@seijimutoex absolutely, couldn’t agree with u more my friend.
Peace, Love n God

All in all God …
All in all God knows MJ’s heart. And all in all, His knowing and judgement is all that matters, on this earth and on to eternity. God knew MJ more than he even knew himself, and it’s my belief that MJ is there right now with Him.
Peace at last.
I will continue to enjoy MJ talents, his genius, and most of all, be encouraged by his love and forgiveness he showed. And I will continue to believe that if more people were like him, this world would truly be a better place.

They knw Michael is …
They knw Michael is black n even innocent. I really think half the time sum comment only to see how ur going to react bcuz they have no life. Why else would they find the time to search things on him, I knw if I didn’t like sum1 I’m not going to look them up. It’s just sad the way sum still view him with the help of the media’s negative views on him.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:05 am
@ seijimutoex agree …
@ seijimutoex agree with you. Either you do or you Dnt, some take mj word for it n others don’t, why? Bcuz they’re narrow minded. You can give a great debate n present facts but sum will still disagree n tell u ur wrong. I just think we’re just gonna have to learn to agree to disagree to keep blood pressures( mainly fan’s) from raising even in Michaels case. Even as right as u may be sum will still argue against the facts.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:05 am
Right. At someone …
Right. At someone you’ve got to just take a mans word for it. He has stated more than once in public, on the radio, his private life that was never supose to be public, like the first segment of this video that HE IS PROUD TO BE A BLACK MAN/AFRICAN AMERICAN. At some point you either believe him, or you don’t …you believe his innocents based on evidence presented, or you don’t. I take MJ’s word, he was proud of his race, and it’s truly hurtful to him when pll said otherwise.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:05 am
Why cnt we all just …
Why cnt we all just get along, yes Michael was proud of who he was a black man ok, but unfortunately some still doesn’t believe him n are closed minded n probably will always be that way. We knw what he was n who he is n so did he. Love you Michael!
Peace, Love n God bless!!

Sorry, I see it as …
Sorry, I see it as someone who has been over weight most of their life, AND HAVE LOST THE WEIGHT, even when they look fine to the rest of the world, their own mind and the mirror tell them something different. Just has MJ looked at his nose and was reminded of all those family members who made fun of him.
As I said, His biggest draw was his skin color and his nose. It’s obvious now that lupus was the cause of his skin disorder: watch?v=CX20OjCA8WY His nose, a complex with self image.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:05 am
Brother had a …
Brother had a complex about his nose, for sure. He looked fine even back around 1982, but just couldn’t stop because I’m sure in his own mine it didn’t look perfect. I see it as someone who has been over weight most of their life, even when they look fine to the rest of the world, their own mind and the mirror tell them something different. Who’s to said he had more surgery than any other celeb.
His biggest draw was his skin color and his nose the, then they piled it on watch?v=CX20OjCA8WY

Michael Jackson died a proud African American man. He ALWAYS went around defending his race, and always embraced it in his videos.
