More Black blogger discord can be found in the Internet concerning Paula White receiving a Trumpet Award.I watched some of the show even though Sherry Sheppard was a host (She just reminds me of a shorter version of Mo'Nique - just a greasy and hungry looking beast.).
Does she deserve to be honored by a "Black" Foundation?
Well... the awards were first presented by a less than Black... Ted Turner.
People like Andre Agassi do a lot for Black people when other Blacks fail to do so.
(But see Tracy's Blacks Give Back for balance to this statement.)
This award may have been as 'token' as Halle Berry winning an Oscar for Monster's Ball.
Saying that Black awards shows should only honor Blacks is as racist as saying that only whites deserve to win Oscars, Grammys, Tonys or Emmys.
Saying that a preacher should not have won this award would eliminate Jakes, Dollar or the old school Rev. Ike from receiving this award.
So is the protest against Ms White really just racism, but from another group?
