Not unless you follow Latin music closely, or watch the television show Love and Hip-Hop: Miami. Of course I realize that many of you reading this post may not be familiar with Amara La Negra.
This week Weekly Music Commentary features the rising singer Amara La Negra.

A major solution is education about people of different cultures and skin colors. Which includes cultural avenues like music. Many here in the US have seen racism become a systematic problem throughout our society. His thoughts explain why racism in many places may last for decades, or centuries. That’s what makes it extremely difficult to combat racist beliefs and actions. Racism itself does not allow for rational decisions. A few years ago as I watched a documentary about the civil rights movement of the 1960’s, a local leader from an Alabama town explained his views on racism.
