Is that right? It seems to me there is loads of recognition of black music at the Brits perhaps even more recognition than white music/artists get

When they started out there was next to none. A their music has become more popular it has then become mainstream and as you say now all white people are now listening to it so it's fully integrated now.

It's why you have things like the Brit Asia Music Awards. For music and artists of asian origin.

I haven't seen any of the type of artists and music there getting any time at the brits or mobos.

So now they have kept on doing it because it's what everyone does. Have a yearly award ceremony.

Do we really need both an oscars and an academy award winners show? Plus all the rest for the tv and music industry.

Could we not have the MOUO (moo-ohs) Music of urban origin?

It would get boring Rick Astley winning each year.

He's never gonna give that up.

Go ahead and set one up. Let the free market decide whether it succeeds or fails!

. . . Listen to stuff you enjoy - who cares whether it's written by a black, white, oriental or whatever person?

THIS! Do you really need an annual awards event to tell you what music you like :confused:

I dont see why black has to be mentioned at all though in this context.

So the awards show would be... MOO?

Because today's 'politically correct' society is incredibly hypocritical.

It's always been incredibly hypocritical, indeed probably more so in the past purely based on a bigger religious franchise pretending they are better than they are.

Because white people aren't plagued with the massive insecurity that would necessitate them.

The MoBo stays inside my PC.

Surely music awards are music awards. If you are good enough, you get one...

Making a special award just for one type of music makes that award much less prestigious.

Would you suggest its unwarranted insecurity? Pretend you're a minority and see if you can relate at all.

Only a minority in the western world. Black people outnumber white people by a massive amount.

Is there a "white music award" in Nigeria?
