Gay Men of African Descent (GMAD) and National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) have announced that they stand with GLAAD in its petition drive and advocacy work protesting the recent Grammy nomination of Buju Banton. The Recording Academy should re-think their criteria for Grammy nominees. They probably would not nominate a performer a reputation for advocating the killing of African Americans or Jews in 2009 (they admit that they have awarded Grammys to racists in the past).
