Luther Vandross got his start singing backup for David....for those who didn't know.

He was one of the most vocal about getting black artist airtime on MTV.

Now the term white supremacy in this case seems vague but if you are referring to something where he helped blacks against racial and social injustice this was a start :manny:
yr in a thread in which clowns are here just to say they don't know who he is

He was married to a black woman and fought for black artists to be played on MTV :martin:

Beyonce. Jay-Z. Kanye West. When MTVlaunched in 1981, viewers would have been hard-pressed to find black artists, such as the three named above, on its airwaves. The network so sparingly showcased African Americans in its early days that musicians such as Rick James and David Bowie publicly took it to task, leaving no doubt that MTV and black music have had a rocky history.
congrats.. its still fukk him :mjlol:

While his music wasn't as far reaching into every day society regardless of race like say the band Queen. You've heard Under Pressure either in it's original form or that b*stardized version from Vanilla Ice.
"Buh buh I changed the beat! I added two bass notes! It's a new composition!":mjlol:



Is this because of his Nazi Memorabilia or you've tales of him doing/thinking/saying racist shyt?



Looks like I gotta make a Bowie Playlist to go along with Lemmy's now.:francis:
Also gotta look for my copy of Omikron to play alongside Brutal Legend too.
R.I.P. Ziggy.:salute:


With lemmy i admit the details are sketchy on his racism. Someone need to compile a proper best of Bowie mixtape..the type thecoli would appreciate. Over the weekend my boy played his black star track and little did we know he's be gone in a day or two. Rip.
