Confronting Colorism Around the World – L'union Suite
“Love & Hip Hop” regular Amara La Negra is no stranger to the side glances and microaggressions that come with having dark skin. The singer, entertainer and Afro-Latina is proud of her heritage — that is, except for the racism that’s still present within the Latinx community. A deep-rooted history of colorism and slavery contributed to a culture in which Latinx people are still discriminated against by members of their own community, even as they are made up of many different colors, shapes and sizes.
