RIP Michale Jackson

Ya, he gave the sperm at least

True, those kids are his spawn.

No.  They're not his.  The older two are clearly not biracial and insiders say they are not his biologically.  The Jackson "look" is very distinctive and the children don't look like him at all.   Even Quincy Jones talked about Michael not wanting to be white and his children being white.

Really sad. :(  He was such a cutie before all the weird plastic surgery.  It would have been nice to see a son taking after him.  I had hoped Blanket was his biological son, but it looks like he's not either. :( 

They look like really sweet kids. 

And Michael was so cute as a kid!  Why, oh why, Michael did you have to go batshit crazy? :(

Those kids aren't his. Katt Williams put it in much cruder terms but look at Jackson when he was the same age as his children and you will see some remarkable differences.

But even if they weren't the "fruit of his loins" they were still his children and those children have lost the only father they have ever known. No matter how much of a "freak" he appeared to be.

It is all too easy to dismiss him as a freak without understanding the psychology of the man. And dismissing him as a freak dismisses the significant and profound contributions he made, not just musically, but societally. There is a strong case to be made that without Michael Jackson, Barack Obama would not be President.

Q: But it must've been so disturbing to see Michael's face turn into what it turned into.
A: It's ridiculous, man! Chemical peels and all of it. And I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black.

Q: Is that what it was?
A: Well, what do you think? You see his kids?

This is the saddest part of the story to me.  I think he was amazing in the beginning of his career and so BEAUTIFUL.  And he hated himself to the point of not passing on his legacy.  UGH!

Ever go to the zoo and notice how the animals are a bit "off"?  Captivity more or less drives them insane.  This is a large part of what happened to Michael Jackson.  For all of his riches and fame, the man could never experienced freedom as we know it.

It was not himself that he hated, per se.  He would look in to the mirror and see his father.  It is not that he did not want to be Black or that he did not want Black children.  He did not want to be his father or pass on his father's genes. 

I think it is obvious he didn't want to be black. Quincy Jones calls him out on it hardcore.  Maybe that was a kneejerk reaction to looking like Joe Jackson, but he made all his features white along with his skin.

But it is not that he did not want to be black.  You touched on it that he did not want to be Joe Jackson, but it was not a knee jerk reaction.  It was something deep engrained.  He wanted to erase everything about himself that would remind him of his father.  It is hard to understand a hatred like that.

Then again...maybe those are his kids.  My ex-wife his hispanic but you would not know it from looking at our son. 

So, they could be his kids.  But I doubt it.

I could have sworn I was respond to the Doc just now.  I think this cold has gotten to me...

It's saying over here that they aren't his biological children.

It's also a good case for nature vs nurture. Even though they don't have the Jackson (Billy) Genes (lol just thought of the profundity of the song...)....er where was I?

Oh yes...
Even though they don't have the Jackson Genes they still "sing like angels". So is it just coincidence that they can (allegedly) sing or was it being brought up in a (presumably) musical household...Hmmmmm....

I heard they were melting him down for lego's. Now children can play with him.

I just hope the kids are okay. 

The lights in the Staples Centre dimmed
....the crowd hushed
..... a door creaking
........footsteps falling
......... lights flashed
...........thunder crashed
.............Vincent Price sepulchre tones
...............the crowd screamed.

Golden lid opened....
........sequined glove grasped a coffin's side....

The crowd screamed....

IT"S ALIVE!!!!!!!!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

It's a trap.  Kill it, kill it now.
