Michael Jackson’s death – why has it turned into silly politics?


* It shouldn’t be about a black or White issue *

I had to write about it, because it has gone too crazy the whole politics that people are rising towards Michael Jackson’s figure.

I have to say that I quite don’t agree with the two sides on this ridiculous media and politics fight – Michael Jackson wasn’t a figure that represented one particular race, he made himself set apart from a man of only “one” race. His music titled “black or white” could speak by itself far better about his person towards interracial issues.

The fact that now some black people try to really make it a racial issue, is really ridiculous, since MJ himself was an international soul – one of the positive elements of his personality was his ability to connect with people of all races and nationalities. He wasn’t limited by any element of race at all, but rather represented a universal soul.

It’s weird to see all these pandemonium from all sides, especially after one’s death; after a person is gone, there should be some respect and consideration.

People have the right to like or dislike whomever they want to; and have whatever opinion they have upon any public personality. But, I’ve never seen anything like it before that after one’s death; people should be fighting over their own preferences and personal reactions and besides making it a political and racial issue.

The congressman Pete king is on one hand entitled to think whatever he thinks about MJ and it doesn’t mean a racial issue whatsoever, nevertheless on the other hand, I think he shouldn’t be babbling his position out loud at the moment that Michael Jackson’s family is grieving, thus making it a political issue. Anyway, Why so many name callings?

Because the truth is that all the “molestation allegations” were never proved whatsoever; and actually at the trial it was visible that there was financial interest involved there. Anybody is entitled to think whatever they want about such allegations….But, honestly MJ really seemed to be more of a naïve person, than an evil molester. Which child has not desired in an innocent way to sleep with relative adults and even adult friends and vise versa? I wonder how much more would children want to spend time with a charismatic music entertainer? I find this whole thing so funny(Honestly, president “O” is the one that seems to have some character’s problems).

Can’t a person point out the positive message that a famous personality like Michael Jackson posed at least at his death?

Michael Jackson was a musical entertainer that represented lots of controversies for sure, mostly due to the change of the color of his skin – maybe due to his disease vitiligo or an eventual lighting of skin. It’s visible that he had something, but what “if “he had lighted his skin? If so, why did it bother people around? If that made him feel better about himself.

I’m sorry, but to attack someone’s character, supposedly to “over “ reports about his death, in my opinion don’t have any fundamentals – sure the media reports all kinds of stuff to sell, but it’s understood to be normal to report over a famous figure that happened to be one of its unique kind in the music industry. And whether we like it or not, he had positive attributes which was able to break racial boundaries and that is the great element about his person and made him a popular figure all over the world.

The fact of the matter is that he was an artist who wasn’t part of this “racial “mind set – on the opposite, he is one the rarest “black” artists who didn’t make it an issue. For the USA history that’s a very positive message.

The media is really making this a whole issue – this should stop it already. The two sides are too over the edge, it shouldn’t be politics and it's not a racial issue.Period. It’s about the death of an American singer who broke all awards records in the music industry.

The politics in all sides should let the musician and entertainer rest in peace for once.
