Michael Jackson has hinted that his new chart rival, Eminem, is a racist by calling American newsman Geraldo Rivera during a protest about the rapper's new video. Jackson is upset with Eminem because the irreverent rapper pokes fun at the pop superstar in his "Just Lose It" video - dancing on a bed with young boys, losing his fake nose on a dance floor and setting his hair alight. And during a live Fox News broadcast on Thursday night from a demonstration by Jackson's fans outside MTV's headquarters in New York, the King of Pop called Rivera direct to comment on the video further and blast MTV bosses for continuing to air it. He raged, "I think that it's demeaning and disrespectful but I also want to make it clear it's not just about Michael Jackson but a pattern of disrespect that he (Eminem) has shown to our community. He needs to stop it and he needs to stop it now." Rivera later stated he agreed with Jackson and blasted MTV bosses, claiming, "It's an attack on people who allow lazy racism to get on the air." Meanwhile, Eminem shows no sign of apologizing for the video and even plans to turn up at the MTV European Music Awards dressed as Jackson. Promoting his new album Encore on Friday, he said, "I've struck some kind of chord with him and I'm not sure exactly what it was that I struck in him that I didn't strike in Madonna or MC Hammer or Pee Wee Herman or myself, all of which I made fun of and spoofed (in the video). I like Michael Jackson, I like him a lot. I'm just happy that Michael Jackson has heard of me."

it just doesn't sound right coming from Michael when it's just "racist" and not "devillish racist"

Now THAT I'd like to see - Eminem outraged by his portrayal by Eminem in an Eminem video!

This is seriously Pissing me off...

Michael is lashing out on a fan

and Eminem is indeed a Michael Jackson Fan

"I like Michael Jackson I like him a lot. This is Eminem's alter ego right now," said Em.

The most revelatory thing about this story to me is that...Geraldo Rivera is still a ... newsman? I guess I don't watch enough tv.

give that man and every other Em hater a fuckin crying towel already...if it isn't one thing it's another.

The good side of me says that Eminem has the right to freedom of speech and Michael has no right to attack him. The evil side of me is glad that Michael is attacking him. I like my evil side better.

A LITTLE BOY'S BOOTY IS A HELLVA DRUG---MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON

Michael should be more concerned with himself than anyone else right about now.


Go drink some jesus juice...

I think Mike wants publicity 4 his upcoming trial.....infact, as far fetched as it seems, u may like to think the whole trial is infact fake and Michael just wants publicity.....Michael is so self obsessed with himself and being famous.....he so wants to always be in the limelight! Well it did not work when he attacked sony (I guess they shut him up somehow).....Mike will do ANYTHING 4 publicity except make music on a regular basis!
