I've read a lot of Wacko Jacko bashing in the "MJ is dead" thread, but c'mon guys the guy is gone.....although there was the child molestation case and people cannot forget that, I am sure there are many more people around the world who saw the brighter side of Mike...the guy had a problem, a major problem, a psychological problem since he was abused as a kid. No help. From nobody. If anyone here who depise him (based on the child molestation case) had the chance to help him, would you have helped him? Don't think so. All the money in the world could not solve it. It could only hide it for as long as it could.
Only if we could get into his mind (ofcourse many of you will say "NO thanks!" ) then we will know why he did the things he did. What really happened to this guy?
"From a young age Jackson was physically and emotionally abused by his father, enduring incessant rehearsals, whippings and name-calling. Jackson's abuse as a child affected him throughout his grown life. In one altercation — later recalled by Marlon Jackson — Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg and "pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks". Joseph would often trip up, or push the male children into walls. One night while Jackson was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom window. Wearing a fright mask, he entered the room screaming and shouting. Joseph said he wanted to teach his children not to leave the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterwards, Jackson suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom."
Why did he turn from black to white? Could it be started as a kid when he was involved in the Civil Rights Revolution in Indiana? Part of the racist terror that scared his "skin" so to speak? Instead of the fact that the MEDIA insisted he wanted to be like Liz Taylor????
One philosopher told me, "We can judge the person's act. But we cannot EVER judge the person."
Let's make this post an optimisitc post. His Songs.
