RACIST, RACIST, RACIST!!!!! All races can watch, all races can give money, all races can attend, BUT! Only Black people are honored. I guess it would be different if it was White Music Honors. Funny how blacks can have;
Black History Month – No White History Month.
Black College Fund, UNCF.org – No White College Fund.
Black Film Festival, ABFF.com – No White Film Festival.
Black Entertainment Television, BET.com – No White Entertainment Television.
And white people are called prejudice and racist?!?!
If whites tried to start these, we would be sued and forced to take them down. I’m not prejudiced, just sharing the facts.
Yes we/anyone but black people, can observe, attend, and contribute to these organizations. But, no other race can participate because they are not black?!?! THAT IS RACIST!!!!
