Just completely off subject, and playing devils advocate. I turned over channels a couple of nights ago to again come across the annual MOBO award (for those that don't know - Music of Black Origin) . During this I noticed Lenny Henry give a big introduction and award to a black female Olympic champion boxer. I have nothing against it.
So I thought what would happen if we had the MOWO awards (yes white origin) and it so happened that we gave an award to an outstanding white Olympian.
How would this be received? Racist I take it.

Based on previous happenings, if someone started a MOWO award that happened to get national attention, you would expect a government agency to pay a few 'white' assets to attempt to recruit people from the public, then hold a 'protest' to call it 'racist' with main stream media being invited to sell it to the mass population as 'racist'.

Supasub black people created a lot of music genres and never got the credit for it. I see no problem with it because they're probably sick of being mugged off.

{Ed033's Note - i think Supasub's point is not that there shouldn't be MOBO awards, but what would happen if someone started a MOWO award.

Edd033 I personally think the idea is patronising.
I understand the racism card though. It would likely draw in serious criticism and alleged racism from the media even though black people are doing it. only white people can be racists apparently. All these labels are killing free speech. We're as a nation being walked over because again over political correctness.
