Wasn't nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with

"Wasn't nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with."

Amen, and amen! What better statement to describe, even today, the injustices that Michael had to endure—that, and Marlon's "Being judged...ridiculed...how much pain can one take? Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone."

[ineedsacoke]

JUST GOOGLE; "Al Sharpton what you want 4 labor day?"

[Pussik]

That speech was amazing, I watched this about 20 times since memorial.

[ThunderheadNebula]

Al Sharpton believes that a vote for Obama was a vote for socialism. watch?v=KCpINI5aVy0 Al Sharpton wants to share the wealth. “Al Sharpton: We Won't Have True Social Justice Until Everything is Equal in Everybody's House” watch?v=95bcEb1rV18

.

Sharpton should start by giving up his $5 million (from celebrity net worth com) It’s also worth noting Hilter was a socialist that seemed to follow the Communist Manifesto.

When you don't have a job and won't work , you have alot of time on your hands to give speeches !!!

[SmoothLadyCriminal]

even a year later this speech makes me tear up...i'm a white person grom the south but michael's message has been instilled in me since i was 4. i never see people as a color or a religion, i see them as people. i look at actions rather than appearances, and thats how it should be

[soulblader7]

@SmoothLadyCriminal You want a medal?

[SmoothLadyCriminal]

@soulblader7 no i dont. i shouldnt have to have one just cause i'm doin the right thing. thanks for the offer tho

[soulblader7]

@SmoothLadyCriminal You are doing the right thing? According to some religions discriminating is the right thing. Who are you to say whats right and whats wrong? You can only assume. Besides, people who have the need to say and clearify that they are doing the "right thing" are, in my eyes, not doing the right thing.

[SmoothLadyCriminal]

@soulblader7 forgive me for offending you, but if discrimination is supposed to be right, then looks like i wont be doing the right thing after all. like i said i was raised to treat people as people, not as black, white, yellow, etc. and if that's wrong, then too bad.

[JZJYRWO]

I agree, his dream was for the good of all men, but let us not overlook how shallow our view of this current world is, our democracy is a front for a corporate dictatorship growing within it, our government is committing genocide to serve imperial greed. Praise what good Michael did, but let us not forget that we are all brothers, and how in that respect, we are losing the battle...

[BobShuthead]

The original meaning of Christianity meant.... To cross out the I. The i, cross it out, cross it away. The me, cross it out. Thats what the true, original meaning of Christinaty was.

[EvilKris]

yeah beautiful speech. i just wish black people would stop using the n word even amongst themselves because all they do is perpetuate the racism and keep it alive. michael never used it and he showed love to all colours and made us less afraid of each-other.

[mjtoursandmore]

no one said it better than Rev. +he does not live for racism. you're the joke mate.

[selemawit14]

Al makes such good points. Michael has played a big role in our history. He began 4 years after the civil rights act. African Americans owe so much to Michael. He opened so many doors for so many people. And I hope he is resting in paradise.

[msblossom77]

you so true....

[MsRedneck55]

thank YOU AL Sharpton for the lovely speech at MJ'S memorial.... ty ty ty thank YOU AL SHARPTON.. and Peace to all!!!!

[Nonoyawns]

Al Sharpton sucks!

[misscarly12]

@Nonoyawns ..no..al sharpton never sucks! his speech says it all.

unless you can't understand it.

[fomastephanovitch]

Al Sharpton is a bottom-feeding charlatan and a poverty pimp.

[cheryll100]

thanks so much for posting this and for your comments on it and Michael. No truer words have been said about Michael.

[stillrob420]

Al Sharpton is a RACE baiter, he lives for racism. He is a joke.

[misscarly12]

@stillrob420 ..i have to agree with you on that..he never molested any children( want proof? feel free to message me and i'll shower you all..not fan made. just from the court.)..and his actions are SOMEWHAT bizarre but that's Michael.

and if you just listened to what Al said, he was never strange. the things that he had to deal with was the strangest!

[cheryll100]

Amen!!! He spoke the truth. Straight from the heart.

[stillrob420]

ALOT of humans were abused as children, how is this used as an excuse? IS there even an EXCUSE for such acts? 40 year old men dont sleep in the same bed in PJ's with someone elses kids, this in not normal behavior and has NOTHING to do with the wantingness to diddle kids. if he did diddle the kids......

[MegaHeart4u]

stillrob420

Before you open your mouth, make sure first that your statements make any sense. What is normal behavior? So is the behavior of third world people where people sleep in one room not normal? Before you judge Michael, why not look at those people who just spent their wealth in collecting jachts, private planes, expensive homes and islands. MJ had only Neverland which he shared with millions of underprivileged and sick kids. Look at yourself first before you judge another person.

[stillrob420]

your a complete moron. pls kill yerself.

[MegaHeart4u]

stillrob420

you're the moron yourself. check your spelling, you idiot!

[stillrob420]

wow nice comeback. totally avoiding the truth

[MegaHeart4u]

stillrob420

And why do you think the jury composed of all whites, found MJ innocent? because MJ was innocent! people who live in LA, know the true Michael Jackson - benevolent, kind, pure, generous - who travelled the whole world healing the world. and you? an ignorant moron who mouths malice and vile. Just get a life you pathetic good for nothing and be useful for society.

[stillrob420]

i never said he molested anyone, i just said his actions and behavior are or were bizzare!

[cheryll100]

and that's what you want your message to be? Sounds more like a mess to me.

[stillrob420]

them people living all together in 3rd world countries are all FAMILY! in one house! not some 40 year old stranger in PJ's! collecting wealth is not as bad as collecting kids asses! YOUR a total moron. and millions of kids DID NOT go to neverland. SO you are basically wrong on all your statements.

[MegaHeart4u]

what you are mouthing is just evidence of your ignorance - you moron. read first the facts before making any conclusion and stop putting any judgment about any person - you're not GOD. You're the joke!

shame on you! you're not worth a nickel

[cheryll100]

stillrob420, no, not millions, but thousands did, and Michael never molested a single one of them.

[stillrob420]

do you know that to be fact? or is that an opinion?

[cheryll100]

you take it any way you want to stillrob420. But yes, as far as I'm concerned it is fact. You would know this too, if you bothered to do the research, it's available to anyone.

[AlexCartlidge]

Many of you doubt Michael because of continous child abuse allegations and many of you doubt the speech was truely genuine considering this was his memorial and a chance to exadurate. The bigger the star you are, the bigger you are a target to the media. Their job is to twist and manipulate stories for readers to interest them. There is so much falseness in the world because they can't simply deny that one man was genuine at heart. I really pity those of you who can't accept a real human.

[annamariajoli]

I admired things about Michael...but

this speech is jus rhetoric.

Michael Jackson was a victim of an abusive childhood and kept battling his demons into his 40s.

in that sense, i felt sorry for him.

[MegaHeart4u]

annamariajoli

That is what the media made us to believe. If you listen to MJ's interviews and speeches, he contradicted these speculations. You don't know MJ, Sharpton has known MJ as a family; so who should we believe?  Don't judge a person just because you hear all those lies from the media.

[paulie227]

SayNoToPC...when whites go on a shooting rampage - what sets them off?

[rimu5]

I honestly did not buy a word of this speech. Many called it amazing, but frankly I thought he over exergerated details and put Michael in the lime light because he was dead. The comment about Michael Jackso breaking racial barriers just made me scoff, and when he told the kids that "there wasn't anything strange about Michael Jackson, it was strange what he had to deal with." That reminds me of what I'm constantly saying "I'm sane, it's the world that's crazy"

[MegaHeart4u]

There wasn't strange with Michael Jackson, it was strange what he had to deal with. He was a genial, creative, benevolent, generous, eloquent, funny, loving childlike, and humble icon and humanitarian who was able to bond with all kinds of races, ages, tribes, religions. He dealt the world with a child's heart and the world couldn't understand this and turned against him putting malice in everything he did.

[rimu5]

Don't get me wrong I love Jackson, and I'm not saying it because his dead. I have five of what I think are his best songs on my mp3 and I actually thought he was innocent, BUT I won't even lie, the man was strange! Strange doesn't mean he wasn't benevolent, loving or humble. I also think he might be a pathological liar. I mean he tells the most blatant lies. He stated that blanket's mother was black and that he only had two surgeries. Are we supposed to believe that?

[MegaHeart4u]

If you really love Michael, than you would believe him and not the rubbishes thrown against him. Read his speeches, his interviews, the lyrics of his songs, his bio Moonwalk, the documentaries Untold Stories of Neverland and The Michael Jackson documentary- MJ's true interview with Bashir, watch his home videos, his concerts and live performances, look at his kids. Then you will understand Michael's vision and there's nothing strange in it. It's the evil minded that's tainting it.

[rimu5]

My bad, I should rephrase that I love Michael Jackson's music as for the man I think he's strange, but we're all strange in some way.

[cheryll100]

well said megaheart4u. and the truth.Michael Jackson was one of the best examples of humanity and decency this country has ever had.

[MegaHeart4u]

cheryll100

That's true. People should stop judging MJ but look at what he did throughout his lifetime - he gave people joy with his music and he shared his wealth and time with the underprivileged. He spent his life healing the world. As Sharpton said, it's not the mess, it's the message.

[MegaHeart4u]

rimu5

You're stating like a know it all. Who are you? Socrates? God? Look at yourself first before you insult another. You're just a speck compared to a megastar like Michael Jackson.

[rimu5]

Socrates? No. Plato? Maybe. Who is God anyway? I'm so glad I'm a speck of dust compared to Michael, because I wouldn't trade my life for Jackson's if someone offered me. The man died because of his addiction, that should tell you alot. "A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat."

[rimu5]

I quote that literary. Actually scratch that quote. He did die with debt, and what do you know, not his fame nor his fortune could save him.

[TheVirabhadra]

Mr Sharpton has made a living off racial politics for a long time and just using the jackson thing as another platform.

[pundek144]

FILTHY NIGGER!!!!!!!!

[sandra42100]

Truly AMAZING speech. Way to go Rev Al!

[tanio12]

Eye Parc why are taking this stuff so personally? If you don't like Mike then this video is not for you why even comment on it. You don't like him move along.

[tanio12]

Derek also go check out the book Michael Jackson Conspiracy by Aprhodite Jones. It is an excellent book and she was there at the trial from beginning to end.

[lindaxgore]

fuck al sharpton.

[eyeparc]

Double fuck this biggot!! Michael th pedophile is now embrased by the black communitity now that he is dead. When he was alive fuckers like you Jamie Fox made fun of him. You buzzards are a fucking disgrace.

[Karrenola]

Good one, Zennie. Had no idea O'Reilly came up with that silliness, but in the end he's just naturally selecting his ilk out. As for Sharpton, saying nothing was strange about Michael Jackson was yet another of his old school fronts and cover ups. He should've cut that and just used that great bit about the strangeness of what Michael had to deal with. However I was very moved by the rest of his speech, especially by the term 'comfort level.' MJ surely made my acceptance in Japan a reality.

[eyeparc]

I too was moved by the race hustlers speech. I had a giant bowl movement!!

[GirlyNation]

Nothing shows how degenerate this Negro family is than having Al Sharpton giving the eulogy.

[iluvSpectacular011]

Dude STFU seriously

[SayNoToPC]

It's the anything-but-sharp-tons who must STFU,seriously. He / IT must also STFU his race gangster mafia / movement( "The facts don't mean nothing.We're trying ot start a movement" ) FOREVER. The PHONY REVEREND is nothing but a Devil in anything-but-clever disguise.

[iluvSpectacular011]

He's not RACIST!!! just shut up...... keep yur dam COMMENT to yourself.............. You dnt even make sense.... Next time you should probably re-read your sentence before you submitted it. YOU BASTARD!!!

[SayNoToPC]

Tell that to the total of NINE innocent people he has the blood of,on his ugly,waxy hands:

Steven Pagonis' friend that committed suicide from the relentless bullshit he and his thugs spewed in the press.

And,of course, the eight ,mostly White, murdered by a psychotic Black Racist, at Freddy's Fashion Mart in HAAAAAH-lum,in december 1995, after being inspired by a hysterical sharpton screech about White "interlopers" in HAAAAH-lum.

WHAT "Racism"?

WHAT "Oppression"?

All the way to the bank.

[SayNoToPC]

Damn right.

Because they're both decadent ,ignorant , misinformed, delusions-of-grandeur,and an overinflated sense of self-worth.And mostly same views of Whites and Jews.

[F5M04]

What did Michael Jackson do for his hometown of Gary Indiana?

[eyeparc]

He got out of that black infested shit hole as fast as he could.

[Danykleestar]

And whenever I watch REVEREND Al Sharpton ´s speech... on youtube My heart cries...PEOPLE JUST UNDERSTAND THE GOOD DEEDS WHEN SOMEBODY PASSES AWAY... and that is unfair...WE ALL LOVE MICHAEL...He taught us to be brothers and sisters NO MATTER WHAT NATIONALITY it was!!! I respect MICHAEL´S MEMORY!!!THANK YOU ... FOR WRITING SOMETHING FOR HIS MEMORY here... THANK YOU to My ALL RUSSIAN FRIENDS that I have YOU in my heart now..

REST IN PEACE MY AMERICAN BROTHER.

[breezypahl]

Al Sharpton sucks.....his a bigot and a racist!

[kmccorm59]

If you can't say anything positive, do not say anything at all

[SayNoToPC]

Then Sharpton's long overdue to do that - especially,against Whites and Jews.Oh, wait....that's how the PHONY,ILLEGAL "reverend" makes his totally immoral "living" - By Blaming Whitey/Jewboys for Blacks not being able to make it here.And it gets RICH from it. You know....RACE BAITING!!!!

All the way to the bank!

[Gam3rgirlz]

favorite speech. amazing amazing. :)

[OutrLiimitz]

The media thought they could make everyone HATE Michael Jackson!

But they only succeeded with the already BIGOTS & RACISTS!

[eljefereal]

Hey zennie, you're getting mj spammer bots.

[Sarttimi]

amazing<3

[sisisinonono]

did you all noticed that blanket seemed uncomfortable every time the cameras focused on him??? that kid is soooo adorable and i truly wish them 3 the best

[sisisinonono]

it was the best speech but also the most ovationated by not only MJ´s closest friends and relatives but the whole staple center.....so raw and true

[chop5414]

best speech of the day. But Rev Al. is known for that..he's a great orator.

[SayNoToPC]

If by great oral-tor, you mean, inspiring an equally psychotic Black racist to go and murder EIGHT innocent mostly WHITE people in Freddy's Fashion Mart, out of dementia,hysteria and paranoia of "White Interlopers" in HAH-lem, as the PHONY reverend screeched that day in december,1995....then yes,he is - a great Black Racist DEVIL "orator".

[kh2freek]

I don't think Michael Jackson did any of that.

[ilovekpop906]

Please take your time and interest about MJ and read and watch everything about MJ - good and the bad.

Also research the people who talk about MJ. Their character and their relationship with MJ.

Then you will understand.

[kh2freek]

If Michael Jackson's was so widespread, I wouldn't have to research anything. get that people from all over the world love Michael's musc, but that doesn't mean the countries and ethnicities are any less disparate for it.

[kh2freek]

Jackson's influence and I get. My brain was not working well when writing that, clearly.

[ilovekpop906]

well, "unethical mainstream journalism" is really a big problem in America.

[brentrob5]

it was that congressman from new york that acted like an idiot saying what he said

[jimisback]

I am conservative. Not racist at all. I am white. I have been a victom of racism, my family really. I am Irish. Members of my family were sold as slaves. So I get a picture as a white person that some do not.. I do not understand how race is even mentioned in this. But I don't understand why race is ever brought up at all. Behaviour and culture perhaps. I just don't get it.

[paulkielsmithdotcom]

Zennie you need to correct yourself. Bill did NOT say it was racist. Why did you make this up? He said he was made a racial deal, not racist. There is a huge difference. Shame on you Zennie

[Ginginova]

Excellent. And I am white and from Europe

[blueyeindian]

I Can't STAND Sharpton.....But I Give it to HIM.....THIs Was An Awesome Speech!!!!

[mx10tothend]

I agree with you his speech was AMAZING.I loved every line of it...and was so happy that he said what he did...the TRUTH!That anyone would make negative comments about what Rev. Sharpton said or about MJ's memorial is strange...very strange!I guess some people just can't move forward or let go of their hate!

[juneroses]

Ok then.

It was an appropriate speech and uplifting. It was fitting for the memorial and I'm glad to see the fmaily enjoyed it. He's obviously a good speaker.

Seperate this time, I don't like this man.

[oaklandfocus]

Great video!!

[juneroses]

I'm sorry. I love Michael Jackson. I still don't love this man. I just don't. Sorry.

[tanio12]

Oh Zennie you know people get mad when you ain't singing the praises of Ronnie Reagan or Sarah Palin. LOL

[eyeparc]

No let's sing the praises of a drug attic gay phedophile. How bout that 8 ball?

[DEREKinNYC]

Zennie62, you are a man of the media. I am frankly surprised that you would give ANY kind of validity to FOX News or any stance those rodents would take on Michael Jackson. F*** FOX News!

[jimisback]

What does Fox news have to do with this?

[SpearMaster]

Bill is on Fixed News

[DEREKinNYC]

Don't insult my intelligence. You very well know that FOX News is racist and it's employees follow suit, whether they want to or not. That's why Jack Cafferty left FOX News and had to rebuild his career. He was too good hearted to recite the racists rants they were trying to force feed him.

[jimisback]

Ok We see what you are too.

[DEREKinNYC]

I don't know what that is supposed to mean (OK We see what you are to), but I think it's time to just agree to disagree and go our separate ways.

Michael Jackson is the Elvis Presley for this generation...deal with it!

[eyeparc]

Except Elvis didn't make it a habbit of trying to fuck little boys in the ass. Hmm I don't see similarities here.

Elvis like to eat banana sandwiches. Michael liked to eat little boys

Elvis gave and gave to people and charities

Michael? Selfish prick who died 500 million in debt.

[DEREKinNYC]

Check your facts, MORON!

MJ has contributed to more charities than any other celbrities. It's actually a world's recored. As for the false accusations, ALL thrown out of court.

[eyeparc]

I would love to look at his books. The only charities he gave to was his time not money. Coincidently it was all for kids. Probably like a dating service for Michael.Bwaaahahah

[tanio12]

Time? huh it takes more than time to make a charity work. Like I asked what charities did Elvis give to like as in money I don't give a damn about time. Hell he could've gave his time at his house.

Dating service? what does that have to do with charities?You lost me on that one PEACE.

D

[eyeparc]

I will go slow so you get it. ,,,

Naw nevermind I don't feel like tutoring you slow ass today.

[tanio12]

No Elvis did more than just eat banana sandwiches and he screwed a 16 year old Priscilla Presley and what charities did Elvis give too. Also how much was Graceland worth when he died.From what I read Priscilla turned it around and made it profitable.

[eyeparc]

At least Elvis wasn't fucking little white boys. Mmmm Mikey do like the little boy white pee pee.

[tanio12]

Eyeparc how do you know what Elvis was or was not doing? LMAO i know you couldn't be that naive to think he was a SAINT? LMAO!

[eyeparc]

No saint but he wasn't fucking little boys either. That's a whole new level of sick.

[tanio12]

Eyeparc how do you know what Elvis was doing? You have heard of fixers right? and have you read the book Michael Jackson Conspiracy? My friend don't let the media trick and mislead you. If they found evidence Mike would be in jail trust me on that.

[eyeparc]

I am not your friend. They did find evidence but after 20 million dollar payout the boy dropped the charges. 20 million dollar ass fucking I guess.

[tanio12]

First of all Eyeparc please understand sarcasm as I don't know you from ADAM damn you even take that serious. anyway what evidence are you talking about?

Nevertheless we need to let the MJ thing rest as if was alive today you wouldn't be a factor and neither would I, you can apply that to Elvis as well. PEACE

[eyeparc]

What? Agree to disagree

[AlanMolstad]

I have yet to find where Bill called the speech "racist".

I dont watch TV but from the Talking Points website I read that Bill just made the one comment- "And why are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton making this a racial deal?"

Thats not really calling the speech "racist".

Where did he do that?

[SpearMaster]

Perfect vid Zennie. You hit the hammer on the head. Actually, I'm gonna make a vid about Bill's statements. I'm not shocked though. Bill ALWAYS says stupid shit.
