Mobo staff protecting 'urban' artists	Hey 'urban' sponsors, are YOU on this list? Hang on, what does the poster say 'Responsibility is an ugly word for Capitalists'. Hmm.

We convened at the MOBO awards ceremony 2003 to voice our objection to ALL those in the so-called music industry who continue to make money from the continued and sustained exploitation of our community.

Negative Representation
We object to the music and media industry’s support, promotion and awarding of artists who;

• promote the ownership of illegal firearms.
  
• promote the ideology of shooting others for money, ‘respect’, personal enjoyment or drugs.
  
• have previously engaged in criminal activity and refuse to show remorse for their crimes or tell their story as a warning to others, preferring to use their status to approve, glamorise and encourage illegal behaviour.
  
• make public statements outside or within their music stating their intention to commit a criminal offence.
  
• make comments likely to incite a minor to commit a criminal offence
  
• consistently record music with violent, misogynistic, and offensive content.

We are also here to state that the continued devaluation and disrespect shown towards women in our community is utterly unacceptable. The vast majority of ‘urban’ music videos broadcasted on such mediums as MTV Base continue to promote sexist and deeply misogynistic values. Women are portrayed as inanimate objects, who exist purely for the purpose of male sexual gratification and domination.

Not only does this seriously devalue and undermine the perception of women in society, but also it has a damaging effect on young women in our community.
