Who cares and why is this a political issue?
Why does a "Rant" have to mean it's "political"? You do realize this isn't just a political forums?

Some people are better at certain things than others. That's why the NBA is predominantly Black and the NHL is predominantly White.It's a fact of life. I see this as whinging because of the "All White Oscars" crap. People got to get over this tripe.

There is a MOBO award and not a MOWO award because for many decades black music was ignored and denigrated by a racist system, so as part of reclaiming pride in their heritage, black artists and producers decided to hold an award.
There is no need for a MOWO award because we live in a white dominated culture and our ancestors were not enslaved. Every day is white-appreciation day in western cultures. We literally don't need the extra awards, but people belonging to groups that have been subjugated and exposed to the most awful racism for hundreds of years do.
It's not about putting white people down, it's about raising other folks up to our level.
