for everyone saying how much they hate Joe Jackson, listen to yourselves. think about what Michael would feel hearing his fans, who he loved , carry so much hate for his father. Michael was abused by Joe beaten almost daily and Joe all but ruined Michaels self esteem, but Michael forgave him, and regardless Michael did love his father and had a lot of respect for him. Michael was made of love and he would expect the same from his fans. no joe would have ment NO MICHAEL! show a little respect, ok

ugh Joe Jackson your such a heartless man. A little hard on him? He would beat Michael and his brothers with belts and cables, I dont deny that Joe didnt love michael but he was too strict and Michael lost his childhood because of it. I hope michael is finally at peace, I love you xxx

Only reason I cannot hate him is because Michael wouldn't be here without him..

Joe looks like a pathetic ass Mississippi Pimp! damn Joe. Him and Katherine made a beautiful sole like MJ. Other than that that SOB gets no F''''''' respect from me. What a Bastard! Has a Love Child named Jovannie Jackson!

Joe Jackson was a man fearful and frustrated. The values and passion are not instilled with shock and fear. MJ excelled, also reaching a stage where the workforce was distancing itself from him, I fired. One thing does not justify another, everyone knows that is wrong. MJ knows this , that was a different father.

For people saying they wish Joe Jackson was never born, then you must not like Michael Jackson because without Joe, there would never be Michael.

@JusticeF0rMJ that was his way of expressing fear. many children are burned, stomped etc and grow up to be good goods. all kids need discipline the way joe did it.

[JusticeF0rMJ]

@draziom902 But again, like I said, MJ vomited at the sight of his father, and cried and the thought of him. Should all children vomit and cry when they see their parents?

[draziom902]

@JusticeF0rMJ Joe did what was right. His kids turned out to be good. All kids need discipline like what Joe did to his kids.
