People love to forget Michael Jackson’s blackness
people love to think that Michael Jackson forgot his blackness
People love to pretend to forget that Michael Jackson’s autopsy results showed that he DID have a skin disease and never “dyed” his skin.
People also love to revel in rumours and concentrate on the private life of celebrities instead of their actual message. Michael Jackson was a proud black man who spoke against racism, poverty, homelessness, the lack of education, hurting nature, war, and tabloid culture which distracts people from bigger issues. (Look up especially the second verse of Tabloid Junkie, it’s as relevant as the above gifs of They Don’t Care About Us.)
He not only spoke against these things but he did his everything to spread the message and constantly practiced what he preached and used his money to make a difference in people’s lives. Yet people choose to ignore that and use him as the butt of a joke.
