I didn't make any attempt to explain how it relates to America. I don't understand your question. Why would I have proof for something I haven't tried to state?
Do you have proof that I have a bottle of Pepsi on my desk?

thats what i was meaning to ask you if you had anything to back it up... sorry for the confusion.Jeremy wrote:Obviously the vast majority of music awards in Western countries are already won by white people. There doesn't need to be a "white music awards" because it would simply be the same people winning the same awards.

Well I recall it being an American awards night but it's quite possible I'm wrong. Regardless, my point still stands.
I'm gonna put a disclaimer here: I'm aware that I don't have any real understanding of how it feels to be subjected to racism. I also don't know what the answer is (a feasible one, anyway). I was just stating my opinion because I feel PC has gone too far. I have an issue with the whole self-importance deal in general.
I'm pretty sure you understood my point but to clarify, it was the double standard pissing me off not the awards (of which I couldn't care less).sanuke okumatzu wrote:
But you'll never see a white person complaining about black,latino, or canadian music awards.
I see one!

political correctness pisses me off. so do lawsuits. I saw an article in the newspaper the other day for the "Black Music Awards" and got angry.
^Right There^
I'm allowed. Most people have hissy fits on occasion, it's called an 'emotional reaction'. My point was that I'm sick of people chucking hissy fits cause they're self-important and how dare they say that about my race! Half the time it's probably just confusion arising from different upbringing's and cultures anyway.You respond to a hissy fit by chucking your own hissy fit?
You know you don't have to be such an ass, don't you?Do you have proof that I have a bottle of Pepsi on my desk?
