What do you think of the nominations?
If a white man beat a black woman and left her on the side of the road, that man would be vilified. But, when a black man does it – let’s give him AWARDS!
Black people really do hate black women,
But solange beat jay z In that elevator and she still has a career today
Some few months after solange violently attacked Jay z in that elevator, She won a grammy and her album a seat at the table hit number 1.
Black people really hate black men
BRANDY!!!!!! I hope she gets Album Of The Year!!
Brandy deserves to win all categories she’s nominated in
But won’t~
Ghetto Trash!
