*theRoot’s annual Wypipo Awards celebrates fragile white folks who complain constantly about having to endure such things as Black history month, Black Lives Matter and that “the BET Awards, the NAACP Awards and even the Soul Train Awards are inherently racist because they are limited to black people.”
According to theRoot, not everyone is eligible for these honors. Only the small subset of white people called “wypipo”—those who trade in privilege, hate and what our panelists call “white people s–t”—are eligible to receive a nomination.
Below are some of the nominees and winners of the 2016 Wypipo Awards.
The White-Tears Award
Nominees:
- White conservatives: For their anger over the unapologetic blackness of Beyoncé’s Lemonade;

- All wypipo: For their outrage over the Harriet Tubman $10 bill.
And the winner is: Abigail Fisher.
