Black Folks Won Some $hit
The 41st Annual NAACP Image Awards were held Friday night.
Precious won a bunch of shit, and Tyler ‘Mammy’ Perry’s acceptance speech is said to be so moving that the next day, colleges received an overwhelming number of new applications from black folks, but the pink folks buried Affirmative Action right next to the word Nigger, so don’t order that cap and gown just yet, black folks.
Mary J. Blige won for Outstanding Female Artist and Outstanding Album for her Stronger With Each Tear.
Maxwell won for Outstanding Male Artist.
Black Eyed Peas won an award for Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration.
Whitney Houston won for Outstanding Music Video for her I Look To You.
I’m surprised Amber Rose didn’t win the iconic Woman of the Year Award. Where’s the Angry Black Dick when you really need his vote to count!
