Damon's love and support of black music and artists sets the standard for other white artists. He uses his privilege and platform to uplift marginalized voices without once taking credit from those artists. 2/3rds of Gorillaz collaborators are POC. In 1993 Damon called mainstream rock racist.

Attention white musicians with huge platforms, this is how you be anti racist. Privilege used for good.
