So, your two above sentences contradict each other.
If these black people at that Awards Show do not represent an entire race, then that incident means nothing.
This is actually my point about that.
Your point was that Black people should be really happy with pride that white people make some Black artists more famous by buying their records to make them sell more. That white validation gives them an "elevated status" which implies it makes Black artists more important. That still doesn't change the fact that in general, white audiences bought more records of white artists doing the same thing Black artists are doing and Black artists had to "crossover" from the R&B radio "ghetto". Now that doesn't mean anything. Especially if they are only seeing Black people as entertaining them like singers, dancers, or playing basketball/football. You also said that rock music (considered to be "white music" although it was originally developed by Black artists) should be rated above R&B (considered to be "Black music") because rock takes more talent to do. Which is saying the music of KISS is more complex than the productions of Charles Stepney. You've also said in other threads that Mike shouldn't have done New Jack Swing, like it was beneath him to do that.
If R&B is an inferior music, then why do all of those white artists get influenced by it? How are a lot of people in the UK big fans of what they call "Northern Soul" and spend hundreds of dollars on rare soul music 45s. How do you explain the music of many European artists (Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, The Beatles, Loose Ends, 5 Star, Jamiroquai, Brand New Heavies, The Who, Soul II Soul, George Michael, Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac, Eric Claption, Sade, Lisa Stansfield, Swing Out Sister, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, etc).
it is not necessarily a bad thing when a black artist achieves wider commercial and chart success via crossover music (to a white audience).
Besides, this would make that black artist even more famous, meaning also it would give that artist an elevated status among black, African-American people.
