Award shows like the BET Awards, the Soul Train Awards and the NAACP Awards are not just necessary, they?re critical for celebrating and supporting black talent without racial disparities. Despite Fresh Prince actress Janet Hubert taking aim at the Smiths for being ?the system that is unfair to other actors,? Will has lost to other black actors the two times he was nominated for an Oscar -- he was nominated for Ali in 2002 and lost to Denzel Washington for Training Day. In 2007, Forest Whitaker and his role in The Last King of Scotland beat Will Smith and his performance in The Pursuit of Happyness. Smith even took the same defiant yet peaceful approach back in 1989 when he skipped that year?s Grammys, despite scoring the first prize given to a rap artist (best rap performance) for ?Parents Just Don?t Understand.? By the show?s design, the ceremony omitted its rap portion and Smith boycotted.

wait Will

American was built on the backs of our ancestors. Why should we continue to allow our history to be shut out? Black Award shows and black owned programs are great but we work just as hard as the majority race if not harder, why shouldn't we receive the same acknowledgement? Boycotting isn't as effective as it was back in the day because 70% majority and 13% Minority.

Something has to give. We can't be 56 removed from the Civil Rights movement and still dealing with the same shit.

Now you faggs are just being late. The Oscars outrage was silly to me but the Grammys lack of diversity is justified. Especially when the whole show has been diluted to showcasing Rock, Country and Pop acts and their wins. You don't see anything wrong with that? :kii: Then y'all want to complain about your flop nigger faves not getting opportunities to promote and their label shitting on them.

KING BENTLEY.

Let's see here

A Grammy Award (originally called Gramophone Award), or Grammy, is an accolade by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) of the United States to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry. The annual presentation ceremony features performances by prominent artists, and the presentation of those awards that have a more popular interest. It shares recognition of the music industry as that of the other performance arts: Emmy Awards (television), the Tony Awards (stage performance), and the Academy Awards (motion pictures).

vs.

The Soul Train Music Awards is an annual award show which previously aired in national television syndication, and honors the best in Black music and entertainment. It is produced by the makers of Soul Train, the program from which it takes its name, and features musical performances by various R&B and Soul recording artists interspersed throughout the ceremonies.

I'm sorry but this whole mess reeks of victimhood. Cater to the shows who respect your craft and keep it moving.

Begging for validation from these award shows isn't going to change a damn thing.
