Michael Jackson's parents have stated that the allegations against their son are 'ridiculous' and his problems are a result of racism.

Jury selection for Michael Jackson's child molestation trial begins on Monday for a trial case that is expected to last up to six months. The star is accused of plying a teenage boy with alcohol and molesting him.

The star's parents have now made their opinions known about the situation. Joe Jackson told ITV: "This is just the United States. All the rest of the countries, all over the world, are proud of Michael.

"It's here we have the most trouble out of them. It is racism."

Michael's mother, dimissing the claims as "ridiculous", added: "I know my son. My son would never hurt a child. He loved children too much."

Does anyone have a photo of Michael's kids, veiled or otherwise? Can you please post it?

You heard it here first, folks. Racism causes Pedophelia.

[redgolum]

Ok I will be the first.

I am not sure what species M. Jackson is. Never mind what his ethnic background is.

[Izzy Dunne]

Gee. No one saw THAT coming.

< /sarcasm >

[TheBigB]

Isn't Michael white?

[Borges]

America is so racist that it allowed their kids to make millions upon millions of dollars by buying their records.

Micheal Jackson's parents' comments are what causes racism.

Racism? Micheal Jackson? He's white/Caucasian isn't he?

[rdb3]

Cry me a damned river! Racism? You can't make this stuff up.

[UpHereEh]

What I don't understand is how a man who is accused of molesting kids is allowed to throw a party behind locked gates for 200+ children. Ok, innocent until proven guilty, but shouldn't there be some limitations considering the nature of the charges?

[Truth666]

Same base techniques used to stage this as in the case of O.J.Simpson

[DesignerChick]

Apparently his mother doesn't make the connection .....he DOES love children too much.

This coming from the multiple award holders of "Parents of the Year".

My son would never hurt a child. He loved children too much."

EXACTLY, MA!

[Capagrl]

But... Michael's white now. I just don't get it!

I think it was said best by Buzz Lightyear in TS1 ~ "You are a sad, strange little man and you have my pity."

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? If his parents hated the US so much - why didn't they move to a friendlier country so Michael could be applauded for his molesting of children.

Good grief!!

Joe Jackson told ITV: "This is just the United States. All the rest of the countries, all over the world, are proud of Michael.

Joe is much smarter than I thought and a true American conservative.

"He loved children too much."

And that's exactly why he's on trial.
