if Mike wasn't this huge pop star & was just some normal black dude you worked with. if you found out this coworker of yours bleached his skin white, had plastic surgery to drastically change his facial features, straightened his kinky, knotty hair, got two white people to breed his children for him to have 3 lily white kids & stopped speaking to the "black" side of his family..........if this coworker of yours laid all that on you one day in convo., you saying you would sit back & think
that's a proud black man right there
fukk outta here
and I was born in the 80s
Thats a dumbass analogy. Mike lived damn near his entire life in the public-eye. That one factor alone is too big to set aside for any comparision. You can't compare Michael Jackson to some normal average person. That shyt is just asinine.
His skin he couldn't help. He had a disease. By the mid 90's he lost half his hair due to the same disease, which is why he wore wigs. Matter of fact he tattood the entire front of his head (his scalp) BLACK to try and cover it up. He covered his white blotches with dark pancake make-up for YEARS (the Thriller years) until the white blotches took over (this is related to the Pepsi burn incedent- his body went into shock and sent the skin disease into overtime). Thats why he got white hella quick around '85 '86.
As for his plastic surgery...THE ENTIRE FAMILY HAD IT DONE. Even Mama Katherine. DO they ALL hate themselves too? How about Vivica Fox, she had her nose done what about her?? What about every single other black celebrity who had that shyt done? Not everything is related to RACE. Some of you fools sound like you're projecting some of your own insecurities when you say shyt like that....
He never stopped "speaking to his black side of the family"
shyt he accepted La Toya back into his life even after the bullshyt she pulled in the 90s. He had more loyalty to his fam than most folks would have in his position. The whole Jackson fam had family get togethers once a month and he was always there with his kids. Matter of fact this pic was taken 1 month before his death:
As for the kids, you got me there, I don't really understand why he chose white kids. Although the 3rd one looks like he might be his biological off-spring. But again, I just chalk this up to him being wierd.
I was an MJ fan so I paid attention to his life and whenever he was in the news, and these little tidbits i offered in this post make it not as simple as you put it. Things are never that simple. Put a magnifying glass on ANY individual to the same extent they did to MJ (more than anyone else EVER) and you'll probably see a lot of bullshyt there too. I just don't see anything to cause people to come at him with such hate. Dude was crazy and weird but he was also harmless and misunderstood like a mf.
