Watch this 1983 interview of David Bowie skewering Mark Goodman on MTV about the lack of black artists being played on the channel.
Seriously, watch it. David Bowie is so goddamn brilliant.

My goodness is that cringey. Bowie is a goddam boss, and Goodman is parroting mealy-mouthed excuses that HAD to have sounded racist even then.
"It's not that we're racist. It's just that we cater to racists. So you can imagine what a difficult job that is for us."
And I'm only halfway through.

Okay but if you need your enthusiasm to be tempered just remember he was one of the many full adults at that time having sex with 15-year-old girls.
