What about Holly G of the Black Opry? Gina Waters Miller would be another good option. Maybe the BET awards will award her with something. Yeah. Exactly. if you’re black you can win BET Awards and that’s it. No CMA. No CMT. Nothing else. Man, your posts read like that of a racist. Not saying you are one but your posts are exactly how a racist talks.

Not saying you are one but your posts are exactly how a racist talks. In the last two years just going by the ACM awards and CMT awards, black people have been represented very fairly. Kane Brown has won video of the year and male video of the year, along with many more nominations. Jimmie Allen has been nominated for vocalist of the year and won for best new male vocalist. Mickey Guyton has a handful of nominations and plenty of performances on the big stage. There has been a black host for almost every award show including Allen, Guyton, Darius Rucker, Kane, and Anthony Mackie. Singers like Breland, Britney Spencer, and Blanco Brown have also performed multiple times on those shows. One random ACM Honors show that doesn’t award a black person doesn’t mean the world is coming to an end.

I do think things are getting better with awards shows. There will always be room for improvement, however. The fact that Jimmy Allen won New Artist at the past CMA's over Gabby Barrett (who had a much larger year commercial wise and seemed to be the frontrunner) does tell me that it seems like they are at least starting to change their ways. He also made the cut for best new artist at the Grammy's. I know CMT has also been a big advocate for changing the narrative, and did nominate a good many African American country artists this past CMT (Britney Spencer, Breland, Mickey, Kane, Jimmy, Blanco Brown), so I feel like they did their part, but if the fans don't vote for them then its out of their hands. I would love for more people to get a chance however. I really would love for Mickey to break through, but it seems due to her poor streaming numbers, even after her label pushed and pushed her (she was on numerous major outlets and seems like she was everywhere for promoting her album) she's just not connecting for whatever reason.

One random ACM Honors show that doesn’t award a black person doesn’t mean the world is coming to an end. All of these statements you just made are true, but your prior one-liner about the BET Awards definitely came across poorly as it looked like you were suggesting that the country awards shows weren't a valid place to award black artists. Thank you for expanding on your position and providing more context that was missing from your initial post on the subject. Lil Nas X is arguably the biggest black representative in popular music right now and he received 0 nominations from the BET Awards this year, so the problems with awards shows shutting people out who may be deserving of recognition is certainly not isolated to the country music sphere.

It would be cool if the BET Awards or others added a country category.

I’d give them props if it wasn’t so many decades late, but still… it’s progress.
I plan on going to my first CMA Fest next year, so this is really pleasant news, and hopefully keeps some of the worst people away.

Yeah it's very late and also they helped build the foundation of white supremacy that led to the flag being what it has become, but better late than never? I'm also not sure how this is enforceable, per se, so I am interested to see how it plays out.

Honestly I was at CMA Fest the last three years they had it and I don’t remember ever seeing any confederate flags anyway.

Also not big on “Automatic” myself but I don’t think it was a bad single choice at all. I recognize why it did well and is liked. I just wouldn’t miss it if it was gone.

I know a majority of her big fans are highly anticipating the day it falls out of her setlist which probably won’t happen because she seems to take the it was a number 1 to heart 🫣 I’ll take All Kinds of Kinds over it any day.

Typical courts lowering charges. A car is a weapon when used that way, period.

But the fact that he's been deemed guilty at all is a win in my book, especially since there were so many nasty comments flooding social media when the story broke that Sara Evans was lying about the incident and/or armchair detectives hearing the events and deciding for themselves that Jay Barker trying to run her over with his car was just totally unbelievable and out of character for him. It's better than nothing. GUILTY. Bye Jay. Here's to hoping Sara's future third husband is the one to (finally) do right by her.

Toby Keith was diagnosed with stomach cancer. He’s had surgery, Chemo and Radiation. I hope he makes a full recovery.

‘Ultra’ sounds like it could be the name of a superhero.
