MOBO Awards (yes this is the right catagory)

[naz_nomad]

In these days of political correctness gone mad, are the MOBO Awards taking the Pi**?

I'm sure the PC activists wouldn't allow us to call an award ceremony MOWO, would they?

[noxlumos]

I don't see why they wouldn't, it's music of black ORIGIN, origin being the important word, it's not just for black people, but inspired by black culture, therefore as long as your MOWO's were open to black people as well there would be no problem.

But we wouldn't be ''allowed'' to call it 'White', that's my point.

[mccfluff]

i think if you called anything 'white' there would be squeals of outrage, i was pondering this earlier Naz, seems a bit odd that things like this pass the pc brigade when anything that could be remotely rascist (white to coloured) is banned

[noxlumos]

I'm sorry I don't agree, I think it depends on how intelligently it's pitched to people. Pitch something intelligently enough and you leave them no room for maneouvre without looking like ignorant philistines.
The thing is, despite silly publicity to the contrary, you CAN still have black coffee, most black people have no objection to being called "coloured" as long as the speaker is speaking in a respectful manner etc etc etc.
The Pc brigade are only as powerful as anyone cares to allow them to be. Most black people are secure and savvy enough not to get upset at non-offensive trivia, and are usually quite p1ssed off that some white do-gooder has decreed what they should or should not find offensivewhen they clearly have no personal experience. I have personally never come across any of this politically correct sh1t in my life and I've lived and worked in London, liverpool, Manchester etc etc and never had any problems with any members of the community there black or white.
The Daily Mail etc stir all this nonsense up, you could call it the MOWO's and not get any critisism for it as long as you didn't pitch it as an backlash against what you clearly perceive as the racism of the MOBO's, it's only then it becomes offensive..

quite correct its ok for them to come here and say what they like but if we say the wrong thin were racist

[IggyB]

hahaha "they come here" - who exactly are you talking about - if its black people i think you'll find "they" are already here and have been for a long long time....

can you imagine what the MOWOs would sound like - it'd all be classical music, opra and morris men.... stick with the MOBOs i say

[naz_nomad]

Iggy ... It wasn't the content that was the issue, 'Black' music is way better than most, it was just the title I thought was racist.
