Can you imagine the reaction if Michael said some shit like this?

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/goingson/2008/11/behind-the-scen.html

We were having a larger conversation about his belief system and his politics. He told me he didn’t have a horse in the November election and that he didn’t believe in getting involved with these kind of earthly contests. I had asked him if the fact that Obama was black didn’t compel him to get involved.

He said, “Why?”

And I said, Well, because you’re black.

And he said “Am I?” and held up his wrist next to my ruddy one. Indeed his skin was lighter, and he cracked up.




Some of the kool-aiders want to still act like Prince is Prince X.

You´re right. That would be all over the news.
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

Prince has always been a joker, but the brutha's a lot more racially mixed than Michael. That's obvious.
