I am one of those fans who grew up listening to Michael Jackson and his brothers, loving every minute of it. Though I did not idolize the man, I to this day listen to both the new and the old music of him.
Now I must admit that there has been an awful lot of Michael's death coverage on the media, but I have learned to watch/read what I want, and just skim over the rest. I also never believed for one minute that he was a child molester, that there was an underlining financial motive for those accusations, and when the not guilty verdict came back, I was all right with it.
Then today, I read this;

And to be honest with you, the first word that popped into my head was racist. Whoever this Peter King fellow is, I have not any idea. I have never heard of him, don't know his views or voting record; just never heard of him. But now, he pops up on the radar and all but wears his hood, calling Michael every word of hate he can. What's more, I was under the impression that Michael had his day in court, and that he was found not guilty. Not to mention, it was "their" court that adjudicated him.
Does this surprise me...........not really I guess. I have said before, I expect all the roaches to come out now as they usually do after someones dies (like the woman from London who filed papers claiming not only to be his wife and mother of his children, but also having 30 other children by the devil.....you'll have to Google that one to believe it), just that this wasn't some wacko from jersey, this is a government official.
Frankly, what I am sick of is the media portraying up this "drug" thing. I guess a black man in this country cannot die of a heart attack; he had to be overly medicating himself, just like a black man can't just get shot. It has to be drug or gang related.
Anyway family, just putting in my rant for today. Would love to hear your response to this.
As for King............stand right here :flamet:
