More amazing to me than the media's shameful, unapologetic publication of Michael's autopsy photo, was the fact that so many fans actually reposted the picture!

    Beautifully Stated!!!!! I couldn't agree with you more!!!

  2. jasminewhite says:

    100%. Even adding to that in other sort of way is how fans repeatedly indulge in cynical arguments knowing that they're going to get no where with certain people. I think one of the many reasons MJ stayed quiet about the rumors is because he knew it would turn into a he said/she said thing when he started defending himself. He'd say something and "trusted sources" would say another. Ultimately it would just become a way of the media grossing even more money as people tuned into the ping pong match. Same as MJ having chosen to indulge would've been feeding those reporters families for generations, we as fans are just feeding into the amusement of people who live solely to aggravate and get in a laugh to see how much they can rile us up.

    S.M.H.

    Hey Jasmine.

    I so agree! I think there's worth in just standing on your opinion w/o bickering. I don't understand how some fans don't see that they are behaving exactly like the people that they are supposedly against. And lumping people into groups is also a problem I have. Not everyone who disagrees with a certain point about MJ is a "hater". :pouty:

    Of course same here. I don't have a problem with people whatsoever if they just don't like Michael or disagree with some things he's done. My issue with "certain people" who fans argue with is the ones who refuse to see reason when they provide good, solid right under their nose. Those people who are hellbent on believing him to be ___ as though they have some type of prejudiced vendetta against him is who I mean. Outside of them I have no problem with people forming their own opinions or disagreements with Michael, I may indulge in debate with them, but it's the ones who are insisten on calling him a pedophile and then adding cracks into the mix for laughs that Piss. Me. Off. (in an orderly manner, of course ;))

    The ones who say he's a pedophile and weird, etc., these are just broken people who are projecting stuff onto him. I think, if I can say one of the things Michael's life has thought me, is just how hateful people can be for no reason whatsoever, even in the face of evidence that shows that they are dead wrong, and also how other's can stand aside and watch that and say nothing -- I really don't know what's worst. And you know, there are even people who will defend the hateful behavior.

    Sabine I agree with you!

    But please correct me if I am wrong! IMO I believe that Michael was always a "target" of the tabloids, paparazzi and media because he was a successful "African American Male"! that made it big in the world! I feel as if they crucified him because of his success! He made good business decisions like purchasing the Sony ATV catalog, danced like no other, and sang with such soul! He sold out stadiums in a heartbeat! Had fans all over the world! He gave back to society in more ways than any other celebrity!

    I feel that the judge could have had the autopsy photo of Michael only shown to the jury and members in the court room! I cannot understand why they would again have to victimize him, especially when he was so private and 'self-conscious of his skin condition
    Michael never judged people by the color of their skin and he was proud to be a black American! I am not a black american, I am caucasian, but my parents raised me to never judge people we are all created equal in the eyes of GOD! I hope as a mother that I have raised my children in that same way! I do not see the "color" of a person's skin, and I have so many wonderful friends from all walks of life because of it!

    I am sorry that I am rambling but it just bothers me that the "press" still demoralize him even it death. Let him REST IN PEACE. Give him the dignity he deserves!

  7. Sabine says:

    Oh, I absolutely agree, and even more, I think it is ignorance and jealousy, which racism is just a mask for. So people were just insanely jealous of him. They were attracted to his genious but some people also hated him for it -- sad but true.

    Michael was a proud man, and the history of America has been to try to strip a man of that pride if you happen to be a man of color, that is also a sad truth that history supports. How man men of color has America done that too?

    But we know it's not just only color that motivates that kind of behavior, because America's media has done it to people who are "white" too. So in the end I just think it's evil!!!!

    You weren't rambling at all. Thanks for commenting! :thankyou:

  8. nancycastelli says:

    Sabine,
    Yes the press has slandered people who are "white" but it seems that Michael got it worse! Maybe it is just me! I agree with what you said above! I think "greed" also played a big role in Michael's death! People would do anything for money!

  9. Sabine says:

    Absolutely, for whatever reason they had it in for Michael :yes:
