The Same December video question

In the video, what was the significance of the clip of Prince accepting the 1985(?) American Music Award? He was wearing a sequined black hooded outfit, but the clip doesn't seem to blend with the lyrics.

MOst of the video focused on him and various allusions to his fight with WB, but I thought the song was about race relations.

What gives?
