I'm not a fan of the Mobo's either because I don't think they need to call it that and a MOWO equivalent wouldn't be acceptable. Hence 'country' music awards etc...
Also, Mobo isn't as bad because white people can enter. Assuming this isnt the case for Miss Black Britain?

Can someone put me right on what is acceptable between 'black' and 'coloured'? Aparently there was a complaint somewhere because someone was called coloured - is that wrong? Is 'black' the new brown...?

they aren't green, blue, orange, yellow and purple. They are black and as such people shouldn't feel embarrassed at saying that. |

In the beauty business women are described as 'ladies of colour' if they have non caucasian skin colour and that seems to be the accepted way. It's wierd how it's ok in one place and not in another. And if someone called me a 'whitey' I would think they are being insulting - but I'm not sure why. |

Many black people consider "coloured" a derogatory term. Found that out the hard way, completely innocently. |

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.
There is no Tulisa argument heathen! She pwns all regardless of race, religion and ethnic background. She unites the world in recognition of her greatness. On a side note could you give me your definition of Urban Music? |
