      You mean like these 2 statements from the eighties and nineties? It’s always been there, just more extreme now. 1986 — “Reggae, for example, is to me the most racist music in the entire world. It’s an absolute total glorification of black supremacy… I don’t have very cast iron opinions on black music other than black modern music which I detest. I detest Stevie Wonder. I think Diana Ross is awful. I hate all those records in the Top 40 – Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston. I think they’re vile in the extreme… Obviously to get on Top Of The Pops these days, one has to be, by law, black,” he told Melody Maker.

      1992 — He was quoted in Q Magazine saying: “I don’t really think, for instance, black people and white people will ever really get on or like each other.”
