MOBO Awards

[vetteheadracer]

Shouldn't they be banned for being racist?

[scorp]

If its exclusive of other races, then surely yes ?

[MILF]

But being black surely isnt a "race" in the literal sense of the word, is it ? (wheres that "Devils Advocate" icon when you need it ?).

[tonyhetherington]

Can you imagine the outcry if they made the MOWO awards?

[dds1]

didn't realise Jamie Cullum was black

[Witchfinder]

Isn't it "Black Origin", ie: musical styles originating from black culture? White artists can (and do) win MOBOs, assuming they produce music of "Black Origin"

[B17NNS]

say it every year - the MOBO's are racist.

Them coloured's would be up in arms if there was a MOWO award

Apart from Classical is there any music that isn't of black origin? All Rock & Indie is from Blues, RnB is the new Soul, then there's Reggae & Rap...

[B17NNS]

you don't see many black punks

He talks a load of shite...

[dick dastardly]

Punk is a variation of Rock. Both are originally based on the blues

[lord summerisle]

and blues is BO...

BB King.... et al

They already do they are called the Country Music Awards

[Zod]

All rock is arguably of black origin from Elvis through the Stones and Led Zeppelin to the modern day.

[MILF]

Am just waiting for someone to say "but they just have natural rhythm", which is true, surely ?

Ever seen a black man who cant dance, ever seen a white man who can ? (well, except for J K & Tom Jones & I have reservations about those two).

[smac]

Unless this is just Live music isnt it all recorded using 'technology of white origin'? Its all cobblers
