It would seem that all words which describe black people will become patronizing, condescending and racist.
I think 'black' sounds unpleasant but it appears to be the one favoured by them at present.
Do you consider Irish-American and all the other nationalities in the same way or is it that African is not specific enough?

True. Coloured people, West Indians, darkies, blacks, and many more (some of which I wouldn't dare to mention on here) have all come and gone. If all of these words are 'unacceptable', it must be something else...
I'm only interested in why someone outside of america is interested.

I think the MOBO awards are racist but there's nothing I can do about it.

I don't think MOBO is racist but I can imagine a bit of a reaction if there were MOWO awards.
Or a National White Police Association to mirror the National Black Police Association.
Or a men only club

Just a whiff of "I'm not a racist but" floating around here together with a healthy dose of ignorance. Both tend to go together.
To help you out, MOBO stands for music of black origin. It apparently applies to some sort of urban music which I'm not keen on and not proper blues which I am.
I presume you think it is awards for black artists? It isn't. Joss Stone has won for instance.
