I know that MTV covers hip hop music as well as all of the flavors of rock music but does BET cover rock music? All I ever saw musically there was rap.

There are rock bands with black performers. MTV seems to ignore this as well.

I hear that MTV added hip hop to the mix because they were accused of racism. I hear that no black artists appeared on MTV until Michael Jackson. What of Prince and Little Red Corvette and 1999? What of Eddy Grant, Electric Avenue? What of Musical Youth, Pass the Doochie(sp?)? There were other examples of a diversified playlist.
