he taught his children to hate themselves
Yeah they made millions, but at what cost?
The Patriarch of the Jackson family. If I ever start a family I would hope that with the empire I built and passed down to my offspring I was referred to as such in my legacy.
I didn't even think abut it like that.... but breh, you are right. 

So now we holding Joe Jackson responsible for teaching black ppl to hate themselves?
oh, guess those 400 years of being forced into the worst kind of slavery known to human beings, while being indoctrinated by a mass media that taught us that light skin was good and dark skin was bad, all while being pushed through an educational system that dedicated just 1 month to teaching us anything about our history had nothing to do with it right
I hate niccas like you






Michael!
Marlon!
Who left the towel in the swimming pool?!?!
R.I.P.

Always been my viewpoint on Joe Jackson. RIP.
If his kids had been allowed to run the streets(like many kids in that neighborhood did) people would have talked bad about him too.
Black fathers can't win in people's eyes.
