Was Michael Jackson pro black?

[TheBigBopper]

Let’s examine the facts.

Pro Black
- Had one of the largest private black book collections
- Mostly had black people in his bands and music videos
- Donated millions to black causes
- Called out racist ass cacs like Tommy Motola late in his career

Reasons why he was on that
- Had dozens of surgeries to get rid of his black facial features
- Had white children (I can understand if one of em looked white, but all three? That’d be incredibly rare and let’s not act like MJ was originally a light skinned black man)
- Had all those white kids over at his house
- Only married white women

Honestly, I respect his talent, but at best, he was a deeply conflicted man with insecurities about his race. At worst, he’s a c00n who only displayed an affinity for the black race and culture to deflect people from calling out his self hate.

What do y’all think?

They dont care about us was about 20 years ahead of its time for non-rappers

NO mainstream artist was making songs that socially conscious back then

He was definitely not "all lives matter"

Not too mention, Do You Remember The Time is still one of the few media productions to portray a predominantly black depiction of Ancient Egypt.


EDIT: plus, he was one of the first mainstream artists to bring attention to the crises in Africa. USA for Africa brought a lot of aid to the continent.

He featured black women in his videos just as much as white women (Thriller, In the Closet, etc)

His self hate was mostly due to his dad. His father literally called him "****** nose" as a nickname for crying out loud.

No wonder he got body dysmorphia.

His dad beat the shyt out of him and was terrible. Look at how his dad reacted when Mike died. You wouldn't even think they were family with the way he reacted.

Mike did not want to look like him as an adult. He recalled how he felt queesy whenever he saw his dad because he knew was gonna beat the shyt out of him.

What about the surgeries and white children?

What about the surgeries and white children?

As I said in the thread that caused you to make this one...

You’re surprised that a person who never had a childhood, was abused, was teased about his nose by his family one day got rich as hell and changed everything he felt insecure about? Michael Jackson did not have a normal childhood...he didn’t get a chance to learn to love himself. His first memories were practicing his act and gettung beat for mistakes, traveling on the road, hearing his brothers have sex, and more...MJ was traumatized. You can sit on your high horse and judge but that man had it rough...he didn’t have his first friend until 21 but at that time he had the highest selling record in the USA...there was no way for him to develop the same concept of reality as the average person. He had insecurities and a bunch of yes men around him globally...for him to develop the knowledge of self and pride that he did is ultra impressive. MJ was a very strong person and the media tried to destroy him every chance it got...

Here’s some additional videos from the other thread.

Mike’s Speech on Racism Against Black Musicians



8:08 I want Black people to be an institution, we don’t have the institutions that we should have.

Michael Jackson professing his pride in being an African American.

So he had to destroy his nose and Black features in the process? I can understand being insecure, but why wouldn’t you just try to look like a more attractive black man versus changing into a white woman?

It's 2018. He's been dead for almost ten years and his skin started getting lighter over 30 years ago. Why have a discussion with these new age nikkas who were not even old enough during the j5 era or MJ in his prime/ In real time?

Mike was VERY pro-black. You need to do more research
