In reply to Adrian.

The fact that she's a black woman has everything to do with it. She's the black woman chosen to spoon feed the general population, who will watch, about black culture(Selma). If you notice, unlike twenty years ago, there are only a couple of black women they chose to do that nowadays. They are the only black women who get their music funded, and you'll only see them perform on these big shows. Will I never get a chance to see a vocal talent like Ledisi on a stage as grand as the Grammys again? Why only segregate her to BET? When was the last time they had a TRUE r&b act performing on the grammys? Soon I'm sure they will delete the category all together. So yes, I think this very much has to do with race.
