Is Michael Jackson the most conscious/pro-black MAINSTREAM artist we've ever had?

[Booker T Garvey]

Out of MJ's entire discography...he made some interracial love ballad in Black or White, one song about systematic racism in They Don't Care About US after cacs turned on him and tossed him in the bushes


Stevie Wonder made songs shytting on entire presidents in the prime of his career...

Prince been talking about race before Purple Rain...and he shytted on the Ronald Reagan

Janet Jackson dedicated an entire album to social justice ...

Kanye West bipolar ass..every album he's done he's talking about race and racism...


Michael Jackson made like 4 songs...GTFO...

MJ was raised jehovas witness so he didn't vote or do "politics" as we do - so a song about a political figure didn't even hit his radar..but pull up a seat:

Also are we playing a little internet forum game where humanitarian songs aren't "woke" songs now?

- man in the mirror
- why you wanna trip on me
- JAM
- heal the world
- SCREAM
- The Lost children
- HIStory (the song)

also here are some subtle ones people may not know about:

Michael Jackson actually shyt on TRUMP in this song at 3:18
"If you want it, earn it with dignity........Morgan....Trump....Rockefeller....Carnegie.."


Anti-War song that was mysteriously pulled from INVINCIBLE at the last minute:


and what social justice album is this that janet dropped?

James Brown

Amazingly, "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud". was a Number One record for six weeks on the Soul Chart and a Top Ten record on the Pop Chart in 1968.

Now those were different times!

‘SAY IT LOUD – I’M BLACK AND I’M PROUD’ WAS A LOVE SONG FOR ME
AND BLACK AMERICA

During the summer of ’68, I discovered black beauty was a song and a pretty girl

BY JEFF RIVERS @JEFFRIVERS2
August 6, 2018

"This month, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Brown’s song being recorded. I’ll play it for old times’ sake. I’ll play it and luxuriate in the dance-floor revelation and sensation, the herald of changing times, that the song was."

A graduate of Hampton University, Jeff Rivers worked for Ebony, HBO and three daily newspapers, winning multiple awards for his columns. Jeff and his wife live in New Jersey and have two children, a son Marc and a daughter Lauren.

Can’t be pro-black when you have pure white kids. He left his legacy to cacs.

Michael Jackson was friends with Trump and admired him...

Trump defend Michael Jackson against child molestation allegations...Michael Jackson wanted to be the richest entertainer in the world...he wasn't shytting on JP Morgan, Trump, Rockeller or Andrew Carneige...he was using them as an example...of people who earned money with dignity...

Donald Trump and Michael Jackson: The full story behind a mysterious friendship | Michael Jackson Book - Making Michael by Mike Smallcombe






And if you gotta compromise yourself because of your religion...then you not conscious...he gonna make Thriller with supernatural shyt in it but you can't make songs about Black people lmao...

You in the height of Crack Era making songs about fast cars and being bad and shyt....your sister dropped Rhythm Nation, your rival Prince dropped Signs of the Times...pop artists making socially conscious shyt


And if his little bullshyt so called humanitarian songs are considered "woke"....then Michael Jackson definitely ain't the most mainstream conscious artist...

Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Tupac, Sly Stone...got him beat on all that shyt...and they were wildly popular and successful and renown...and they were making songs about fukking actual shyt...like babies born from rape, lynchings, AIDS, child abuse, race riots, police brutality, colorism...


And Rhythm Nation is a social justice concept album...she made a whole album about social issues...and she kept making songs about social justice issues throughout her career...


The rush to make Michael Jackson...the most commercial minded artist of all time...some type of "Pro-Black", socially conscious guy...is funny as hell...when Black artists throughout history has made more overt claims to their Blackness and the outside world at their peak than he ever did...

I also nominate Fela Kuti

MJ literally gave all of his wealth to 3 white kids. How the fukk is he the most pro-black.

You don't know that they're white. Halsey looks just like em and we know her father is black.

Go ask his kids what race they are? They'll fight you if you say they ain't black.

Now answer me this: Why would MJ raise his children to self identify as black if they ain't his?

 

[Swagnificent]

VITILIGO?

WHY DOES MJ HAVE FULLY WHITE KIDS?





​

How do you know they are fully white? You run some paternity tests on em?

I've seen many mixed kids that LOOK like they're white. Just look at Halsey.

1) Michael Jackson recorded that song years after he and Trump linked up - he was clearly shytting on him in that song. But you keep going on thinking that he was praising rockerfeller in a song about earning money with dignity

2) You're the first person i've EVER heard or read about saying that janet jacksons rhythm nation was a "conscious" album

3) I said that MJ was NOT the most "pro black" artist and that Chuck D is

I'll leave you to it though man, you're clearly operating on another level than myself

I like MJ but he can’t be called pro-black when his children are Present Caucasians.

I'm seriously beginning to question if yall are even black on this site.

You do know Mike raised his children to self identify as BLACK. He taught them black history and to be proud to be black. Even to this day, his children identify as black even with idiots like you calling them white their entire lives.

So answer me this. If Mike was really thus self hating dude who secretly wanted some white children, why would he raise them to believe they are black? And to be proud of that?

Maybe its time for yall to consider that those are his actual kids and the brotha just had some weak genes. It can happen. We've seen mulattos like Halsey or Muhammad Ali's grandchildren come out looking almost all white.

 

[Swagnificent]

Michael was ashamed of his black skin. And he also said he wish he was Arabic too

The original Arabs were black dummy. Mike is more of a student of history than you'll ever be.

Nothing wrong with wanting to be associated with blackness around the globe.

 

[Swagnificent]

BLACK OR WHITE Wasn’t pro black, neither was we are the world

We Are The World was to raise money for famine victims in Ethiopia stupid. It was to spearhead relief for Africa. How is that not pro-black?

Black or White was an anti-racism/anti-prejudice message. Remember that was when Apartheid was going on. Mike was trying to change the world in a positive direction for black folks.

You must not be very smart if you can't see this.

Man stop.

There’s not a drop of negro blood in her.

Are you for real?

Maybe, maybe there’s a slim chance this is his biological child.

Michael Jackson’s dad was part Native American but there’s no way in hell all three of his children just happened to skip the black genes.

The other examples you mentioned have signs of black ancestry. The only thing black on Michael’s children are their clothes.

The concept of "pro-blackness" has sure radically changed during the Smartphone Kids generation.

For those of us who actually "Remember The Time."

His first "girlfriend" was Tatum O'Neal.

Then, he claimed Brooke Shields after the success of Off The Wall

For his first wife, he marries Elvis's daughter

Second wife Debbie Rowe and the mother of two of his children

During the Jacksons 30th special and entire event, he sits with his "surrogate mother" Elizabeth Taylor instead of Katherine Jackson, the black woman who birthed and raised him.

Brooke Shields was fine as hell back then. What man in his right mind wouldn't wanna be with her?

Also just cause you like white women don't mean you can't be pro-black as a black man. Frederick Douglass is proof of that.
