As you all are aware, Michael Jackson is in the news. His death has been ruled a homicide.
I’ll just say up front that I am still actively grieving his death. Got all teary eyed about him today while driving home. Like many of you out there, I grew up with this man and view him no differently than I would an eccentric cousin.
Do a search of his name and you will find that I was hard on him at times—-just as I would have been to a family member. But my being hard on him was my way of saying, “STOP ACTING CRAZY AND WAKE UP!” I was hoping against hope that Michael would return to himself.
He was a strikingly handsome child and teen and even into his early twenties. So sorry he did not see it and no one could convince him otherwise. Sorry he hated being black. Sorry for so much about this man.
I’m both upset and horribly disappointed that my wish—that he would return to himself—the normal person he was when he was young, was never granted.
Be that as it may, I won’t be covering the dramatic events pertaining to his death or the trial that will certainly take place. Too painful. Michael isn’t just somebody. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
If anyone comes to this thread bad mouthing, peeing on a dead man’s grave, you’ll be promptly banned. I just thought it would be fair to warn you. If you have nothing kind to say, hold your peace/piece or take it somewhere else.
The week following his shocking death, I basically shut down this blog and dedicated a week to covering positive aspects about him. I said all I have to say there.
Now as I continue dealing with my personal grief, I’ll post one of my absolutely favorite Michael songs. He was 10 at the time, a musical phenom if ever there was one. Especially gifted by God.
Love you Mike! Miss you!

Froggy,
Considering that I threatened to ban anyone coming here to insult Michael, obviously my comment about him hating the fact that he was black was not meant as a slam; rather, it was a statement of fact.
Evidence:
1. Had extensive and abnormal surgery on his face. At least 7 surgeries on his nose to make his nose as European as possible
2. Had lip and jaw surgery to smoothe out his black features
3. Only dated and/or married white women and black women were never a consideration
4. So determined to have white children, he used the sperm of white men for his first 2 children
I believe he hated being black and some of that was as a result of how he was talked to when he was a child.
He was a strikingly handsome child and teen and even into his early twenties. So sorry he did not see it and no one could convince him otherwise. Sorry he hated being black. Sorry for so much about this man.
Cannot add anything more to that. I will be following the trial closely as I am curious as to how: (1) the medical profession will protect “its own” and (2) the pharmaceutical industry will use its best PR efforts to downplay prescription drug addiction and drug peddling by medical “professionals”.
My favorite MJ song from way back when: It’s Great to Be Here
RIP MJ
