Michael Jackson's Mark on a Black-or-White World

He tipped his hat and moonwalked across the stage like no one had ever before. Even Fred Astaire had to give Michael his props. But today, Thursday, June 25, the King of Pop is dead. Michael Jackson's made his mark on the world, body and soul. But what we must not forget is that world marked Jackson as well. In his last days, assimilation and denial were sadly written all over his face. In death, we pray that peace finally finds the music man.

@harveysuperboy DUMBASS FAT LAZY BLACK TROLL WITH NO EDUCATION!

[harveysuperboy]

@dangerousvampiregirl Undertand this Mike did complain about what he was doing,and he did forgive and started to see why his father acted the way he did. Alot of you so-called Jackson fan have not watched every interview he did. And don't tell me what to say,always got some white person telling blacks how they should feel.It was not Mike father that attacked him for 20 years it was the white Jewish owned media that did that.

@harveysuperboy I think you don't know what you are talking about, Mike never complained about the hard work but he used to talk about a difficult childhood because he didn't felt a father's LOVE, that's the key. Maybe your family had to work hard but i'm pretty sure they also have love, so don't say that, it's sad...

[harveysuperboy]

You said he could he done anything with that following! He did and the white owned Media Lied on him at every turn. He gave more money to diffirent groups than any other human on this planet. But sadly folks(some) will only remember the lies. But as I said Before Mike trusted the wrong people. All those so called friends had something to say about his family when none ever even met them.

[harveysuperboy]

My father picked cotton,his brothers picked cotton,his sisters also picked cotton,didn't have alot and i've never heard them say I didn't have a childhood. Mike had pets and was rich. I betcha they would have jump at the chance to go over the world stay at the best places etc. It's an insult to alot of blackmen and women Mike age to say he had it hard.

[harveysuperboy]

He did not harm any kids. The FBI was watching him for years. And if we're gonna blame Mom&Dad what about the people at Motown and the other famous adults around him. It's easy to blame black parents when their kids mess up.But do we do the same when white kids mess up. Mike even said that he should have not said those things about his father.Joe loved his son. And what is normal?? Mike was a grown man.

@harveysuperboy well ya he was a child sucker. Im just saying his parents helped along with everything else.

If he'd of been normal he could of done anything with that kind of following.
