'Those Racist [edited] Killed Him': Michael Jackson's Death Considered in Harlem (Whitey's Fault)

Gawker ^

[buccaneer81]

Harlem, especially the Apollo, is the media's unofficial spot to get Black America's reaction to Michael Jackson's death. Matt Harvey dropped by last Friday and listened in on a conversation that was full of adoration and, yes, angry conjecture.

black doctors are is sellouts

corrected for you.

So, it didn’t matter that MJ slept with little boys; that he was addicted to drugs; and that he did not enjoy paying bills?

This article is a perfect example of people who expect something to be given to them...for nothing.

This is disgraceful rhetoric, and anti-American blubbering.

These jokers ought to try and utter this kind of nonsense in Africa and see what happens.

[Cheetahcat]

One Question who was surrounding him in his last days the Nation of Islam or the Nation of White Christianity?

Michael Jackson killed himself. A person can’t undergo a complete transformation via surgery, drugs and heaven knows what else without some repercussion to the body.

[popdonnelly]

Some African Americans are becoming progressively more irrational. Michael Jackson didn’t take care of himself. If he had, he’d still be alive, and white people would be paying to see him.

Please don’t blame white people for something that isn’t their fault. It’s irrational collective guilt.

[paulycy]

Whitey is clever that way.

Nation of Islam. Do I need to say anything more?

[freekitty]

Exactly. Whitey had no part in this.

> black doctors are is sellouts

No, no, no! You don't know your jive talk.

It's, "black doctors are be sellouts."

America is the most free country on earth and truly the land of unlimited opportunity. To wit, Michael Jackson: where else in the world, or at what other time, could a young black child grow up to fulfill his ambition of becoming a 50 year-old anorexic white woman.

[Vaduz]

True we know black people don’t do drugs.

[SpinnerWebb]

Be is usually only used when the plural pronoun “Dey” proceeds it. Using the noun results in “is”.

And I don’t know my jive.... HA!

[Dallas59]

Lol....

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

His own stupidity and the product of a dysfunctional family killed him.

His children are now old enough to have been through enough and are also probably dysfunctional.

Diana Ross (sp?) would be wise to sidestep this issue and not take on these children. She has reached an age where she does not need this nightmare.

[ecomcon]

Choking up he adds, "America broke his heart."

Blame America? Who will they blame when America is gone?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

The wisdom on the 125th street goes like this: Jackson, hounded from dizzying heights into exile, was finally killed when, with his mountains of debt, he was worth more dead to the media-entertainment complex than alive.

Wisdom?....L.O.L.!!...Complete stupidity?...for sure!

[Lazamataz]

Why would they be angry that a white woman named Michael Jackson was killed?

[The Sons of Liberty]

There is a segment of the Black Community that want to blame every misfortune or problem on “Whitey”. Apparently, they’ve never had to shoulder any self-responsibility, preferring instead to use whites as a scapegoat. Certain elements, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Ferrakhan, feed off this and cultivate it. 0bama and his racist wife have exacerbated the situation. If it continues, there will be a race war in this Country and it won’t be pretty.

the media-entertainment complex

Didn't Eisenhower warn us about that bunch? ;-)

“Ebony & Ivory” was McCartney & Stevie Wonder.
Jacko’s collaborations with McCartney were “Say say say” and “The Girl is Mine.”
