If you look back the person said "breaking racial barriers". Black and white aren't the only race out there and all those sales don't come from just white people ![Foxaylove 2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/f58a8b71.gif)

In the 80s There was only black and white in the US (for the most part in terms of the music industry).He Also made it possible for Black records to be nominated in the general fields (and not just r&b as Off the wall was) at the grammys which was the Main motivation for the creation of thriller.
Also the thriller sales mostly do come from whites in the uk (4m) as of now, There are about 1.8m blacks here (and when my parents were younger There were around 500k blacks). The Beatles easily got into places no black act could or ever will.
