The Justin Beiber Nomination, and My Problem with BET.

OK, here's my question: "WHY ARE BLACK PEOPLE SO UP IN ARMS ABOUT JUSTIN BEIBER'S BET NOMINATION?". While I'll admit that I was a little shocked to hear that he was nominated, I'm certainly not going to gather my pitchfork and call an angry mob over it. I think that by getting so upset about the whole situation black people are only making themselves look VERY RACIST. Real talk. Now, I do understand where SOME people are coming from; maybe BET could've used JB's spot to promote another black artist who needs the exposure, but I don't think that BET should become so exclusive that we neglect to recognize ALL of the artists with talent, in respects to each award category. If it gets to that point, then white people will soon be complaining about BET in the same way that we complained about MTV when they refused to play black videos. Make sense? Good. But there is one more thing that I'd like to talk about in regards to BET. A lot of people credit BET with promoting black artists who don't get a lot of mainstream exposure. 100% true. But what about our "Rihanna's", "Lupe Fiasco's", "Janelle Monae's", and "B.o.B's" who can BARELY get spots on shows like 106 & Park because their music doesn't fit in with the rest of the music on the channel? I think THAT'S a REAL problem that should upset people. BET mainly caters to the hip-hop and rap culture these days, and I think that's very sad since black music is MUCH MORE than that. Maybe we should be focusing our energy into making sure that ALL of OUR artists get recognition on OUR channel instead of criticizing others (like Beiber) who are able to cross over into our (occasionally hostile) waters.
