MICHAEL JACKSON shot into fame early in his life, and faced a lot of hardship throughout his time in the spotlight. Now, it has surfaced that the King of Pop apparently wrote some notes in his home condemning the work of some other artists, including the King of Rock N Roll himself, Elvis Presley.
Michael Jackson fans have seen the hardship that the King of Pop endured throughout his life. Starting his career from a young age, the star was involved in the music industry with his family, and went on to start an incredible solo career that he continued until he tragically died
However during the 2003 child abuse allegations, police reportedly found a number of notes written by Jackson during the raid of his Neverland Ranch back in 2003.
These notes were supposedly handwritten and gave some insight into how Jackson felt about other members of the music industry.
The notes are believed to have been written by Jackson in 1987, the same year his show-stopping album Bad was released.
During this time Jackson had already seen quite a good amount of success, but was not as famous as fans may remember him.
One of the notes seems to single out
Elvis Presley, condemning the King of Rock N Roll personally.
Jackson wrote: "Elvis is NOT King.
"I am not prejudiced, it’s just time for the first Black King now."
Jackson later went on to detail his unhappiness with the ongoing racism in the music industry.
He even told of desires to "end racism" in the industry by becoming "so powerful" he could "end prejudice".
He wrote: "My goal is to become so ‘big’, so powerful, to become such a hero, to end prejudice.
"To make these little white kids love me by selling over 200 million albums. Make them look up to me. I will change the world."
He also made some notes on a newspaper clipping of a 1987 Ku Klux Klan march in South Carolina.
On these words he captioned: "I want what’s fair. I want all races to love as one."
Later in the notes he also hit out at The Beatles.
He continued: "Yes these guys were good, but they weren’t better singers or dancers than the blacks."
1996 saw the release of They Don't Care About Us, a powerfully emotional song from the album HIStory.
The music video for the song was
directed by Spike Lee, at the request of Jackson.
On why he wanted Lee to direct that music video, Jackson explained: "'They Don't Care About Us' has an edge, and Spike Lee had approached me.
"It's a public awareness song and that's what he is all about.
"It's a protest kind of song ... and I think he was perfect for it."
