    Most modern music is of black origin. I'm sure the Scottish folk award don't have many entrants "of colour"

    You certainly can

    Get out your lute, wave your 'kerchiefs and get round that maypole for a jolly good knees-up.

    why is it racist?

    i assume that your point is that it would be frowned upon to have a MOWO awards and an assoc of white police officers? in that case i think you're raising a good point.

    the assoc of black police officers were set up to help its members in seeking equality in possibly the most inherently and institutionally racist organisation in this country.

    why should we not have an assoc of white police officers? there is no reason why we shunt. Question i'd want to ask is why were they being set up.

    Not at all, white people win them, it's just about music of black origin, doesn't mean that the winners have to be black.
