I would only ask that if there was an award for music of white origin, would it be considered racist or politically incorrect? I can imagine Diane Abbot sitting on scarecrow Corbin's knee blurting out her usual 'its not fair' rhetoric

and in fact we have Music of White Origin awards; for example folk music awards.... some would claim the Country Music Awards etc.

The MOBOs are music of Black origin... nothing more or less; the influences of different cultures on todays music; and as with all music awards the winners are people drawn from all different backgrounds and cultures; the name of the awards pay homage to the inspiration of the theme of the music genre.... why do you see this as racist OP?

how exactly is it racist?

is a black board racist?

is a blackbird racist?

are black beans racist??

just because something refers to a colour in its title it doesnt mean it is racist.

The music is of black origin, undeniably....all races can and do win awards so there is no preferential treatment to any one race.

Instead of MOBO it was the MOWO Awards would that be okay? No, of course not so why should it be okay for MOBO. Positive discrimination says just one thing first and foremost to the recipient... you don't deserve this you're just getting it because you are "different".

Is it really so difficult to comprehend that with art or music or any aspect of culture there are different influences that enhance the world we live in; paying homage or giving credit to the foundation of that inspiration is not racist; its an acknowledgement about how diverse we have become and that by acknowledging this diversity we respect its origins.....?

The issue in these threads and questions posed is rarely about the nature of the music awards and origin of the music (and what that *really* means rather than being a colour) -- the issue I assume (and this is the impression I glean, my opinion and I hope to be corrected by the OP that this is not the case) but the issue is more often about --

Why is racism only one way? Is it racist if we reversed the white and black?

Well, the OP has a point *but* *only* if in that reversing the entire systematic build up of racism of white to black too and then put on the awards as MOWO. This is the concept missed out, to simply reverse it does *not* reverse it hence it is racist.

Please Doc, educate yourself.

nope

Country music was one of the first genres of modern American popular music, and old-time music was its earliest style. It developed in the southeastern states of the USA as a mix of folk music from the British Isles, church music and African American blues.

because there is no need for it....white people have not had their music taken from them, been exploited to benefit the white record label owners, watched while black recording artists get rich on their music, their lyrics and sometimes even their voices!!

I refer to another thread where i explained how equality isnt treating everyone the same....it is giving everyone that same outcome. White music awards are not needed because every other music awards has, for generations, been predominately white orientated.

Also....it is not racist to celebrate something's origins....it is racist to not allow any other race to enter and win, something the MOBO's don't do and therefor they are NOT racist!!!

Irrespective, let's stop banning things we disagree with.

Secondly, you are talking utter nonsense. Firstly, "black" as a race is totally meaningless and many people who are not dark skinned have won Mobo awards.

No because the origin of a style of music does not mean only one race of people can perform it.

Non white people play music which was originally performed by white people, they do it all the time.

If they are good, they win an award. Simple.

Let's start moaning about actual things, not made up ignorant appraisals of something.

"I'd hazard a guess to say if there was a music of white origin awards then they'd be classed as racist.

If they were, then it would be because whoever set them up would probably have the same ignorant attitude as the OP here.

'white' music is fully celebrated and lauded already. We don't have MOWO for the same reason we don't have straight pride.

We should have Straight Pride. Afterall there aren't many of them once the closet bi & gays own up

Let's stop highlighting differences and start celebrating common ground?

No because that's really fucking boring. I like difference

Well if you highlight and point out difference, you will get bigotry.

Your choice.

Or diversity. Your choice

You can get diversity without pointing out and highlighting differences. Bloody hell. This is hard work.

"Firstly, "black" as a race is totally meaningless

It's not.

Genetically it is totally worthless as a term.

Musically, it ain't.

No one is arguing that, apart from you.

That would be fine if bigotry didn't already exist. But it does. So it's meaningless.

Any form of awards are only 'racist' if they deliberately exclude anyone.

So no they aren't.

No, I read it, I am questioning the point of using "black" or "white" to define giant sections of the worlds population. The frequency at which light reflects from our skin does not mean that we will act in any particular way or we should be treated in any particular way. This shit is fucking basic.

You clearly only want to argue, I can't be arsed, what I have written is true and correct and when you are ready to try and understand it then come and give it a go.

And you're clearly chatting shit.

I've heard the same arguments many times - we're all the same colour on the inside, "I don't see different skin colours" blah blah blah

All ignorant to the fact that difference is good and should be embraced and celebrated, not ignored.

I just don't get why anyone would be offended by the mobos. FFS, it's just silly I'm not offended. If anything I think the people offended are the racist ones.

Ifs because SIR for years music of black origin went unnoticed. Grammys Oscars were not recognising as a whole that a race of people (that previously were not allowed to display their artistic talents) so they tried to say " look here is how it's done. You do seem to have a bee in your bonnet about this . Has someone from the mobos upset you or donw something to you ?
