He’s a bit of a mixed bag. Was arrested for protesting apartheid in S Africa but was criticized by SCLC for being silent on issues like black voter disenfranchisement in Florida during the 2000 election. You’re thinking of Bernice, his sister.

seriously! isn’t this just a bit too pretentious? it’s a commercial for exercise clothes, FFS. No one has cured cancer our brought about world peace.

I like the dancing, but the narration reminds me a bit too much of the times I’ve spend with smug art students who like to get high and explain how gifted and special they are. I definitely have entered the eyerolling, “okay, kids” part of adulthood, “get off my lawn” is clearly not far off.

I don’t know. Somehow the psuedo Middle Eastern/North African/Berber (referring to certain tattoo designs, here) veils, jewelry, and facial tattoos were off-putting to me. It is an actual ethnic background from which some of us come, and I do not throw around ‘appropriation’ a lot but anyone with the smallest…

So I’m like a million fucking years old and I understand that this has become my get off my lawn moment but I really do miss a time when selling out was a bad thing.

By 2001 Michael jackson had much more in common physically with a white man than any black man due to all the surgeries...this seems like manufactured outrage

When he died, Michael Jackson was trying to pull together a film in which he would star as Edgar Allen Poe (novelist, pedophile, and white person). Frankly, he’d love that a white actor is playing him.
