"David Bowie calling out MTV for not playing Black music videos."


  

          

I didn't know about this until last week when MTV posted it in FB. I wish I would've seen this back in the day. It definitely helps when I debate morons who use the "a White Entertainment channel would be called racist" whenever they gripe about BET being a double standard. This shows why a BET was made in the first place:

it's no secret that MTV was (and still is) capitulating to racist mindsets, but because Bowie is clearly aware this guy is full of shit in his responses.
