Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Aretha Franklin, RIhanna and many many more black artists have won tens of Grammys. I don't think the Grammys have particularly snubbed black people over the last couple decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Phase won over Beyonce. 1989 (I adore the album) won over Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd and To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar (superior album) 25 won over Lemonade and this is only AOTY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there were better album released on their respective years? It's utterly delusional to think Beyoncé hasn't won AOTY because she's black.

If white artists had the best albums, I see no reason why there should be a black guy nominated, just because nominations must show diversity. What needs to "be represented" in an award show about music? Quality music or race? You are as racist as anyone else then. That is not how "representation" must be done, as an act of sympathy for other races. Sounds bitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
