Black artists should boycott til they reintroduce the R&B cat

Why?

R&B artists don't even really make good MV's anymore anyway. And they award blacks pretty often

I mean outside of the main girls like Bey I can't think of any that really come to mind

Everyone in general is pretty lazy nowadays tbh

definitely. The R&B (including sub-gen) girls put out some good music. Well some...

But on a visual level they all fucking suck.  no concept no nothing.

[Lazarus]

MTV definitely should've included Best R&B Video category this year

I don't really know current R&B videos outside of Bey, Rih, and Weeknd (maybe a few others) but I feel like they alone should be enough to add these categories. They're really the only consistent artists of all genres to have memorable music videos here days..
