the mobo awards are a annual tradition of celebrating black music.
but that's it...


i mean, after veiwing the awards for a couple of years there is one thing missing.
-a single white person.

i know it's traditional to have a black only night, but, in my eyes this seems a little racist.
no, in fact, a lot racist.

just think about it for a moment.
if someone set up a award ceremony for the celebration of white music and ther wasn't a single black person there. it would proberly become a national debate and be stopped.


it just gets me a little peeved, y'know.


thanks.

Are you serious? your history needs a bit of dusting, there been over 80 years of good black music, jazz, Rock, Soul, Funk.
What are you talking about? Dj Luck and Mc Neat aren't leading us into a new era!

Didn't Eminem go to the last one? I believe hes white on occasions, also, I think Adam F (another crazy white guy0 will be turning up, due to the fact hes written loads of recent rap tunes, anyway the musics good, it needs respect, although i'm hoping rubbish like 'Miss-teeq' won't show their faces, although they have nice bootae their music has a lot to be desired.....
Also, i'm hoping for another 'jump onto table and throw my gun into the air' performance from Method Man again + some redman songs wouldn't go amiss.

I don't think we have to worry about there being racism against whites, by blacks. I think we need to sort out the opposite before worrying about anything else.

Think about it only a couple of decades ago there was rarely any black artists 'cos white people were tight so I reckon they should get their own special night for their music! No offence intended!
