White Washing Wacko

Jamie Foxx, the host of the Black Entertainment Television music awards, was unequivocal on Sunday night. “We want to celebrate this black man,” Mr. Foxx said of Michael Jackson. “He belongs to us and we shared him with everybody else.”

For decades the black community rejected Michael Jackson for what they perceived to be his disdain for his African American heritage. His controversial plastic surgeries and skin bleaching, as well as his fondness for white women, all contributed to what a large majority of blacks consider to be Jackson 'turning his back on his race by turning himself white'.

When child molestation allegations came out against Michael Jackson, and he was showing up to court in his pajamas, I don't remember many black celebrities running to his defense, or rallying behind him in support.

If anything, he became the butt of their jokes, especially in the comedy arena.

Seriously though, where was Jamie Foxx, when he was dangling his baby off a Paris balcony, or being shot up with copious amounts of narcotics?

Where was Smokey Robinson and P- Diddy then?

Where were Michael Jackson's friends and family, and where in the hell was the "Black Community"?

The only one was Reverend Al Sharpton, and we all know Reverend Al will get behind any person of color. The only requirement for that ass hat to drag out his podium, and start beating his gavel, is a dark skin tone.

Don't get me started on Reverend Al- he continuously makes me want to punch myself in the face.

And now here comes P-Diddy, asking us to "stop focusing on the negative aspects of Michael Jackson's life".

I wonder how much Sean Puffy-Combs stands to make off the tribute song mix, "The Game- Better On The Other Side", that he, Polow, Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher and Boyz ll Men- just made.

I also wonder if they will 'do the right thing' and donate ALL the proceeds to a charity in Michael's honor?

Or will they just take the blood money and 'party in the club with a bottle of bub'?

Then again, what do I expect? Jackson's own father stepped right over Michael's body and announced his new record label today. Can you imagine?

They haven't even determined cause of death yet, it's just unconscionable.

Attention Black Community:

Michael Jackson did not see himself as a Black Man, he saw himself as the white boy.

Peter Pan, to be exact.

Michael was very open about his obsession with J.M. Barre and Peter Pan & The Lost Boys.

(P- Diddy, I don't think you are listening to Michael's words)

Michael Jackson didn't care about being the greatest black entertainer of his time, he was an artist and just wanted to entertain us.

All of us.

Those, in the Black Community, that turned their backs on their boy when he needed them the most, need to put the race card back in the deck on this one.

They scored their win with Jordan, Tiger and Obama.

For what it's worth- I hope his soul has some peace at this point.
