MTV VMAs

It's the "R" word again. Racism. But wait...is it racism if a black man makes a statement, during a white girl's acceptance speech, that a black woman's work was the "best in the world"? Or would it be racism if a white guy interrupted a black girl to tell the audience about a white woman's video? Seems to me that the people who scream the "R" word are the most racist. Why is it only racism when it suits people? Why is racism a continued excuse?

One day we'll get it right. Till then, kudos to Beyonce' for her class, Taylor for her grace, Russell for his tactful humor, and shame on Kanye.
