that is so demeaning to me- I hate to even see it..Folk need to quit that mess-

somehow when I see his name shorten like that, lynchings come to mind. I think of how black men were lynched and their private parts were cut off and stuffed into their mouths- and then they were burned alive.

I can't think of another famous person who has been so lynched by the media- deservedly or not- to the point where they have degradated (sp) the only thing he truly has- [b]his name[/b.

his name is Michael Joseph Jackson- think about who started the Jacko mess and ask yourself if you wanna be associated with characters like that.

Oh my freakin' god? are you serious?

Stop acting as if he has not done shit that has brought the scrutiny he gets from the press.

And please don't use a word like lynching to describe someone with as blessed a life as MJ.

Whoa.

yes i'm serious- it's people like you who make others think that mess is o.k.-

its not- its not - it is and was a lynching and you can't justify it

That was random.

Evvy said:

If he was just some regular guy and the press was picking on him, I'd agree with you. He made his bed, he needs to lie in it.

A lynching is hanging someone from a tree. Hardly the case with MJ. If you think the press using "words" is a lynching, you are as delusional as MJ is.

i'm not picking at you personally, but pulease....

...maybe if you had argued anything else...

Timmy84 said:

P just wanted to get you out of the Rihanna thread...


-but I am serious....

I wish somebody would do that to my name- i'm going for the jugular

Evvy said:

What?

Put the crack pipe DOWN. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

I'm going back to big asses thread in GD.....

let's just quit talking about him at all. there. problem solved. everyone's happy.

errant said:

i would accept that too- just don't mention him any more..

Evvy said:

Evvy,the media is a business. It's big bucks in it. He's aware of it. Timmy84 and I were just talking about it. I know it hurts and I dig him a lot, too. He seems to be a good guy who makes poor decisions and he's around cut throat people.

I prefer to call him Wacko Jacko. Rhymes are fun.

Efan said:

I dont understand how someone calling him that affects YOUR OWN PERSONAL life. Im sure you have other things to worry about, rather than getting upset when people call him that.

Not directing that towards anyone, im speaking in general.

uhh yeah- Michael Jackson- the most famous black entertainer- his whole life is legacy- part of our black heritage- it's jacked up that every time I see his name like that it's like someone pooing on part of our legacy.

imagine this happening to President Obama- imagine him- being human- making some bad decisions and ending up at the bottom of mindless degradation

Evvy said:

mmkay i can understand not liking it but it really isn't that serious

Evvy said:

oh my god

Evvy said:

Thanks for speaking for black people.

This hs got to be the most insane thing I've seen on here. And I've been here for 8 years.

Evvy said:

Because MJ and Obama are public figures and a commodity.

while my argument may be irrelevant for today 2-20-09 - it shouldnt be jaw droppin- you may not like him but don't comment on the subject to make it seem like what has happened is a-o.k.- it's sad and sick

commodity: one that is subject to ready exchange or exploitation within a market

Evvy said:

NBut being a grown ass man, he has to take his part of the responsibility for what has happened to him.

I hope that one day, you and MJ will only care about those who love you and not what some faceless strangers think.
