Kanye West's VMA Stunt As Seen Through a Racial Lens?

Imagine a 19 year old Alicia Keys winning a VMA award. Then imagine Eminem barging onto the stage out of nowhere, grabbing the mic from Alicia, and pointing out to the audience that Brittney Spears had one of the best videos ever and should have won. Then imagine Eminem handing the mic back to Alicia, at which point she does not finish her acceptance speech and appears to want to cry. If the events that transpired at the 2009 VMAs were to have occurred in this manner m hysteria would have followed. There would have been a national movement about racism in our country. Black leaders would have voiced their opinions about the status of white/black relations in America today. Obama would have had a summit at the White House to discuss racism and its prevelance in our society. But Eminem did not take away Alicia Keys' award. The aforementioned hypothetical scenario did not occur. So in turn there are no conversations about race happening anywhere. No one has even mentioned race in regards to this event. Why is this?
