It's funny that so many whites are upset with each other about who won and who lost at the Emmy awards. How much more upset would they have been if blacks had won awards they felt they should have gotten? Or would they have just sat there silently, saying nothing, knowing they would get their own back the following year by blocking blacks from getting any awards? How many awards didn't blacks get that they deserved? How many years were we denied? I was watching the night Halle Berry was given her Oscar for Monster's Ball, and if that sister never does another thing in life, or garner's another award, I will always applaud her for that moment when she accepted the statue on behalf of all the sisters who had gone on before her, doing great work in film and yet never being recognized due to racism. I just wish whites would be a little more appreciative of all that they have and can get their hands on than they are while keeping others from getting theirs.
