Only TWO out of Bey's 20 Grammys where won against white artists. SOTY and Pop Vocal Performance where she won against several other pop girls. Much like Kanye, Jay-Z etc, Bey is loved by the Academy Awards because she's at the top of her genre. In fact she easily is the most relevant RnB artist nowadays, hence the fact that she's always guaranteed to win in those categories. But whenever it comes to the general ones (which include rock, country, generally white artists), the Grammys always give her the blind eye. They did the same to Frank, Kanye, Kendrick etc, in spite of them releasing critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums this decade. Sure, they won a lot of rap/rnb awards, but none of them won anything out of their niche categories. I don't see what's so hard to understand. In fact their "love" for her is hypocritical as hell
