Sometimes I believe that I can fly... but once I search behind me for some wings and glare up to the sky, I realize that all I have is a daydream and an empty back. Now tell me, how can you fly with that?

Justin Bieber Nominated for a BET Award! … Wait What

I’m happy that Justin has been so successful lately. He’s a strong young man and he takes a lot of crap from people because of his age, music, height, etc. 

However, I’m really confused about him being nominated for “Best New Artist” at the BET Awards. Uhmmm what Justin isn’t African-American.

No, but honestly, I take some offense to this. The BET Awards is one of the only places on TV where young Black artists can be recognized. First off, Justin isn’t African-American, he’s Caucasian. Now, a lot of people might say “oh, well Eminem has been nomiated! Didn’t Robin Thicke get an award? Timberlake is on BET!” etc., but Justin’s Bieber’s music isn’t solely R&B and Hip-Hop, it’s Pop. That’s what makes the difference. So, can anyone give me some good reasons as to why he’s being nominated?
