Their playlists were overwhelmingly white. They initially didn’t want to play MJ either. CBS threatened to pull the rights to all their artists unless they played him.

But white suburbanites loved...Stevie Wonder, Rick James, Prince....countless black artists. I fear this is becoming a racial issue in that African Americans weren’t “allowed” to be featured on MTV, implying that the music industry was racist at the time and barriers needed to be broken. In fact, we’re talking about the 1980s, not the stone age.

????? What possible reason would MTV have for this? MJ was already a well known singer. MTV enhanced his career but it didn’t initiate it.

I would counter that MJ's videos enhanced MTV viewer numbers. A beneficial relationship for both parties.

Urgent update! Michael Jackson is still dead.
They vote on Cap and Trade today. They are slaughtering people in Iran.
I repeat. Michael Jackson is still dead and will likely be so for a long time to come.
They vote on Cap and Trade today.

With baseball players — having read about their dalliances with the whores who follow them about -— I suspect the ball scratchers are actually attempting to deal with the crabs and various other “critters” picked up from their filthy whores.

Since Jackson apparently preferred little boys, I doubt his problem was crabs — I suspect he was simply trying to “thrill” the little 14 year old girls who were his greatest fans...

Yes, trolling onto the thread to flame other posters. Take your fawning groupie attacks elsewhere. Perhaps your family hasn’t heard enough of your rants yet.

not trolling...

seeing a disgusting human being put on a pedestal and calling a spade a spading is not trolling or flaming.

Jackson, the pedophile, is the antithesis of what a conservative blog is all about and whitewashing him here(more than he did to himself) needs to be exposed....

It’s not clear whether a crime actually occured. Do you hope it didn’t?

Seems to me Jackson was found innocent.

When OJ Simpson dies are people not supposed to talk about the murders and just talk about what a great football player he was and his movie career?

OJ was also found not-guilty..

Yuh ain't tryin' to inject reason into this thread, are yuh?
