Only white artists were nominated for Best Children’s Album — and three of them have asked to be taken off the ballot. Artists of color in children’s music are fed up with the genre’s homogeneity: “It’s like being served a baked potato with fries and hash browns on the side,” says one black artist. [SNIP] “The Grammy Awards are the pinnacle. But they’re a part of this system that has been built with white superiority in mind, like all of our other systems in this country.”

Maybe the non-white should do a better job.

So there should be those nominated on merit and those nominated based on race? Maybe they should scrap the ceremony and just give everyone a participation Grammy.

My wife and I are 70 plus white folks in Wyoming. We listen to Christian music, classic rock and C & W. We don't watch the Grammys, the Oscars or any other entertainment awards programs. Does that make us racist?

No, wait, I have already been deemed to be racist. I was in law enforcement for 38 years. Working traffic on the Wyoming highways I would observe a violation long before I could identify the driver. But If I wrote a minority member a citation I was racist, whether I wrote all of the other non minority violators the same citation.

The children's category seems to be rewarding propaganda for the little ones.

This is at the bottom of the priority list and I suspect no one is interested besides the poster.

I haven't seem a Grammy show in at least 30 years, not something that I care even the slightest about.
Let these morons turn backflips through their own insane hoops, they are so irrelevant to anything real.

For me, the first thing that comes to mind when specifically pairing non-whites and children is Planned Parenthood. So maybe a black or brown author can make a book about black & brown cherubs in Heaven?

Grammy Awards, Academy Awards, Nobel Peace Prize, The NFL, NBA, MLB and my vote - things that no longer matter.

The only interest I have in the Grammys is how low the ratings are this year.

No mention of the fact that black music has sucked since about 1981. Young ghetto thugs will never come close to the works of Smoky Robinson, Percy Sledge, Tina Turner, Dianna Ross or even Michael Jackson.

Do these same people have any concerns about the Nothing But Africans sports entertainment media combine?
How about some Racial Parity in that crowd!
