Remembering Michael Jackson Pt 1: Rev Al Sharpton's Speech for MJ's Memorial Service at the Apollo

[vivx03]

The hatred got worse when Michael started to look white!

[vivavegas1988]

he is such a great speaker

[4children2]

Right on Reverend Al Sharpton. God speaks through His Preachers. Preach Rev. Al.

I love you, from DD on the Eastside of Detroit, Michigan. I listen to you everyday. Preach, Preacher! God uses you to shine the light on darkness. You are a truth speaker and you spoke very well on behalf and in defence of our beloved Michael Jackson. God Bless you. Rev. Al Sharpton a Godly Genius.

DAMN! AMAZING SPEECH!!! I LOVE YOU MOST MICHAEL!

[msblossom77]

wish there's a text on this..., I cant get it all... my english not good

[Raesolutions]

Powerful, Mr. Sharpton, marvelously powerful! Thank you! We love you, MJ.

[reesesncreme]

there was a lone fedora with the aviators on it and a single glove hanging from the brim...it was the saddest thing i think i ever seen..thats when his absence really started sinking in for me..

[mymanjay]

I think that he maybe a photo op but he is speaking a little bit of the truth because Michael Jackson was a guy that made and changed history. He was the man but to make the political comparisons I think is crazy.

[Zunshine83]

Before making a real progress in politics, you've to impact the culture and that's what MJ did which in effect allowed for greater change to happen. In addition if you listen to several of MJ's music they are highly socially conscious and advocated upon pressing global issues... reasons why I personally adored the man. He did it all before anyone!

[rebelsuck]

Mr photo-op has done so much to heal racial wounds. Just can't think of any example at the moment. Brawly?white interlopers?Jew bashing? maybe it was the time he went to visit Arafat his palestianian clone?

[MsMrslewis]

do not comment if you do not know what your'e talking about i hate ignorant people that do not read and know the truth beside ignorants. please say what you want and thats thatss its the truth and God surly sent him to this sin ful country of greed America kills thier phrophets and great great men and Gods tired of this country and this country is coming to terrible end if they do not correct thier self real soon now the coutries are laughing at this ignorant country and its all true face it..

[xsen196]

damn, this guy is a freakin beast. this is an amazing speech, as well as the one he gave at the memorial

[MissMoti]

Nothing wierd about michael, what's weird is what he's had to deal with!

spot on!

[SimplyFabulouzTV]

lmao someone corrected him lmao

[FoxyValerie]

OMG i watched it on dutch television the whole service... :( It was soo sad I cried like 20 times! :( So emotional especially when Paris talked OMG SO SAD!!! :(

Love you M.J. Rest In Peace

[derajem]

the only weird about him was where in the world did he got his strength and was able to cope up with the world with so much love in him amidst the tribulation he went through...he was able to write meaningful inspiring songs and do the charities making him under the guiness world book of records.that was amazingly great owsome work of man ever done..

iloveyoumichaeljackson

reignforeverKING!!!! I_I :(((

[derajem]

i didn't knew there were many idiots and ignorant people watching this vid but then commenting negatively.why in the world would you believe that people could change color from deep black to pale white??fyi,michael's vitiligo dominated almost the largest part of his skin especially the face.and it would be much easy to apply a little amt.of white color to patch it up.

[dyinghearts2002]

Why is that in order to pay a homage one has to exaggerate or try to re-write history? Populism is just disgraceful! "he broke the race barrier and brought together black and white"??? Yes, Michael CONTRIBUTED to it, but ... As if a Duke Ellington, Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armostrong, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, etc ... were those people white? where they not on magazines? were they not listened?

[semwenmenm]

He didn´t have to mention them because it wasn´t their memorial. No reason to fight that. Sometimes we need to be tolerant. It´s his way of remembering Michael. Black poeple´s struggling 4 those things since the day the first European grounded the African continent with his wierd intentions to convert the blacks to slaves because of their strong and resistant nature. Are we able to remember all the names and start mentionning them all ?

[mtd076]

He didn't need correcting. Sharpton was speaking to time zones and for that reason he was right. The audience member if ignorant was a fool because she didn't know any better...if she was wise she was referring to her time zone and wanted that included in his speech. My point is he didn't need correcting.

[tiana1017]

she should have waited until he was done or just not said anything period, she's just a rude bitch

[tom11zz884]

Agreed..someone should have told her to shut up. But that would have ben inappropriate at that time honoring Michael

[playitjade]

Michael Jackson had a skin disorder. Family members of mine have the same. Their skin becomes pale white and it hurts when they walk in the sun. They have no desire 2 be white.

And what the rev said is so true! Nothing weird about Michael!

[XeuterpeMUSICX]

ugh..i muted the tv when he spoke

[sazchick10]

why? it was an amazing speech and uplifting for everyone

[casseus7]

smc29 I am no big fan of sharpton but to be clear...YOU are the misinformed idiot. speak on what you KNOW not what you've swallowed as the truth from the hands of haters... and as anyone with a shred of self worth knows to be gospel, in order to move forward you must first know where you've been.

[smc29]

Sharpton is an idiont he said MJ helped the african americans move forward and that he took pride in being black....when really MJ hated being black that's why he changed his skin color to white. Dumb ass sharpton, he always has to make things about blacks movement and history, you don't see jews and armenians doing the same shit. Its in the past move forward!!!!

[micher2003]

uh.. i believe mj had skin cancer that made his skin produce these white patches... well, rather than having seeing him walkin around with white patches (while he's a star), he changed his skin color into one complexion... which is white.

[platnium1811]

are you really that stupid

[blah11blah]

You are the idiot and a clear indication of the insensitive bigotry and ignorance.

Number one you, better than Al Sharpton, would know the intentions and motivations of Michael right? You would know he hated being black and that's why he changed his skin color. Let's completely disregard the disease Michael had where his skin would slowly turn white. Research your facts.

2, Michael Jackson DID change history you ignorant fuck. He had an imperative role in moving our culture toward tolerance.

[semwenmenm]

Our comments regarding to his color don´t have any strong bases since we can´t demostrate what we affirm with facts and proofs. Even the ones who were sharing his roof still have their doubts... If poeple can change their sex just because they feel more confortable with theirselves, why couldn´t he change his color? Each one of us has something to respond 4 be4 the public opinion. Let´s be wise so we can be treated wisely.

[blah11blah]

Damn the character count. If you want to spew your hatred and ignorance do it elsewhere. Have some respect for the dead especially someone as influential as Michael.

People hate on those who they envy and I see that holds especially true even though it's only been 5 days.

[sazchick10]

michael jacksons message was that it doesnt matter if ur black or white we should all stand together

[cbstout12345]

when are murder charges going to be filed on the Doctor that killed Michael Jackson

[mswhite35]

Today the world is celbrating this man life. He was a father, A great Entertainer,A Human Being. Just like us all..... With everything that has happen in this world. Terroism Ect... One could only hope that all of that negitive wordings such as colored people eCT........ COULD BE APART OF THE PAST.....THIS IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THOERY, OR THEORIES.THIS IS NOT ABOUT WHORES R PIMPS...wHAT? hOW SMALL MINDED CAN AND WILL PEOPLE BE? WHAT A F..... COMMENT.

[USAisAntiWhite]

Al Sharpton's a pimp & whore. He would sell his mother if he got enough and had a turn.

[lavender880]

You're just saying that because you are a racist. This isn't about Rev. Al anyway...it's about Michael Jackson.

[USAisAntiWhite]

lavender880...why do you colored people always resort to labeling a person a racist if they state an opinion? The media really has your second class race programed. Who is making the speech? Is it MJ or that pimp/whore Al Sharpton? The comment was directing towards the fool. (I typed this slower so that you could read it you simpleton).

[Difficult2Understand]

"pimp & whore" got any facts to back that up or are you just being an asshole?

[Banghouse]

@ USAisAntiWhite

The only simpleton here is you. Fyi there is no such thing as COLORED people, but there is a such thing as COLORLESS. Simpleton!

[lavender880]

HEY USA,

I am white, and I am also ashamed to be associated with you in any way. Simpleton? I am a law student...not too simple FYI. Grow the hell up.

[lavender880]

blah11blah,

I agree with you that MJ tried to enlighten people towards the goal of tolerance...but he DEFINITELY did not hate being black...he loved his people and he showed it by communicating with heads of state from Africa and helping black children and respecting his black elders in the entertainment business. What he hated was the people who tried to create unrest in his life.

[adrienecrego]

why is no one commenting on the fact that his accuser Evan Chandler has openly admitted to the press that he lied under oath and that MJ never molested him, it was a money plot by his father Jordon Chandler?

[KingZarus1]

IDK but I want someone to acknowledge that 2. Maybe then, people will stop talking bad about him

[Joshwall87]

@ Comrade

Excuse me what?

Oh got not another NWO conspiracy nut.

This is about Micheal Jackson, i wasn't even much of a fan, but he was an amazing talent. Keep the comments on topic and not about stupid conspiracy theories.

[ComradePatriot]

Michael Jackson funeral today. Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon died same day. The government is aware of the Swine Flu pandemic infecting 1 million americans......that fact was just released by the newspapers. The pandemic is part of the population reduction plans of the NWO. The economy is collapsing too. So the perfect distraction was to assassinate 3 celebrities with silent ElectroMagnetic Pulse Weapons [EMP].

[chiladin]

Wow ur nuts.lol.

[MrKrazy8]

It's just amazing, I'm so inspired, I'm joining that man boy love association tomorrow.

[07hutchify]

It might take some people a while to understand you.

[Pamphile05]

this was at the apollo right

[doreen1982]

Al Sharptons speech was beyond amazing at the memorial. UNBELIEVABLE! RIP MJ. WE LOVE YOU

[kriptrip]

ur right. micheal jackson wasnt a good man. he was a GREAT man. R.I.P Micheal!

[beautifultrice]

Michael Jackson represented LOVE just like Jesus... He is the most highest underneath the LORD to me.. No one walking this earth have displayed the message of LOVE more than Michael Jackson.. All he wanted was piece and love around the world.. Thats all.. U will be missed by all.. Rest in paradise Michael Jackson the one and only.. Gone but never forgotten.. Gone too soon..

[blackmimi321]

MJ was INNOCENT proven in the highest law court, stop the disrespect and worry about your own sorry self

[blackmimi321]

MJ is INNOCENT of all charges. proven in the highest law court, so stop being disrespectful and go and worry about your own sorry self.

[chop5414]

Wherever people believe in love, they believe in Michael Jackson ..that sums it up.

[wewile23]

The Newsmedia Man Martin Bashir killed Michael Jackson with the ongoing coverage of his court battles about and the fabricated evidence by the LAPD. The phototaking of private parts of Michael humiliating for everyone. Even Ophra had made some nasty remarks in the past Stand behind me for Michael Jackson and his kids and family. In the next couple of days or months do not buy none of the newspaper articles

[cherryblossomslover]

I totally agree with you. Michael was and still is the King. I was so mad when I saw how that Bashir manipulated the situation and then ridiculed Michael. Michael was really hurting and I am really pissed that Oprah did not use her better judgement nor stand by Michael. I am sure the time she had spent with him, she would have gotten to know him how innocent he is.

[cherryblossomslover]

Michael was a good man, a gift from God to change the world. I remembered an interview Michael's mother gave during the second trial when she told a reporter that what goes around comes around. I really hoped those people who were really cruel and disrespectful get their own medicine. Even today, when you watching the news they keep bringing up these silly accusations, etc.

[ekjohndeer]

Child rape is not a silly accusation and Michael was not a good man he was a good sing but not a good man there are a whole lot of men and woman that deserver remembering for the true good works they have done,

[AlleyLOVEScullen]

You dont even know him. you are np one to speak unless you were there or knew him shut your mouth.

[ekjohndeer]

Shut my mouth !!! 24 millon will shut most peoples mouths!!! You are a moron with know true values !!

[07hutchify]

yes no matter how much money you donate or have. it is WRONG TO HAVE SLEEPOVERS WITH KIDS when you are an adult.REV SHARPTON IS MEDIA ATTENTION GETTING CLOWN AND NO MARTIN LUTHER KING>AND BECAUSE OF CLOWNS LIKE HIM PEOPLE WITH MONEY GET AWAY WITH THIS SORT OF STUFF>THIS IS NOT A RACE ISSUE THIS IS A MORAL ISSUE>GREAT MUSICIAN WARPED HUMAN BEING

[ekjohndeer]

well put

[cherryblossomslover]

How can you do that to such a beautiful, wonderful, gentle and chartiable person?! Did they forget how much time and money he had donated to charities. Even the song "We are the World" helped millions of people in Africa. What about Nelson Mandela? Why does he not say something regarding this? Michael, you know who are your true fans are... I love you and will fight for you till the very end!!!

[praise4christ375]

Sharpton did it up!
