Quoted from source:
Some of the landmark moments for MTV include the airing of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" in 1983, making it the first song by a black artist to gain play on the network. Nine months later, John Landis directed a record-setting $1.1 million video for the 14-minute "Thriller."

I don't recall what black artist first aired on MTV. I recall they complained that there were no black artist on MTV. so they started playing black videos. Michael Jacksons Billie Jean was the first video to air on MTV and was played in heavy rotation, but he was not the first black artist to air a video on MTV.

"Dont push me cause Im close to the edge, I just might lose my head." Its goes something like that and the video is a guy walking down the street in daytime and I think theres a boombox somewhere, dont know name but Im sure this was first black artist featured on MTV. It was NOT micheal jackson people!

I was thinking it was "Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson.
"Billie Jean" (which was the first music video by a black artist to receive regular airplay on MTV), ....see, I told you.
