LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite his recently tarnished image, crooner Chris Brown may win an NAACP Image Award.
The 19-year-old singer, who's accused in a domestic dispute that reportedly involves pop superstar Rihanna, is in the running for outstanding male artist at the 40th annual awards. The awards are being presented Thursday night at the Shrine Auditorium and airing on Fox.
Brown won the outstanding male artist trophy last year.
Rihanna, his longtime girlfriend, is up for outstanding female artist.
It's unclear if either Brown or Rihanna will attend. Both canceled their appearances and performances at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
Other nominees for outstanding male artist are Common, Jamie Foxx, John Legend and will.i.am. Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and Mariah Carey are also nominated for outstanding female artist.
Over 30 awards honoring television, film, music and literature are to be handed out in categories such as outstanding reality series, literary work, jazz artist, music video and documentary.
Television shows including "The Game," ''Tyler Perry's House of Payne," ''Ugly Betty," ''Everybody Hates Chris" and "Grey's Anatomy" are nominated for multiple awards. "Cadillac Records," ''Miracle at St. Anna," ''The Secret Life of Bees," ''Seven Pounds" and "The Family That Preys" are nominated for outstanding motion picture.
The 40th annual Image Awards coincide with the 100th anniversary



of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and will kick off a yearlong centennial celebration.

you mean besides endorse obama? Proof that all you need in this country is black skin color to avoid scandal in the world of pop-stars. It's funny I'm taking all these race, crime and equality classes at FSU (it's enough to make you gag) then this stuff surfaces and my teachers will not even hint that it is a debatable subject. It seems only white males are capable of despicable crime...

[Jarid332]

I was watching the first half hour of those awards at my friends Mom's house and they started showing KFC commercials.. We all laughed so hard haha

[odeezie]

Yeah exactly what I was thinking...:8/

At yearend 2007 there were 3,138 black male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 black males in the United States, compared to 1,259 Hispanic male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 Hispanic males and 481 white male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 white males.

haha, I know I was being sarcastic. My classes are a little ridiculous. Facts are widely used, just opinions of white stereotypical racism towards minorities.

Brown is up for the hotly contested, "beeyotch-slappinest" category.

You guys are RACIST. Stop pointing the differences out. If there are differences it's because of the white man. So lets not bring them up. Instead lets focus on giving them a leg up by setting quotas in our admission and hiring practices.

i love triple 5's answer hahahaha
I think that is a joke and personally if i was black i would take offense. They want equality (or so they say) so give them that not an advantage!

I think you took him wrong Deez, if I were making that statement, I would have finished it with:

"and having it recognized as such by the black community as a whole."

But he could have meant it in an assholish way as well!

[CR125guy]

SWEET! Prison stats, I like stats :)

Yeah, that could be misconstrued easily....Im just saying that black males are incarcerated at an amazing rate compared to others....I think the few lines before the one I quoted set the tone...as if having black skin color enables you to get off without charge. Thats nuts, Madoff stole 50 billion dollars and he is chilling in his luxury manhattan apartment...this dude only slapped a *****....alot. :lol:

That makes total sense. The problem is with the interperatation of what is equal. Equal to you and I is probably the same. Same rules for everyone. To them, they feel as if the same rules aren't applied to everyone and that they are at a disadvantage. Hence, affirmative action and quotas. To them it's fair. It's like a golf handicap.

If they were better workers they would get hired more frequently. More people today care about making a profit than they do racism. They blame racism for their own personal problems. By doing that they just bring down the entire race.



You know why they are incarcerated more? It's because they commit more crimes. Many of them are repeat offenders and the only way to handle them is throwing them in the slammer.

Thats why evaluation based on color is ****ING BULL****! Treat everyone as an individual. Lumping them in based on their color is ****ing ridiculous.

[250 man]

Look, if you cant be accountable for your own actions youre pretty much a pice of Sh*t. Lets not single out anyone whos skin is different color! Some people are just a** holes its a fact of life you need to understand.

[O'Brien#12]

2,4,6,8, what do we appreciate....atheism, atheism ATHEISM :-D
Nah just kidding! :-)

As for Madoff.....he will get his comeuppance. He will think it's ok to slap a ***** then one day a ***** will slap back, she will just happen to be MMA trained!!
