The Jackson's are going to make this the biggest "Pro-Black" advertisement in decades! Along with the help of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the NAACP! It isn't what Michael Stood for at all, and they just don't GET HIS MESSAGE AT ALL!!! It makes me sick that this GREAT AMERICAN ENTERTAINER is going to be Celebrated and euligized as a "Great Afro-American Entertainer" when the fact was he did everything he could to be "NON" Race! His music, his charities, his message, even his look. HE WAS A GREAT AMERICAN ENTERTAINER, possibly the greatest ever in the history of music and the world, and watch what they try to reduce him too. I am so embarrassed for him. Michael, I got it, and I understood your message, It was never about RACE it was about being the best individual you could be, and embracing EVERYONE! May you rest in peace, and may I be privileged and honored to be able to call you "Friend".
