They're all screwed up, I think the only "normal" ones are Janet, Marlon, and Rebbie

We need more "Joe Jacksons" in the black community to straighten some of these n**** out!

You know it
Or some "Ike Turners"

NastradumasKid said:

Ike Turners? HELL NO!

I just think some of the people bashing Joe are really just frontin
especailly if you're black
you know damn well you got your ass whooped growing up to

Timeouts don't work!

What about Bill Cosby? Seems nice but he'll probably be like "don't play dumb with me!" I'm sure you've seen his comedy routines. His father was more stern than Joe was.

Go to 0:39 MJ smacks Paris's head in a very "how you doin'" way because she didn't say thank you when the stalkers said happy birthday to her
Is that child abuse?

Have you ever heard his brother Russell routine and how his father scared the shit out of them? I laughed when Richard Pryor talked about how his father told him "be home by 'leven!"

From That N****r's Crazy:

"Say where you goin', Rich?
Huh? N***a you never ask if you can go some place!
Get a job, n***a, that's (?)
I don't care where you be at, be home by 'leven!
You understand 'leven, don't you, n***a?
You CAN tell time, can't you?!
Well what's that clock say in the kitchen, n***a?
THE CLOCK, MOTHAF***A, WHAT THE CLOCK SAY!?
'Leven o'clock, bring yo ass hurr!
I don't mean down the street singin' with them n****s either!
I'm not gettin' yo ass out of jail no more n***a.
That's right bring me back a paper!"

Later on after failing to get some nookie:

"N***a I thought I told you be home by 'leven
(Richard moans)
I'm not trying to hear that shit, I'm gonna kick yo ass!
Richard: Can I jack off first?"

Timmy84 said:

Man Richard was funny.

NastradumasKid said:

Yeah, another tormented genius at his own genre.

and Paris that's what you get for not being polite

It still seems surreal to me that Michael Jackson is dead.

I can't believe it.

Martin Lawrence stand up on Michael and Joe jackson

it's kinda funny

"I'm tired of this bullsh*t Halardo!"

midiscover said:

This video is very disturbing....he barely interacts with his daughter and when he went into the jewelry store he didn't even ask Paris if she wanted to get something for herself or anyone else in her family. I now he loved her but he could have been a little more affectionate with her in public.

Kim69 said:

He always protective of the kids whenever he went out with them in public- he tends to behave that way. Behind the gates, he was probably all affectionate and loving.

Now Paris and Prince are going to become teens pretty soon. Its crazy huh.

what does a little girl need from a jewelery store like that?

it's a short video it's hard to judge their whole trip from this but i don't see anything wrong, is he supposed to hug her and kiss her while they're walking?

this is my song

People often wonder why Michael was the most affected (that we know) by the childhood he had, with the threat of (and actual) beatings, ridicule, etc.

What a lot of people fail to comprehend that there was always extra pressure put on Michael. Since he was 5 he was the draw card in the Jackson 5, and since the age of 10 he was financially responsible for their well being. With Michael at the helm of the Jackson 5 he was the main breadwinner in the family. How messed up is that? Can you imagine being 10 years old and having the conscious pressure that your whole family's livelihood depends on you singing, dancing, working, rehearsing and doing as you are told.

As talented as the rest of the family was, and I have a lot of respect for the talents of all the brothers, it was Michael that the fans were coming to see. Little Michael with the cute smile and winning voice. I think Joe knew this and thus was overbearing and over controlling of Michael. He was also the youngest in the troop.

The siblings after him (Randy and Janet) benefited maybe from the brothers being away on tour so often and were left under the more loving guidance of Katherine.

Time and time again all family members told us that growing up Michael was the most sensitive of the family and really took things to heart.

And no I am not saying his childhood treatment was responsible for all his downfalls, as he brought on many himself, but the effects of growing up as lil Michael - family breadwinner surely had a profound impact on his life.
