/bravo/ @Tink because you are so right. All of this was perpetuated and driven because certain people in high places did not like the fact that Michael was a black man, whom they considered uneducated in the traditional sense, and weird, yet who had the power to win the hearts of their daughters and sons, had ammassed a fortune, and could walk and talk and eat and entertain any and every class of man from the greatest of dignitaries to those they considered the grunge of the earth, at the same table and make no differences between them. He had everything they never could and never would; respect, class, dignity, compassion, humility, power and love from every corner of the universe, and they simply couldn’t stomach it. “How dare he” ! And obviously they were so humiliated and envious of Michael’s standing in the world that they set out to do everything in their power to change it. Scumbags & hate mongers. Envy, hate and ignorance, the bottom line.
I totally agree on the "black race" issue in our society today. I'm currently dating a black man (I'm white) & he's very educated. Because he's from England, & most associate English men being white. When he moved here in Wisconsin, he started a very good job, & all the employees we're told that his name is Chris & he's from England. Some of the top big wigs for the company told him that there was some employees that we're fond of "black people" being successful. Chris had brought to the meeting 2 glasses of water half full. He introduced himself, & asked "him team" if anyone knew why he would have the 2 glasses of water? No one responded, because they we're taken back because he was black, & they thought they we're getting a white guy for their new boss. Back to the 2 glasses of water, Chris asked if he cut himself & dripped his blood in the glass of water it would be the same as the "white" people that we're all in the meeting. We all bleed the same color. So the outside skin color doesn't change the color of the blood. It's the concept of closed minds that "see color".
@Ruinedbad (http://www.youtube.com/comment_search?username=ruinedbad) I too missed this point. I missed it because I don't think of monkeys when I think of black people.
@embee87 (http://www.youtube.com/comment_search?username=embee87) Are you one of these sheltered white people who pretends to be ''politically correct'' about black people and acts extremely shocked when someone else calls them out for what ''they really are'' (niggers). I'm sorry but you have no idea what they're capable of, they're not the friendly smiling middle-class African American types you'd see on ''The Cosby Show'' oh no, they are wild animals and they would gladly murder you for your wallet or ''nice watch''.

If you want to skip the first video, this is the best part where they say it was about racism and more, but can’t say. They are funny and cute too.

Good story LoveShyMichael!
Yes I believe racism is still alive and well, but more subtle.
Just on the theme of racism, in Canadian hockey (I don't follow at all) last fall there was an incident of racism towards a black player (there's very few), where someone threw a banana on the ice. It was a big thing in the press, but no one would ever actually say the R word, only that it was offensive etc. No one actually said that bananas mean monkeys and monkeys mean blacks are further down the evolutionary scale, but EVERYONE, it's assumed knew full well what was meant. So it's silent racism. I'm sure Michael dealt with that ALL the time.

Why not just tell people I’m an alien from Mars?
Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight.
They’ll believe anything you say, because you’re a reporter.
But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, “I’m an alien from Mars,
and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight,”
people would say, “Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts.
You can’t believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.”
~Michael Jackson
'Red Tails' Travails Highlight Hollywood's Racism•

George Lucas put Hollywood on blast during an interview with Daily Show host Jon Stewart about his struggle to find a distributor for his latest work, Red Tails.The Hollywood veteran did not bite his tongue while explaining why he had such a tough time, Mediabistro reports:
”It’s because it’s an all-black movie. There’s no major white roles in it at all. It’s one of the first all-black action pictures ever made.
Lucas spent 23 years making the film, which is based on the true story of a crew of African American pilots who fought in World War II and helped start the civil rights movement. “I financed it myself. I figured I could get the prints and ads paid for by the studios and that they would release it,” he explained to Stewart. “And I showed it to all of them, and they said, ‘Noooo. We don’t know how to market a movie like this.’ It’s not green enough.” And by green, Lucas means profitable.
Kudos to Lucas for shedding light on a problem that blacks from all walks of life (except former GOP presidential contender Herman Cain, apparently) know about all too well.

L.O.V.E.
Seems like USA has always had a problem in that matter. At the end it does not matter the color of your skin. Look at Obama, being elected by many black people because of his skin color instead for what he could bring to the table. At the end, deception. He did not keep up with his promises, as all the politicians usually do. He has not been any different.
MaryKYes, they do seem to be guided by a wise dad!
Actually Paris mentioned that film yesterday on her twitter:ParisJackson Paris Jacksoηtbh i cried during Red Tails… amazing movie. my new fav<3 creds to George Lucas!! ur a genius, dude, ive always been a fan (:21 Jan I wonder how Michael´s kids always are aware of and watch such interesting movies with important messages ;-)

Just the other day my husband mentioned he wanted to see Red Tails, and I said I didn't like war movies, but maybe now I will go with him afterall.
@miss g
I agree with you on the "black & brown race card". This is not being racist this is being totally honest as American's. C'mon are American's that niave that no one can see the people the government agencies target? Black & Browns get targeted for vaccines, lower income, lower IQ, what should really make American's mad is because that's the race they target, that's the race that seems to LOVE OBAMA. I'm disgusted to think that because Obama being black he was able to talk other "black & brown" people into lifting him up being the savior to save this country. When in return he has walked hand & hand with the corrupt scum bags who enginereed this whole mess. Obama knows he will be the most hated president. He knows that. Obama is not working for USA. He works for Wall Street. I'm currently dating a black man & we discuss this all the time, with him agreeing with Obama playing the "black card" & preying on others of same color to get them to like him, with all the LIES, & DECEPTION.
@TINK....
We also need to see this as they are, not as how we want them to be. The color of Obama is what made him deceptful. That is what people should be angry about.
As long as the government can keep us American people fighting about race, they can continue to get away with the stuff they are doing.
Watch the Obama Deception. & The Fall of the Repulic. Both can be download full length on You Tube.
This is will tell you how Obama was "groomed" & done deal" for the president.
This is will be the best movies to understand what Obama was able to sell the NWO....
