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.

QuoteThe origin of the Academy dates back to the beginning of the 1950s Hollywood Walk of Fame project. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce asked the help of major recording industry executives in compiling a list of people in the music business who should be honored by Walk of Fame stars.[1][2] The music committee, made up of these executives, compiled a list, but as they worked, they realized there were many more talented industry people who would not qualify to be recognized with a Hollywood Boulevard bronze star. The founding committee members included Jesse Kaye, MGM Records; Lloyd Dunn and Richard Jones, Capitol Records; Sonny Burke and Milt Gabler, Decca Records; Dennis Farnon, RCA Records; and Axel Stordahl, Paul Weston, and Doris Day from Columbia Records.[3] This was the start of the Academy and also of the GRAMMY Awards.
it's not even a government organization
it was made by them, for them, a neighborhood clubhouse tea
these poor young black artists THINK to be special you need a grammy
forget about "adding diversity"
it wasn't created with diversity in mind so they can KEEP it
by now we have more than enough capable and talented black musicians and music industry execs to start a separate academy. WE set the trends in music moreso than movies. Stop going to the Grammys unless they agree to a COMPLETE overhaul and restarting of the Academy
if not ..... let's start our own shit, just name it something more official than Soul Train
