What validation does winning against a white in the general fields have?

n

Woo look! I beat a whitey!  :hmph:

Cool.
:udontlookok:
it has nothing to do with validation and beating a whitey
The GENERAL field is supposed to mean you're the best in general over EVERYONE else. Not just the best nigger or best cracker
:uhh:
the whole topic is based off black and white. Best or better is subjective
There are people who think Beyonce isn't the BEST in certain categories compared to others

You should be annoyed with the fact that your faves don't even make it to the general fields instead of being annoyed at Bey beating them in R&B categories.

The way this issue is flying over y'all heads is alarming.     

no, I honestly don't care whatsoever
There's nothing wrong with a black urban artist being rewarded for doing black urban music  :dead:

!! I guess she didn't beat out a bunch of whites to get it, so therefore it's not validated.
The Grammy are biased and racist, nothing will change that short of a change up in the voting room.
Wish we had THIS much amount of support and compassion 
for black awards.

thats the point
she can only be best Urban Contemporary and not BEST
Adele doesn't have to settle for best Pop Vocal album though

But blacks will always want to be equal to whites
It's ingrained in our pysche
We need to want to have MORE, for ourselves

LOONA.

Of course she won Urban Contemporary album. That was pretty much expected. She's black

And it has nothing to do with beating out white people. We're not talking about the Rock or Pop categories (which most consists of white people) we're talking about the general fields which should be equal opportunity for everybody.

And y'all need to stop talking about "supporting our own" because most of the time y'all are on here bashing and making fun of everything black from all the struggling R&B girls to BET and everything else.

Cuz I have yet to see a damn true discussion about the NAACP image awards ... let alone a Bey (outside of Ray) mentioning the importance of our black stars being there... and supporting it

Let's fucking discuss girls... since you all are in the discussion mood

I don't think the categories are, but the show and its committee are most likely racist.  Wish we didn't give it so much energy though.

yummy

Maybe Truth Hurts will show Bey' some love in her AOTY acceptance speech next year



Don't hold ur breath tho
