For the Soul Train rebuttal...
Um...NO. The whole thing is stupid. In its ENTIRETY! The second paragraph is the longest run-on sentence EVER. They use the first like 3 paragraphs totally BASHING BET/BET.com, then proceed to say they have the utmost respect.
Then they say this:
"the recipient of an annual Aretha Franklin Award for "Entertainer of the Year," does not require that the honoree sound like Aretha Franklin, look like Aretha Franklin, have as many hits as Aretha Franklin or, even remotely, resemble Aretha Franklin, in terms of overall stature and reputation, to even the smallest degree..."
Then why on EARTH name it after ARETHA FRANKLIN??? What kinda sh--ty boo boo??
And how UNprofessional is the last sentence???
And as for the "White-owned" statements...please. Over 16,000 people have signed the petition. I don't think anyone of them are "OWNED" by anyone. We just all agree that Ashanti is NOT worthy of this award's namesake.
UGH!
