  • marc was right, you don't hear sinatra's name and the first thing they bring up is his mafia associations and kidnappings.

    yet with michael, it's always bringing up things that he was found to be innocent of. let's be real.

    it is a bias. i wouldn't say it's racism. but clearly it is not equality.

  • It wasn't just his 'death coverage' that was racist.

    The media's coverage of MJ for the last 25 years was racist.

  • well on elvis all i gtta say is you aint nothing but a hound dog and forrest gump rip michael jackson

  • James sounds stupid lol. I do understand what Marc says about the child molestation. And I feel that Black people has always embraced mike and claimed his greatness. MJ said in an interview he is proud to be a Black Man. Enuff said and Mike did not bleach his skin Look at the blotches in his skin from younger years to older years.

  • boycott the t,v media and press, they work for the powerful they keep this up, it will backfire and people will tell that mj was framed by

  • I'm so glad that the fans held steadfast and ratings weny down when they tried to

    bring up those lies against him. And truthfully after he died, like Larry King said, it wasn't really even talked about.

    Fox tried to bring it up again but fans: turned it off.

    And they learned!

  • MJ IS A BLACK MAN

  • Part 1:

    Racial bias? Michael was not a hero. He's infamous suspicion of abusin children as well as the suspicion that he was homosexual doesn't make him a hero. This was a man who entertained and he was paid for that. It doesnt convert him into an idol.

  • Part 2:

    Now, Elvis was another generation and people of that generation was not as SCANDALOUS. Moreover, I remember  Elvis sang christian songs, but Jackson did not sang christian songs, did he?

    Moreover, why did mickie married (or chose to procreate) with only white women? Why didn't mickie married a black sista? Why wouldn't anyone answer this question.

  • @SniPerAMeRIcan91 straight to hell you shall go:)

  • james harris actually has common sense unlike all the rest of the negros.. i wish blacks were more like him.especially the huge loud oboxious big mommas that beat their kids in stores
