Not all gospel music performed in the South is by whites, of course, but the racial complexities invested in the term gospel remain strong in the 21st century. This is illustrated by the decades-old racial divides that find Sunday-morning church services largely segregated into black and white congregations. Another example is the National Academy of Recorded Arts and Sciences's use of the terms "Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album" and Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album" (African-American) and "Best Southern, Country, or Bluegrass Gospel Album" (Anglo-American) to make these racial distinctions utterly clear when it comes to voting in the Grammy categories. Not surprisingly, the 2005 Dove Awards, adminstered by the Gospel Music Association, utilize fifty categories, including "Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year", "Southern Gospel Album of the Year", "Bluegrass Recorded Song of the Year", "Urban Album of the Year", "Spanish Language Album of the Year" and "Short Form Music Video of the Year". These categories reflect not only the fact that organizations love to give out awards, but also that the gospel world is complex, with race and ethnicity and technology all part of a rich social gumbo."
