48. African American? Unless you're FROM Afria - Kiss my ass!

I was BORN in American... so TECHNICALLY I am a NATIVE American... Where's my casino and land damn it!!

AND - my great-great-great grandfather was in Sherman's March! He HELPED FREE black Americans! Racism does NOT run in my family!!

50. Go rockin Robin!

I dated Robin a while ago before his marriage. He's a great guy and the sweetest! He sings from the soul and that's what BET is about, sangin' from the soul!

Good luck and congrats on your nomination. Justin Timberfake is not singin' from the soul. He's not real.

51. oh god, here we go with black history month.........that has to be the most racist thing that exists. And people always say "well everyday is white history" and i beg to differ. I for one and not tooting around all day celebrating white history everyday, is anyone else????

52. Robin Thicke has a beautiful voice. Numerous people thought that he was black over the radio but when they saw the videos, they were shocked. His video ambushed me also. He deserves to win the B.E.T. award because he may be white yet he indeed has soul.

53. #49 - I need NO lesson in History... and where I'M from, Chinese New Year is completely ignored. But we are smuthered in facts about famous, sucessful black Americans.

So - it's the shortest month of the year!! ~and~ ??? You still didn't answer my other inquires... Irish? Italian? Jewish? How come each month I am not smothered in little facts and tid-bits about what THESE cultrures have contributed to the America we all share?

57. MTV began...

WHEN?!

They don't/barely even play VIDEOS anymore!! Hullo!!

Where talking about N-O-W... BET is STILL promoting racism! I'm not saying the networks or award shows have been fair... but BET seems to CELEBRATE the fact they are racists!

58. Robert Thicke deserves to win this award - that album is off the hook - just like Justin Timberlake's album should have been R& B. Music doesn't have "color" associated with sound . . it's just good music ! . . He's the Bobby Caldwell of this millenium !

59. I think it would be funny if he wins. Blacks have won awards on other shows that are predomintely white (according the Revs>) It is about time a white person wins on a black chow. How about a white Miss Black USA or America?
