I’m Boycotting Black Award Shows

I’ve been running around so much for the past week I forgot to post my reaction to the NAACP Image Awards that I wrote for Centric’s Culture List Blog. Well, after watching the show, @sedat30 and I decided we need a moratorium on these shows until we can do better. Just kidding … not really. Join the Do Better Movement (shout out to on.us.tees who stay on the vanguard of the DBM).

I’ve had it! I can’t take it any more. I cannot bear to have one more Black Awards show go on like this. That’s right, this is a cease and desist notice to: The NAACP Image Awards, The BET Awards, The Soul Train Awards, The Vh1 Hip-Hop Honors, The Source Awards, The You’re a Person of Color Awards, (okay you caught me—I made the last one up). However the point remains, the more Black Award shows we seem to have, the lower quality they seem to get!

    Lol, it's a joke … kinda. I would not actually advocate boycotting them. But I do think that they really need to be of better quality. Too many shows end up being a function of turf wars. As a viewer, I love to see my people celebrated, but I want it to be for the right reason, not because folks have nominated darn near everyone.

    I’d love to see Don Cheedle (sp?) win at least one.  He deserves it but there are also so many other deserving winners.  By the way, I see that you won your own award for this blog.  Congratulations!  I just found it but I plan to return.
