For anyone interested in the clip at 3:46, here's the link of the full video th-cam.com/video/Ww8rLp2i90s/w-d-xo.html Unfortunately it's blocked in African countries, which is messed up.
Empressive that's why I do not watch the breakfast club they are dumb and I am too old for a grown man who refers to himself as some sort of god peace love your shows
Empressive the reason why they were dismissive is because she tried to separate the issue into a new category.. Puerto ricans and dominicans are off african descent its the same struggle
They both came across very ignorant. Even though she explained colour bias in the Latin community they still intentionally dismissed everything she said 🤦🏾♀️
Sorry I don't agree with u or her she is black. Just from a different part of the world the only difference from her and African American that she is Dominican... Dominican is your a culture there is no different you're in the same struggle as any black woman.. so what is she trying to say because she's from Dominican Republic it's harder for her to get a acting job in America nobody would know she's from Dominican Republic unless she opens her mouth talk that's the only things we would know if she was different... Dominicans are nothing but Haitians and Spaniards mixing it bothers me when people from other cultures that look like the people that's already here don't went to identify with the people who already is here...
not at all. She was trying to say (and did say) that in the Latin culture they think its cool to wear blackface and diminish black people and their features. They are heavy into colorism, she's not saying she is better than any other black people. But that her struggle is different. They don't have an MLK or a Malcolm X. I thought it was pretty self explanatory
zheahra she didn’t have to explain.The same shift happens on this side of the tracks it’s just the fact that the 2 guys she was trying to explain it to are a part of the problem
Black men cant except color-ism because it would expose that they have been successfully programmed by white supremacy!! They feel like only black women are affected by the white standards because of weave etc however they refuse to see how they're also affected and how they keep racism alive through color-ism in the black community, ITS TRULY SICK!!
They understood her very well, the problem with the breakfast club they have their picks. Their not rocking with her movement so they try to play unintelligent an be manipulative to discredit her.
Keep in mind, they're asking questions in a way to make the conversation more interesting - you can't assume everyone knows who she is, so they're playing dumb, if you will, to give her an opportunity to explain herself as well as play devils advocate...
SBdunks3 no, American white people understand ethnic cleansing. They was like this bitch is trying to break into the black America Market since that Latino shit didn't work out. They wanted her to play a prostitute because of all those half naked videos that she does.
Lordpraisethe Especially Charlamagne..check out his body language. He was totally uncomfortable. Also D.J Envy made a comparison to his self and Charlamagne, if looks could talk all by their selves..He know what it is!!! He is very intelligent, ignorant sometimes but he knows look at him, in comparison to when he first started..While he always calling ppl out. In my opinion he has&had some self esteem skin issues in my opinion. Stop playin!! BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!! LOVE YOUR SELF NO MATTER WHAT ETHIC GROUP YOU COME FROM.GOD MADE YOU AND HE DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES 😊
Ok.. I'm disgusted with the whole thing, the way the country is going right now we need to all be sticking together real talk!! Not trying to tear ANYBODY DOWN. She held hers down. I actually was proud of her!! She came on there to promote her music. I wonder how she really feels about the interview. I tell you she educated many people..Most ppl would of let them have it. I'm going to exclude Angela Yee on this particular interview. She tried to help her explain to the fake and phony couple..I'm sorry they were definitely out of line again, in my opinion. . I would have liked to hear her sing something (Snippets of her music) they were very rude&disrespectful again I am disgusted!!!
chem 123 yeah, this bitch is half naked in at least half a dozen videos. Now she wants to play like she is classy and shit. Bitch couldn't make it in that Latino world but now she wants to creep on to BET. We ain't finna have no BET de portes.
Charlemagne & Envy always hate on brown skinned women. Gabrielle Union, K Michelle, Brandy, etc. They're only nice to the light skinned women who come on their show. So I'm not shocked by this.
Esha Blair She sure is and if you saw a video of them, you couldn’t really see her when they went to Grenada. Someone in the comments said “no wonder CTG cheats on her” Dude you couldn’t even see her but her skin tone! Damn shame! That’s how much self hate these dudes have!
That is so messed up. I have to see the pain in my parents face every time they told me this. Both of my parents are from Puerto Rico and they are both black. This white supremacy must stop.
Cardi B is not black. She’s Hispanic/mixed with a lot of different things. She probably has a little bit of black in her but she doesn’t claim it so neither should we. She not coming to the bbq.
African American (Darker skin in America) is equivalent to Afro Latina (Darker skin in Latin America). This is not hard to understand. DJ Envy and Cthagod were annoying on this interview.
I'm not surprised they did her like that... i'm a strong proud black male and this really pissed me off... there's no room for that level of ignorance on such a platform please Charla give yourself and Envy a donkey of the day for that
The interview was very sad I wish she had went to a different radio station. She was treated like this whole Color thing was all in her head to try to have a story line; but to be honest this is something that is 100% real.
Cozie Lockz I totally believe what your saying but believe that it’s not all of the black Latino that are raise that way. There’s always going to be some bad apples.
They understand the struggle that dark skin women go through they just don't want to admit because they hate black women especially if they are put in the spotlight
She is beyond beautiful. Notice it’s not even her bringing up comparisons as much as it was Envy and CTG. They are such trash. I guess if colorism is in her head, then so is prejudice when they get stopped and frisked.
Natural Fantastic not only that those people are getting roles to represent AA... so real African Americans can't even get roles playing themselves sad
Fumiko Adullaha exactly. The only time I saw Laz playing a Latino was on The Fast and The Furious. The only time I saw an AA playing Latino was on Lackawanna Blues and it was because the guy was born of an AA mother and a Puerto Rican father.
Monica Logan wow which fast and furious was this , there are so many lol I just see how Hollywood is seriously jacked ...we saw the nightmare with the whole Nina Simone , Zaldana .... Dark women never get roles and when there Finally a shot they gave it to a brown skin Latina Woman!!! Do you think those Spanish producers would allow some American actress. To play. Celia Cruz 🤷♀️ This happened a few years back Beyoncé had brought the rights of a Very famous stroy of a South African Slave Sarjiee Baartiman ... she would called by top historians and officials And kindly asked not to play this role Because It wasn't her story to tell! Fourtunalty Beyoncé was respectful enough to back off, she has a lot Of class in my book for doing so
I totally agree, I watch the interview on TH-cam and the way Charlemagne was looking at her piss me the hell off, she a GORGEOUS afro-Latino woman and I couldn't understand what was so hard for Charlemagne and DJ Envy to understand, Angela got it SMFH
I think it's just a general disdain for a generally positive dark skinned black woman that's making it. I see that from many black guys, this pettiness and even cattiness....yes CATTINESS lol from them. They purposely don't want to accept her. Same attitude i've seen from many black men on this issue and just issues towards dark women in general. They were trying to get a reaction out of her. Smh!
Well Charlemagne has a couple of videos out where he praises white women and talks about how he enjoys having sex with them. It's gross but I think he's not into black women as much as white women.
Vladime Young-Sang because she is black and want to separate her self they don't have time for ppl who rather be call afro or Latino please i loved it 😂😂😂😂😂😂🚾🚮
Amara speaks the truth. This has been my observation for years. While in conversation with my grandmother a true fan of Latin soaps, concerning this very matter. She went on to share that women of dark skin are never cast in Latin soaps as lead actresses. Only as slaves, housekeepers, nannies etc...I don't believe the crew clearly understood the point she was attempting to express during her interview. As a Latina of dark skin myself with hair just like Amara, there's discrimination within my own culture against darker complected Latinos seeking to brake into specific professions. She may be viewed as " cute and sexy" yet not "good enough" for elite roles. I can't explain where this way of thinking comes from. It's insane!
They pissed me off this morning!! I have friends who are Afro Latina. How dare you shut down someone else’s struggle?! She was clearly talking about in Latin America. Charlemagne is completely ignorant on this topic. And that’s usually my guy. I was so disappointed.
Pretty Face Ash Dark skinned people are hated on worldwide. Yeah you'll have Lupita Nyongo but there aren't a lot of dark skinned women breaking through. Real talk and real sad.
Are we really surprised? When did y'all hear of Mr. Champagne ever doing proper research or having knowledge about anything other than his own little bubble of Black male rappers? I'm sorry but he's been over to me ever since he first opened his mouth, he's been dismissive, ignorant and straight up disrespectful to too many guests for me to respect him as one of the hosts
YepItsThatGuy he doesn't need to do research in order to play dumb. He lives in NYC and sees blacktinos on a daily basis. Everybody watched the Spanish channel and never seen hardly any blacktinos on there. He is just playing stupid.
Right! He has always been dismissive ob the black struggle. He only recently owned up to what racism. It'll be a long time before he finds his way out of the dark...
I'm over here "surprised" that YOU ALL are surprised. i mean... black men, public figures/celebrities. you're gonna be HARD PRESSED to find those of them who will ACKNOWLEDGE colorism, let alone publicly defend a dark skin woman and FIGHT AGAINST it.
They were deliberately baiting her about Cardi B so people would just dismiss her and say she's just jealous. Just disgusting. I'm glad she didn't touch that and swerved.
Keith David They need some sensitivity training but not to be fired. You sound like an idiot. There is no justification to fire them. Niw if they called her a racial slur then fire them but for simply dismissing her is not worth firing someone over
+Drew Andrews WAIT, did he say 'sensitivity training' for these 'black men'??? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Ummm, no, they need to GROW A PAIR & GROW UP... real simple.
The Breakfast team's behaviour was despicable. They completely dismissed her struggle and message in the same way as some white people say that racism is in our mind. What Charlemagne and his coworkers wanted to infer is that if she does not make it it is because she is not talented enough. Black self hate is real and it is what we need to overcome before adressing white racism.
Michelle R No their points were irrelevant because she was talking about being Black AND Latina. All the examples of black girls Charlemagne mentioned were not black latina
They knew exactly where she was coming from, she is absolutely Stunning, so talented and an Afro Latina. I'm so proud of her for speaking out and so dissapointed at the breakfast club for doing her like that. The actors at the end described in a lot more detail and thank for this video. 👌🏼💞
It's a problem all over the world , if you are dark they treat you badly, now what do we do about it. Do we start dark skin magazines, movies, plays.. what do you do? It will never change the way they treat us, look how pretty she is and that doesn't matter.
What truly matters is how WE treat ourselves as a 'black' race. We have to stop believing 'their' lies about Black people. Enough is enough. Even if they find "black" or "dark skinned" people ugly that is their issue not ours. We begin to have an issue when we BELEIEVE their LIES. We are beautiful GOD MADE US. Wth smh.
Ray Ray : The Awareness Channel Truth of the matter is there are several issues at play 1. Colorism 2. Beauty standards 3. Featurism [if that's a word] Grant it if you are beautiful y have certain types of feature you have few issues I y Amara are the same complexion y im sure she will admit that although she has had discriminatory encounters, overall she will be favored bc she is beautiful.
Ray Ray : The Awareness Channel. IT WILL CHANGE IF YOU STOP SUPPORTING BLACK MEN WHO ARE CELEBRITY... STOP PAY ING TO WATCH THIER, MOVIES, DONT BUY THIER PRODUCTS, STOP STANDING UP FOR THEM!!! Boycott these black men who thinks darkskin is ugly....
Ray Ray : The Awareness Channel yes but we would have our own outlets, away from them. So their opinion wouldn't matter nor would it affect us. Black ppl need to stop thinking that we need the dominant society in order to prosper.
Same brother, they was on there all kinds of tripping. It makes me feel bad that a purchased CDG book “Black Privilege” to see how he handled that interview with her makes me not even want to read it cause I can’t take him serious now.
😒 do you not see how much this is blowing up on all platforms and media outlets ? This not a topic that should be played around with because us as dark skinned people are all in the struggle and can relate to it! Ok? *BOOM*
Eireee17 they conducted a ignorant interview and was disrespectful to her as a women! amara looks like ma'at or some Abyssinian or Egyptian Queen. i have not seen a women with her regal look in a while.
Eireee17 It's not cool, it's like the message she was trying to get across they were trying to sweep under the rug and as black people men they should know exactly what she was talking about. He wants to say what about Sza? Is he serious? He acts like it's still not a problem in the U.S. Are you sure it's not in your head? I wish she would've went more in and made them look and feel real stupid.
Eireee17 - They are doing their job and keeping their jobs at the same time. They know what’s up but they can’t talk about it like that. Read my above comment for needed clarification. Peace. ✌️ 😁
U don’t see a lot of latinas looking like amara in the media, but me being Hispanic I always knew there was Afro Latinos, I’m actually shocked that some people never heard or met someone like amara
In all fairness, Cassandra, how can you be shocked when you admitted that you don't really see them? We know the media works overtime to keep them in the shadows. Most cultures do this. How would someone who's not in the culture think that there are many people who look like Amara?
WarriorGoddess Yaa Asantewaa exactly i just learned about Afro Latinos last year or maybe before that. But i was confused when i first seen them lmao. But i understood what they were. Just black people with Spanish culture. If u put a black person in Cuba then that's the culture they will grow up and adapt too. It may look odd because we don't see it very often, cuz like she said they don't put them in the media.
I'm not surprised Charlemagne and Envy were dismissive. They are colorist themselves. Always making waffle color jokes on the radio show you can tell Charlemagne is very insecure. Plus he bleached his skin so what do you expect?
People don’t accept the fact, JLO, Shakira and Sofia Vegara are all light skin afro latinas. Over here in North America, the lighter skin celebs are still more successful. Yet darker skin celebrities bleach their skin.
I was so proud of the way she handled the interview . They were making me sooooo angry with their ignorant attitude I had to turn the radio off & on! UGGHHH #dominicana
Chile, I thought I was the only one! I didn't make it half way through the interview. When Charlamagne asked was it in her head, I was done. Cause that's the same thing whites say to us when we bring up police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism. They were beyond ignorant. I will never look at either one of them quite the same.
King Me Light skin black? She not black. She is Hispanic or you might say a little mixed. She could have a little bit of black in her but she is not “light skin” she is Hispanic and Latina and from the Bronx lol.
Thanks for having sense Queen! Glad some have enough common sense to understand why afro latinas say we are Latina. It's all about the culture. But of course we look Black
SxyVegan Mom And very condescending, talking about "are you sure it's not all in your mind"?! Wow. That's especially pathetic that they're black too and don't get it.
@Big Daddy Romeo But spanish people do have lightskin they are europeans. A afro latino/latina have dark skin because they have a mixed african heritage. just basic math
You're right there are people of many colors not just in Latin America but in Spain itself. African and Arab blood runs deep in Spain even in the light skin ones.
rite my mother is light skin and I'm dark skin but from a black culture, and we came here to America and people sneaking Spanish to her. why they assume she's Hispanic
The hyprocracy from some of these dark black men is outrageous. If Amara was racially ambiguous like a Cardi B they would accept her. It’s outrageous. It’s not in her mind Charalamagne!!!!!!
Cardi B is not “racially ambiguous.” The bxtch has Afro textured hair and a negroid nose, lips etc. LIGHT SKIN does not equal “ambiguity.” Niggas should’ve never given y’all new terms to use on twitter when all y’all do is throw it around toward women you envy and or resent to dismiss them of their Blkness as if u ever could just for the term to lose its meaning.
Some of the main characters on fresh prince of bel air were afro Latino, most afro latinos have to play african american roles on tv due to colorism. Colorism is also within native american groups to the point of them only being depicted as red skin when many of them were brown skin too
Summers Journey i totally agree, that is how deep colorism is, black african american women are not even promoted in our cultural music or movies unless we are watered down by white traits
Breakfast wants to be for culture but don't understand Amara? Lovelyti2002 addressed darkskins did what cardi b been doing before she was an artist and never got acknowledged
This video really opened my eyes to the struggles that Afro-Latino people have to go thru. I also learned that, for the most part, racism & colorism is even worse in Latin America than it is in the United States.
Diva Dinett * Dealz & More go look at Charlemagne Twitter where he asked who should be donkey of the day. Hundreds of ppl said him and envy for the way they treated amara!
That was a great video Empressive! Charlemagne and DJ Envy need to watch this so that they can get an understanding of what Amara La Negra was trying to explain to them. You just it broke down to the simplest form.
She didn't allow shit to get to her and was focused on her goal. All minorities should ONLY focus on that! Why bitch and complain? That gets people nowhere! Being a minority myself, I don't let those things get in the way.
"racially ambiguous" my ass lmao 😂😂 She looks like any other lightskin black girl walking down the streets of NY. Racially ambiguous is someone like Amber Rose
Ain’t nuttin racially ambiguous about Cardi B. Now Bruno Mars, Rosario Dawson, Sally Richardson, Nicole Sherzinger, and Rita Ora look racially ambiguous.
Empressive I applaud you for speaking up about the colorism that's going on in the world it's so sad that our country is like this when one cannot be accepted as they are as a person than just the color of one's skin
I noticed something....dark skinned american men can be at times dismissive of dark skinned women's struggles against discrimination. I wonder what was so hard to get what she meant. CTG seems smart so i don't understand what was hard to understand what she was saying. It's the equivalent of a black americans saying; I went for the position I am qualified but I get turned down because I am not considered the guy/girl next door (american). What was so hard to understand? Why does she want to be accepted as latina? Do they want to be accepted as american(as black as just because born and raised)? She's saying she does better professionally outside of her country. Like when black americans get asked if they are african by clueless foreigners overseas who can't grasp the concept some americans are black. Sometimes I get the feeling they just want her to ignore what happens to her and just hurry up and get in that sexy bikini. It's all a hot mess. If she played stupid they'd have a problem with that too they need to calm down so she can be herself. Let people speak their truth.
Black men don't want to acknowledge dark skin women's struggle, because they believe women should suffer in silence. They just want women to be quiet and look pretty. We are not suppose to complain about anything. Plus every time we mention colorism it makes them feel guilty about their preference for light skin women. It's just like telling a drug addict that drugs are bad for you. They are going to be dismissive and react very angry.
Nakia Howe, because your complaints of colorism from you females are worthless. like what you said about black mens light skin preference which is bullshit. if anything most of yall are looking for validation from other races of men. thats why you CARE so much. lets be real how many men are you going to have SEX with? You only need one man. Why must every man out there validate or prefer you dark skin females? i see black men with brown, dark and light skin all the time. This is why i say your complaints of colorism are worthless.
Latin people don't want to be associated with black people especially in DR where they celebrate the idea of ethnically cleansing their nation by breeding with whites exclusively. It is worse in America where blacks are considered African immigrants. The popular idea that America is blonde hair blue eyes football and apple pie is very discouraging. At least in Latin countries they consider all the natural citizens Puerto Rican or Cuban or Colombian or Dominican whether black or white. Unlike here where blacks are African Americans and not just American even tho black Jamaicans Brazilians etc are simply Jamaican or Brazilian no prefix or DISCLAIMER. That's honestly why i feel a lot of black Americans don't be wanna hear about "the struggle" from Dominicans and Trinidadians and whoever else bc.. over here when been dealing with the shit
Omg I am so happy she is speaking up on this issue! A couple of years ago I watched this video on TH-cam called “Too Black for Brazil” and I cried so hard afterwards.
I get a kick out of the Breakfast Club, but I think they dropped the ball on this interview....Cthagod and Envy need to share that Donkey of the Day tag....She's a beautiful young lady...wish her all the best
Talunja Scott-Patterson Your response was so intelligent. Too many people are over reacting but you remained level headed. Yes they were insensitive but nothing to justify the anger in a lot of the posts to this video. They are ignorant of her struggle, so what, MOVE ON.
*DJ Envy* “is it true? cause I don’t see that” *CTG* “you sure it’s not in your mind?” I was VERY surprised by their ignorance, lack of compassion and willing to understand. It’s one thing to be ignorant, but have an open mind. They completely dismissed Amara’s point. *Colorism is VERY prevalent in America and other countries as well.* Then to act as if it doesn’t exist in the music industry because a couple of black, dark-skinned artists made it is absurd! Using Cardi B to try and negate the fact that colorism very well exists in the music industry which only further proves Amara’s point in the first place. This was the PERFECT chance to have use their further educate the ignorant upon such an important topic and they failed! *Throw the whole interview & interviewers away* 🤦🏾♀️
I'm glad you made this video and put other people's testimonies in it at the end because I feel a lot of people still don't get it. I had to stop watching that Breakfast Club interview because Envy and especially Charlamagne were acting real ignorant and dismissive. And when Charlamagne said he didn't see and asked her was it all in her head, I thought to myself, isn't that what whites say to us when we claim police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism? They say we're making it up and that they don't see what we're talking about. I don't care how famous I am, I would never go on that show unless those two were gone.
Thank you for this video. Charlemagne can engage in intelligent discussion and critical thought with Envy, Schultz, Umar, Budden, even gays and transgenders etc. but when it comes to women, he falls back on lazy interviews. Asking her if she was sure that colorism is Latin America was not in her mind was disrespectful and if anyone asked him that same question about racism, he'd make sure to shut them down.
Jay Noire that all depends on how the child is raised. Doesn't matter what skin tone the mother is if the mother isn't being a mother if you catch my drift
Really?! I’m surprised 😮 about that one too but I do notice that every time a dark skinned black woman is a guest on his show it seems like to me I could be wrong that for some reason he goes hard on them example Buffy the Body I don’t understand that one...
Excellent job with this video you have done an amazing job pointing out those factors and you should take this video and use it as a feature for this story and apply it to several platforms for more notoriety! Thank you!
God bless Amara!! She is the epitome of grace and good standards!! She will go far because God don't like ugly..what was first will be LAST, and what was LAST will be FIRST!! #GoFigure
Although I didn't like your Monique video, I continue to subscribe because of videos like this and the Mya one! I love how you show and prove what you are saying instead of just throwing things out there. Keep it up. We will continue to pray for Charlamagne the dog and DJ no one is envying you! :)
Whitney Deivory He is not ours, that is an import from the south. Though he’s been here for a while his southern upbringing really comes out especially times like this. Envy’s excuse? Well he has none, unless stupidity is a valid excuse.
This was a great video. I'm glad you included commentary from other celebrities who faced the same thing so that we could understand different perspectives. I hope Charlemagne and Envy will take the time to do the same.
Laney S It's a radio interview. That's what an interview is for TO EXPLAIN YOUR VIEWS, TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS. Of course she has to explain herself she agreed to come on for an interview.
For anyone interested in the clip at 3:46, here's the link of the full video
th-cam.com/video/Ww8rLp2i90s/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately it's blocked in African countries, which is messed up.
Why is it blocked in African Countries?
Empressive that's why I do not watch the breakfast club they are dumb and I am too old for a grown man who refers to himself as some sort of god peace love your shows
Empressive the reason why they were dismissive is because she tried to separate the issue into a new category.. Puerto ricans and dominicans are off african descent its the same struggle
Empressive II
WHAT? Gurl the irony..
They both came across very ignorant. Even though she explained colour bias in the Latin community they still intentionally dismissed everything she said 🤦🏾♀️
monique__91 maybe they just didn’t understand it because it’s not like that in New York where they live
Roy Starr I never heard the term Afro Latina before n they hadn’t either
Nikkimattei why are you stupid if you don’t understand something or have never heard of it before
Panamanian Thing Scene they didn’t do that to Issa Ray
Yeah, they were very ignorant.
😫 lord why they acting like she speaking a new language IT AIN'T HARD TO UNDERSTAND AND SEE WHERE SHE COMING FROM DAMN!!!!!!!!!!
TheFactsAccordingToGabbie1791 for real
Sorry I don't agree with u or her she is black. Just from a different part of the world the only difference from her and African American that she is Dominican... Dominican is your a culture there is no different you're in the same struggle as any black woman.. so what is she trying to say because she's from Dominican Republic it's harder for her to get a acting job in America nobody would know she's from Dominican Republic unless she opens her mouth talk that's the only things we would know if she was different... Dominicans are nothing but Haitians and Spaniards mixing it bothers me when people from other cultures that look like the people that's already here don't went to identify with the people who already is here...
TheFactsAccordingToGabbie1791 I know right it's self explanatory 🤦🏻♂️
not at all. She was trying to say (and did say) that in the Latin culture they think its cool to wear blackface and diminish black people and their features. They are heavy into colorism, she's not saying she is better than any other black people. But that her struggle is different. They don't have an MLK or a Malcolm X. I thought it was pretty self explanatory
Marc JuHeard I think she was saying things that go on in Latin America and DJ envy was trying to brush it off... very ignorant of him and CDG
Damn shame she had to explain it to BLACK ppl. WTH?????
zheahra Yep. Incredible.
zheahra that’s the crazy part of the whole interview
Black folks really gone yo. Most of us at least. Wow
zheahra she didn’t have to explain.The same shift happens on this side of the tracks it’s just the fact that the 2 guys she was trying to explain it to are a part of the problem
Black men cant except color-ism because it would expose that they have been successfully programmed by white supremacy!! They feel like only black women are affected by the white standards because of weave etc however they refuse to see how they're also affected and how they keep racism alive through color-ism in the black community, ITS TRULY SICK!!
They understood her very well, the problem with the breakfast club they have their picks. Their not rocking with her movement so they try to play unintelligent an be manipulative to discredit her.
That's true, I feel like TBC tried to shape the interview into American white peoples views on the matter
I agree with you they just pretend not to know....they just following their prepared scrip to promote the discreditation
Keep in mind, they're asking questions in a way to make the conversation more interesting - you can't assume everyone knows who she is, so they're playing dumb, if you will, to give her an opportunity to explain herself as well as play devils advocate...
SBdunks3 no, American white people understand ethnic cleansing. They was like this bitch is trying to break into the black America Market since that Latino shit didn't work out. They wanted her to play a prostitute because of all those half naked videos that she does.
daveveda20 I agree.
They knew GOOD AND WELL what she was talking about. They were playing dumb. Some Black men dont give a care about our plight.
Lordpraisethe They played dumb because she was Des using guys just like them.Charla ain’t been the same since he bleached his skin
Lordpraisethe
Especially Charlamagne..check out his body language. He was totally uncomfortable. Also D.J Envy made a comparison to his self and Charlamagne, if looks could talk all by their selves..He know what it is!!! He is very intelligent, ignorant sometimes but he knows look at him, in comparison to when he first started..While he always calling ppl out. In my opinion he has&had some self esteem skin issues in my opinion. Stop playin!! BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!! LOVE YOUR SELF NO MATTER WHAT ETHIC GROUP YOU COME FROM.GOD MADE YOU AND HE DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES 😊
Well said!
What irritated me even more was how he compared her struggle to fair complexion latinas!
Ok.. I'm disgusted with the whole thing, the way the country is going right now we need to all be sticking together real talk!! Not trying to tear ANYBODY DOWN. She held hers down. I actually was proud of her!! She came on there to promote her music. I wonder how she really feels about the interview. I tell you she educated many people..Most ppl would of let them have it. I'm going to exclude Angela Yee on this particular interview. She tried to help her explain to the fake and phony couple..I'm sorry they were definitely out of line again, in my opinion.
. I would have liked to hear her sing something (Snippets of her music) they were very rude&disrespectful again I am disgusted!!!
And Donkey of the Day is The Breakfast Club!!!
Donkey of the Year
Courtney Zelenak Day took the Donkey of the year nothing will top this *L*
chem 123 she's afro Latina she just crossed over to the English music smh you most not seen the interview
I just commented the same without seeing yours.
chem 123 yeah, this bitch is half naked in at least half a dozen videos. Now she wants to play like she is classy and shit. Bitch couldn't make it in that Latino world but now she wants to creep on to BET. We ain't finna have no BET de portes.
Charlemagne & Envy always hate on brown skinned women. Gabrielle Union, K Michelle, Brandy, etc. They're only nice to the light skinned women who come on their show. So I'm not shocked by this.
shortywompwomp01 learn to spell
Wynton Mohorn
That's not true.
Drew Andrews Oh, it's very true. Watch their interviews you'll see the difference.
That's the majority of the ENTIRE entertainment industry, look at the videos... smh... 😔
Esha Blair She sure is and if you saw a video of them, you couldn’t really see her when they went to Grenada. Someone in the comments said “no wonder CTG cheats on her” Dude you couldn’t even see her but her skin tone! Damn shame! That’s how much self hate these dudes have!
That is so messed up. I have to see the pain in my parents face every time they told me this. Both of my parents are from Puerto Rico and they are both black. This white supremacy must stop.
Annsyya Jones no y'all must stop being busy and act civilized.
lovelycars1 pathetic devil troll
Amara is DARK SKIN and Cardi B is LIGHT SKIN.....that’s the difference in the two struggles!!!
More specifically, Cardi B is phenotypically mixed. It's not just about her being lighter than Amara.
Cardi B is not black. She’s Hispanic/mixed with a lot of different things. She probably has a little bit of black in her but she doesn’t claim it so neither should we. She not coming to the bbq.
+Shady Tyrell right she's actually Trinidian and Dominican and does not claim it
her African bloodline
Shady Tyrell there are many ambigous light skin african americans that are still called black.
Tewasa Sonko amara is dark *skinned
This woman Amara La Negra is Just plain gorgz.
African American (Darker skin in America) is equivalent to Afro Latina (Darker skin in Latin America). This is not hard to understand. DJ Envy and Cthagod were annoying on this interview.
Amara is saying Darker skin people are treated differently in her country and Latin American countries.
Remi Adejobi finally a comment that explains it all so well to understand 🙋🏻♂️💯
You are making too much sense right now
We are the same people but she speak Spanish ,as the bible we was scatter to the four connor of the whole..Why people do not get that!!!
They trying to act dumb.
I'm not surprised they did her like that... i'm a strong proud black male and this really pissed me off... there's no room for that level of ignorance on such a platform please Charla give yourself and Envy a donkey of the day for that
This TH-cam isn’t for everyone... The way you break it down and do your research... it’s phenomenal! Thanks for the share.
The interview was very sad I wish she had went to a different radio station. She was treated like this whole Color thing was all in her head to try to have a story line; but to be honest this is something that is 100% real.
Omg yes soo true I lost so much respect for the breakfast club
Why she have to she "Black Latino" YOUR BLACK!!
Miss Glennie mejia Over here In the UK, THESE SAME LATINOS ARE RACIST TOWARDS OTHER BLACKS.🤔
Cozie Lockz I totally believe what your saying but believe that it’s not all of the black Latino that are raise that way. There’s always going to be some bad apples.
They understand the struggle that dark skin women go through they just don't want to admit because they hate black women especially if they are put in the spotlight
Charla hates bw because he ain't one .. look at him
lovely diva lol dark skinned women hate being dark they damn self so wtf are you talking about??
Lasean Atkins because we get shat on every single day by our OWN community
She is beyond beautiful. Notice it’s not even her bringing up comparisons as much as it was Envy and CTG. They are such trash. I guess if colorism is in her head, then so is prejudice when they get stopped and frisked.
Wow the actors in that clip aren't even dark skinned. Crazy! Can you imagine how much more difficult it is for people of Amara's complexion?
Natural Fantastic Exactly!!! Its all in her head though lol
Natural Fantastic
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Natural Fantastic not only that those people are getting roles to represent AA... so real African Americans can't even get roles playing themselves sad
Fumiko Adullaha exactly. The only time I saw Laz playing a Latino was on The Fast and The Furious. The only time I saw an AA playing Latino was on Lackawanna Blues and it was because the guy was born of an AA mother and a Puerto Rican father.
Monica Logan wow which fast and furious was this , there are so many lol
I just see how Hollywood is seriously jacked ...we saw the nightmare with the whole Nina Simone , Zaldana ....
Dark women never get roles and when there Finally a shot they gave it to a brown skin Latina Woman!!!
Do you think those Spanish producers would allow some American actress. To play. Celia Cruz 🤷♀️
This happened a few years back
Beyoncé had brought the rights of a
Very famous stroy of a South African Slave Sarjiee Baartiman ... she would called by top historians and officials
And kindly asked not to play this role
Because It wasn't her story to tell!
Fourtunalty Beyoncé was respectful enough to back off, she has a lot
Of class in my book for doing so
Amara is gorgeous asf so what's the deal?
mary janes baby it's like they want to disrespect her because she is an intelligent, beautiful and a dark skinned afro- latina
mary janes baby She's a walking Black n Latino Doll... Just Flawless..
I totally agree, I watch the interview on TH-cam and the way Charlemagne was looking at her piss me the hell off, she a GORGEOUS afro-Latino woman and I couldn't understand what was so hard for Charlemagne and DJ Envy to understand, Angela got it SMFH
Vladime Young-Sang YES!! Lol I thought I was the only one that seen how he looking at her! SMH..
I think it's just a general disdain for a generally positive dark skinned black woman that's making it. I see that from many black guys, this pettiness and even cattiness....yes CATTINESS lol from them. They purposely don't want to accept her. Same attitude i've seen from many black men on this issue and just issues towards dark women in general. They were trying to get a reaction out of her. Smh!
Well Charlemagne has a couple of videos out where he praises white women and talks about how he enjoys having sex with them. It's gross but I think he's not into black women as much as white women.
Vladime Young-Sang because she is black and want to separate her self they don't have time for ppl who rather be call afro or Latino please i loved it 😂😂😂😂😂😂🚾🚮
Jacqueline Victoria you better preach!!!!
Amara speaks the truth. This has been my observation for years. While in conversation with my grandmother a true fan of Latin soaps, concerning this very matter. She went on to share that women of dark skin are never cast in Latin soaps as lead actresses. Only as slaves, housekeepers, nannies etc...I don't believe the crew clearly understood the point she was attempting to express during her interview. As a Latina of dark skin myself with hair just like Amara, there's discrimination within my own culture against darker complected Latinos seeking to brake into specific professions. She may be viewed as " cute and sexy" yet not "good enough" for elite roles. I can't explain where this way of thinking comes from. It's insane!
They pissed me off this morning!! I have friends who are Afro Latina. How dare you shut down someone else’s struggle?! She was clearly talking about in Latin America. Charlemagne is completely ignorant on this topic. And that’s usually my guy. I was so disappointed.
He really is smh
Pretty Face Ash Dark skinned people are hated on worldwide. Yeah you'll have Lupita Nyongo but there aren't a lot of dark skinned women breaking through. Real talk and real sad.
It’s a difference between being ignorant and being an ass
Hes the same with anything other than regular african american. Ignorant to mixed people, ignorant to people in european countries etc
They didn't shut it down. They asked questions they didnt know the answer to. This video is trash. You have to listen to the whole interview
Are we really surprised? When did y'all hear of Mr. Champagne ever doing proper research or having knowledge about anything other than his own little bubble of Black male rappers? I'm sorry but he's been over to me ever since he first opened his mouth, he's been dismissive, ignorant and straight up disrespectful to too many guests for me to respect him as one of the hosts
YepItsThatGuy facts
YepItsThatGuy he doesn't need to do research in order to play dumb. He lives in NYC and sees blacktinos on a daily basis. Everybody watched the Spanish channel and never seen hardly any blacktinos on there. He is just playing stupid.
but if you say something about gays he will be all over you
Charles Smith The gays are a protected group. The Jews and gays run the entertainment industry.
Right! He has always been dismissive ob the black struggle. He only recently owned up to what racism. It'll be a long time before he finds his way out of the dark...
I'm over here "surprised" that YOU ALL are surprised. i mean... black men, public figures/celebrities. you're gonna be HARD PRESSED to find those of them who will ACKNOWLEDGE colorism, let alone publicly defend a dark skin woman and FIGHT AGAINST it.
Real talk!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Lynn W go ask the white man to defend you and stop crying already..
You made a good point
They were deliberately baiting her about Cardi B so people would just dismiss her and say she's just jealous. Just disgusting. I'm glad she didn't touch that and swerved.
Totally agree. Trying to push her button but she's too classy.
Amara is SO goregous. I love her! She's confident as well. I hope she NEVER changes her look.
She is VERY gorgeous!
I hope she doesn’t start bleaching.
Charlamagne and envy needs to be fired
Keith David
They need some sensitivity training but not to be fired. You sound like an idiot. There is no justification to fire them. Niw if they called her a racial slur then fire them but for simply dismissing her is not worth firing someone over
+Drew Andrews WAIT, did he say 'sensitivity training' for these 'black men'??? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Ummm, no, they need to GROW A PAIR & GROW UP... real simple.
Really??? You're not representing yourself well now.
Fired for what? Having a difference of opinion?🤔
Keith David That wouldn't be a wise business decision.
The Breakfast team's behaviour was despicable. They completely dismissed her struggle and message in the same way as some white people say that racism is in our mind. What Charlemagne and his coworkers wanted to infer is that if she does not make it it is because she is not talented enough. Black self hate is real and it is what we need to overcome before adressing white racism.
Michelle R No their points were irrelevant because she was talking about being Black AND Latina. All the examples of black girls Charlemagne mentioned were not black latina
This was really an eye opener with the Latin community
Taytay Randolph how?
Trey Jones cz we need to show other shades not just white
They gave her a hard time ...not cool
MHNbysheterra m. Oh.. Diddy didn't PAY them to act civil with Amara....TBC live by colorism....what you want?
They knew exactly where she was coming from, she is absolutely Stunning, so talented and an Afro Latina. I'm so proud of her for speaking out and so dissapointed at the breakfast club for doing her like that. The actors at the end described in a lot more detail and thank for this video. 👌🏼💞
It's a problem all over the world , if you are dark they treat you badly, now what do we do about it. Do we start dark skin magazines, movies, plays.. what do you do? It will never change the way they treat us, look how pretty she is and that doesn't matter.
What truly matters is how WE treat ourselves as a 'black' race. We have to stop believing 'their' lies about Black people. Enough is enough. Even if they find "black" or "dark skinned" people ugly that is their issue not ours. We begin to have an issue when we BELEIEVE their LIES. We are beautiful GOD MADE US. Wth smh.
Ray Ray : The Awareness Channel Truth of the matter is there are several issues at play
1. Colorism
2. Beauty standards
3. Featurism [if that's a word]
Grant it if you are beautiful y have certain types of feature you have few issues I y Amara are the same complexion y im sure she will admit that although she has had discriminatory encounters, overall she will be favored bc she is beautiful.
Ray Ray : The Awareness Channel. IT WILL CHANGE IF YOU STOP SUPPORTING BLACK MEN WHO ARE CELEBRITY... STOP PAY ING TO WATCH THIER, MOVIES, DONT BUY THIER PRODUCTS, STOP STANDING UP FOR THEM!!! Boycott these black men who thinks darkskin is ugly....
Ray Ray : The Awareness Channel yes but we would have our own outlets, away from them. So their opinion wouldn't matter nor would it affect us. Black ppl need to stop thinking that we need the dominant society in order to prosper.
💯💯💯💯❤
I’m glad you guys caught the way CTG and Envy was acting toward her. I thought it was just me that notice it.
Same brother, they was on there all kinds of tripping. It makes me feel bad that a purchased CDG book “Black Privilege” to see how he handled that interview with her makes me not even want to read it cause I can’t take him serious now.
Loyal Ethics on psn you took him serious? Ok . 👍🏾
😒 do you not see how much this is blowing up on all platforms and media outlets ? This not a topic that should be played around with because us as dark skinned people are all in the struggle and can relate to it! Ok? *BOOM*
That's not cool they did that
Eireee17. STOP SUPPORTING BLACK CELEBRITY BLACK MEN!!! THEY HATE DARK SKIN WOMEN....
Eireee17 they conducted a ignorant interview and was disrespectful to her as a women! amara looks like ma'at or some Abyssinian or Egyptian Queen. i have not seen a women with her regal look in a while.
Eireee17 It's not cool, it's like the message she was trying to get across they were trying to sweep under the rug and as black people men they should know exactly what she was talking about. He wants to say what about Sza? Is he serious? He acts like it's still not a problem in the U.S. Are you sure it's not in your head? I wish she would've went more in and made them look and feel real stupid.
Eireee17 - They are doing their job and keeping their jobs at the same time. They know what’s up but they can’t talk about it like that. Read my above comment for needed clarification. Peace. ✌️ 😁
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yassss! Love how you added the interviews w/ latino & latinas in the industry
U don’t see a lot of latinas looking like amara in the media, but me being Hispanic I always knew there was Afro Latinos, I’m actually shocked that some people never heard or met someone like amara
Celia Cruz, Cessaria Evora & more... ❤
In all fairness, Cassandra, how can you be shocked when you admitted that you don't really see them? We know the media works overtime to keep them in the shadows. Most cultures do this. How would someone who's not in the culture think that there are many people who look like Amara?
WarriorGoddess Yaa Asantewaa exactly i just learned about Afro Latinos last year or maybe before that. But i was confused when i first seen them lmao. But i understood what they were. Just black people with Spanish culture. If u put a black person in Cuba then that's the culture they will grow up and adapt too. It may look odd because we don't see it very often, cuz like she said they don't put them in the media.
EXACTLY, Why you readin my name? !!
I'm not surprised Charlemagne and Envy were dismissive. They are colorist themselves. Always making waffle color jokes on the radio show you can tell Charlemagne is very insecure. Plus he bleached his skin so what do you expect?
Charlamagne and Envy should watch this video....maybe they'll accept this reality from lighter skinned Afro Latino/a people smh
Charlemagne needs a NYC beat down .
People don’t accept the fact, JLO, Shakira and Sofia Vegara are all light skin afro latinas. Over here in North America, the lighter skin celebs are still more successful. Yet darker skin celebrities bleach their skin.
LaVidaRosa Exactly!!
I was saying the same thing ! But they definitely need to watch this video .
Expat 2018 you need a hug
Thank You for putting this video together so wonderfully🙌🏼🙌🏼
I was so proud of the way she handled the interview . They were making me sooooo angry with their ignorant attitude I had to turn the radio off & on! UGGHHH #dominicana
Chile, I thought I was the only one! I didn't make it half way through the interview. When Charlamagne asked was it in her head, I was done. Cause that's the same thing whites say to us when we bring up police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism. They were beyond ignorant. I will never look at either one of them quite the same.
Thank you for speaking about this! You explained it so well and it’s a topic we all need to talk about in our communities of color!
so we gonna pretend Cardi not light skin
She is NOT black.
Bambie Lashay fammmmm, smh was thinking the same thing. They tried not to acknowledge that.
King Me Light skin black? She not black. She is Hispanic or you might say a little mixed. She could have a little bit of black in her but she is not “light skin” she is Hispanic and Latina and from the Bronx lol.
Shady Tyrell so light skin americans are not black neither???
Exactly.. they were acting slow as fuck.
Thanks for having sense Queen! Glad some have enough common sense to understand why afro latinas say we are Latina. It's all about the culture. But of course we look Black
@ Pretty Boss TV no one looks ''black'' you mean they are south americans/carribeans who speak spanish and are of african heritage. Simpel
I agree with you. I was cringing I felt they were very disrespectful
SxyVegan Mom And very condescending, talking about "are you sure it's not all in your mind"?! Wow. That's especially pathetic that they're black too and don't get it.
SxyVegan Mom
They didnt disrespect her they simply did not value her opinion. They were insensitive but not disrespectful.
No they weren't...they read her...SHE"S FAKE!
This pisses me off so bad because I'm black and Cuban my grandfather is Cuban and it's crazy because people only think Spanish people have light skin
@Big Daddy Romeo But spanish people do have lightskin they are europeans. A afro latino/latina have dark skin because they have a mixed african heritage. just basic math
Big Daddy Romeo lmao u got it wrong spanish people are people from Spain 😂
Alot of people still think Jamaicans are only dark skinned black people
You're right there are people of many colors not just in Latin America but in Spain itself. African and Arab blood runs deep in Spain even in the light skin ones.
rite my mother is light skin and I'm dark skin but from a black culture, and we came here to America and people sneaking Spanish to her.
why they assume she's Hispanic
The hyprocracy from some of these dark black men is outrageous. If Amara was racially ambiguous like a Cardi B they would accept her. It’s outrageous. It’s not in her mind Charalamagne!!!!!!
Charlemagne is the damn devil. Sick individual
Cardi B is not “racially ambiguous.” The bxtch has Afro textured hair and a negroid nose, lips etc. LIGHT SKIN does not equal “ambiguity.” Niggas should’ve never given y’all new terms to use on twitter when all y’all do is throw it around toward women you envy and or resent to dismiss them of their Blkness as if u ever could just for the term to lose its meaning.
Some of the main characters on fresh prince of bel air were afro Latino, most afro latinos have to play african american roles on tv due to colorism. Colorism is also within native american groups to the point of them only being depicted as red skin when many of them were brown skin too
Summers Journey i totally agree, that is how deep colorism is, black african american women are not even promoted in our cultural music or movies unless we are watered down by white traits
SHESHa B why would they be speaking Spanish on the fresh Prince, if they want to play Latinos then I suggest that they go to Telemundo and Univision.
Breakfast Club drop the ball on this interview. Charlemagne with his African jacket on... so embarrassing.
She reminds me of Kenya Moore she’s very pretty.
Yes..I was trying to figure out who she favored.You are right.
China Black yessss they look like they could be sisters ☺️
She looks like a dark version of Tyra Banks! Beautiful eyez
Glenda O. Haynes yes I can see a little Tyra too.
If Tyra and Kenya had a baby...it would be Amara....she is just stunning
she is stunningly beautiful love her
Black is beautiful whether its latina african etc Black women are one of Gods greatest creations 👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐
Charli3 b *W*
Charmane the goddess just made the docket😄
NEXT CAAAASEEE !!!
"ever living goddess." #nextcassseeeee
Trent King I hope they get him he pissed me off so during that interview
Oh hell yea! They on that ass 😛
And im here for it...#NextCaaaase
Omg great interview with the other actors and actresses u answered all of my questions thanku
Breakfast wants to be for culture but don't understand Amara? Lovelyti2002 addressed darkskins did what cardi b been doing before she was an artist and never got acknowledged
Cindy USOS I just finish watch her video.She explain the issue very well.
Facts. Yep
This video really opened my eyes to the struggles that Afro-Latino people have to go thru. I also learned that, for the most part, racism & colorism is even worse in Latin America than it is in the United States.
1ST OF ALL WTH...ITS HARD ON THE DARK SHADE...STRAIGHT UP
ruff alo right
OKAYY
ruff alo STOP SUPPORTING BLACK CELEBRITY MEN!!!! THEY HATE DARK SKIN BLACK WOMEN......
Right
+JESUSCHRISTISCOMINGSOON
JesusChristIsComingSoon,...YES HE IS!!
AND YOUR COMMENT IS ON POINT💯
PERFECT EXPLANATION, THIS IS THE BEST ONE.... I HOPE THIS VIDEO GOES VIRAL💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
CTG and DJ Envy were terrible in this interview. They were very dismissive to her platform.
Fit2BJustMe 2 fuckboys.
I love these videos. I understand more of what Amara was explaining. Thanks for this 🙂
Always can count on Empressive to break that thing down. Someone please DM Charlemagne the link to this video, and Envy. He better give himself DOTD
Diva Dinett * Dealz & More he only does thay if it gets him pussy
Diva Dinett * Dealz & More so true
Diva Dinett * Dealz & More go look at Charlemagne Twitter where he asked who should be donkey of the day. Hundreds of ppl said him and envy for the way they treated amara!
That was a great video Empressive! Charlemagne and DJ Envy need to watch this so that they can get an understanding of what Amara La Negra was trying to explain to them. You just it broke down to the simplest form.
I applaud her as well for remaining classy while trying to explain her point of view which again was very simple to understand.
Ashley Johnson yes. Bc I don’t think I could have kept my cool.
Great video! You explained what we Afro Latinas go through. Thank you!😊
Yet hes going so hard for cardi b and shes not even a good rapper.
right she's Messer than a soup sammich loud and obnoxious
It's still a problem here
Yes!!!!! He had the nerve to say what is cardi B ummmm a light skinned Latino
She didn't allow shit to get to her and was focused on her goal. All minorities should ONLY focus on that! Why bitch and complain? That gets people nowhere! Being a minority myself, I don't let those things get in the way.
Loraine Addersin u need a nap.
Lordpraisethe Facts. Cardi is so overrated it's unbelievable.
OMG, Thank You for posting the interview clips!
smh cardi b is racially ambiguous that is why she can do so well in the american, urban, and latin markets.
gabby rivera Alright TI😉
lovelyti is right tho! lol
Cardi has a huge nose
"racially ambiguous" my ass lmao 😂😂 She looks like any other lightskin black girl walking down the streets of NY. Racially ambiguous is someone like Amber Rose
Ain’t nuttin racially ambiguous about Cardi B. Now Bruno Mars, Rosario Dawson, Sally Richardson, Nicole Sherzinger, and Rita Ora look racially ambiguous.
Empressive I applaud you for speaking up about the colorism that's going on in the world it's so sad that our country is like this when one cannot be accepted as they are as a person than just the color of one's skin
I watched the interview and was thinking the same thing but thought I was just being overly sensitive to the issues! thanks for posting :)
The entertainement industry is still feeding off stereotypes, it's really sad tbh 😒
Yess. Thanks for this! Charlamange and envy really stressed me, i couldnt finish the interview. I appreciate Amara and her poise throughout it all.
I noticed something....dark skinned american men can be at times dismissive of dark skinned women's struggles against discrimination.
I wonder what was so hard to get what she meant. CTG seems smart so i don't understand what was hard to understand what she was saying. It's the equivalent of a black americans saying; I went for the position I am qualified but I get turned down because I am not considered the guy/girl next door (american). What was so hard to understand?
Why does she want to be accepted as latina? Do they want to be accepted as american(as black as just because born and raised)?
She's saying she does better professionally outside of her country.
Like when black americans get asked if they are african by clueless foreigners overseas who can't grasp the concept some americans are black.
Sometimes I get the feeling they just want her to ignore what happens to her and just hurry up and get in that sexy bikini.
It's all a hot mess.
If she played stupid they'd have a problem with that too they need to calm down so she can be herself. Let people speak their truth.
Clorox Bleach Said Don't Trust Rahj Not all of us. Charlemagne is just a coward.
Clorox Bleach Said Don't Trust Rahj
Often people already have their minds made up. Or they only see there struggle and not the struggle of others.
Black men don't want to acknowledge dark skin women's struggle, because they believe women should suffer in silence. They just want women to be quiet and look pretty. We are not suppose to complain about anything. Plus every time we mention colorism it makes them feel guilty about their preference for light skin women. It's just like telling a drug addict that drugs are bad for you. They are going to be dismissive and react very angry.
Nakia Howe black women can't be pro black, if black women don't have any options then you should do what helps you and be politically correct.
Nakia Howe, because your complaints of colorism from you females are worthless. like what you said about black mens light skin preference which is bullshit. if anything most of yall are looking for validation from other races of men. thats why you CARE so much. lets be real how many men are you going to have SEX with? You only need one man. Why must every man out there validate or prefer you dark skin females? i see black men with brown, dark and light skin all the time. This is why i say your complaints of colorism are worthless.
This is why I love this channel.
Latin people don't want to be associated with black people especially in DR where they celebrate the idea of ethnically cleansing their nation by breeding with whites exclusively. It is worse in America where blacks are considered African immigrants. The popular idea that America is blonde hair blue eyes football and apple pie is very discouraging. At least in Latin countries they consider all the natural citizens Puerto Rican or Cuban or Colombian or Dominican whether black or white. Unlike here where blacks are African Americans and not just American even tho black Jamaicans Brazilians etc are simply Jamaican or Brazilian no prefix or DISCLAIMER. That's honestly why i feel a lot of black Americans don't be wanna hear about "the struggle" from Dominicans and Trinidadians and whoever else bc.. over here when been dealing with the shit
Omg I am so happy she is speaking up on this issue! A couple of years ago I watched this video on TH-cam called “Too Black for Brazil” and I cried so hard afterwards.
Yep...Charlemagne need to put himself on the Donkey of the Day list😒
Also "Empressive" this is a great post - you're educating people. Thank you!
I got that vibe from them it felt like they questioned her "struggle"
These 2 guys are working in the wrong profession to have a closed mindset.smh
I get a kick out of the Breakfast Club, but I think they dropped the ball on this interview....Cthagod and Envy need to share that Donkey of the Day tag....She's a beautiful young lady...wish her all the best
Talunja Scott-Patterson
Your response was so intelligent. Too many people are over reacting but you remained level headed. Yes they were insensitive but nothing to justify the anger in a lot of the posts to this video. They are ignorant of her struggle, so what, MOVE ON.
Drew Andrews thank you for your kind response. Be well 💯❤
Just imagine if she wasn't beautiful ..she wouldn't even be a topic
The hunt is on said by a piece of shit 😂😂😂😂😅😴😴😴
*DJ Envy* “is it true? cause I don’t see that”
*CTG* “you sure it’s not in your mind?”
I was VERY surprised by their ignorance, lack of compassion and willing to understand. It’s one thing to be ignorant, but have an open mind. They completely dismissed Amara’s point. *Colorism is VERY prevalent in America and other countries as well.* Then to act as if it doesn’t exist in the music industry because a couple of black, dark-skinned artists made it is absurd! Using Cardi B to try and negate the fact that colorism very well exists in the music industry which only further proves Amara’s point in the first place.
This was the PERFECT chance to have use their further educate the ignorant upon such an important topic and they failed!
*Throw the whole interview & interviewers away* 🤦🏾♀️
I hope Amara speaks on this issue through her music. Can’t wait to support her!
I approve this message.. lol
thank god for the breakfast club.
Talisha C I wasn't even surprised because they are always disrespectful towards many people. I guess ignorance is what made them famous.
Prophetess. Haha u are SO RIGHT ABOT THAT ...😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁
I'm glad you made this video and put other people's testimonies in it at the end because I feel a lot of people still don't get it. I had to stop watching that Breakfast Club interview because Envy and especially Charlamagne were acting real ignorant and dismissive. And when Charlamagne said he didn't see and asked her was it all in her head, I thought to myself, isn't that what whites say to us when we claim police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism? They say we're making it up and that they don't see what we're talking about. I don't care how famous I am, I would never go on that show unless those two were gone.
Thank you for this video. Charlemagne can engage in intelligent discussion and critical thought with Envy, Schultz, Umar, Budden, even gays and transgenders etc. but when it comes to women, he falls back on lazy interviews. Asking her if she was sure that colorism is Latin America was not in her mind was disrespectful and if anyone asked him that same question about racism, he'd make sure to shut them down.
@empressive Thankyou for adding all those clips in 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾I love your channel 👑👑👑✨✨✨👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🔥🔥🔥
I was more surprised at CTG was so dismissive because she is married to a black woman and a black daughter.
Jay Noire that all depends on how the child is raised. Doesn't matter what skin tone the mother is if the mother isn't being a mother if you catch my drift
Really?! I’m surprised 😮 about that one too but I do notice that every time a dark skinned black woman is a guest on his show it seems like to me I could be wrong that for some reason he goes hard on them example Buffy the Body I don’t understand that one...
Excellent job with this video you have done an amazing job pointing out those factors and you should take this video and use it as a feature for this story and apply it to several platforms for more notoriety! Thank you!
DJ Envy ignorance never surprises me.
Thank you for posting this video. Thank you for talking about the broader point of view. :) I love your channel!
Charlemagne of all people should know about dark VS light skin
Byron Walker After bleaching his skin he acts like he look like Drake 😂😂😂
This was really good...thank you for your post🙏!
God bless Amara!! She is the epitome of grace and good standards!! She will go far because God don't like ugly..what was first will be LAST, and what was LAST will be FIRST!! #GoFigure
Although I didn't like your Monique video, I continue to subscribe because of videos like this and the Mya one! I love how you show and prove what you are saying instead of just throwing things out there. Keep it up. We will continue to pray for Charlamagne the dog and DJ no one is envying you! :)
Charlemagne tha god , should she bleach her skin like you did ?
Beautiful and brilliant video, I feel very informed right now... thank you so much! 🤗
That interview was hard to watch. And then ctg had the nerve to ask if it's in her mind. 105.1 make NYC look bad.
Whitney Deivory He is not ours, that is an import from the south. Though he’s been here for a while his southern upbringing really comes out especially times like this. Envy’s excuse? Well he has none, unless stupidity is a valid excuse.
Great video, Empressive. Loved the interviews!
This was a great video. I'm glad you included commentary from other celebrities who faced the same thing so that we could understand different perspectives. I hope Charlemagne and Envy will take the time to do the same.
This a fantastic review and the validation at the end....this needs to send to Cthg
