@NathanZed @jadapsmith I'm not going this year or next tbh

@jadapsmith @EricJDickey Tell us again about BET awards? Oh wait, blacks only.No whites ever.

@Cobradriver99TT @jadapsmith nothing black is all black. No fraternity no sorority no university. Research before you tweet.

@EricJDickey @Cobradriver99TT @jadapsmith except scholarships for blacks. There are over a thousand college scholarships for blacks only.

@pb_joan Many groups are awarded scholarships. Women. Jewish scholarships. Disabled. American Indian College Fund.

@EricJDickey BUT, not a single one where you only qualify if you are "white". Because that would be racist.

@pb_joan Thomas G. Labrecque Smart Start Program Scholarships. Gen and Kelly Tanabe Scholarships. And others. Research before tweeting,

@jadapsmith @Tara_Moss There are always people who think they have missed out on prizes. Making it about race without proof is poor form.

@ScorpioGCoast @jadapsmith I'd check the stats on the poor representation of people of colour at these awards before talking 'poor form'.

@Tara_Moss @jadapsmith It might be because the majority of the academy are 60+ males. Might be because people aren't seen to be good enough.

@Tara_Moss @jadapsmith Any arbitrary award is going to have bias. That's the nature of arbitrary decisions.

@ScorpioGCoast @jadapsmith I'm not sure how 'arbitrary' it is to continually see the merit in white performers and so rarely others.

@Tara_Moss @jadapsmith You said it yourself. It's about inherent bias.
