Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?

Here we go again, condemning the “white guy” for criticizing a culture that celebrates grotesque overt sexuality (which is anything but sexy) and minimal talent seemingly because the “stars” of that culture (in the case of the Grammys) happen to be mostly of color. Does the fact that I find it shameful that the greatness of true artists of color is not taught to young people and celebrated to serve as an uplifting example of what is possible make me “clueless”? I don’t think so. Btw, I also don’t recall anyone mentioning color before the “white guy” comments started. Isn’t that the way it often is? Just who is it that always seems to view everything through the prism of race? When more understand the answer to that question is when the culture will become better and more enlightened.

Frogman, 
As you surely know we are in the era of identity politics so white folks (particularly men) are fair game and attacks toward them are encouraged.  As a "person of color" there's undeniable  irony  that I come to their defense but I detest dishonest and destructive ideological BS. 

The idea that if you are white you can't be critical of the behavior or actions of people of color is nonsense. People can most certainly be judged on both their words and actions. I don't have any reservations about criticizing white people when I believe that it's appropriate,  the converse should be equally acceptable. 

Frogman I share the same disappointment regarding the (appalling) lack of knowledge, respect and appreciation for the many outstanding genuine artists of color who's legacy is virtually forgotten by the majority of their descendants.

There are still genuine artists as they’ve always been in any time of day of different colors and cultures
Grammy does belong to “white people” in the sense of their show off life style not really color

What you can't be critical of is cultures that are what they are because of
 long term oppression by others .
