*one of the most influential black entertainers of all time is more or less dehumanized throughout the video.

Did any of you read this paragraph?

“I’m sorry but I don’t find anything remotely amusing about a white man vomiting on a black man, especially when said white man has written derogatory lyrics about black people in the past,” wrote “Christine E,” one of numerous angry feedbackers who wrote EUR to vent - not only about the video, but against BET’s decision to air it. “I am disappointed in BET, not only because it’s boring, repetitive and riddled with tired clichés (like every other Eminem video) but also because one of the most influential black entertainers of all time is more or less dehumanized throughout the video. Jermaine Jackson was on point when he referred to the media’s treatment of his brother as a “modern day lynching” and while it does not surprise me that Eminem has decided to contribute to it, I am angered that BET has provided him with a platform on which to do so.”

Eminem is a racist wanker, and BET miss that fact. Strange that.

BET are in debt to MJ if anything. He was the breakthrough Black artist on MTV. They should at least give MJ props by dropping that tosser Eminem from their playlist.

It's so typical American to call this racist !
How pathetic !
How in hell can he be a racist as a rapper ?!
How in hell can he be a racist if he is in D12 ?!

And on top of the he's a closeted homosexual sucking off 50 cent every night LOL

Eminem is a friggin loser

"I hate gays so much that i'll perform with elton john" what a fuck
then the day after the grammy's.....
" i didn't know elton john was gay" gimme a fuckin break

Eminem has virtually no talent, i could rip off Dido and make a rap about how i want to shoot my wife and then insult other artists in a video. What a cheap shot he took at Moby and MJ, 2 men with actual uhhh talent?

Eminem is just jealous he'll never be MJ so he has to insult him, what a dick.

lawd...I never thought I'd see the day that I would defend eminem but here we go....

Michael Jackson DID bring all of this on himself for making bad choices. I personally thought the video was funny. Secondly, Dido was in the Stan video with him so how is he ripping it off. Moby is at best a dj....he sounds like shit. I doubt that Eminem or many others at this point are "JEALOUS" of MJ. MJ has made a mockery of his own career.

Lastly, as much as i'm not an eminem fan, he is one of the best lyricist in hip hop. No doubt.


What did he have in his video that MJ himself didn't say himself.....he has children sleep in his bed. The kids in the video were jumping on the bed. If Eminem REALLY wanted to be an asshole, he could have been laying down with the boys.

I liked the video. MJ is no untouchable. If you make bad decisions, be prepared for what comes afterwards.

Another great point. Although I think people are more angry at Rabbit vomiting on MJ.

I feel you but I gave up on any feelings of indignation after it became apparent that people have reverted back to getting outraged about things such as this post 911. At around that time everyone was all oh-we're-too-good-to-prattle-on-about-silly-s#@! when there's real life things we should be worrying about. But soon after that noise died down everyone jumped on that Peterson guy and Kobe Bryant. So I'm not going to be too hard on us Americans because lets face it people are silly, all over the world, and I'm sure that given a chance, if a third world country's fortunes changed overnight, the people would be prattling on about the same silly s#@!.

reminds me of the Onion's post-9/11 headline "Americans Long To Care About Stupid Bullshit Again"

Okay, I can't stand Emenim. He's a no-talent hack who can't rap, and his voice sounds like Big Bird. That having been said, I think there is waaaaay too much attention being given this whole thing (which is, of course, what Em is going for). Do a video bashing someone in the limelight, and then get all the press in the world for it. He keeps doing this same tired formula every album. All Emenim can do is shock, so that is what he goes for. Give it some time. Eventually the public will start to grow tired of his antics, and he will be a question for the bonus round in "Trivial Pursuit".

Besides, he already lost major cool points with the kiddos when he proved he could Dish it out but can't take it with Triumph the Insult Dog.

As for the racist comments, could they be referring to the controversy from about a year ago when someone dug up a "racist" rap that Eminem did against black women? So in essence they're saying why is this "known" racist given yet another chance to "berate" another african american? (I say in this quote-happy post)
