It’s funny how Charlemagne was so attentive in Cardi B’s interview but when it comes to Amara La Negra, he’s dismissive to what she’s saying. Fake woke
Katherine Grace he's probably attracted to cardi b or something . Fake woke for sure
Katherine Grace cardI b transgender 2
Good point.
He feels that way because u never heard cardi b complaining like her and she had it worse her teeth was messed up she Rachet and Dominican plus this girl looks better then cardi b
Char da god stay doing that.He be scared of certain people and just shitts on the 1s he feel are under him
I’m not even Afro-Latina and this interview had me aggravated. I applaud the artist for being as respectful and classy as she can. It must be annoying trying to prove yourself constantly
Dae Creates exactly..shes beautiful inside and out
So true!
She is SO EXTREMELY patient..
You have to be to make it through an interview on this show. Smfh.
Honestly, too patient and too nice for the way they're treating her. They're not listening to her at all
Black men use to be so educated like Muhammad Ali... A boxer second to a real educated black man
i would’ve lost it after he said “you sure it’s not in your mind” 😩🙄 21:05
She should have brought TWO ASSHATS for them to wear.
Black American men trying to pretend that they don't see her struggle. 🤦🏽🤦🏻
I feel like this is the case way to often
@@chanellebooysen9570 it is called giving a person the platform to tell their own story without interruption. They are also trying to understand the dynamics in the Latin American region cause they aren't exposed to that environment. Not that they are ignorant of the issues, but because the media has not taken the time to shine the light on the struggles of Afro-Latinas in the Latin-American region. They are well versed with the struggles of black people in in Africa cause it was brought to them by the media.

The ignorance of Charlemagne and Envy made this hard to watch.
JOmega2007 Try this expanding our mind to understanding where they’re coming from as hard as we possibly can as hard as we possibly can
JOmega2007 it really did I was frustrated to tears
I too am disappointed.
I think they are doing it on purpose to make people realise how ignorant they are asking those type of questions
lilxbwnsuga self donkey alert for them 😔
What blows me is that people don’t know the difference between nationality and ethnicity 🙄
Damn girl
I know lol. And it's simple! (NATION)ality (ETHNIC)ity
Right!
Blissfulblu I love you ... #WAKEUPBLACKPEOPLE
Blissfulblu yes! And I think that’s what ctg and envy had a hard time grasping
Caribbean is literally mixed with so many races and ethnicities .. what’s so hard to understand that the woman is Afro Latina
Rachael James innit 😂😂🤣
Rachael James - exactly she's Latina with black heritage, end of story! Charlamagne just seems like he isn't very smart and he got the position cuz he's pretty not because of anything else...
@@rosiepena8917 No, she is Black (Race) African in a latin culture. Latino isn't a race.
@@ld8178 yes she is black but also mixed like majority of Dominicans
The thing is nobody hs educated us bout that u know now that she hs explained it I get it. Z a
Yall truly disrespected her, Im tired of yall picking and choosing who you gonna respect for interviews
Why is it so hard to understand? Afro-American , Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latino. Same slave ship. Different Stop.
jamie jarvis so trueeee!
Exactly. Less than 20% of the slave trade went to the US.
facts
Exactly!!
jamie jarvis
That’s that nigga mentality we be on👍🏾
She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Seriously
Xavier Jackson Aaliyah was to me now Amara is
I feel the same way. She just needs to take the eye contacts out and embrace her eye color
Da'Naisa Love. Those are her natural eyes
Summah Skarz I doubt it
SagaciousNihilist You seem so hurt that you came on a black person’s interview to bash black people. You must love us that much
Black=Race
Dominican=Nationality
Spanish=language(also a country )
Latina=Ethnicity
Latina =Culture
Human=Species
Culture, race and nationality are all a type of ethnicity.
Black is not a race
Delvinthedude thank you I always have to explain this to people
@@elsharaawy8662 your completely wrong but ok
Why does there have to be categories
Wow I'm surprised that a black man in America does not relate to the struggles of an Afro latina. Just wow! Whew, the denial...
Black man in American don't relate to the struggles of black women period be they American or Latina.
Exactly! I'm dumbfounded.
@@serpentserpent9308 teach them!
Pattie Bell bitter much? sorry he hurt you.
@@pattiebell3657 It's so sad how African American men act like they are immune to the problems of the black race.
I like how Amara handled herself. I dont think the guys treated her with much respect.
Chauntihanna Fawaz they act like they never saw a beautiful womam who is Proud of her color!
They hardly ever treat women that come on their show with respect.
Agreed
That woman always handles herself well. I mean literally the first time we see her she’s faced with discrimination by Hollywood and I loved how she handled it.
Her confidence is intimidating.so they feel threatened .. Love her
Props to Amara for handling herself well among two male knuckleheads.
Props to Angela for maintaining professionalism.
Because I swear these all american people just don't understand Caribbean and Latino culture.
PumpkinEskobarr not all. These two are just ignorant as all hell.
I really like the show but this did tarnish how I felt about them but more reason to educate I suppose. I truly don't think they understood which is the true definition of ignorance but also a lack of trying. I'm Black American and I was sooooo excited to go to Cartagena, Colombia and see my people. Like people walking up to me and speaking Spanish because we all looked the same. It was beautiful.
PumpkinEskobarr were not all that stupid some folks act childish. Its not hard to understand.
When he asked what is she race wise I want him to know the real God in heaven had a laugh.
Race and ethnicity is different she's black just like him, her ethnicity is dominican.
No we're not all this stupid and I'm surprised he asked such a stupid question being from new york.
@Pumpkin -- That's bullshit. Most Black Americans DEFINITELY understand there is racism in Caribbean / Latino Culture. Just look at the comments on here. (btw, I'm a Black Man from LA). Everybody, including me, is just extremely surprised that THESE TWO dudes are so fucking ignorant on this. But don't put us ALL in that box, cuzz that's not true at all.
So stay there.
Her dark skin is so pretty I wish i had beautiful dark skin like hers
Me too😭😭
I have dark skin on my cock
@@mikelarry9779 lol wtf
Mike Larry wtf
Mike Larry What the hell bro
Cardi wouldn’t have been popular if she was dark skin. Point. Blank. Period.
Well said 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Kiara Love Carter - Amara's point is that colorism and racism in Latin America is a lot worse than it is in America. So even if Cardi B was darker, she still would have been accepted in America but she would have never been accepted in Latin American entertainment industry, even being just a little Afro-Latino.
Rosie Pena true
THAT PART
@No Name
But her ratchetness was only acceptable, because she's lightskin. Amara could never blow up like Cardi by doing those ratchet Instagram videos and acting like her on LHHNY.
Why do I feel Angela is the only one who researches the people before they come on the show
Devon B she is. The other two are the comedic relief
Devon B because she is! People try to discredit her but she is the only one that doesn't disrespect the guest.
And that’s why she’s there. People always comment that she’s boring but for those of us who appreciate someone knowing what they’re talking about...she adds that balance.
Bruh whey you steal my government 😂😂😂😂
CTG researches on air
Charlamagne gets DONKEY of the year for this interview😕🤦🏽♀️😒
How about Donkey of the World?
The1&OnlyKiaFOH Plus Kate That sounds sexual...
The1&OnlyKiaFOH Plus Kate 💯💯💯
The1&OnlyKiaFOH Plus Kate yeesss agreed. He irritated me
"I thought you were black until I heard you speak." Wooooow! That was so ignorant! Dominican is her nationality not her ethnicity!
I have a friend from Dominic Republic. She's beatiful as this lady with grey light eyes.
i get that all the time.
DJ envy so dumb ,I swear .
M L they are contacts
The dumbest talk show on the planet
Amara La Negra is way more articulate than Cardi B. She has a point about colorism in the entertainment industry.
Amara didn't sell her soul completely
She would be a beautiful model for Fenty Beauty
Butterflii Kisses
Oh yes!
She'd be a beeeeautiful model, period.
HoodAzzGoddess Of-Light Yes she would!
Butterflii Kisses yes!!! 😍😍😍
That's a great idea ❤❤❤
I'm so sick of her , we are not trying to have a long drown conversation about who are what she is O K you a dark skinned women ........ Go for it win that all WIN. YOU ARE MAKING ME SICK WITH YOUR BIG MOUTH JUST .......... WIN
They were rude but she handled this interview well
A DOT Johnson yes she really did
How do these people live in New York City and not know what it means to be Afro-Latino??? I'm so confused.
Charlemagne is from South Carolina so maybe that explains his ignorance not being around AfroLatinos. Envy though idk what's up with him
Dumb people think Latinas are strictly white, cause JLO, Shakira and Sofia Vergara are the stereotypical face of Latinas, aka, white Latinas. The media tries excluding the existence of black Latinas altogether, like Amara, Joseline Hernandez, Zoe Saldana, Juju Castenada, Lala Anthony, etc.
@@xiamariansupreme72 Jlo, Shakira and Sofía Vergara are not white, the are mixe or mestizas
@@Alvaricokemaureira
😑 They're WHITE.
@@Alvaricokemaureira
JLO is a white Puerto Rican, Shakira is a white Lebanese/Colombian and Sofia is a white Colombian. Get your facts straight. Cardi B is a mestizo Latina. Know the difference and be quiet next time. 🤦
People need to travel
You don’t even have to travel, he’ll read. I first learned of Afro Latinas from reading a book when I was 12.
Cris S lmao
yes, and ppl need to learn something about different cultures when travel... so sad the ignorance os the guy.... OMG he really thinks that only there are black ppl in US?? hahahahahaaha
@@begonapinilla1716 I will not travel. Black people are hated around the globe.
The level of ignorance of the hosts infuriates me!
juvenal diaz same
AGREE 💯
Me too it's embarrassing and they could have called out all Latin America for what it is RACIST.
They want rating so bad and what the hell is envy his funny looking ass need to figure out what the hell he is
Don't watch it then
Disappointed with how CTG handled this interview. He showed wayyyyyyy more interest in guests like Berniece Burgos who don’t do anything, but really couldn’t have cared any less to properly interview someone like Amara who’s using her platform for an important issue. Shame.
So true. These times are messed up. Ratchet Strippers and Instagram thots are praised over talent and class. I'm fking done🤦🏾♀️
Very much a shame...
FACTS!
WORD!!!
Loaded Leo Same here!
I was gonna comment on how I felt about this interview but I read the comments and everyone else already covered it lmfao.
Why was Charlamagne disrespectful with her? He looked at her like she's crazy and as usual they are extremely messy bringing Cardi B....they are looking at her like she's crazy. She's right though minorities are going thru colorism. Hispanics, Black, Indians, Asians etc. They are still colonized and enslaved by the European standards.
Charlamagne's got two black daughters. If he thinks black women don't really have to deal with skin shade issues, he's in for a rude awakening within the next couple years of his daughters' lives.
This part, this is the same thing I said! The fact that he has two black daughters and displayed such ignorance in this interview is lame and sorry.
Yep
smell your upper lip
The only difference between her and African Americans is that her ancestors from Africa were brought to South America as slaves instead of North America. So her ancestors adopted Spanish instead of English as their language. It's not that hard to understand.
Katrina White 💯💯👌
Katrina White you nut-shelled that the best that I've heard. God's blessings!!
Katrina White sis that's not entirely true. That slave trade story that they have been teaching us for hundreds of years is not ENTIRELY TRUE. Black people have been in every part of this plant for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Yes some of our brothers and sisters from the mother continent was kidnapped and brought to other countries but only a few hundred thousand not the hundreds of millions that they have been lying about. So we have to understand that we are the original people of this entire planet and all other shades of people came after. Peace and love to you sis.💜
ummm correction Caribbean w
Thank You!! You know I honestly feel like ppl are just jealous and hating because they have nothing special going on about themselves so they wanna be ignorant towards someone else who has a life of influence.
She's the most beautiful black woman I've ever seen!!!
Why you had to say “black”. Just let her be beautiful
abigail villeda-ramirez No she’s basically limiting her beauty by saying “black”. That’s actually offensive. Nobody talks that way about white girls
abigail villeda-ramirez Nope it’s just like saying you’re pretty for a black girl. To say “a black girl” is like saying she only has a limited amount of beauty. Imagine hearing you’re pretty for a white girl
abigail villeda-ramirez You must be white so you won’t understand. You’re probably a damn racist too
abigail villeda-ramirez Well for a 13 year old if you agree with her comment you are pretty stupid. She’s beautiful period no need to add shade. When you categorize people based on skin tone that lets you know racism is still alive. A beautiful person is beautiful no matter what race you are. You’re too dumb to understand though. Take care dummy
DJ Envy and Charlemagne treated her so poorly. "why all Dominicans act like Cardi B??" 5 seconds arriving, "what are you??" How can they be so ignorant? Keep asking the same questions over and over shows they were unbothered to even listen to her responses. Two grown ass men, one who wrote a book and both interviewed many entertainers but never heard or can't understand the issues of colorism and beauty standards among women in the entertainment industry. or rather think it is all in her head cause there is a Issa Rae and a Sza (only can name just 2)? Don't understand that there is an American market and a Latino market of music and she is trying to break in the American market to be worldwide. The point was not who is Young Hollywood and that his comments doesn't matter cause he is a nobody. The point was his comments echoes what the entertainment industry as a whole have been telling her and other dark skin Latinas for years. How can it be about if the music is great then it don't matter and then say Cardi B is America's sweetheart when she don't write her own lyrics or mix her own sound and is being carried all the way. What is the difference between Cardi B. and the internet Cash Me Outside girl (Bhad Bhabie)?? Really??? Hell Cardi B. can't even write her own tweets. Light skin ratchness will always win over a poise dark skin female human being is what DJ Envy and Charlemagne was serving in this interview. it was disgusting. I only watched this to see Amara La Negra speak her truth. And she did her thing despite them two assholes talking down to her. Keep doing you, Amara!
I’m from Miami and Latinos who look white or who are lighter skin act like they are better than blacks. So what she saying is true 💯💯💯 colorism is real in the black and Latino community
P Chantel don’t generalize because you don’t know all white Latinos. That’s like me saying all darker skin ppl are ghetto or ratchet. Wrong to say.
Sasha Victoria the majority of white and light skin latino/a think there better then black people. When the earthquake in Haiti hit, these Dominican chicks from my high school were talking sooo much shit about Haitians. Because I was light skin with a long straight weave, they assumed I was Dominican. I stood there and listen to them speak because I wanted to hear the hatred. They said things like the Haitians deserved what they got. The earthquake should of killed all of the Haitians on the island, I don’t know why the Dominicans won’t just kick them off the island and other horrific shit. Me being a light skin Haitian looked at these bitches like they had three heads and told them I was from Haiti. The looked like they seen a ghost and continued to say I’m sorry. I told them no you not sorry, you just sorry that you said some fucked up shit in front of the wrong person and this is just one instance of the disrespect I’ve gotten and I’ve heard with my own ears on how Latino/a feel about black people.
Sasha Victoria I understand that you may not feel this way about darkskin people but the majority of Latino/a do. The proof is all over Spanish networks. On telemundo you barely see women who look like Amara La Negra. You see women my color or lighter to represent Latin America and other Spanish speaking countries.
Emilee Gourdet sweetheart they are in high school! But for you to think every light skin person who is Latino thinks that way is ignorant!! I’ve encountered racism from every culture. But i don’t go around saying the MAJORITY just because Of the encounters I’ve had. I don’t know how old you are but I’m 30 and that’s like saying bc i live in a white town all white ppl
Are racist... or bc I’ve been robbed by black ppl that they all steal. That was very wrong and ignorant for them to say.. Just please don’t give in to the hate and continue it. Also Haiti enslaved Dominicans for 22 years as well. There is a lot of back and forth with the country but Dominicans were the first ones in Haiti during the earth quake and the last ones out. So please don’t hate Dominicans just bc you heard ignorant people speak! That’s ludicrous.
Emilee Gourdet the Latin community does have issues with representation of darker complexion but it’s a world issue. Not just in the Latin community. We are even talking about in America, China, Korea and India to name a few.
Thumb up if you like Amara, but dislike this interview
Mike Burton are you the guy that was next to Envy?
It was so disappointing and I like her so much. It was painful to watch the guys treat her like that, it exemplified the struggle she's talking about. When he asked can you simplify it she could have said 'it's being treated like how you are treating me right now in this interview'. She's amazing and her emotional beatings are making her stronger and more beautiful.
Mike Burton - Charlemagne's stupid questions ruined the interview
@@zahararay5611 they do it to gaslight their guests for a reaction but it backfires on them when they come across rare ppl like amara who stay shining... these types of interviews just make their guests look good and the hosts look like gutter trash aha
I can’t stand this interview why are they so popular
The fact that she has repeated herself more than once shows they don't give a damn about what she's saying. It is not hard to understand what she is saying.
Black people are born with blue, green, hazel, amber, and gray eyes too. My daughter and one of my cousins were born with blue eyes, but they changed to green. Another cousin of mine has green eyes too, and my maternal grandmother had bluish-gray eyes. Moreover, my father's paternal family all had green eyes. Not all Black people wear color contacts.
You got strong white ancestry then...
@@ogcconstrictors6713 Unfortunately, I do. 🥺😥😢 I have one grandparent who was Black, Asian (Indian), and Native American (Cherokee). One grandparent who was Black, Native American (Choctaw), and European (British Subject). One grandparent who was African, Native American (Taino), and European (España). Moreover, one grandparent who was European (British). Even I was born with blonde hair, but it grew in reddish-brown and I grew up to look like a proud strong Black girl! Thank GOD for the Sun because I love Sunbathing and getting even darker! 🌞😎👩🏽😉☀
@ATL 1 have you seen her as a child?
@ATL 1 have you seen her eyes as a child in person? Better yet, since children's eye color do change, have you met her in person as a child and as an adult?
@ATL 1 That's what I thought! You have never met her in person. She used to perform on Sábado Gigante here in South Florida when she was a kids. She also grew up in Hialeah, Florida where my friends and my ex husband are from, which is where I often hung out. She has natural green eyes that sometimes appear grey. Photos and videos don't always show people's natural eye colors due to lighting, background, what the person is wearing, and certain flash.
I’m convinced DJ Envy is not from New York. How you from NY and not know what a Afro Latina is.
Winston W
On the Origins of “Dominican”
The first recorded use of the word "Dominican" is found in a letter written by King Phillip IV of Spain in 1625 to the inhabitants of the Spanish colony of Hispaniola. In this letter, which was written before the arrival of French settlers on the Western side of the island, the King congratulates the "Dominicans" for their heroic efforts in defending the territory from an attack by the Dutch fleet. The term or demonym ("gentilicio") "Dominican" was used in reference to the Dominican Order - after their patron Saint Dominic - which had been a key institution and element in shaping the island's post-Columbian religious and civic identity for over a century. This letter can be found today in the "Archivo General de Indias" in Seville, Spain....
That is what I was thinking.
For real
Winston W I think he’s playing dumb like he does quite often. He didn’t need to this time because Charlemagne played it well.
Charlamagne sounds so ignorant. She is a black woman who's ancestors were stolen from Africa to DR (hence the Latin culture). Her struggle is the same as everyone else in the diaspora, why is that so hard to understand/reconize????
Monel R this. Envy acting like he’s seen a alien “your not black and you don’t want to be Puerto Rican”. Wonder what he think Brazilians are.. Puerto Rican?
Stolen from Africa? You need to learn history, that whole thing was a lie we black ppl have been here in the America's before whites discovered America. If you look up the etymology of the name American by its definition it's the copper color races of north south central America, this was in dictionaries before it was changed, so technically only blk ppl can only be American.
Yes an fucking fact
khalil williams stfu
Very ignorant
Btw she is Beautiful and her complexion and fro is 🔥🔥🔥 #MelaninPower
Agreed ♥
HER LOOK IS THE BOMB.. SHE HAS IT ALL IN THE LOOKS CATEGORY HANDS DOWN!
Rihanna has green eyes. From the comments you can tell alot of the fans do not appreciate the ignorance on colourism in this interview.
First of all, She's GORGEOUS! 😍😍😍 I can't get over how stunningly beautiful she is.
50_Shades_Of_Me yes lord!
50_Shades_Of_Me she REALLY is
50_Shades_Of_Me I can’t get over how pretty you are
I with you. I'm like shawty is fly! I love the way she rocks her chocolate💯👌👍
She is hands down the most beautiful woman ive ever seen.
She is literally the female version of Idris Elba.
Amara is wayyyyy prettier than cardi b
And she didn't have to be stripper either.
ibox107. I agree, even though i love all shapes and shades of women, dark chocolate is just my favorite, hmmmm😊
Waaaaaaaay
Every female is prettier than shardi b
ibox107 Had no idea this was even a question. DUH!!!
The fact that Charlamagne and Envy acted like they didn’t understand colorism is soooo frustrating SMH 🤦🏾♀️
This man said you gotta have some type of talent nowadays... explain Kim Kardashian then.
Marketing, branding, investing, ect....
Angela Yee was the bright spot in this interview. She respected the guest and tried to educate her co-hosts. Envy and Charlamagne refused to be educated.
afrocentricsoul ahah no they were all terrible, all talkin at the same time. I really think Angela is bad for the job. she just ain't that outspoken enough, always gettin talked over with them
That's because she's not big like Cardi b if she blows up big then they would pay attention I'm sure.
How can a grown ass black man look straight into the eyes of black sister and ask her "what is she?". On top of that he has the audacity to ask her if she thinks its all in her mind...... The master taught him well!
raph muk smh he deserves Donkey of the day
Green Light amen!!!
lol lol lol
The first question was an interviewers question to get her on the topic because this is something she talks about. He could have been more tactful but CTG is not really known for that. Lol
not at all
"I thought you were black until i heard you speak" 😬
And after she done already explained that she's black too!!
Smh, what's so hard to understand that she's black and just speaks Spanish, because her NATIONALITY is Dominican!!
@@josephblanchard6248 FACTS!!!!! Dark skinned women need to be more appreciated. Im dark skinned from African decent , but im hispanic too and in El Salvador im always getting critized and/or getting dirty looks from lighter skinned Salvadorians and trust me!!!, it is SOOOOOO uncomfortable... Like damn leave darker skin tones ALONE!!!!
@@naturallycurlynicole4419 So you just assume they're giving you dirty looks because your skin is darker? It sounds like you're projecting your own shallow beliefs on to other people.
@@skip031890 NO NIGGA !!!! THEY ACTUALLY *WERE* GIVING ME DIRTY ASS LOOKS CUS I WAS DARKER!! A GROUP OF GIRLS CAME AND SAID IT TO MY DAMN FACE SO HOW BOUT BEFORE U SAY SHIT AND COMMENT, YOU ASK ME OF WHAT U ARE CONCERNED ABOUT INSTEAD OF MAKING URSELF LOOK STUPID. GOODBYE!
@ATL 1 It's like me, I am raised in Atlanta but I will always be a Nigerian. I speak my language which is the Igbo language as her's is Spanish. I'm sure you were taught the different ways of attaining citizenship right by birth, blood ties, marriage and honorary too. She's American by birth and a latina by blood ties. I'm an American by birth and a Nigerian by blood ties because that's where my family comes from because essentially like other Asians, Africans and Latinos, our parents are immigrants.It's really not that difficult. And I SINCERELY urge to not say anything stupid because I was crystal clear.
"What race are you"
-Charlamagne
Why is Charlamagne bleaching his awareness
randy wynglass 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
randy wynglass your comment is almost as good as your last name. 🍷 🤣🤣
randy wynglass 😭😭😭😭
randy wynglass 😂
She is dope af. She got through the ignorance of the interview with grace and still came off as fun. I like her.
The Breakfast club either have hit interviews or misses. It's never a medium with these guys and this was a tragic miss. Yikes. Amara did an excellent and respectable job as a guest on this host mess of a show.
They way I understand Afro-latina is the difference between race and ethnicity. So if you’re African American, your race is African but you live in America so that’s the place where you’re from and you live which is your ethnicity. But amara is afro Latina so her race is African but her ethnicity is Dominican(the place where she is from)
Jasmine Calwell pretty much
jose batista are u Afro Latino??
Jasmine Calwell well I’m Dominican and as U can see I am of black race but I guess my heritage is mostly of mixed race since my grandpa was white
White dominican*
Jasmine Calwell exactly
Shout out to Angela Yeeh, for showing her love.
The ignorance and disrespect displayed towards her (with the exception of Angela) was unfathomable. She is a gorgeous woman and handle this interview very well.
Tastefully Gaudy 🙌🏾
Tastefully Gaudy I’m embarrassed for them
I love you Amara La Negra your energy is so positive, smart, and gorgeous. Keep doing what your doing. Love you
I think shes the new level of beauty. The standards just got corrected with her.
I'm glad to see, that most of the people in the comment section are calling Charlemagne and DJ envy out on their bullshit!
So much bullshit
I'm disappointed in the fact that Envy and Charlamagne can not grasp the fact that racism and colorism is not solely an American issue; that it is a global issue. They both have the privilege to travel and experience the world or even read a damn book, and yet they are still completely ignorant to other cultures.
np472 I was going to write a comment similar to that. Thank you for writing this!
re: "they are still completely ignorant to other cultures." it's an act. cultural ignorance is all but IMPOSSIBLE for anyone residing in or repping NYC.
"What are you?" 😕😕😕got me like 😯😯😯
So disrespectful...his ignorance never ceases to amaze me.
I truly believe in her. Here in Africa we're super fun of Novelas but it's hardly you can see a black person
Amara La Negra deserves to be a role model. We need to be vocal and support her!
i agree
How is Charlamagne and DJ Envy this ignorant???
I'm not even Latino and I know the long history of racism towards Afro Latinos. Do these men ever go outside? lol
blackezi3 they have the luxury brah. They have their own group of friends. Why bother going outside your comfort zone.
Lol. It is so sad and painful it hurts.
blackezi3
They got comfortable at their 105 job. Dame Dash stated it best.
blackezi3 They suffer from self hatred! Don’t they know that the US wasn’t the only country were slavery was at? Slavery was in the Caribbean before the states. Plus the island of Hispaniola, modern day Haiti and Dominican Republic, got there independence first! WTH are they talking about my Aunt is dark skin with blue eyes! 🙄🤦🏿♂️
EXACTLY. ESPECIALLY BEING IN NEW YORK.
She is right we need to have these conversations. I applaud her. I love her energy and yes she is beautiful inside as well as out. You rock afro-latino QUEEN!!!!
Coming up in the 80's I didn't know that Latinos; Cubans, Brazilians, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc were dark. I only knew them as light like Rita Moreno, Rosie Perez, Raul Julia, and Ricky Martin or only as dark as Rosario Dawson or Luis Guzman, That was because TV and especially Latin TV only ever shows the white or light actors. But after I met a jet black man from Brazil I did my research and remembered that yes Africans were enslaved in those countries and their descendants were still there and no they had not been bred out.
What he meant was so obvious he was saying straighten your hair. Hide your African
“i thought you were black until i heard you speak” LMAO so after her saying that she IS BLACK and is of AFRICAN DECENT but just happens to be dominican, Envy is still not comprehending that Hispanic is not a race, it’s an ethnicity 💀💀💀
She doesnt "happen" to be Dominican. She is Dominican. Dominican is a nationality, ethnicity not a race. Anyone born in that country takes on that ethnicity.
Jackson Angel well she just so happens to be Dominican
Marina Dominicana Pérez Dominican is not a race😂🤦🏾♀️ Got damn.
These people are cra. The Spanish Conquistadors from Spain came through; colonized Caribbean and colonized south America. Specifically Dominican republic, Venezuela, Nicaragua. They are Africans that speak Spanish. Afro Latin is a way to separate from Americans. Same struggle. Bs.
Diem Pardon ethnicity and nationality are not the same but two different things.
Don’t know who she is but she is GORGEOUS 😍 She’s giving me Pam Grier “Foxy Brown” vibezzz.
i been said that about Foxy
yea she is.. and her music is lit.
Yes she do scream Pam Grier
SlowClass Kai I was thinking the same thing
SlowClass Kai Yessssss all the way ❤️❤️
Shes like a young Celia Cruz. very pretty
Azucarrrr!!
They were so ignorant to her, Charalamagne the Devil did the most. She is beautiful and strong. They are so ignorant, much
respect to la Amara de Negra for completing the interview. I would have said excuse me and bounced.
love how you didn't call him god.. such a blasphemy from him
Whats so hard about understanding afro latino? its so easy African descent people came to all parts of the Americas, from brazil to Canada to the Caribbean to the U.S. Dominican republic is a country not a race, in every country there are different races. Brazil has the second biggest population of Afro-descent people out side of Africa (Nigeria). Love you queen!
Afric Network they act like its a brand new race that fee from another planet
Afric Network THANK YOU! Read a freaking book smh. 👌🏿
Most of us were never taught that tbh. I still struggle to recognize afro _____. It's confusing for me
Afric Network Brazil is the first
I know, like yo read, talk to people its crazy how some of us in america only care about afro people in america and maybe some in the motherland Africa...its really not that hard, unless you get sunk into this narrative in america.
"Colorism is in ur head", says the dude who bleached his face!
Kenesha Glover this should be the top comment. It really should. Hipocricy at its finest.
She too real for them! We seem to forget where we came from, we can go back to the struggle in an instance!
Please have her back! Apologize to her and the way the men treated her!
How do people not understand that the slave trade went through Latin America? There's a HUGE black population in Latin America. Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, Peru, Dominican Republic, etc. Cardi B, Celia Cruz, Zoe Saldana are Afro Latina, too.
Lennon The Bunny exactly Brazil was one of the countries with the most slaves
Exactly they need to educate themselves they come off so ignorant
They don’t understand because slavery was white washed tremendously when taught to Americans including black Americans. But those in the know, are aware that Brazil outside of Africa has the largest African population on this hemisphere. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Panama, etc. huge black communities
Lennon The Bunny people are super ignorant. Its crazy
Americans lol. Jamaica was once Spanish as well before we became English. Ignorance is a bliss love.
The ignorance in this interview is disappointing & appalling. She's such a beauty inside and out. She deserved a better interview. Charlemagne......expected more from you and Envy....you thought she was black until she spoke? Come on sir.
Melissa Johnson I agree..
Horrible interview all the way around. She deserved better. *smh*
Melissa Johnson
On the Origins of “Dominican”
The first recorded use of the word "Dominican" is found in a letter written by King Phillip IV of Spain in 1625 to the inhabitants of the Spanish colony of Hispaniola. In this letter, which was written before the arrival of French settlers on the Western side of the island, the King congratulates the "Dominicans" for their heroic efforts in defending the territory from an attack by the Dutch fleet. The term or demonym ("gentilicio") "Dominican" was used in reference to the Dominican Order - after their patron Saint Dominic - which had been a key institution and element in shaping the island's post-Columbian religious and civic identity for over a century. This letter can be found today in the "Archivo General de Indias" in Seville, Spain....
Melissa Johnson How can any of them be pro black and not understand what an afro latino is ?????? Smh how could they be so unaware of the struggles in the latin community i feel like they just be fronting now they dont get her at all and its annoying to see such ignorance they not even taking her serious but want ppl to take us serious...they keep covering her communities struggles with the black struggle
Charlemagne is a fake woke jacksss, and Envy is an idiot. I expected this from them
She so beautiful that she can do part 2 on any movies Pam Grier did.
Daniel Jeffcoat - yep I was just thinking she looks a lot like Pam Grier!
She is gorgeous, I can't stop staring at her...😍
Bob Marley said 'no chains around my feet but I'm not free' with fools like charlamagne these words are still very real for many
jennyincr So TRUE!!! So many people of color walking around enslaved but free.
Facts
Facts 🙌🙌🙌🙌
That is why the black community worldwide is continuing to struggle... other black people who are ignorant and blind or just hypocrites. Amara.. you did well and speak your truth which is my truth as well
Imagine a white woman saying to us “so what exactly is your struggle?” “ I don’t see it” “times have changed” “you sure it’s not in your mind?” We would be angry and hurt...and then we talk about struggle and they throw back, well what about WhoopinGoldberg
Ny Shawn so true and coming from CTG...dissapointing
Ny Shawn I thought the sameee thing...he had a lot of nerve saying that to her...
Ny Shawn AMEN
EXACTLY!!! I was sitting here watching like... Did this nigga really ask her that?! 👀
Ny Shawn
Imagine if black men said that they like Hispanic women
Black women would have a fit
So I'm confused
Is she black or not?
SHE'S GORGEOUS AND HER SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL
Amara is so pretty...I was soooo annoyed with this conversation. It was unfair and disrespectful. I didn't feel like she was embraced. It wasn't hard to understand her. I'm so tired of the bs. This was a dope opportunity to hear the afro Latina's prospective of their experiences within their own communities. Then we could have made comparisons.... what a disappointed. Respect our allies!
❤️
Charlemagne doesn't understand.....she said a million times it's the skin tone....in the Latin market .... Stop mentioning Cardi and Issa Rae
Niko Kma she said Hollywood, and that she’s trying to blow up in the US market...so he was wondering if Hollywood still shows that discrimination, but she meant in the Latino community
And it’s also NOT as if Hollywood isn’t racist. He mentions two BW so in Charlemagne’s mind shit has changed a lot in terms of representation.
nigga playing dumb if ever been to a latin country you will never see dark skinned spainish people in entertainment working at a nice restaurant ect
Niko Kma he not a real nigga in my opinion. Or maybe he just act funny on purpose
Didn't he bleach his skin?
This was dissapointing! As much as Charlamange promotes black excellence, why was it so hard to accept that this is still happening NOW in other cultures? I am glad that Amara was well spoken enough to educate him. She handled herself well. however, this interview was needed for ppl who are unaware of her struggle within the culture.
LadyMs Moody I hear you. Why is Charlemagne acting or being so naive. Honestly, sometimes Charlemagne's comments about race sound like a liberal white girl. Not calling him gay but his responses sound like the words coming out of a white girl's mouth.
Its hard for him to think about the struggle of black people outside of the American perspective. Unfortunately most of us are living in a bubble. He just needs to have more conversations with people like her.
He's a faux intellectual.
Boy Wonder I can see that, but wasn't he talking about how men need to be better and not perpetuate rape culture? Was that all for show?
LadyMs Moody he doesn’t promote black WOMAN excellence.
DAMN he is the most beautifull woman in the world
You mean she
shouldn't this interview focus more on Amara's amazing music
Just because we have a Lupita and a Viola Davis doesn’t mean that colorism no longer exists. Darker skinned people, specifically darker skinned women, are still discriminated against in ALL industries.
Stevie T exactly!!! this interview is annoying me how they trying to act like they don't understand what she's saying😕

Stevie T but folks act like Stevie wonder to it... let somebody say that stuff to a black man and folks wouldn’t be so ‘confused’
yep teller can you stop...
Stevie T Why can't more black men understand this?
Charlamagne didn't want to touch on the subject of colorism because he know it is the very reason why he is supporting Cardi B like she is some rap God.
He's a self-hating DARK SKINNED black man. You can tell by all the bleaching cream he has used!
What does colorism have to do with ctg supporting cardi b?
_dougfunny_ it's because Amari is saying since she is dark she is being discriminated against but CTG tries to compare her to Cardi and Cardi isn't receiving the same backlash because she isn't as dark. So CTG comparing the two doesn't make sense because they're not in the same category of this topic of colorism
@_dougfunny_ Are you really that thick in the head???? He supports her because she is a yellow bone!! Like Kodak Black he doesnt like "black bitches' he only like "yellow hoes"
You nailed it! Hes a self hating POS!
💯 support this women! I’m a Puerto Rican and this my struggle each and every day!
Donkey of the Day goes to Charlamagne tha god for this interview.
Ctg got on my nerves this interview. He knows DAMN WELL colorism still happens in the American market
Hi_ Tamera because he like most black men turn a blind eye to it because they’re the main ones that perpetrate it.
Hi_ Tamera yes he did today
He was being a tool!
Hi_ Tamera remember ctg bleached his skin lol
EXACTLY!!!!!
I'm confused by Charlamagnes confusion lol. Like how can you compare her to Cardi B? Cardi is not even dark skin. She's clearly talking about dark skin struggles. He has really lost touched with reality if he doesn't believe that the U.S. doesn't have colorism issues 😒
ctg has been lost since he bleached his skin lmao
blahblah162005 Its not about being darkskin it's being full black
blahblah162005 cause they both are Dominican
She was talking about being a dark skin black Latina and saying how you don't see people like her on many magazine covers and in movies. Which is why she brought up Jennifer Lopez. Since the industry usually promotes latinas that look like Jennifer. Cardi B has nothing to do with the struggle of a dark skin black latinas. Do you always feel the need to call somebody out of their name because they disagree with you. Shame SMH
CDG and dj envy need to apologize to her for their comments
Beautiful lady ☺
So glad Amara is educating people. Sadly,
Colorism is in the Black and Brown communities.
He's crazy.."Are you sure this isn't in your mind"
Shocked. That came out of his mouth.
Anime - he's not crazy, he's stupid as f*ck!!
Anime - Soooo insulting!!
She explained it numerous times why do they insist on complicating this? It makes a lot of sense and it’s unfortunate she experienced that. I’m glad she’s bringing awareness to it.

Tash B this interview could have been 20 mins
Even in the English speaking world there are no Dark versions of Beyonce, Rihanna or Nicki people love to play dumb
I don't understand why people try so hard to make life complicated. Afrolatino, Africanamerican, etc. She is just black from a latin country period. Just like if you are black American, it's a black person born in the USA or an american of african descent; it's really that simple. I had a dude tell me that I wasn't black, I was just African. That was the most ridiculous thing I've heard and some people who don't know that I am African assume that I am African-american. It's all confusing. First you are black, white, etc then you can claim whatever country or geographical part you want to be associated with, that's it. Of course she can call herself afrolatina which just means that she is a latina of african descent or just a black person from a latin country. I don't see why this is such big news, there are millons of black people in many of the south american countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Brasil, Venezuela , just to name a few.
Sam N Edu Medja well said 👏👏
a lot of continental africans would say they are NOT BLACK. many are now saying yes they are black. the same with so called afro latinos. back in the day they would NEVER say they were black or even afro latino. the use of afro latino is fairly recent like in the last 10 or 15 years if that. a lot still don't say afro or black
I am from Africa and in Africa we have people with gray eyes. It depends on the tribe.
I usually rock with you Char, but you acted REALLY dense in this video. You acted the EXACT same way white people act when black folk talk to them about race. You gotta do better my dude
EXACTLY!!! YOU SAID IT RIGHT Dat.
dat delivery guy that part like i just cant!!!!! Right now!!
He had a great opportunity to show and prove. Proved who he really is. Accepted.
dat delivery guy Exactly!!!
Miss Mo exactly
I rarely comment. Did Charlamagne just ask that woman if being dark skinned and discriminated against is all in her mind? 😐 What. the. entire. hell. Dude, it's not that hard to understand. 👩🏾🏫 There are black people in America, there are black people in Latin countries. In the Latin countries and ESPECIALLY in the entertainment industry those black latin people (who call themselves Afro-Latino) are underrepresented. Have you ever watched Latin television? Show me the black people. Matter-o-fact show me the black people from Latin countries prominent in the American entertainment industry. What in the la la land kinda question is that Charlamagne? Especially as a dark-skinned black man ... you think descrimination based on skin color is all in someone's head. 😐 Then he brings up Cardi B. Sir, Cardi is not dark complexioned. That's like a black American saying there are no black superheroes and you ask "What about Gal Gadot?" 😐 Sir. (I keep updating this comment the more I watch) ... did he just ask what about Issa Rae? 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 A thousand 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 s. LA.TIN. Charlamagne. 😐 At this point I think he's faking this. How Sway?
Charlamagne is an informant, his pro blackness persona is all just an act
glamazini I agree with you. His comments really come from ignorance. I think that he too should just shut up and be educated before speaking cause he just sounds dumb
glamazini relax. He was not saying it in a rude way. He was confusing The American way of thinking to how the Latin way of thinking is. He kept getting stuck on America not how dark skin latins are treated.
quest 34470 don't be stupid. That man is faking it
quest 34470 yes I realized that, but really though? It's hard to believe a black man doesn't get it IJS. Like I said I don't comment much but his line of questioning made my brain hurt.
Amara is GORGEOUS With that puffy hair 😂
Colorism is so real
