 Michael Jackson 1959-2009 The passing of Michael Jackson is TRULY an end of an era. Just lets me know how old I'm getting. You think that certain folk will be around much longer than when they depart from this world. We love you MJ!! And even though the American Media Machine(including major television news outlets) dogged, hounded, twisted you at every turn, waged one of the biggest negative PR campaigns in history against you, despite it all you still kept it together and held down your position in not only American music history but in WORLD HISTORY!!! Let's see Timberlake, Madonna, Cyrus, Spears or any of those top that. You've always maintained your innocence in the face of massive jail time and no amount of money could have kept you out of jail with the severe charges you faced not once but twice. Like all of us, you were not perfect. You made your share of mistakes and bad judgment calls but by far you have did more in your lifetime with just your name and celebrity than any of today's so-called animal rights groups, charity organizations and the lot. A once in a lifetime spirit that will take much, much more than any music, tv or movie studio to manufacture and contrive. Make no mistake... If you were in fact BORN WHITE you wouldn't have received all the hell and turmoil you withstood. That's not to say that you wouldn't have received any, just not as much and not to the degree we have witnessed. We all in some way, shape, form or fashion should take some of the blame for it was us who idolized and worshiped you and your AMAZING ability to entertain at such a high level while making it look effortless. It was us who bought into the scandal stories. It was us who drove you to a lot of what you lived through and even though you are not blameless, we all should take a look at ourselves and try to do more to better the world and ourselves and to get close with GOD!! Not only is it disrespect to have your vast empire be snatched from your BLOOD and controlled by the very same people who in all likelihood brought about your downhill spirial, it's a sad and telling commentary about what happens when you lose who and what you are. Once again Michael... I love you, WE LOVE YOU. May GOD keep you and embrace you and use you as an example of what's good in this insignificant world. I type this with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart not only because you're gone but because sadly, we have not learned. We are still petty and small.
