Michael Jackson: The star, the lies and the legend


I was a year when I first had my earliest experience with Micheal Jackson's songs. My mom actually said that on my first birthday, I tried to do a happy jump when songs like Beat it, Thriller, Bad, Smooth Criminal and the rest played. I was so inspired by Michael Jackson that when I was 3, I would wear my white socks on my right hand. He was the most popular singer songwriter and performer at that time and continues to inspire different artists, songs, genres and dance moves. He has influenced different generations and continues to do so to generations of new. This leads to the intent of this blog.
Recently, Michael Jackson or as I call him, the real MJ was portrayed in a documentary, Leaving Neverland, as a pedophile who molested young children. In the documentary (that I refuse to waste my time on), 2 white males were interviewed and gave their statements on how MJ masturbated in front of them and touched them inappropriately. Apparently, there are more people who are also coming out to say that they were molested as well which may lead to his remains be exhumed for DNA testing. Now that we got all the lies out, it's time we get to the facts about MJ, his life and how that relates to the accusations.
Here are the facts. It is important to note that the two white men who have come out to state that MJ molested them were witnesses in his 2005 and gave sworn testimonies where they stated that he did not molest them. MJ was chemically castrated as a child by his late father, Joe Jackson and had zero testosterone. This means MJ could not produce sperm cells or father a child.This means his two children are not biologically his. We cannot state this as a fact but any one can see that those children have no atom of MJ in them. They lack the MJ effect or bear any resemblance to MJ.  It cannot be denied that MJ loved children because he saw himself as one. The fame and his late father cost him his childhood and in many ways, he somehow craved that stage in his life. This made him make friends with children who he found to be innocent, pure and needed to be protected. Similarly, MJ was eccentric, shy and exhibited child like characteristics on many occasions but he made it his job to protect children and not molest them. Another reason MJ loved spending time with children is that they did not judge him but loved him for who really was as he had very few people that he trusted. MJ gave over 350 million dollars to charity, sought all over the world for a liver to save a dying little child, gave all the earnings from man in the mirror to charity and once risked his life to save a child who was a potential victim of a car accident. MJ's love for children was also seen when he visited hospitals to spend time with children and when he flew Mickey and Minnie mouse to surprise and life the spirits of sick children.
These allegations and documentary fail to highlight the fact that MJ was under FBI surveillance for over a decade with nothing to substantiate claims of child abuse. Although, these allegations attempt to tarnish the image of the legend, Michael Jackson, the facts cannot be blotted out from the record books. MJ was exonerated from his 2005 case due to no evidence of child abuse. He broke the Guinness book of Records in album sales surpassing Elvis Prestley and the Beatles. He loved, cared for and sought to protect the children. He was an advocate for black people, using his voice and platform to stand against injustice towards blacks. And though he is no longer with us and his music stripped from the radio, his soul and his voice echoes in every rhythm and every song we listen and dance to.
Nota Bene: It is highly pertinent and human to show love to people around us even though the same act of love may be utilised as tools to harm us. We exist not to just love ourselves but others so they can also reciprocate in a hope to make the world a better place. It starts with the man in the mirror.

  1. Jackson had purchased the ATV catalog in 1985 (which owns the rights to most of the Beatles' songs) for $41.5 million, and it with Sony Music Publishing as a joint venture in 1995.

    The white man wants to ruin MJ LEGACY. The same as they want to ruin Bill Cosby, now if Bill Cosby was raping women at the rate they claim at that "in your face" racist time in America. Bill Cosby would surely be arrested, especially if he was raping white women, America has killed black people for reasons much minimal with zero evidence. So I do not believe MJ was a child molester. He was a talented black man that had a family that was addicted to fame and money - because blacks living in poverty was a devestating reality so with talent they made millions. There was self hate in the mix that is why MJ and his family severed off their noses, bleached their skin and perm fried their hair. MJ could have adopted 3 beautiful black children but he chose to find 3 white kids. Anyways this is all just to tarnish his legacy because he is a wealthy black man with power beyond the grave. It makes white racists sick to their stomach that this black man has and will forever incluence music for generations to come. Elvis Prestely was a pedophile with a 14yr old girlfriend but we don't hear anything about that. Where is the global outrage. Great blog, thanks for sharing.

  2. The year was 1983 the show was Motown 25th Anniversary, the preformer was Michael Jackson , the moment etched in time was the unveiling of his now signature move the Moonwalk. I sat absolutely awe struck. It was that precise moment I knew this man was a living legend. The very next myself as well as damn near all the neighbourhood kids were trying to imitate what was possibly the most amazing dance move we’ve witnessed. I can’t recall a time when Michael Jackson’s music was no being played in the car or the house,it was to the point my friends dubbed my house the “Michael Jackson house”.
    This documentary (which I absolutely refuse to watch) is trying to tarnish the legacy of a legend. It’s onky purpose is the tear down this man’s character.
    It’s rather unfortunate that this man is not able to Rest In Peace.
    All his life all he’s ever done was put the world first and in return the world persecuted him.
    His child like persona and innocence was what made him big hearted man he was.
    Despite what has been said and continues to be said about him, he will forever remain the GOAT!

If you have read any of my blogs, you would know how I always emphasize the importance of relationships in our existence. Relationships not only gives meaning to our existence, but it also drives our daily routine and life. Our survival, adaptation and ability to exercise our emotions all stem from our engagements in different relationships. Therefore, it is safe to say that relationships play a key role in our lives. Every relationship we form with people is imperative to our growth as an individual, because those relationships in my many ways depicts who we are as a person. Our relationships with others may be important but the most important relationship we could ever form is the one we have with ourselves. Although, this is the most important relationship and the one that requires most of our energy and intentions towards building, it is the one we shy away from the most. We go into relationships with many people without actually having a proper understanding of who we are as a p

Donald Trump is just what America needs

Donald Trump, a known business man and TV personality is the 45th president of the United States of America. I remember being in a state of shock when he won the election last year and was inaugurated into office earlier this year.  Since the inception of his government, he has been controversial in his comments, actions and leadership style. This has caused a lot of hateful comments and criticism from celebrities.  Recent controversial comments from Trump include the racist comments regarding NFL players, belittling and preachy comments on Puerto Rico, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Corker. Trump's administration has brought about feelings of hate and disgust in people to the point that people have marched out in streets in protests as a means to voice their feelings. Although Donald Trump is a little child in an adult body because of his leadership judgment, mannerisms, choice of words and actions, he is just what America needs. This is because he is the most successful American presid

Date night fantasies POV

I know I have not been blogging for a bit. I did this for many reasons as I try to reinvent myself in writing. I just came up with this poem/erotica, well at least that's what I will call it for now and I figured I share and take your mind off the terrible situation the world is in with COVID-19. Enjoy the read. Stay SAFE! Date night fantasies POV I  think about picking u up and you're dressed in a silky dress that hugs to your body like cotton to hair strands. We go out and grab a bite. I bite and lick my lips as I stare across the table and behold your beauty. I picture my tongue all over your body but I hold back as my being becomes erect and my pants feel tight. The waiter approaches our table after our meal and asks, " do you guys want to look at the dessert menu?" I make a wish that you say no because I hope we can be each other's dessert tonight. You say no. We head to the car and just as I open the door for u, u turn around and I kiss u. We kiss for mi
