Actually, I had just woken up and couldn't be bothered. Now that I've had a coffee, I'll happily respond.
You say the BET Awards are 'racist or at least prejudice'. How so? Against white people? I can't even fathom how you came to that conclusion. Racial issues are 'soooo old boring and repetitive' yet the same issues black people have been dealing with for decades are still a problem, hence why people of all races are unhappy with the inequalities in the entertainment industry, not just black people. What are you expecting, people to stop fighting for their fights? Because I do hope you feel the same about LGBT issues, especially trans issues that have been a dominant focus point for just the last year, and that's been an ongoing issue, with some progress, since the 60s - about the same as the civil rights movement.
'The most prestigious award in Hollywood The Oscars have been tarnished this year which is so sad'. No. I'll reference the facts to make it easier for you to understand: Caucasians currently make up 90% or more of every Academy branch except actors, whose roster is 88% white. The Academy's executive branch is 98% white, as is its writers branch. Men compose more than 90% of five branches, incl. cinematography and visual effects. Of the Academy's 43-member board of governors, six are women; Public relations executive Cheryl Boone Isaacs is the sole person of colour. Racist? Sexist? Undoubtedly.
I'm not going to directly address the rest of your post because I'm not black, but saying they're being 'super sensitive and fragile' is frankly a joke, and unless you, your friends, your family, your culture, your community had spent 60-odd years fighting for their freedom, you possibly couldn't understand their frustration for simply wanting to be treated like everyone else, a human being, and not just a race of people who have spent most of their existence on this planet as inferior humans.
