It's not a secret MTV people were racist pricks to Michael in the early 80's and increased their biasness towards him in his last years.

After Billie Jean, Jackson’s Beat It followed the same year. Next came Thriller, a 14-minute short film, and the first of its kind. "For the first time in the history of MTV, we spotted big time ratings spikes," says Garland. "We were averaging back in those days like a 24 hour rating of 1.2, but every time we would play Thriller, we’d jump up to an 8 or 10. We learned a lot about programming."
Jackson‘s videos helped break the color barrier at MTV. More videos by Black artists, most notably Prince, were then aired.
"Fortunately, Michael Jackson helped us to redefine the musical parameters of MTV, "says Brindle, "and to help its audience become accepting of a more diverse group of artists and genres".

It's threads like this that make people think MJ fans are mental.
ummm what I saw is that Rhianna did was she actually mentioned MJ's name in her acceptance while MTV did not mention his name... I'm grateful for that..
How is this making us look mental?
If anything it makes MTV look crazy and disrespectful.
MTV showed their asses and MJ fans are reacting (and rightfully so).
I saw some people that weren't even MJ fans denouncing what MTV did on Twitter.
"some people", "some people".
So ****ing what? A few people don't hold Michael Jackson in the same deity vision that you do?
Why do you care so much what a few people think, or what this MTV graphic may insinuate (it doesn't by the way).
No other artist in history is revered or has the lasting influence MJ has and his record sales also prove that. It's not as if he was this unknown artist that struggled to sell an albumor win an award.
Why are you always making he was hard done by?
I don't view Michael as a deity so shut up about something you know nothing about, and the "some people" I mentioned were DEFENDING MICHAEL and DENOUNCING MTV, not laughing at or criticizing Michael, so I don't get your point in bolding "some people."
Michael pretty much put MTV on the map with Thriller (and AFTER they had to be forced and coerced into playing his videos because he was black), so for MTV to turn around and do this is disrespectful as shit.
Also, lets be honest, nothing was insinuated and what it meant was VERY CLEAR, which was f*** everyone who's face was there including Michael's, and on his birthday no less.
Lastly, it's pretty much a fact that people have and still do wrong by Michael, so I hardly make anything up.

I expect this tho.
they just look ignorant to me, also aggressive marketing sells these days.
