Response to an once MJ fan, now hater
This video is a young black man who was once totally into everything Michael, but turned his back on him, to hate and disgust because of the implications of what the media showed about MJ.

Now I give him credit for so elequently explaining why the majority in the world still call him a pedophile and make fun of him. He said no one else could go around saying they sleep with other people's sons, and get away with it, and say it's just love, that if Michael did that in this speaker's community, he would get slapped hard. He couldn't understand all the secrecy that MJ kept around his life, with locked rooms and security and him wearing masks all the time, which speaks to the world of hiding something illegal. I understand his fear that the world is making hurting children and hating your own black race skin color, as an acceptable thing to do. He kept saying, he was keeping it real, just saying what he really felt. I would venture to say, this man's views truly represent the majority of once MJ fans but now haters. Now, I would say this video moved me and was compelling, and I feel his agony. I sense deep pain in him. Maybe the hopes and trust the black culture had in MJ were dashed, and now they feel betrayed. He dared the MJ fans who he said would say to him, "Don't you diss Michael, he's the king of Pop" to message him back. I feel moved in my heart to respond to him.
I have to think long and hard about this one. Knowing what I know now about Michael Jackson, I would say in all honesty that I would have allowed my two sons to stay with him. But that's only because I've spent a year closely annalyzing the man's true nature. My daughter was molested by my aunt's boyfriend and it very negatively affected her life, so I'm aware of the consequences. There's something about the man that exudes mystery and controversy. There are millions of kids who have been forever scarred by sexual abuse, but I don't believe there has been one child hurt by MJ, only thousands of kids blessed and truly loved in a profound way. Kids like Dave who had been set on fire by his own father, kids who hardly knew their fathers, kids who had cancer and were dying, but recover after their stay at Neverland.
I know this might offend some people, but I can't help but think that if Jesus were living in the US today, we would find many of his ways of doing things and aspects of his life also unusual. He was single (had many women friends), didn't have a job just went from town to town socializing with groups of men, children apparantly followed him and mothers wanted him to touch and hold their children. We don't know anything about his sleeping arrangement although I think he just slept wherever. We all know there has been controversy over him being gay or having a woman lover with whom he had a child, both of which I reject. I do feel he may have had a close love bond with one woman possibly Mary Magdalene, but that's purely speculation. But after all he was completely human and would have had desires for marital love with a woman.
So in this same sense I feel Michael was very unique and it takes an open mindset to comprehend the actual real contribution of Michael to the world. His Oxford speech makes it clear his struggle and active fight for the suffering children around the world, the millions of dollars in aid for them, as well as countless hours of exhausting touring of remote hospitals with pathetic suffering children are all things few real pedophiles would take the time to do. Jesus also was convicted in a mock trial with false testimony and sentenced to die, and the accusations were that He claimed to be God and stirred up the people against the law of Moses, the latter which wasn't true. The things Michael was accused of also APPEAR to be true, but that's where you have to dig deeper. The worthwhile things in life are always things you have expend energy on digging for, like diamonds and gold.
If anyone has more to add to this thread I would appreciate it. Take the time to listen to this man speak out of his real concerns and bitterness, the whole video. Speak from your heart, what would you say to this man? I think he wants facts not just emotions.

Thank you for responding. This following the crowd business is totally what's wrong with people. They pride themselves for being individual thinkers but it doesn't show. Like TS asked, do you think for yourself. Something has to change in this man's heart I think, his arrogance and insecurity and neglect of checking out facts, like you say, are obvious.
If he's too lazy to do research, so be it. He's entitled to his opinion.
And, as I am an African American who speaks to or has read information/comments from countless other Black people in the U.S. and all over the world who have loved and still love Michael Jackson, this youtuber doesn't represent anyone's majority. Sure, there are Black people and all kinds of people who think like this youtuber does but all you have to do is look at the footage on June 25, 2009 or June 25, 2010 to see the hords of black people who are fans and still fans. Please show me where most diehard fans are now haters. I can't seem to find evidence of this.
It's happened to me a few times this last year, that the topic of MJ would come up. Recently one of my managers overheard myself and customer talking about the hoax, and she said, "It's a good thing he's dead, creepy pedo." So I had a chance to tell her it was all a set up and Michael was framed. She didn't say anything, and I'm sure she'll maybe do some rethinking.
I hope and pray your uncle recovers and is totally healed. I will uplift him in prayer! Keep the Faith!
