Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 the MOBO's started after Craig David was snubbed at the britsCraig David? Jesus, that's like someone starting a Wrestling of Black Origin Award because Meltzer didn't give Cheex the 2002 Lou Thesz/Ric Flair Award.You mean you don't remember Matt Jarrett's Negro Wrestling Federation?

Loki Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 It's kind of like holding yearly rallies now for women's suffrage. That ship has already sailed, black music (particularly rap and r&b) now rules the world. Calling attention to race in such a universal language as music is entirely pointless and smacks of casual racism.Edit Galaxy is right - Jimi Hendrix was as black as they come, and he was the greatest rock guitarist ever. If the MOBOs had existed then I wonder if he'd have been eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
