@Lorrie: I agree with your post 100%. Thank you for expressing your thoughts so eloquently and respectfully.A sad reality, but there is much truth to this article. I wonder how much the society at large "gets" and understands this. IMO, I think you'd have to be pretty naive to not understand it had almost everything to do with race when it comes down to it. The reality is, even in our multicultural and politically-correct world, prejudice, racism, and bigotry still remain. (And many times people are often unaware of their thoughts and actions that reflect this.) Michael's world was not exempt from this, no matter how talented and famous he was. Coincidentally during this investigation while I was watching some Youtube videos and reading comments on articles, I have read horrid and inhumane comments from extremely racist, ignorant people. I have actually broke down in tears reading certain comments, appalled by the downright hatred in people's hearts. Then it hits me that it doesn't help to have hateful feelings in my heart towards them, and more than anything, these people need love in their lives, and someone to pray for them to soften their hearts. I do believe that love and prayer can perform miracles, can change lives, and ultimately, the world. Love is healing. And the world needs a lot of that right now...
Quote from: "DancingTheDream"Michael always said "i dont see colour"I believe God gave MJ vitiligo to blur the divide between black and white.. MJ literally became raceless. I believe that was Gods work even though it caused MJ a lot of pain... it was part of the plan. It was his destiny.I think the SAME thing! It was like, the Vitiligo made him become colorless (literally and figuratively and raceless, therefore touching the lives of so many around the world as a general human being....i think it's a divine symbolic blessing...

I think it has more to do with money and jealousy, than racism. Nowadays most of the young mainstream (pop, r&b etc) artists are black - Akon, Snoop Dog, Beyonce, Kanye West, Chris Brown etc.
Quote from: "Sangre"I think it has more to do with money and jealousy, than racism. Nowadays most of the young mainstream (pop, r&b etc) artists are black - Akon, Snoop Dog, Beyonce, Kanye West, Chris Brown etc.The popularity does not mean there is no racism involved. Just so you know, NONE of the artists you mention are in any state of power where is threating. Owing your own fashion line? No problem. Starting a rap record label? Sure.But when you own HALF of Sony, two record labels, marrying the KING's(Elvis) daughter, well, that is crossing the line to many. There is something more powerful than money: POWER. And you really don't need lots of money to obtain it. Although it certainly does not help. I think a few people were piss that behind the typical singing and dancing black man, there was a genuis behind that. And it threaten their egos when this singing and dancing black man was WAY smarter and more powerful than ever WISH to be.
Paul McCartney doesnt seem to care too much.. neither Yoko Ono. I think that one is hyped up by the tabloids to try and create some drama where there is none.

I think that one is hyped up by the tabloids to try and create some drama where there is none.Paul McCartney did care, actually. It is the main reason that Paul and Michael stopped being friends. Ever since then, Paul has been real awful. He even hoped that Michael would be found gulity in 2005 trials, just because of what Michael did over 20 years ago. I can't stand Paul. John Lennon was the real talent of that group anyway.
