An Excellent Read, that Exclusive MJ would encourage our readers to pass on to family and friends…

Does the world care when a creep goes after underage girls is still making
money and recordings because his victims were black - similar to when
African American children go missing, the Amber alert and national calls to
look by the media rarely occur
“I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual
makes to his or her fellow human beings.” Margaret Mead
I promise: this is most likely my last write on this subject as there are
many more important things to speak of … like the firing of two editorial
writers from the Indianapolis Star — one black male, one white female —
for mentioning God in their respective columns. They are suing to get their
jobs back and they should. But I digress.
I have noted the commentaries, run-on verbiage from those who have shows
where they own the power over the microphone, et al. Funny that so many
“overlooked” the statement made firsthand by one of the jurors who agreed to
the group interview. She clearly stated that many of them went into the
trial with a bias or pre concluded view of Michael Jackson’s guilt, but when
they as a group decided to look solely at the evidence they found him not
guilty. So it really wasn’t about how the accuser’s mother looked or behaved
or that he was a pop star, it was about the evidence. Unlike the OJ trial
where the reasoning the media hyped was that the jury had people of color on
it and that was why he was freed, the same conclusion could not be made
about this jury. (By the way, my take on that was that OJ didn’t do it, but
may know who did. My brother has the same injuries to his knees that OJ has
and said there’s no way physically he could have personally done it. I am
totally not an OJ fan so I have no bias.)
That said, let’s just think for a moment about the big picture. Here we have
a black man who, granted, is at best eccentric and private. He never had a
real childhood publicly or privately. So when he was old enough, he decided
to create what he always wanted and become a child of sorts. He was naive
enough to believe that such behavior would not only be okay with the
universe, but actually be embraced. Add to that the fact that MJ is a very
stubborn, somewhat controlling man.
This is a rich black man surrounding himself with mostly white children. Not
an acceptable situation for most in this country, so something must be
wrong. You see, it didn’t matter to the world that the creep that goes after
underage girls is still out there making money and recordings because his
victims were black. Similar to when African American children go missing,
the Amber alert and national calls to look by the media rarely, if ever,
occur. Has it ever occurred to those who believe that he is guilty that if
that is true, then why didn’t any of the ex-employees, who claimed to have
seen something, have enough guts to walk in remove the child and go to the
police immediately? They would have been deemed heroes and had a book or
movie deal, because that’s how it works in the US. Why would parents
continue to leave their children on the property unattended if there was
even a hint that there might be any truth to the allegations? And why hasn’t
the prosecution ever gone after the parents for complicity in these alleged
matters?
Don’t get me wrong; I fault Michael for being stubborn and just stupid for
putting himself in the position of being electronically lynched by the media
and the court of public perception. I hope he has learned his lesson and
takes responsibility for his part in this, or it will continue to cost him.
If he wants to be angry, he should start with himself. Even Oprah has
learned (to some degree) that even she can’t walk into any store without
them seeing her race first and who she is second.
I wouldn’t get all caught up in the idea that because he has been accused
more than once he must be guilty. The evidence doesn’t prove that out and
Michael chose to settle cases because he treasured his privacy more than
money. He no longer has that luxury, he lost that right when he chose to
keep doing what he’d always done, believing that the truth would prevail.
Truth nowadays is only as true as people choose to see it. It is a colossal
mistake to believe otherwise
