Can't wait for the next MOWO awards.
If a race has been sidelined and mistreated are they right to spend a few decades redressing the balance by having awards and festivals which exclude people not of their race?
Not that 'black' is quite a 'race', but anyway...
Nah, not if the goal is equality. I don't think you can have true equality if you keep score. You'll end up with an 'us and them' mindset. Nothing wrong with celebrating culture, I'm all for that: I quite like the occasional highland games. I only go as a spectator but you don't have to be Scottish if you want to enter the events. I'm not keen on a 'black only' beauty competition because it smarts of segregation. There would be outrage at a 'white only' beauty competition. I'm sure there is no harm meant in running this event but there must be an undercurrent of different rules for different colours. That's why I won't be supporting it either. This is a good post imo. I think the black fighters for racial equality in the USA of yesteryear were not standing up so much for black people as trying to trample segregation, inequality and perceived divisions based purely on colour. Hardly celebrated by then having events for black people only. |

Na Na Naiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii No great need for Dappy or a contest can I just have Tulisa tell me that she's been 'searching all over facebook trying to find me'? or that she wants to 'put a ring on my finger, have i wondered about being with a singer' |

We've had the debate about events aimed at minorities before and no one's going to change their views, so can't see much point adding my own.
I would say though that if people want a reason to protest against beauty contests there are plenty of other reasons that probably hold more validity.
I'll be voting anyway. Good luck Candice.

Hows it any different if you have a tall/black/fat/indian/hairy greek beauty contest?

I don't understand the Tulisa argument, just cause a white girl can win an award for singing a supposed black song or in a black way then its ok to have black music awards.
Its like saying that Michael Jackson can win a MOWO award for singing C&W but not R&B!
PS if the MOBO was called the Urban Music award I would no issue with it.
