I grew up with Micheal Jackson and anyone’s passing before their time is sad. However I must say, a bit of revisionist history is taking place within the Black community & Harlem.
Michael Jackson is a lot of things, and one of those is a Black person who spared no expense and did everything possible to diminish & shed his “Blackness” through countless nose jobs, thinning of his lips, bleaching of his skin, shedding the curly black hair, you name it..he did it.
Sorry, it has to be said. He’s a man that on World Wide TV justified the legitimacy and rightful place for a grown man in his 40′s to sleep with young boys in the bed. He’s also a man that paid off a family $20,000,000 to make the sexual pedofilia charges go away. He settled a case for $20 MILLION. He settled a SECOND case for $10,000,000. And it’s said there are 2 other cases wherein families accused him of sexual acts with this young boys wherein Michael paid the families off in the tune of several million to not bring charges against him.
Michael Jackson was a lot of things, but one of them was also in my opinion indisputably a pedofile. Sorry, making hit records and entertaining people does not override and trump the sexually abusing children (in my book).
I am sorry he died, but I am also sorry people give celebrity license to be criminal free of judgment. If you look at the facts of Michael Jackson free of the music (the efforts to escape Black physical identity, the sleeping with young boys, the pay offs to families of children he’s slept with…) if you viewed the facts separate from the music, not a single person celebrate his death and label him for what he truly was (a very wealthy pedofile that hated being Black).
