When Jews accused Michael Jackson of being antisemitic

[Bonk]

I didn’t know about this.

 

[jerzboy]

Yup… it’s one of his best songs, but that’s the reason the song never got promoted

 

[breakfuss]

Yea I think he used that ‘k’ pejorative, I remember that.

 

[Still Benefited]

Damn Michael


And he stayed with some kids by him
I could only imagine him living through this era.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Kick me, Kike me
Don't you black or white me
- they don't care about us

It's censored in every version today, but "n*gga" is in every other rap tune.

Yea I think he used that ‘k’ pejorative, I remember that.

 

[UpAndComing]

"There's Michael Jackson in Brazil with an umbrella in his hand to protect him from the sun, and walking with 2 kids"

 

[UncleTomFord15]

The fact he used a slur I can see why they were upset tbh

Oh I peep the inconsistencies breh . Was just saying.

I remember this. Was back in '94-95. Dude apologized, album was released with an apology insert, iirc. Spike Lee 'blacked the fukk out' about it.

Think you can still find unedited versions if you get the early releases of the album, but I'm not sure.​

[Dad]

If I’m not mistaken those were Lisa Marie Kids. Or that family who always traveled with him.

He was kinda bold for that. Has MJ ever used the n word in a song

Spike Lee was mad about the apology or the lyrics?

Michael Jackson was the first visitor to the Museum of Tolerance. He requested to come on the Friday before the Museum would open to the public. The workmen were still finalizing the last minute touches when Michael came by. While I’m sure Michael knew about the Holocaust, it was obvious that there was much he didn’t know.

After spending almost 2½ hours at the Museum, he left, clearly deeply moved and brought to tears, by the overwhelming experience.
