The question I posed still remains a question. Is there a bias to the BET Awards? IF there is, which there may not be, is that a bad thing? It’s hard to say, and I don’t have that answer. What do you think?
More important to me was the fact that Mr. Don Cheadle
was recognized for his humanitarian work. Few entertainers or celebrities, African American or otherwise, have done as much as he has. He has brought attention on the plight of millions, and I think he has helped to improve those lives.
If his award helps to bring conversation and attention to this matter, then it was a great thing. His work in film, a book, and his organization Not On Our Watch stands out. In this nation with so much, there is just so little said or done about Darfur. If Mr. Cheadle was not as good an actor as he is, those things alone would make him newsworth.
But I expect no less from a man proficient at GO [I do play and would love to get a game with him] and poker. I look forward to his next film Talk To Me and his future humanitarian work. Congratulations on the well deserved Award.
Lastly I am surprised by the apology made by TI to Ludacris. It’s wildly uncommon to hear of such a thing, to any degree, especially in public. It’s so much better than how these things usually get resolved; bullets, fists and jail time. Maybe some in gangsta rap are starting to grow up.
This is what I think, what do you think?
