Let’s Talk About Why Black Men Avoid Discussing The “C-Word”

Colorism is the disease without a cure

Back in January — Amara La Negra — star of Love & Hip Hop: Miami — accepted the invitation to appear on The Breakfast Club — where she was grilled about the controversial episode featuring the clueless music producer — who tried to convince the already accomplished artist from the Dominican Republic to downplay her Afrocentric tendencies in order to attract stardom in the States.

La Negra stood her ground when she was forced to defend her grooming choices on the show — and she brought that winning spirit when she was put in the unenviable position of having to once again — justify the reality of colorism — not just in the industry of her choice — but also within her community.

While speaking to the gang of the currently embattled radio show — the singer had a difficult time convincing Charlamagne tha God — ( who is usually annoyingly clueless about the most basic shit) — about the validity of her challenges as a darker skinned Afro-Latina. The entire visit was cringe-worthy and beyond excruciating — as La Negra exhaustively fielded silly questions and even sillier comments that left most of us — alarmed and confused at the level of stupidity on display.
