Interesting. I saw blues performer Ruthie Foster last week and she brought this subject up. You could tell she was a little miffed.

It’s a little absurd that she would make the Outstanding Video shortlist while Kelly Rowland, a black performer who had the best video of the year by anyone of any color, was left off for “Motivation.”

You can bet if Adele does win Outstanding Video, Kanye will make another appearance onstage.

Is Adele racist enough to even attend a race based awards ceremony?

I could careless what the racist socialist liberal marxist NAACP does, or says.............

[GSWarrior]

I forgot about that.

If Adele is black, then so is, like, everybody on earth, including Norwegians.

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

I hope she dedicates it to all the white people.

Who would want an award given by the Klan With a Tan?

The writer is so spot on about calling blacks “colored” people. that is just so politically incorrect. It was a term used by uppity white women referring to the hired help.

But they’ll not change the acronym NAACP because it’s how they do. Once upon a time the NAACP was a noble organization, the creation of Martin Luther King, he who had a dream that all people would be recognized not for the color of their skin but the strength of their character.

Nowadays glory-seekers like Rev. Al and Jesse Jackson use this organization to jump on the good intentions created by MLK though the strength of someone’s character matters not a whit to them.

It’s how liberals do....they take something that was once respected and revered then use it to squeeze out all that they can for less than noble reasons.

It’s why they want to change the word “abortion” to contraception. Because when they start losing, they start changing words.

All the while peeing upon our feet and telling us it’s raining.

Martin King created the NAACP in 1909, decades before his birth?

The rookie Hussein isn't.

well I guess I’m wrong.

I do know that this organization grew under his tutelage.

But you caught me. I really thought he started it.

I said a whole lot more in my comment, kind of insightful stuff, but you caught me.

Yes you did.

[ansel12]

You were also wrong about “colored” being mainly used by “uppity white women” addressing their help, what ever “uppity white women” are.

[Fishtalk]

So glad I have you to tell me how things are.

I stand by what I said. Your mileage may vary. It’s how this forum works.

Moving on....

[Revolting cat!]

It’s not the skin color, it’s the amount of body fat.

Well you thought MLK created the NAACP, and you seem to be racist, against “uppity white women”, I had to correct you.
