accusations that Motown had sold out

Explanation:

Berry Gordy is an American record executive, record producer, songwriter, film producer and television producer who founded Motown Records label.

Berry Gordy's desire to appeal to white audiences prompted criticism and accusations that Motown sold out to white America and this is due to the fact that Motown was a black-owned, black-centered business which arrived at the height of the civil rights movement during that century and the basic common stand that blacks must support blacks through business led to those accusations.
