How disrespectful of the media to refer to Michael Jackson as "Jacko" as if he is a clown - a spectacle. It is common for the mainstream media to belittle and demean people of color, especially those who have fame, wealth and power. Every opportunity is taken to not just ruin their name and reputation, but to strip them of any wealth they've accumulated. I personally don't know of any white entertainer who was ever given a clownish or demeaning name regardless of what atrocities they've committed. We've had governors and people in the banking and other commercial industries who have walked away with billions of dollars of taxpayers', employees' and citizens' money only to receive a slap on the wrist and to be reinstated in a new prestigious position somewhere else.Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer who has ever lived. Some people may refer to him as a James Brown/Jackie Wilson wannabe, but I feel that's foolish also. He is Michael Jackson and stands on his own acclaim. He is loved the world over, even in America, despite the constant negative American press. Thriller sold over 750 million copies. No other artist in the music industry has ever matched this figure. And, this title has been held by Michael for almost three decades.
Show me footage of any other entertainer who has people (in many countries and of many different cultures) fainting by the dozens just by their mere presence and performance. There is no one in this world, nor has there been - in the entertainment industry - who could even match the power and the magnetism of Michael Jackson.
There is such a fear and a disgust of a Black man having so much power over people, that everything and anything is done to demean, degrade and defile such a person. If he was white, he would be put on a pedestal like the Beatles, like Madonna - only he has real talent. it sickens me how nonwhites are treated in this society and I will continue to speak out about it and against it and continue to pray that it changes.
