LOS ANGELES — Barack Obama didn't attend the BET Awards, but that didn't stop attendees from talking about him. As she picked up her award for best female R&B artist, Alicia Keys told the crowd that it's time for black people to erase the word "can't" from their vocabulary. "Together we can do anything," she said, playing on the Democrat's "Yes We Can" mantra before shouting: "Obama y'all!" Alicia Keys accepts the award for best female R&B artist
