don’t even want to admit that they are black they hold on to the Spanish Conquer ancestry for dear life!
hebrew israelite what part of Florida? I thought florida was less racist from both Hispanics and whites
Jazzy Cakeup where are you from?
Spanish Conqueror ancestry? But like do y’all realize those spainairds were straight European and not Hispanic/Latino in the sense that y’all are today? Do y’all know that like....Idk man. A lot of comments I read and stuff I’ve heard makes me think Latinos/Hispanic folk really don’t know much about their own factual history...they just know what they heard word of mouth. Which is weird cuz y’all are very prideful about your history. But I’ve been in plenty situations where I know more of what they talkin about when it comes the history than they do
flex luthor i don’t know any Dominican who doesn’t know the Spanish were from Spain, we have monuments honoring Christopher Columbus and his family
Jazzy Cakeup Amara La Negra is a phony. She's now turning on dominicans - the crowd that put her on the map. She's turning on the DR to build a story for afronazis in the US English market. Karma will charge her. Your accusation against the DR makes zero sense considering that the DR has the high percentage of biracial popularion as a result of dominicans of different colors mating together.
I’m from Miami and most of this country doesn’t know how racist the Latins are in that city. So glad I moved. Shots out to Amara for keeping it real!
That is why I am tired of black people giving Hispanics the n word pass. Some of them are more racist than white people without the white privilege smh
It's true af sometime
Nzinga Sankara most cubans are white so...
avionics not all Cubans, most Cubans coming to America these days are either black or biracial looking. I used to work at the bush airport in Houston saw this first hand
Jess J
Co-Sign that!!!
They are two faced and play both sides of the fence.
Sad 😔. I’m a light skin Mexican who married a dark skin woman. And I’ve heard amongst her side of the family commenting on how she did a good choice by marrying me because she bettered her kids. Which really piss me off because I don’t see color defining a person or peoples. It’s something that really needs to do always, first by teaching our kids that color is not a standard of social economic standards and of Beaty too.
Juan Snow your name says it all.
Juan Snow why are you so surprised about that? We do the exact same thing among hispanics.. we discriminate against our own when they have dark skin and are always told to marry white “ Para mejorar la raza “ and I can only imagine the talk behind your back and in your face by your own family members if you are married to a black woman. Or the looks you get from hispanics when you are out with her.. I feel that we as hispanics, Especially Mexicans are the most racist ever.. and if you don’t experience any of what I just said.. Then you my friend are a one of a kind case..
Jay Your comment is JUST plain Stupid and Ignorant!!
Lorend F I was raised in Ca. So I was kind of shielded from our own discrimination believing that we were discriminated not doing the discrimination. Not til I started socializing with my own people and winning their trust to where they would tell be I looked racist myself. That’s when I realized the problem we as a Hispanic culture have a problem of discrimination.
Jay I’m sorry not every one can be part of the aryan brother hood.
How is she damaging the Latin race when she is a descendant of slaves dropped off in Latin America that merely speaks the language of where they got dropped off
Joseph Gray because it’s her culture. They will blacklist her or disown if they got petty enough. Kinda like me going to another country and speaking bad about Americans... same thing.
BEAUTY actually that culture was forced on our people in Latin America just as anywhere else in the world we were shipped off to
hebrew israelite they should also consider her bad then so i digress
hebrew israelite Hispanics are half white so they have the same mindset as their Japhetic European brethren
Clockwork white people don't like nobody not even those amongst them
Damn I love me some dark skinned Latinas. I just love dark skin period.
Donny Fair she still look like black wat makes her different DA label
Donny Fair Dark skin is masculine..
Chichi Cortez even she was dark brown. I'd still like her or a female.
Conor The No Stamina, Hugging McGregor being lighter or pink is better lol.
I don't know what's people hang up about dark skinned folks lol. We all human.
Yooo the fact that some Dominicans use Haitian 🇭🇹 as an insult is both sad and not surprising
S N Haitian are the problem Haitian insult Dominican republic bye infome before you talk we Dominican no need Haitian Haitian need us no o.k.
Joselito Rodriguez Haitians are the problem? That’s ignorant a.f. I love my Dominican friends so I won’t disrespect y’all culture, but we do not need y’all.
yeah i hate they do that shit in DR. They call eachother haitian as a joke.
u make no sense smh
How are Haitians the problem? I'm curious. Tell me.
Haitian man here, I'm handsome, proud to be Haitian & absolutely love my African heritage. ROOOTS & CULTURE!
All non white people who suffered under European colonialism were taught to hate themselves and love the oppressor. People of African descent want to be light with silky hair. Asians want larger eyes and have surgery to do this. They also marry white to change their children's features. The funny thing is whites want African features darker skin, fuller lips and bigger behinds. At 18 when I became fully aware of this madness, I learned to love myself as I am. I embraced my Haitian heritage, love my chocolate skin, and my natural hair. There is nothing fake about me from head to toe. God made me in his image and he did an excellent job.
Lynda Saint-Val Very true! When we're in the sun the most is we'd just get darker(Taned) but white people BURN 🔥 Like i had my friend with a sun burn.. I was scared like wtf? I never seen a sun burn before till then. I may have 4c Hair which is thick af but its long and it shrinks when wet but im very happy with my "Nappy" hair cause it doesnt shed like wypepo hair does. Just know how to handle it in sections 💙 I'm proud to be black because i dont hold myself to European beauty standards anymore.. My mother used to want to relax my hair and use creams to make my skin lighter. The side effects were horrible.. Hair falling out if i go in the pool and my skin used to be uneven.
*Tbh im glad i stopped and love my black skin for who i am*
Im 19-Jamaican/Trinidadian American.

@@RodrigoSahagun bruh go to costa chica youll find black women black lexicans
Okay if Dominicans and Puerto Ricans don't want to be black...they should give us back our reggaton , dembow's , salsa, Spanish trap, merengue etc. Which came from Africans and hip hop .. since they don't "want to be black" ..
june 7 gemini .. facts! 😆😆😆😆🙌🏾🙌🏾
Oba X + jafi joe I'm so sick of white Hispanics and their bullshit ,but they copy whatever new thing it is in hip hop or what Africa has contributed.
june 7 gemini .. facts, most so call “latino culture and food” is derived heavily from africa
kenny lafortune exactly arroz con pollo is simply jollof rice..all of the specialties derived from Africa..all carribbean food is basically the same.
june 7 gemini .. it’s sad I’m haitian (which is the blackest country in the carribean) and a lot haitians still prefer to use french as an official language, claim to be Roman Catholics ext, worshipping all the shit that our ancestors fought the colonizers against 🤦🏿♂️
This would explain why all these corny telenovelas only have white people 😂😂
RicoLamar987 yeeees
Bust the door wide open Amara, expose all the racist in the Latino community.
DCB CHANNEL- DA'ATH, CHOKMAH, BINAH YOP :)
I love it.
Shes stating the facts.
That's the latino community.
centenoj85 Sad but true
I'm Haitian and I'm soooooo happy she didn't try to cover the self hate Dominicans have and the hate they have towards Haitians....meanwhile we occupy the same island. Our history is so layered. I remember when I went to DR with my best friend (who is Dominican) they absolutely refused to believe I was haitian according to them I was too light. BUT I stand in my Haitianness proudly and wouldn't deny it anywhere.
I love that Amara stands in her Dominicannes AND her blackness something a lot of Dominicans refuse to acknowledge.
avionics i'm actually lighter than what this picture, it's probably because of my curly hair but that's my whole point. The first thing in your comment was about my color. The WHOLE island both Haiti and DR have every shade. I have members in my family as light as caucasian, caramel like myself, chocolate and dark chocolate. That's the benefit of being black...we literally come in all shades and being Caribbean is just a bonus. So happy we dont have colorism blindness in my family.
avionics but yeah they told me that and I was just in Punta Cana and i was speaking Spanish so I can see how they would think I was but once i told them i was Haitian they just wouldn't believe me until one of their coworkers who is Haitian told me he was too. When we started speaking our language that's when they finally believed me. It's just sad to see a whole nation of people deny their roots because of European brainwashing that pit us against each other. Despite all the bad press Haiti gets and how bad the country may seem there are good parts and a beautiful history. I can stand proud as a Haitian because I know my history. I have family that own businesses there, in politics, my dad used to play for the national team in the 70s etc. But enough of my rant.
My best friend is Dominican so I know there are some good ones out there it just sucks that we're on the same island and let a lot of outsiders pit us against each other to where you have two black nations colonized by different European countries literally pit one against the other yet they got the slaves from the same place. For dominicans to literally hate Haitians based on skin color is sick because just like black comes in every shade in Haiti...black comes in every shade in DR.
It's also pretty funny you say i'm pretty dark to you (which was probably meant as an insult) but looking at your pic we're damn near the same color. And let's be real if I was standing next to Amara and neither one of us spoke without hearing our accents you'd think she was Haitian and I was Dominican based and he being dark and me being lighter than her
She spilled tea on not just Latin Americans but also about a lot of darker people around the world because we see this concept of praising lighter skin in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and of course the United States as well. Let’s not act brand new.
Happy that my beautiful Dominicana Amara shed some light on it! ✊🏽🇩🇴
She didn’t spill any tea on the subject. Every black person knows this
Sad and sickening. Salute to this Sister for shedding light.
Bee Cott black American female's be on bull shit
Alkane Irseal No. Some, sure. But No. Get off my post if you’re going to generalize my sisters.

@@carsonc29 How did she "trash" anyone? The fact that y'all view "white and pale" as insults is projection on your part, it has nothing to do with what this person actually said.

As a fellow Afro Latina I’m glad she’s speaking out. But it’s funny to me that people are so shocked by her experience and that the media has questioned her narrative. Anti blackness is a global trend, thought that was common knowledge 🤷🏾♀️

Amara this interview bring us almost into tears for at last being heard! So real and clear in the true version of the type of stereotypic arrasment to us who are black hispanic. We are Panamanians, but Caribbean descendants and there are lines between black and brown, divisions between afro caribbean and afro latino, being a latino vs a black latino, its really crazy and sad!. But true word Amara, aqui la gente se autocondena, pretende ignorar su raza, menosprecian sus raíces y todo empieza con una muy mala enseñanza en la crianza. Hopefully almost all here are bilingual, estamos contigo Negra te amamos!
MrJabratla Big up Panama 🇵🇦. ✊🏾nuff respect.
Si te queremos bastante mi amara morena
I’m 100% Salvadoran and I can attest the to validity of her statement . In Latin America , the whiter looking you are the better you’re perceived to be and the better you’re treated . I remember when my brother was gonna have a baby with his Domincan X , my mom would say , instead of bettering our race he’s making it worse .
alex avalos wow. I lived next to a Latino family growing up. And one of the girls had the biggest crush on my brother. Her brother told my brother one day his parents would never let her date him because he was black. But if he was white it would be ok. He said that black men were lazy. Lol. That’s the beginning of stuff like that I would later hear again.
Desirea Winton yes!
Their sooooo brainwashed by the trickery of the white world to make it white again😬
Most of us know and you’re not 100 percent Salvadoran. That’s a nationality not an ethnicity.
Reggie Noble I am 100% Salvadoran , my parents were both born and raised there , I never claimed that Salvadoran is a race . I did an ancestry dna test and I know my genetic make up .
I'm a straight woman and seriously this woman is STUNNING... How can people hate on her for her skin and her hair? She looks like a goddess
There's nothing that anybody could do or say to persuade me to date someone lighter just to fit into the european standards, i love my black men
neisha hunter As a black man.... we love you too....
Your not really anything special, you are just fetishizing a race like White men and Far east asian women.

Seguleh First Sword which means "BLACK”

Shaddy Raddy922 definitely most of them are West Africans and Haitians and Dominicans are basically the same people only that the Dominicans have mixed more than the Haitians. Only the border separates them and standing between them are the French and the Spaniards
Seguleh First Sword she looks human
She looks beautiful, women from those countries are beautiful
Her skin is beautiful and so is her energy
No Offense to the Queen Beyonce but I prefer Amara's looks including and especially her hair than Beyonce and her weaves. I'm sorry but Amara reminds me of a African woman with her skin color and the texture of her hair and that's what I grew up looking up to. Not this lights skinned and changing the texture of the hair stuff.
Again no offense this is just my opinion. Bey hive hold you rocks. Thank you!
Lily ZeMengist couldn't agree more!
Why does it always have to be comparisons between women. We come in all shades and hair texture FYI. You could've just kept that to yourself
i think you sound pathetic. african diaspora people have different hair textures and different skin shades. both are black women and treated as such. what black women need less of is things like you encouraging division. rich, poor, light, dark. all had to suffer in some way because of hatefulness. and still do. smh.
you're so caught up you don't even recognize that in attempting to further yourself from euro-centrism, you further yourself from the truth of your history. african people of no european heritage have the same features as beyonce in full weave. it occurs naturally for black people. but you've obviously drank the kool-aid believing the same lies you're trying to shake off. bet you hang around hoteps. they stay chasing actual white women, though. and will drop a queen quick for one a white girl working at dairy queen. but stay woke, tho. : /
Beyonce wants to be white
Damn she's fine.
Being dark skin, everyone thinks they have u figured out based on your skin color, sadly.
... That's true they think if you are dark skinned they think you are selfloathing
I only love Black women
Hey if that makes you feel better about yourself you can call us what you want.
Me too I love dark skinned women's
B 1 and ladyboys don’t lie
but if someone said I only love white women y'all gonna call him racist
Might be the 1st thumbs down I have given in years.
What are good features, have you seen some of those europeans. boy No thank you
Lol
Akyrah34 Vigier🤣
2 eyes, 2 ears, a nose, white teeth, arms, hands and legs are not good features.
I'm hatian and proud ✊
Sabine Duchard spell it correctly first, then you can add your pride ✊🏾.
Jasmine Burgess 😅 oups..u know still proud
Sabine Duchard lol
Sabine Duchard me 2
U FO You need to fight to chance the mentality of our Dominican brothas in the DR. Most Haitian don’t want War. Our enemy is the white man.
Oh my goodness! This is so true among all Latinos! There is always the “ Never bring a black boy/girl into the family “ i remember when my sister got married to a black guy. She even said she was never going to have babies with him, because she didn’t want her kids to suffer with the nappy hair and dark skin. Sad but true. If you are a Latino and you deny this, then you are a Straight up liar!
wah😟😟😟 do they have kids now
“Latinos” need a serious history lesson and also Latino isn’t even a race. It’s a mixture of various ethnicities.
Reggie Noble the word “ Latinos “ originated in the USA in the 1970 due to the Census. We used to call ourselves hispanics ONLY! and after the Hollywood Latin boom, everyone wanted to be Latin and everyone started claiming that even more!! And now with the reggeatton explotion! Every black hispanic person is coming out claiming to be “ Afro Latin “ just like Amara for example! 🤦🏽♀️
Miss Lady Yep that too 🤦🏽♀️
Lorend F Hispanic pertains to Spaniard European. Hispanic/Espana/Spaniard
I was with a Mexicana and she kept saying that when we have kids she wants the girls have to be very light because she doesn’t want her to have difficulty getting married. She loves black men but she doesn’t want her daughter to be dark skinned. She told me the boys can be dark. We had many discussions about that and I didn’t feel comfortable with all these bs.
90 percent of Mexican girls don't like blacks at all they love white boys homie besides Mexican guys
You are better off not being with her Heavenly Boy Jean. Find a Latina who doesn't have a problem with having children with you and having dark skinned and to love themselves.
As if thats something to control lol. Its reasons like that is what turns me of from certain latinas.
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 I am a proud Haitian woman !
Leak Jones lol 😂 you thought your words meant something ? Try again you irrelevant asinine trash.
Lala J Belle!... I could use a good Haitian woman in my life!...
@Moi Moi What's wrong with twerking or having sex? Maybe you need a little of both in your life so you can stop being such a bitter fucking hater towards people who aren't hurting you!
Sak Pase!
Lala J Sak passe!
She stating facts...with her fine self
Celia Cruz, said threated badly while growing up in Cuba. She that she was picked on her nose, saying that it's very big. Life wasn't easy for her in Cuba, because of her odvious blackness. This was a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, I said was , because she passed away. My children and I love dancing to her songs even though we didn't understand what she was saying. We just danced, because her voice , instruments just makes you want to move.
Exactly! Celia was beautiful and proud of having African blood in her genes and proud to be Cuban. It's all in the sound of her music and voice. La Negra Tiene Tumbao. This crap makes me sick!
Black is perfect. Black is beautiful. Love thyself always.
Why couldn't the Breakfast Club interview be like this? smh

To you.
Amara la negra is prettier than beyonce. Amara is the prettier woman in hollywood. she beat all women in hollywood. even aiswarya rai.
Michaelle Fille de Jesus how can she beat all women in Hollywood if she can’t get her music to surpass her vh1 legacy. She’s pretty but she’s not prettier than everyone in Hollywood.
i was talking about beauty dummy. she beat all the women in hollywood in beauty. now a black women is the prettiest women in holy wood. she prettier than aiswarya rai who no longer the prettiest woman in hollywood
u are blind not to see amara the prettiest woman in holwyood oh i forgot u jealous because a dark skin woman is prettier. amara has a doll face and a goddess face and u just jealous that your kind aint the prettiest women in hollywood u latina who think yall prettier than everybody loll
The Latino is not an Allie to the Black Community. Most Black Latinos get on code with other Latinos. La Negra is being off code, but I salute her. I repeat the LATINO community is not an Allie to the black community.
Don't be live this lie BULLSHIT agent
Ignorant.
We are not dumb. She's doing it for self promotion. Once she's made her money she will go back to playing by the same rules
Every time these famous people want the black dollar they start some skim because they know black people have esteem issues
Look at the male cast of black panther, they went so far as to obscure their non black spouses and market the idea they were dating the female cast because they knew black America was romanticising and living vicariously through them which=more sales
Latino is not one race dumbass. It's made up of a huge amount of blacks
can't even spell goofy ass bird
I love Amara la Negra, hopes she makes it far
Nah I don't wish her the best
There is nothing wrong with Haitian people . I really don’t understand.
Renea Salina hatians were the first free people and they helped Dominican republic and Peru And Columbia become free
DR is right next to Haiti. Haiti freed themselves from the white man and suffered financial sanctions from around the world. DR never freed themselves from the white man but are very jealous of the Haitians and the dignity they carry themselves in. There is a whole lot of hate against the Haitians from the Dominicans. Very deep seethed.
@@gavinscott10 the Dominicans freed themselves from haiti when haiti was in control. Read a book theres reasons for the hate
@@gavinscott10 war of restoration dominican natives vs Spain our second independence was against the white man.
We come in 32 different shades of color, and to be honest when we mix with anything we most likely upgrade that other race beauty but people gotta know we(Blacks) are targeted, hated and least sought for as a mate....why is this.
Allen Watkins right
Allen Watkins .....l dunno man and every race hates us....why why why do they hate us?
@Allen Watkins ttrue That is the reason all these white, mestizo latinas and even asians whant these mixed caramel babies by black men. They love african features mixed with something
yet the crazy thing is, all these white women talk about having black babies.. I don't understand how these other ethnicities of color say don't get with black people, yet the very people they tell you to be with, white people, (European, italian, etc.) love being with black people. Obviously not all, but many do!
gokarengo because they know they can't fuk with the GODS/GODDESSES. Make no mistake ain't NOBODY ON OUR LEVEL, it ain't even close. One on one they shit there pants..why you think they need a system to assist them!
Thats true i agree with her on everything. Im not even as dark as her and i went through it on my fathers side of the family smh. I have curly hair (Not even Nappy smh) they still would call me "Feo" (Ugly in spanish) because i had curly hair and not straight hair.Im sure they didn't mean it in a racist way being that its a stupid custom, but growing up i self hated my self and went as far as getting my hair straightened to appear straight. Its so stupid smh. but not all of the dominicans are like that. Atleast me i'm teaching my children differently and ironicaly they came out with super straight hair lol but they will never judge by the color of skin, hair texture or anything for that matter. We are all one! We are all human!
Anyone that says they never heard of that test is lying.
Kz5ive oh yea you're right. I should of worded it more directly, I was actually speaking about the interviewer.
candystayinatural alexander I have heard of it and watched on my African Studies class...
candystayinatural alexander I have actually never heard of it...I'm Haitian. 🤣
spring fresh ** hi, I think like another person said it may depend on your age bcuz this originated from back in the day..
Ive never heard of the test
NOW THAT'S WHAT BEAUTIFUL LOOKS LIKE!
I love her for her honesty....💪🏿✊🏿💪🏿
The Brown Bag test was very true and real. It happened to me in grammar school. Some girls would not accept me in the club because of my skin color. Ironically, few of the girls were darker than me. It also happened at family reunion with certain family members (especially with my light-skinned sister with wavy hair). My mother used to place clothes pin on my nose to look straighter; and the book on my head to walk with my butt in. My butt couldn't stick out. Of course, I can't forget the hot pressing/straightening comb. . It affect me for many years along with the self-hated. Amara is speaking the truth. It is about looking more white European. Good features: No nappy hair, No broad nose, No dark skin. Today and still, I love my blackness and Africanness, regardless of who loves me or not. I will love me.
Michelle Forte wow
Michelle Forte Very true! When we're in the sun the most is we'd just get darker(Taned) but white people BURN 🔥 Like i had my friend with a sun burn.. I was scared like wtf? I never seen a sun burn before till then. I may have 4c Hair which is thick af but its long and it shrinks when wet but im very happy with my "Nappy" hair cause it doesnt shed like wypepo hair does. Just know how to handle it in sections 💙 I'm proud to be black because i dont hold myself to European beauty standards anymore.. My mother used to want to relax my hair and use creams to make my skin lighter. The side effects were horrible.. Hair falling out if i go in the pool and my skin used to be uneven.
*Tbh im glad i stopped and love my black skin for who i am*
Contrived BS
I love that she's speaking out about this as a dark skinned black woman. It's just sad that hate and division is spread worldwide and we pretty much go through the same things. Praying for change
She told no lies. I witnessed this as a teen.
Im African American and Im in my 30's and even in my lifetime this is how people complement me: oh, you're such a pretty black girl, you are a pretty dark girl, you're a nice looking chocolate girl. I always find those compliments interesting although when I was younger I appreciated it very much now that I am older I see the madness that is behind labeling my beauty by my complexion. I have never in my life heard someone say to a lighter person oh you're such a pretty light girl. It's as if being dark and beautiful is a rarity. I accept every compliment and I still say thank you but with a different understanding . This mindset is not just in the Latino community by any means it is a general and widespread mindset that lingers anywhere that colonization and other types of Oppression existed. Things are changing and has been changing for quite some time but it's definitely still there. The same goes for our hair types. If your hair has curls or loose waves your hair is considered pretty if your hair is thick full end poofy it is considered nappy what makes one hair good over the other it should just be different but people will compliment you and say that you have good hair if you have curls. It's quite a mindset that needs to be changed
Joycr Waites which is probably why u date white boys, u ain't fooling nobody.
Amen. Blackwoman.Join,accept,support the Nation of Islam so we can cast truth after falsehood till it knocks out its brains. Peace.
@@spoiledman5811 Get behind us Satanic devil.
She is telling the truth 💯I been abused verbally by My Grandma on My MOM side, just for being as dark as My Papi I told Him and He always keap me and away from Her evilness.. My Dads Mom always told Me not to ever be with a dark skin Man so that My children would be more accepted in My America and the latina culture, I was confused 😞 but My Mom being a like skin Latina with a dark skin Man ( My Dad) Her family didn't accept Him..she always told Me " you are perfect just the way you are, you dont have to have my hair or compilation to make it in life you Awela is crazy )😂😂 I was pick on and had to FIGHTING alot living in PR..😒 in the 80's and in NY " the Bronx just because I was to dark to be latina by My own poeple for being to dark or for just being latina ?.
My skin is very thick & my self confidence is strong do to all I have Indore in My childhood and being a teen..I am very blessed and love the skin I'm in 😍💃💃😁 ...thank you for speaking out for Me and my girls 🙏many BLESSING to you 😘
Come to the Caribbean we black love black women with nature hair
Keron Smith she is from the Caribbean
Thats a lie. There is colourism that exist here and its getting just as bad as that. You a apparantly living in a bubble or living in a country where the majority of the population is black to have no experience of this whatsoever. It exist almost everywhere even in china.
dont go there them gully bitches would convince you bleach.
Mari E she was born in the states
they love skin bleach too
Lol, it's only Black people who get told that they must not date their own people, but when they date outside their race, others have a problem with that too...
Back in Africa African parents loved their lighter skinned Children more than the darker skin ones, now I remember one of my brothers was jet Black everyone hated him. They called him all the worst ugly words. We used to laugh about it, because I thought it was ok to make fun of his very dark skin complexion. Now that I know better I wish I could apologise to him but sadly he passed away unexpectedly.
Daisy that’s sad
ask God for forgiveness smh you might burn for that
please say the country .do not box the whole continent together.
Daisy you guys were the ugly ones on the inside
Daisy
😢💔
racism and colourism in Latin countries is just on another level...
And blacks think they have it bad here in America LMAO
It truly is. It’s on a whole bother level. The one drop rule basically was an advantage.
There is only 25 black american men for every 100 black American woman because this country has created a school to prison pipeline so its bad all over!

col·or·ism
prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group.
"colorism within the black community has been a serious emotional and psychological battle"
So very enlightening! It takes bringing these issue to light in order for change to happen. God bless Amara La Negra.
She is BEAUTIFUL
🗣B A D D I E
Have a HUGE AMOUNT of Respect for this Sista Here! SPEAK THE TRUTH SIS!
I'm so glad she's saying something about the racism in the Latino community.
@Ezekiel Tapia shouldn't you be watering a lawn somewhere ?
*Puerto Rico got that wake up call tho*
so are black dominicans
FACTS
That didn't get your statement.. .. lol. I did tho. 💯💯
Brianca Tanama
After the hurricane everybody on that island should know they are black. If yall were considered white, the island would be completley fixed.
JokerL1000 All Puerto Rican’s are not black! We can be Black, White, & Taino. They aren’t White American which I guess is what you mean. There are black Puerto Rican’s but all Puerto Rican’s aren’t black. I have family members that are white as hell and were born on the island. A lot of Puerto Rican’s are tri racial, White black & taino like me. You don’t know shit about us so stop speaking on us.
Proud Haitian here. Dominicans are Haitians. Majority are. People are so ignorant.
Lydia B i dont wanna sound ignorant but im dominican. How am i Haitian im actually asking? Im biracial btw
Maria Applebum you brong republic of Haiti Dominican republic is Dominican republic
Lydia B how the fuck are dominicans suppose to be haitians. So are americans suppose to be mexicans as well? You ignorant bitch
Maria Applebum when haitians are 30% of the dominican Republic population. This is why we are very agitated against you people and that you expect dominicans to welcome every haitian.
Maria Applebum are you serious ? Dominicans are haitians ? I ain't got shit agains haitians at all, but who the hell told you, or where did you read this shit ? Dominicans are first and foremost descendant of Taino Indians who the Spaniards eradicated with time. As time went by, we ( yes, i am 100% dominican ) got mix with Spaniards, French, and Africans ( the slaves ) brought to the island by Christopher Columbus.
Get your history rt, so you won't look stupid in front of ppl like me. Haitian wanted to take over the whole island, but our forefathers
( Duarte, Sanchez and Mella ) fought and took our part of the island back from haiti. Now, there's some, or a lot of haitian/dominicans now days ? Yes i give you that, but by birth and desendancy? Nope dominican are not, and have nothing to do with haiti.
Haitians Gained FREEDOM Before the MELINITE People In amerikkka !
And they ALSO HELPED the Dominican Republic
Da’Ladybug E true
what's wrong being with Haitian!!, because we are black and poor, are we not human ?😡
Haitians were the first black nation who got their independence in 1804.
Haiti Send it's own troops to help other Latinos Nation to get their independence.
we also fought in the American revolution on Oct 9,1779.
Yes, JEAN-BAPTISTE Dusabale-CLie the founder of the city of Chicago is Haitian. So Amara if being called
Haitian is an insult, you should be proud!!. Today things are not going well of Haiti.
The Lord will help us again once more in his own time.
We Haitian will do what we always did, never give up keep on fighting for survival and freedom. 😀✊
YES, we may be are the poorest country in the atmosphere but we are a proud Nation. 💞
Being Haitian is not a disease! Or U.F.O!! 😨😡. WE are people too.
Jess D don't every worry about what anybody thinks of Haiti, strangers opinions should never matter
I'm glad she's coming out and saying what she's saying. A lot of Dominicans, puerto ricans and other latin speaking countries and cultures are racist against blacks and even their own who are darker skinned.
I have experienced this many times living in the bronx.
They think they are a step above the black race but when treated unfairly in society they group themselves with black folks.
I'm not generalizing , but lots of them are racist and it ain't hard to see it when you meet them, go into their establishments or have to interact with some of them.
It's brain washing at its finest.
They all are a mixture of races (Black, native indian and europeans) that happen to speak the language of their colonizers.
But they rather identify and want to be more like their colonizers. (White spaniards)
Hilarious.
Why would I want to be like my former oppressor.
I am from Mexico.
And yes there is such a thing as not getting together with a dark man, to bad for my family i love black more than any other.
I like black chics but they dont seem to like me. Maybe its because I'm Latino 👋😂
Some of us love Latino men!
@@idontshoplift1 I like sista like you too
wish youd just stick to your own lol thx

Well hell look how black men are yall scared of dating Black women so whats the damn difference.

It was in Ny in the 90's when i camed to America.Even the 70's according to my cousins that when to high school in the U.s.

Such a beautiful conscious Black Goddess. I love her. Keep educating ignorance Sis🌹👑
Wait wait wait.. there are plenty of Africans that are solely Africans and have the same futures she has.. and I’m not talking about my Ethiopian or Somalian brothers and sisters
Africans are very very diverse

Themis Vespucci lol tom has a point though but Africa is on the come up the world will know about her from her children not Europeans
Cool guy 101, Yes, Africa is a very diverse continent. Unfortunately the minds of many have been poisoned.
Cool guy 101 ur sooo right. u have people from sudan, kenya, egypt and mali that have amara's feature and they aint "mixed". and u have tribes from south africa, namibia and parts of nigeria that are naturally light skinned but aren't "mixed".... racism is crap because the human race started in africa/ africa is a VERY diverse continent. boy them white folks sure did a number on us.
i heard that west africans have big lips and noses and east africans have small lips and noses
This is true in Latin America and South America. That's how Brazil was to solve its race "problem", through intermarriage. As you can see there are still Blacks all over South America. And if you study these countries, you'll find that most Blacks (economically) at still on the bottom. The same thing is true in India. This colorism was established during colonial rule. This whole scenario reflects the people in power. They set it up that way. And as long as Whites rule, it ain't going away.
Sheri Townsend True well they have a choice but most side with those who have upper hand
Indians Did 7-Eleven I respectfully disagree. Not ALL blacks are doing bad. Unconscious Bias and Systemic Racism will have you believe that is a Fact. Celebrating and embracing our differences is a beautiful thing; however, tearing someone down (not saying you did this) based on the color of their skin is prejudice and unproductive
