It needs to cost money to support and advocate for predators. Like this, this is costing Louis Vuitton money. Nobody watching films by certain directors or starring certain actors: money. That’s the only way the world is ever going to change: abuse and/or looking the other way need to become just too costly.

The vast majority of us aren’t from the projects so no, you actually don’t.

Who the hell ungreyed this bullshit?

Her neighbor, an African-American, says she is nice (or words to that effect) abd his grandkids play with her children.

First of all, thank you, again, Michael. You always bring it and you come hard w/ facts, stats and truth. But more importantly, this needs to be where the conversation goes post-scandal:

Two tiered system? You don’t think people with buildings names after them at Harvard are actually sending their kids public school do you?

Given the things that have been coming to light out of all of this, one should honestly be asking, if marginal students like Donald Trump or Jaren Kushner can buy their way into ‘high-profile’ ivy-league degrees, are they really any better educated or equipped than anybody else from any OTHER university? The answer is…

I am a proud black mother of a black son who recently graduated from Harvard University School of Business. The “key” to his success is a brilliant mind and an extremely strong work ethic.

You want me to pull myself up by my bootstraps but take my boots away and then say it is my fault that I’m barefoot.

I was born in the late 70's and I was a huge MJ fan as a kid in the 80's, but for so many people to now be shocked by the obvious fact that he’s a pedophile is just ridiculous.

When I was in college - back in the long long ago - I scheduled my classes so that I wouldn’t miss All My Children. What I remember from then is how we thought Michael was trying to look like LaToya, not the other way around.  

The public labeling someone speaking about abuse and airing family secrets as “exploiting a personal matter” is why so many people stay quiet about abuse, rape and incest. Who wants to open themselves up to criticism and questions about one of the most painful periods of their life, especially when they feel they…

I imagine there was no cash incentive - just being that iced out by your family - no matter how toxic had to hurt.

I remember this entire thing. Everyone thought she was just Jackson’s crazy sister, trying to piggyback his fame...talking like him, looking like him, ect. The talk shows and tabloids (which if you weren’t around then, it was the be-all-end-all of pop culture and celebrity news) had a field day talking about her, and…

Yes - she was right. Her brother was a pedophile. I can only imagine what kind of cash incentive she must have been given to make her try and take back the claims in later years.

Same. I think he’s a pedophile through and through. This is just another distraction, IMO. Let’s keep the main thing the main thing. This fool’s trial and conviction is all I care about right now. 

What in the Abducted in Plain Sight: Chocolate City is this? I made it to the 3-minute mark. 

Imagine if a dead white artist was a boy loving pedophile that only molested black boys, what an uproar the black community would be in.

As a straight man myself, it would take a lot to convince me that two straight males would face the world to lie about having sex with Michael Jackson, knowing full well they were, and are getting so much hate from blinded Jackson fans. After all, since 1993, he has been accused of child molestation several times.…

“fooling with”? nah, no euphemisms for an adult preying on children.
