Taking the skin disease at face value, you still have the straightened hair/wig, the narrowed nose and lips, something going on around the corner of his eyes, his eyelids, a mouth you could cap with a manhole cover, and on and on.

Seriously. He didn't even remotely resemble a black man at the time of his demise.

I know Jamie Foxx said at the recent BET Awards, "We want to celebrate this black man. He belongs to us (the black community) and we shared him with everyone else."

I don't think I'd claim him.
I wonder what "his" kids will make of him, given that he was black, and they are very clearly white.
I think the kids are the clue as to how he saw himself.

Helmut Roole has achieved what he always sets out to achieve.....which is a bite.....f*#k he must be good at fishing. As fas as MJ goes Pedophile or not we wont ever know for sure, his music I wasdn't a huge fan of, maybe a different erra, but as far as stage performance he was a true showman!!

Wasn't one of the kids named, Blanket?

Blanket Jackson has a sort of ring to it, I suppose.

TN coverage of MJ's memorial was pretty extensive,

Stevie Wonder was interviewed saying "I never thought Id live to see the day when.................."

Get a grip, fella. MJ was an entertainer. What he does/doesn't do to sell more records is of no real concern of mine - neither is/was his personal life. I bet you got some dirt in your closet that you'd never let see the light of day as well.

Regarding the skin color issue - lessee, what do you have to say for those of "you" that go through all sorts of trouble to get tanned skin - does that disturb you as a white (presumably) man? LOL! You're silly with that comment...I'm comfortable with my Blackness and that's ALL that really matters. I don't take on other people's drama - never have, never will.

Or is this just his opinion, which happens to lack personal or intimate knowledge?
Try reading a few entries prior to mine w/regard to the "dickwad" reference - it'll help clear the fog you're in...

True, but nothing so sorted I'd have to pay $28 million to keep in there.

But Tony, don't you wish MJ could be as comfortable? I'm comfortable with your blackness. I'm not comfortable with MJ's whiteness or his pleas that there's nothing wrong with "sharing your bed with a child," after twice being publicly accused child molestation.

Why the heck should I care? I previously posted (and you should take the advice) that I don't take on other peoples' drama. Why? It's called minding one's own business.

Apparently you desire to keep your true identity a secret for some good reason, probably. You don't want people snooping on you via the net. You'd like people to mind their own business but you know they don't always, so you've resorted to using an anonomous screename to protect your identity.

I don't believe MJ was a child-molester. I believe MJ was a child in an adult's body. I believe MJ sought refuge from the real world by being as close to children (don't let your mind run in the gutter please) as he could. There are many, many more children that will attest to MJ's kindness and generosity towards them versus the number of accusers. MJ's kindness and generosity were taken advantage of by opportunists. Would I have slept in the bed with children? No. Why? Because on the surface it looks bad and can be construed into something sinister. Was MJ guilty of bad judgement - of course. Was it more expedient on all sides to settle the matter out-of-court? Any smart person would agree that it was in order to save (most importantly) the child and the mega-star from the negative publicity.

The question that must be asked is this...what role did Martin,(the "secret sixth Jackson"), play in this?
I suspect the sinister hand of Lance Armstrong is behind it all.
