Media said MJ hated being black...They said he wanted to be a woman...The said he was a freak...They said he was a molester even after he was found NOT GUILTY......All ass over elbow statements...LOL one thing they never said that was actually true was that he abused drugs...Now look at the muppets the media are...How can intelligent people buy their bullshit.
0:38-1:14 Reflecting upon America’s racial problems, mj said: “I wish I could borrow from other countries, say, like Venezuela or Trinidad, the real love and color-blind people and bring it to America. When you travel, you realize how different America is. God, I hate to say this but our people are brainwashed.” NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY BILL?
@heyathere1000 Oh...You have no idea how much i agree with you...America LIVE by their media and believe everything they say and never question one iota...The media persecuted MJ and were desperate for his conviction in 05 but not for justice but for revenue and ratings...How sick is that? Tom Messerau still defends MJ to this day and revealed just how duplicitous people can be.
0:38-1:14 This is what was said in a interview in 1979 "Off the Wall" era: “That (racism) is the only thing I hate. I really do. And that’s why I try to write, put it in songs, put it in dance, put it in my art—to teach the world. If politicians can’t do it, poets should put it in poetry and writers should put it in novels. That’s what we have to do and I think it’s so important to save the world.”
0:38-1:14 Listen,you think you know it all Bill? this is what mj had to say during a "Off the Wall" era: “I’m really not a prejudiced person at all. I believe that people should think about God more and creation because if you look at the many wonders inside the human bodies—the different colors of organs…and all these colors do different things in the human body—why can’t we do it as people"? NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY STUPID BILL?
0:38-1:14 Bill this is what Michael Jackson said during a 1979 interview during the "Off the Wall" era: “The people told us just deal with it (racism) because that’s how the South is,” he said and added: “That’s ignorance and it’s taught because it’s not genetic at all. NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY BILL? OBVIOUSLY FANS NO MORE ABOUT MJ THAN YOU, HA HA.
0:38-1:14 Bill that's not what was said about mj in a 1979 "Off The Wall" era interview with mj. This is what was said and discussed: "The one thing that dims this glow is the pervasive racism that’s rampant in the world today, especially in America, the world traveler observes. Recalling how badly the singing Jacksons have been treated in southern cities, he said that it was difficult to believe". NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY BILL? LOL. IDOT.
Some of you might remember that in 1982 black musicians were still not equal as white. Some of the major magazines refused to interview mj or made a cover story and that made Michael very sad. Even though he was putting a lot of efforts in his music, he was not valued enough.
0:38 Of course MTV did not want to be looked at as racist medium and decided to play music video Beat it and Thriller. This was a major success for Michael alone, confirmation that all his hard work was finally paying of and also for other black artists which after Michael could be presented on MTV.
0:38 Bill what do you have to say about this you idot: "Before Thriller, Michael Jackson had struggled to get air time on MTV. They just did not play music from black artists. There was a lot of pressure on MTV, including from CBS Recods president at that time, who threatend to stop releasing videos from other artists if MTV won’t play Michael Jackson".
"My albums should be for all races, all tastes in music". "I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the black man, I am the white man."~ Michael Jackson.
MJ's goal was to prove that a black artist could do everything a white artist could (and more). He wanted to move beyond every boundary, earn every recognition, break every record, and achieve artistic immortality ("That is why to escape death," he said, "I bind my soul to my work"). The point of his ambition wasn't money and fame; it was respect. As he boldly proclaimed in his 1991 hit, "Black or White," "I had to tell them I ain't second to none."
Michael Jackson was well-aware of the history and consistently pushed against it. In 1979, Rolling Stone passed on a cover story about the singer, saying that it didn't feel Jackson merited front cover status. "I've been told over and over again that black people on the covers of magazines don't sell copies," an exasperated Jackson told confidantes. "Just wait. Some day those magazines will come begging for an interview." SO BILL SHUT UP, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT MJ WENT THROUGH.
Yet among critics (predominantly white), skepticism and suspicion only grew. "He will not swiftly be forgiven for having turned so many tables," predicted James Baldwin in 1985, "for he damn sure grabbed the brass ring, and the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo has nothing on Michael."
His next album, Thriller, became the best-selling album by any artist of any race in the history of the music industry. It also won a record-setting seven Grammy awards, broke down color barriers on radio and TV, and redefined the possibilities of popular music on a global scale.
Michael Jackson never made any qualms about his aspirations. He wanted to be the best. When his highly successful Off the Wall album (in 1981, the best-selling album ever by a black artist) was slighted at the Grammy Awards, it only fueled Jackson's resolve to create something better.
Besides, mj changed himself, why bring more attn. to a matter by having blk children. It was only later mj found it ok to have blks children sense he knew his own whe skin wasn't doing anything for him, might as well do what he always wanted, having all races of children not just whe. for press & media pleasing.
When it came time for mj to choose a child of his own without someone giving it to him as a gift he choose Blanket who is clearly not white. And if mj lived lond enough he would of had a blk child, he already begged "susan etok" a British blk women to have his 4th child, a playmate for Paris, but everyone wasn't eagered to give mj children like Debbie. MJ loved all children not matter what color they were.
Debbie gave those kids to mj, lol. She gave mj kids for a gift, she said to mj "you need to be a daddy", lol. MJ said so himself in Martin Basshir interview and Debbie did so herself.
Just read archive articles about mj back in the 80's during "Thriller and "Bad" era, mj was picked on and talked about, and mj thought this was simply because he was black so he did what he did. MJ wanted to stop hate and racism. Like mj said "if you wanna make the world a beeter place take a look at yourself and make a change"
Michael didn't say "I had to tell then I ain't second to none" & "I told them about equality" for nothing, mj experienced racism in the music industry.
0:40-1:13 That's not what mj said in these speeches Bill called: "Michael Jackson The ANGRY BLACK MAN!" & "Michael Jackson's speech against Tommy Mottola". Yes, whites bought mj's records and whites bought Tupac's records too, just because you have some whites buying your records doesn't mean you still don't have racist whites up against you. MJ dealt with racist whes in the music industry, and that's why he did what he did, that's all there is too it.
why should we care if MJ was an icon for blacks ? MJ was so nice person and extraordinary talented , he has the love of all of us .MJ is the most handsome afro-american who i have ever seen
I totally agree that Michael Jackson brings Black and White people together - I never thought I would agree, ever, in this lifetime or the next with a damn thing Bill O'Reilly says. And look, because of Michael Jackson I am agreeing with him! Michael Jackson is a pedaphile and a disgrace to the Black community and the history of great African-American music.
O'Really again shows his complete ignorance of race and racial politics. What a buffoon! And he got totally, completely, and irrevocably OWNED by Dr. Hill... HAHAHAHAHA!!!
What a racist stupid little shit! When you are born black you remain black till the end. He should have researched black people with vitiligo to see why Michael had to do what he did. And since when black people should not marry and have kids with white peolple? When white people get that dark tan shade they stop being white?
LOL my screen began to buffer after one second and i saw some african american journo smiling iinnocently. i dont think he would have seen the shit that was about to come next!!!
micheal had a disease in his skin he treated it skin got white( his kid r mixed) micheal didnt reach for only blacks or whites he reached for people through his music not throught the color of his skin
AGAIN, HE DID NOT BLEACH HIS SKIN, HE HAD A SKIN DISORDER YOU FUCKING IDIOT BILL, HE HAD MIXED CHILDREN, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE MIXED CHILDREN HUH? FUCKING IDIOT BILL OREILLY..
BLEACJING HIS SKIN?? SLEEPING WITH CHILDREN?? WTF?? THIS BILL DUDE IS AN IDIOT, MJ HAD A SKIN DISORDER CALLED VITILIGO, HE DID NOT SLEEP WITH ANYBODY YOU IDIOT, DAMN WHITE PEOPLE CAN BE SO STUPID...
@RodrigoMJ32 And people like you can be DEAF. O'Reilly said that Jackson slept with other children, which is FACT. Both he and Hill made it clear that sleeping with children didn't equate to having sex with them. Jackson didn't have mixed children. The biological fathers of those kids are WHITE, as is the mother. Even when Jackson stated he had vitiligo, most people (especially BLACK PEOPLE) didn't believe him. Yet, I don't hear you calling them "stupid".
ELVIS PRESLEY WAS THE REAL PEDOPHILE!! HE WAS A 24 YEAR OLD WHO DATED 14 YEAR PRISCILLA. SOMEONE WHO KNEW ELVIS EVEN SAID HE WAS HAVING SEX WITH 13 YEAR OLDS BEFORE HE MET PRISCILLA. THE MEDIA SURELY LOVES KEEPING SECRETS, DON'T THEY? DO YOUR RESEARCH HATERS AND STOP BEING LAZY. ELVIS IS IN HELL. HE DID DRUGS AND DIED ON HIS TOILET, HE HAD GROUP SEX WITH YOUNG WOMEN. MICHAEL JACKSON DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO THOSE CHILDREN, YOU HATERS HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED LIKE SHEEP BY THE MEDIA
@ficksuck1 I think Blanket is definitely his son...him and MJ could be twins!
But i can understand why you think that Prince and Paris aren't his bio kids(though i think they are) but you should look at this video -- /watch?v=Hq0plufocgQ (minute 09:05-09:44) -- there are shown pictures of mixed race people that look completely white! + if you look at pics from MJ's memorial you can see that they aren't much lighter(maybe even as dark) than LaToya! :)
Few months after Michael died Evan Chandler, the father of the boy in the '93 case KILLED HIMSELF cuz he couldn't take it!! After that, according to Jermaine Jackson, Jordan Chandler, the boy himself, came forward and said that Michael NEVER touched him and his father had made him lie! And in the '05 case MJ was proven NOT GUILTY cuz they had NOTHING on him!
Michael didnt even bleach his skin first of all, he had vitiligo a skin disorder that destroys pigmentation of the skin. he wasnt a pedophile he never did anything to hurt anyone, so please: just leave him alone.
@cku99 He DID bleach his skin, but it was so that he wouldn;t have to deal with the effects of vitilego (the spotting and discoloration). He instead, decided to just bleach his whole body instead of trying to cover up the spots with makeup.
@noevoe978 michael jackson DID NOT bleach his skin, because that means he would have the ability to regain his natural complexion, he destroyed his skin's ability to produced melanin, not because of a skin disease, but because he sought the greatest commercial audience imaginable with disregard to his original audience, who was primarily black
FUCK OREILLY! i hate him sooo much! I HOPE HE DIES ON HIS WAY TO A REPUBLICAN DEBATE! i 100% agree w/ marc!!!! I LOVE HOW MARC STANDS BY MJ! MJ DESERVES BETTER THAN THOSE RETARDS SAYING HES A PEDO ND BEIN STUPID! oreilly knows NOTHING about Mj! SO HE SHOULD FUCK THE HELL OFF! fu fox! imma go break my tv now!
FUCK YOU O' BASTARD, another tabloid freakazoid, why am i not surprised. You are just another racist freak and a monster. -gets a knife and cuts off his dick and shoves it in his mouth and carves MJ's initals on his chest-
Afraid I've got to agree with Bill here: Michael received a lot of criticism in his life, some of it fair and some of it unfair, but race was not a part of it. There was never a black artist so embraced by whites. Would Thriller have been the success it was without the white record-buying public? Hardly. But Bill is off base with the skin bleaching stuff: Michael had vitiligo, that's an established fact.
black people are obsessed with race. they make everything about race. and comparing Michael jackson to Mozart is fucking hilarious hahaha. michael didn't even play instruments. i liked the guy but he wasn't the most amazing entertainer ever. and it had nothing to do with his race.
What the???! Michael Jackson had a disease called vitiligo, it's an auto-immune disease. That's why he always he had an umberalle with him. Direct sunlight is harmful to people with vitiligo...how come both these men dont know this? Bleached his skin? How the hell does that work?
Mr,Bill O'FUCKING RAILLY: are you saying michael jackson wasnt a hero?,well before you say that,u should give to charity to children around the world like he always have done,even after his alleged death,and is not just an idol,he is THE BEST ENTERTAINER THAT THE WORLD HAS KNOWN EVER! JEALOUS MUCH FOR BEING A NOBODY AND AN OLD FART? SORRY,BUT YOU SHOUD "THINK" IF STILL HAVE BRAINS,WICH I DOUBT,BEFORE YOU TRY TO HAVE MICHAEL BELIEVED AS A CHILD MOLESTOR,SHAME ON YOU AND ALL MEDIA,FOR DOING THIS!
@drbobertman but he said he bleached his skin and is not true,he has vitiligo he cant help it! but this moron should make his homework before going on air.....what you mean with american on black icon? i dont understand that....:s
i agree with bill, as much as I hate him. michael was a black icon but he wanted to be white. as much as i, being black, hate to admit it, michael jackson did not want to be black and didn't embrace his ethnicity.
@iitsAsHBasH Oh for gods sake..Why can't people do their homework before they talk...MJ did not want to be White...He had vitiligo...He told the media...They said he's lying...Autopsy Report confirmed he had it....You are more open to skin cancer with it, hence umbrella/face mask and Vitiligo strips the pigment and that is why he had the make up and lip/eyebrow tattoo makeup...No pigment...Youtube 'Lee Thomas' and then accuse him of not wanting to be black.
that black guy lost all my respect when he started talkin about how MJ disfigured his face and said mj bleached his skin. i swear i shoulda been there i know more fact then both these idiots.
n wtf? MJs not as black cuz he has white kids ?? REALLY? so all the white people who adopt black kids arent as white anymore ?? damn Bills an idiot
@freedrugsLACentral, Agree, it is somewhat soul but miles away from Marvin Gaye, Curtis, Mayfield, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles..... But, the children would love it.
@MrHoolits Michael Jackson's fanbase is far greater then James Ray Stevie and Marvin put together. He has people from 5 to 80 as fans. It's not a surprise he's the best selling black artist in the world. You don't put up a good argument Everything you said is just an opinion. The most foolish thing you said was only children listen to Pop music. So no adults listen to it. Last time I checked age didn't matter what genre of music you prefer.
@MrHoolits Jackson is in the songwriters hall of fame he has written many songs. He is not just a pop artist he has done R&B, soul, Disco, Rock. He was also a child prodigy listen to Jackson 5 whos loving you and la la means I love you
@freedrugsLACentral, It is unfair to compare anyone to Mozart who wrote concertos as a child. You can maybe compare Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett and the great composers of our time and still they could not be compared to Mozart. You could compare Chopin, Beethoven, Bach and those great composers.
I just google and Michael Jackson wrote 65 songs that's it.
I like MJ but he is Pop and should be compared to those but not Mozart or Miles Davis.
@freedrugsLACentral, I'll give you an example I thought Michael wrote Human Nature but it was originally written by Steve Porcaro, keyboardist with the rock band Toto.
Look what happen when you get some of the best musicians in the world and one of the best trumpet player ever and one of the greatest composers the U.S. ever produced Miles Davis who was not recognized by the Grammies after he died.
@MrHoolits Actually he has wrote over 150 according to the songwriters hall of fame which he was inducted into. Don't take something so seriously bro it's only music you act like it's important. I don't like Miles davis or any of his music. he is to old and irrelevant. He was good many years ago to people but now his sound is dated. Same as Mozart. But hey what ever floats your boat. Either way it's all just silly songs
@freedrugsLACentral,65 songs is what MJ wrote. The others were collaborations with Quincy Jones, etc
Mozart, Chick Corea, Astor Piazzolla and the greats music does not become dated and is relevant today and is performed by many. Just search Youtube and see how many try to reinterpret their great music.
I made my comment because of Dr. Hill comparing MJ to Mozart as a child prodigy and that is not valid.
I have no problem with what MJ did but it is insane to compare the King of Pop to Mozart.
@MrHoolits He wrote 150 songs Like I said. Songwriters hall of fame confirms this. You obviously take music to seriously relax buddy Mozart just made songs he didn't walk on water or move mountains with his bare hands lol. In your mind Mozart is a music god in my mind he is incredibly boring. Only a nerd would compare artist to one another when their goal is to entertain or make you feel something.
@freedrugsLACentral, Yes, I do take music seriously and will make my opinion made when someone tries to compare a Pop Icon to Mozart.
Mozart music is relevant though it is 200 years old and will be 200 years from now unlike MJ who I like but he ain't Mozart. That was a hilarious comparison. Next they'll be calling Justin Boever a child prodigy and comparing him to Bach.
@MrHoolits Michael is child prodigy because he had incredible range and knew how to convey emotion with his voice. Something Justin can't do thats why he isn't prodigy. He was also a great performer well beyond his years. You don't have to do the same thing as Mozart to be a prodigy Some kids are even able to build computers or what ever. Lol you must be some nerd then to get mad over something so meaningless.
@freedrugsLACentral, Yes a Pop prodigy not to be compared to arguably the best composer of all time Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but can be compared to Justin as they are both contrived.
Nerd? No, Lover of good music, yes.
Let me know which Symphony, piano, violin and multiple instrument concertos, opera that MJ composed.
But unlike Mozart, MJ is skilled on doing the moon walk.
I would consider Stevie Wonder a real child prodigy but would not compare him to Mozart
@MrHoolits Listen to his song Little susie. Mozart the best composer of all time. Man buddy you are a giant nerd. He sucks what ever floats your boat I don't control your brain. Don't comment to me again I can tell you have issues with the constant arguments. Also listen to jackson 5 sing whos loving you la la means I love you I dont know why i love you. Could mozart do that No.
@freedrugsLACentral, Yes, Mozart can be considered the best composer of all time and MJ can be grouped with Elvis and other Pop icons.
Google "List of compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"
These isn't A B C or loving you la la. I'll accept that MJ can be considered a Pop prodigy but never could I compare him to Mozart, Miles, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Jimmy Hendrix, Al Green and others.
@freedrugsLACentral, Again, MJ is a Pop Artist. Marvin and James Brown had Soul and there music was enjoyed by everyone where MJ's music was geared for more for children and teenagers. That is Pop.
Try these clips.
watch?v=Y9KC7uhMY9s Marvin Gaye
watch?v=ivzmxOrJN3o James Brown
As I wrote earlier, compare MJ to Elvis and other Pop Artists but not Mozart and the others I listed.
@MrHoolits Michael Jackson wrote more songs then james brown Curtis mayfield Jimi Hendrix Marvin gaye. Obviously your biased and Michael Jackson wasn't a pop artist. Most of his music is R&B and soul. Stop being so ignorant. Mozart the greatest composer maybe 200 years ago but better songs have been composed. The more you comment the more you make yourself look foolish because everything you say is your opinion. An opinion most don't even agree with
@MrHoolits Yes MJ has done many genres of music. Most of his music is R&B and soul. Also you make no sense how is pop music only for children. A child can listen to any type of music and enjoy it same as a adult. Stop being ignorant.
@MrHoolits You have no knowledge on any of Michael Jackson's music if you think it was geared for children. I guess all of his adult fans I see are just gigantic children with growth hormones hahahahaha.
@freedrugsLACentral, Just so we are clear, you said Mozart could not write "La-La Means I Love You". I don't why he would but either could Michael Jackson. It was written by Thomas Bell & William Hart and the The Delfonics is a much better version.
watch?v=YO-y9vvsI1s
You truly are clueless.
Next time you offer an MJ song make sure he actually wrote it.
Try listening to Bob Marley, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield grow your musical tastes. There is great music out there to be enjoyed.
@freedrugsLACentral, Listen to original Delfonics version of La-La Means I Love You. It is superior and all Michael did was sing it exactly the same way without any artistic input.
In his defense, he was a child, pushed into music by his father. I do think that the Jackson 5 is closer to the Osmonds then James Brown, Curtis Mayfiield, Marvin Gaye and the others listed.
I love James Brown Doing it to death and in my opinion is the best soul song ever recorded though What's going is there as well
@MrHoolits I find it offensive that you say MJ wrote "music meant for children." Billie Jean is not a song for children. Nor is Dirty Diana or many other MJ songs you could name. And those great soul artists you mention - Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, etc., were not the all-around musical genius MJ was as composer, lyricist, singer, performer, and choreographer. There is no other "whole package" artist like him and probably never will be.
@MrHoolits You CAN'T compare MJ to those artists because it's comparing apples with oranges. Hendrix was primarily an instrumentalist, not a singer & dancer. The others are jazz artists. You can't say one is "better" than the other because they're different genres. Listen to MJ's lyrics sometime - they are surprisingly sophisticated. This is coming from someone who (before his death) didn't take him seriously as a musician because I never LISTENED. He was so overplayed on the radio I tuned out.
@MrHoolits WOW the Haters are still threatened/obsessed by MJ 2 1/2 years later smh. There's a reason why there's statues erected in his honor in 10 countries and counting. He was a musical genius who touched the whole world. It was MJ who brought western music to the eastern world. Read up on Mike and see how he changed the world man. Elvis, just a singer, will never be comparable to MJ. MJ = Genius, child prodigy like Mozart. There're statues man! He will always be celebrated.Deal with it.
@mrsnet, I have no problem with MJ being the king of Pop and compared to Elvis Presley. Haters, No!, But no comparison for a pop artist with the greatest composer of all time Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart.
Only a child with no reference to all the compositions written by Mozart could make such a silly and laughable comment.
In 200 years will anyone have heard of MJ? Today Mozart's music is performed in Symphonies all over the world. MJ is a pop artist like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears...
@MrHoolits I think the comparison with Mozart was not meant to be a literal comparison of their music, but that both were naturally and extraordinarily gifted from birth as entertainers. As far as "pop" artist, yes he called himself King of Pop but remember at the '84 Grammys he won best male vocalist in pop, rock, and R&B categories. He penned many of his own biggest hits including Billie Jean, Black or White, Wanna Be Startin Something (which incorporated "world" music) and many others.
@SuperJolie2011, I think Johnny and Edgar Winters have more soul then MJ could ever have as he is a Pop artist.
Give a listen to
johnny winter - please come home for Christmas
watch?v=M5Mv2-Iin5M
Today''s music has been ruined by Record companies. How can MJ ever win a Grammy for R&B when he does Pop music. It's insulting for real R&B singers and bands
Billy Jean and Black & White are pop tunes.
I no longer watch the Grammys with Madonna, Lady Gaga, Justin Beover and other contrived pol acts.
@MrHoolits Whether you like it or not, MJ won the 1984 Best R&B Male Vocal Grammy for Billie Jean. He also won it for Off the Wall in 1980. You didn't pay attention to what I said: You CAN'T compare MJ to your laundry list of artists because he wasn't a jazz, soul or classical artist. Johnny & Edgar Winter (not WinterS)? Are you serious? Talk about apples/oranges. They're BLUES guitarists. He didn't sell 100 million records because "some adults" liked his music. You need a course in Music 101.
@SuperJolie2011, Well no I don't like it and think it was unfair to real R&B singers who don't do pop music.
Yes Edgar & Johnny Winters did not sell 100 million records but then again McDonnals sells billions of hamburgers but aren't as good as the local Mom & Pop burger houses.
Johny & Edgar are Blues and R&B singers and musicians and have more soul then MJ could cover have and he never claimed to be as he is a Pop artist and the King of Pop music.
@SuperJolie2011, But I get it. You think MJ had the best music and I'll admit he sang good pop tunes mainly for children and their parents as it was safe.
I'll stick with James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, (Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock - real child prodigies on piano) Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Piazzolla,etc.
But I realize MJ means a lot to you and I have no problem with that. \
He does not fit into African American, He doesn't even fit into American... He fits into World Icon.. International.. Michael was global and expansive with his talents and gifts.. It amazes me how people are now fighting over who he belongs to but when he was alive and needed their support they couldn't stand him!
I love Michael & always will... I think Michael is an American Icon but not in the aspect of what Billl O'Reilly is saying. I think he is an American icon because he did cross the spectrum back in the early 80's MTV only played white artists & Michael was the first black artist that MTV played & this was before he was being accused of bleaching his skin. We cannot put him in under the label that he is just a african american icon. His talents were universal and exceeded so many.
Michael Jackson will always be the person THEY love to HATE. There were racial components in Michael's life... He wrote songs about many social injustices including racism, think about "Black Or White" and "They Don't Really Care About Us" to name a few. The last song is saturated in racial inequality and injustices and based on that awareness... Michael was also accused many times of bleaching his skin to be white.. So there is a racial component there and it's sad...
This is ridiculous! Michael did not bleach his skin autopsy confirmed he had vitiligo! Michael never wanted to be white, he stated many times since the early 90's that he is proud to be black... & Just because a black man has children with a white woman... He needs to be labeled white?? Crazy!!! Ok.. So I am a black woman married to a white man... Am I now a white woman? Should I be considered white? In the words of Michael while referencing a tabloid writer "You ignorant fool" lol..
@GhostOfAStranger1 nigga your dumb, your reply is just as difigured as MJ's face was when he died. With so many things in the world to hate within the flaws of human charecter and actions; were did you as a "black" person find the time to hate afro-centricity, or African Intellectualism. Wow what a Nigger like attitude, uncle Remus, or do you prefer Tom
@alkidathreat Eat a dick, son. I love it when dumbass have no clue as to what their speaking, or never delved outside of their comfort zone. Learn to see the world without bias so you wont be a complacent fuck, "nigga".
bill oreilly can eat a dick these mother fuck crackers. i sleep with kids who werenot my kids and i still do when i baby sit.you can argue with this red neck bastards all day and you will be wasting your time id throw my tv out the window before i watch fox news.these fuckers eat dicks breakfast lunch and dinner.white folks will never understand us so dont waste your time with this puss head fucker.king opeilly and limhog can all suck my ass
he didnt bleach his skin you idiot BILL O FAGGOT, he had a disease called vitiligo! which is a cronic disease where you loose the color pigmentation of your skin!!
bill o'reilly knows how not to answer your question...soon as you ask him one him comes back with some a question of his own a makes you look bad...bitch ass, i hate this muthfucker when he does that to people...racist bitch!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK BILL O'REILLY! WHY ANYONE LISTENS TO THIS PIECE OF DUNG IS BEYOND ME! BLEACHES HIS SKIN? VITILIGO ASSHOLE!!! CHECK THE AUTOPSY REPORT!!! LET'S LISTEN TO WHITEY TELL THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY WHO SHOULD BE A BLACK ICON! MAYBE I'LL CALL THE KLU KLUX CLAN AND ASK THEM FOR THEIR OPINION NEXT! DICK!!!!
@Sizzledeez I really don't like O'Reilly and what he stands for, but I don't think you need to be of the same skin colour as another person to judge him.
I'm disappointed and sick to death of people and their obsessive need to make everything about color. Get the hell over your skin people, because if you think for one moment your skin is so important then i'm afraid you got bigger problems than you even realize. When i'm dead and gone, I hope and pray people discuss my positive contributions to the world without saying she was a great (**color**) woman! I'm a woman with fine qualities and the skin I live in is NOT relevent!!! WAKE UP IDIOTS....
Wow, people still are NOT getting Michaels message. People need to get over their skin like yesterday. When somebody accomplishes greatness, they should be honored for that and regardless of MJ's race, skin color, whatever, he is a music ICON and it's not necessary to put him in a LABLE as a black anything. MJ's lyrics in Black or White is that he's NOT going to spend his life being a color and as far as the kids go, he had them with someone willing to give him kids who happened to be white!!!!
Aaawwww....I love Bill O'Reilly but I can't support his comments here. This was taped over 2 years ago...I hope he has changed his opinion about MJ since then. Dr. Hill did a wonderful job supporting Michael. He WAS a black man loved by all....
I didnt know Bill O'Reilly's opinion was the end-all-be-all of what makes a black man an icon/hero to the black community.

igotscamed1 1 week ago
A few things here,his children are not his biological kids,
He sleeps with children,either in the same room or same bed,but people think thats ok,i dont care if he can sing and dance,its not exceptable.
I am fed up with fans says,its ok for him to sleep with children,its NOT,even if he is cleared or paid off children on sex charges.
He had plastic surgery, but who cares,its his body he can do what he wants.

This is what was said and discussed: "The one thing that dims this glow is the pervasive racism that’s rampant in the world today, especially in America, the world traveler observes. Recalling how badly the singing Jacksons have been treated in southern cities, he said that it was difficult to believe". NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY BILL? LOL. IDOT.
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
Some of you might remember that in 1982 black musicians were still not equal as white. Some of the major magazines refused to interview mj or made a cover story and that made Michael very sad. Even though he was putting a lot of efforts in his music, he was not valued enough.
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
0:38 Of course MTV did not want to be looked at as racist medium and decided to play music video Beat it and Thriller. This was a major success for Michael alone, confirmation that all his hard work was finally paying of and also for other black artists which after Michael could be presented on MTV.
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
0:38 Bill what do you have to say about this you idot: "Before Thriller, Michael Jackson had struggled to get air time on MTV. They just did not play music from black artists. There was a lot of pressure on MTV, including from CBS Recods president at that time, who threatend to stop releasing videos from other artists if MTV won’t play Michael Jackson".

"My albums should be for all races, all tastes in music". "I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the black man, I am the white man."~ Michael Jackson.
THESE ARE MICHAEL'S WORDS, NOW YOU BE THE JUDGE.
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
MJ's goal was to prove that a black artist could do everything a white artist could (and more). He wanted to move beyond every boundary, earn every recognition, break every record, and achieve artistic immortality ("That is why to escape death," he said, "I bind my soul to my work"). The point of his ambition wasn't money and fame; it was respect. As he boldly proclaimed in his 1991 hit, "Black or White," "I had to tell them I ain't second to none."
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
Michael Jackson was well-aware of the history and consistently pushed against it. In 1979, Rolling Stone passed on a cover story about the singer, saying that it didn't feel Jackson merited front cover status. "I've been told over and over again that black people on the covers of magazines don't sell copies," an exasperated Jackson told confidantes. "Just wait. Some day those magazines will come begging for an interview." SO BILL SHUT UP, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT MJ WENT THROUGH.
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
Yet among critics (predominantly white), skepticism and suspicion only grew. "He will not swiftly be forgiven for having turned so many tables," predicted James Baldwin in 1985, "for he damn sure grabbed the brass ring, and the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo has nothing on Michael."
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
His next album, Thriller, became the best-selling album by any artist of any race in the history of the music industry. It also won a record-setting seven Grammy awards, broke down color barriers on radio and TV, and redefined the possibilities of popular music on a global scale.
heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
Michael Jackson never made any qualms about his aspirations. He wanted to be the best. When his highly successful Off the Wall album (in 1981, the best-selling album ever by a black artist) was slighted at the Grammy Awards, it only fueled Jackson's resolve to create something better.

Besides, mj changed himself, why bring more attn. to a matter by having blk children.

heyathere1000 2 weeks ago
When it came time for mj to choose a child of his own without someone giving it to him as a gift he choose Blanket who is clearly not white. And if mj lived lond enough he would of had a blk child, he already begged "susan etok" a British blk women to have his 4th child, a playmate for Paris, but everyone wasn't eagered to give mj children like Debbie.

@freedrugsLACentral, No I said MJ's music is geared for children & teenagers.
James Brown, Marvin Gay, Curtis & Ray was geared for adults though teenagers loved it.
He is an idol to you and you are defending which I do appreciate and understand.
I also criticized Cyndy Lauper for the butcher job she did on Marvin Gaye's "What going on" and her loyal disagreed.

@MrHoolits You have no knowledge on any of Michael Jackson's music if you think it was geared for children. I guess all of his adult fans I see are just gigantic children with growth hormones hahahahaha.

@freedrugsLACentral, Just so we are clear, you said Mozart could not write "La-La Means I Love You". I don't why he would but either could Michael Jackson. It was written by Thomas Bell & William Hart and the The Delfonics is a much better version.
watch?v=YO-y9vvsI1s
You truly are clueless.
Next time you offer an MJ song make sure he actually wrote it.
Try listening to Bob Marley, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield grow your musical tastes. There is great music out there to be enjoyed.

@MrHoolits I never said that and I do listen to James brown and Marvin Gaye. The Delfonics version is mediocre in comparison

@freedrugsLACentral, Listen to original Delfonics version of La-La Means I Love You. It is superior and all Michael did was sing it exactly the same way without any artistic input.
In his defense, he was a child, pushed into music by his father. I do think that the Jackson 5 is closer to the Osmonds then James Brown, Curtis Mayfiield, Marvin Gaye and the others listed.
I love James Brown Doing it to death and in my opinion is the best soul song ever recorded though What's going is there as well

@MrHoolits I find it offensive that you say MJ wrote "music meant for children." Billie Jean is not a song for children. Nor is Dirty Diana or many other MJ songs you could name. And those great soul artists you mention - Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, etc., were not the all-around musical genius MJ was as composer, lyricist, singer, performer, and choreographer. There is no other "whole package" artist like him and probably never will be.

@MrHoolits You CAN'T compare MJ to those artists because it's comparing apples with oranges. Hendrix was primarily an instrumentalist, not a singer & dancer. The others are jazz artists. You can't say one is "better" than the other because they're different genres. Listen to MJ's lyrics sometime - they are surprisingly sophisticated. This is coming from someone who (before his death) didn't take him seriously as a musician because I never LISTENED. He was so overplayed on the radio I tuned out.

@SuperJolie2011, I agree with you. My original comment was when Dr. Hill compared MJ to Mozart which is an insane comment. .
And yes, MJs music is meant for children and has children in many of his videos though some adults follow like his music.
I would never compare MJ to Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, John Contrane, Ray Charles and especially Mozart.
I have no problem in calling MJ the King of Pop and is better compared to other Pop Artists like Elvis and not Mozart

@MrHoolits WOW the Haters are still threatened/obsessed by MJ 2 1/2 years later smh. There's a reason why there's statues erected in his honor in 10 countries and counting. He was a musical genius who touched the whole world. It was MJ who brought western music to the eastern world. Read up on Mike and see how he changed the world man. Elvis, just a singer, will never be comparable to MJ. MJ = Genius, child prodigy like Mozart. There're statues man! He will always be celebrated.Deal with it.

@mrsnet, I have no problem with MJ being the king of Pop and compared to Elvis Presley. Haters, No!, But no comparison for a pop artist with the greatest composer of all time Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart.
Only a child with no reference to all the compositions written by Mozart could make such a silly and laughable comment.
In 200 years will anyone have heard of MJ? Today Mozart's music is performed in Symphonies all over the world. MJ is a pop artist like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears...
MrHoolits 2 months ago
@MrHoolits I think the comparison with Mozart was not meant to be a literal comparison of their music, but that both were naturally and extraordinarily gifted from birth as entertainers. As far as "pop" artist, yes he called himself King of Pop but remember at the '84 Grammys he won best male vocalist in pop, rock, and R&B categories. He penned many of his own biggest hits including Billie Jean, Black or White, Wanna Be Startin Something (which incorporated "world" music) and many others.

@SuperJolie2011, I think Johnny and Edgar Winters have more soul then MJ could ever have as he is a Pop artist.

Today''s music has been ruined by Record companies. How can MJ ever win a Grammy for R&B when he does Pop music. It's insulting for real R&B singers and bands
Billy Jean and Black & White are pop tunes.
I no longer watch the Grammys with Madonna, Lady Gaga, Justin Beover and other contrived pol acts.

@MrHoolits Whether you like it or not, MJ won the 1984 Best R&B Male Vocal Grammy for Billie Jean. He also won it for Off the Wall in 1980. You didn't pay attention to what I said: You CAN'T compare MJ to your laundry list of artists because he wasn't a jazz, soul or classical artist. Johnny & Edgar Winter (not WinterS)? Are you serious? Talk about apples/oranges. They're BLUES guitarists. He didn't sell 100 million records because "some adults" liked his music. You need a course in Music 101.
SuperJolie2011 3 months ago
@SuperJolie2011, Well no I don't like it and think it was unfair to real R&B singers who don't do pop music.
Yes Edgar & Johnny Winters did not sell 100 million records but then again McDonnals sells billions of hamburgers but aren't as good as the local Mom & Pop burger houses.
Johny & Edgar are Blues and R&B singers and musicians and have more soul then MJ could cover have and he never claimed to be as he is a Pop artist and the King of Pop music.
MrHoolits 3 months ago
@SuperJolie2011, But I get it. You think MJ had the best music and I'll admit he sang good pop tunes mainly for children and their parents as it was safe.
I'll stick with James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, (Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock - real child prodigies on piano) Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Piazzolla,etc.
But I realize MJ means a lot to you and I have no problem with that. \
This is soul - real R&B - James Brown style.

He does not fit into African American, He doesn't even fit into American... He fits into World Icon.. International.. Michael was global and expansive with his talents and gifts.. It amazes me how people are now fighting over who he belongs to but when he was alive and needed their support they couldn't stand him!

I love Michael & always will... I think Michael is an American Icon but not in the aspect of what Billl O'Reilly is saying. I think he is an American icon because he did cross the spectrum back in the early 80's MTV only played white artists & Michael was the first black artist that MTV played & this was before he was being accused of bleaching his skin. We cannot put him in under the label that he is just a african american icon. His talents were universal and exceeded so many.

Michael Jackson will always be the person THEY love to HATE. There were racial components in Michael's life... He wrote songs about many social injustices including racism, think about "Black Or White" and "They Don't Really Care About Us" to name a few. The last song is saturated in racial inequality and injustices and based on that awareness... Michael was also accused many times of bleaching his skin to be white.. So there is a racial component there and it's sad...
LeNikkiB 3 months ago
This is ridiculous! Michael did not bleach his skin autopsy confirmed he had vitiligo! Michael never wanted to be white, he stated many times since the early 90's that he is proud to be black... & Just because a black man has children with a white woman... He needs to be labeled white?? Crazy!!! Ok.. So I am a black woman married to a white man... Am I now a white woman? Should I be considered white? In the words of Michael while referencing a tabloid writer "You ignorant fool" lol..

When i'm dead and gone, I hope and pray people discuss my positive contributions to the world without saying she was a great (**color**) woman! I'm a woman with fine qualities and the skin I live in is NOT relevent!!! WAKE UP IDIOTS....

Wow, people still are NOT getting Michaels message. People need to get over their skin like yesterday. When somebody accomplishes greatness, they should be honored for that and regardless of MJ's race, skin color, whatever, he is a music ICON and it's not necessary to put him in a LABLE as a black anything. MJ's lyrics in Black or White is that he's NOT going to spend his life being a color and as far as the kids go, he had them with someone willing to give him kids who happened to be white!!!!
