Playing Devil's Advocate...
I was just thinking...
If this petition wasn't about a Soul Train award... if it was something else geared toward African-Americans - a political, educational, or civil rights issue - how many signatures would there be on the petition?
How many folks who "voted" on the petition actually vote in real life? The article on MSNBC said that this is the biggest on-line petition response ever. When's the last time we (as African-Americans) received press coverage for being 20,000+ strong behind a real issue?
I think that's a pretty sad commentary...
