(But in fairness to ‘em, they are still leaps ahead of the B.E.T. Awards—who are next year bestwoing their Lifetime Achievement Award on rapper Eve!)
*blinking*
You have GOT to be kidding.
Congrats to the honorees...

Oh, you have GOT to be kidding! >:( Thought I could loosen up on the BET boycott but nope. Who am I kidding - I'd wouldn't watch even if Jesus became CEO.

No dis to Obba Babatunde -- but was Haywood Nelson unavailable to instead receive an honor on that night? Oh, NAACP, you've done it again!

Niecy Nash is hosting a theatre awards event which will honor Diahann Carroll and Obba Babatunde. Yep, that's the NAACP for you.
