MTV's reluctance to play Michael Jackson's Billie Jean video with the position they were a "rock" channel and that only "rock" artists' videos would be broadcast, MJ was not considered a "rock" artist at the time before Beat It and many industry people accused the channel of racism for not playing black artists' videos which was a bullshite accusation.
