Why White Folks Should Bow Down to Michael Jackson

Go under the hood to find out why we think some folks should bow down to MJ

At the end of the day, MJ gave America culture and this expands beyond pop or R&B, this goes into issues of the arts, music, race, and the way we look at the world. From country to hip-hop, MJ was the pioneer that laid the bricks down in the culture. Now that he has passed, the world will likely realize the great man and genius that was really living among us.

Oh yeah, someone needs to smack that no-good Jeffrey Tobin on CNN with his nerdy and unjustified Jihad against MJ, this is not the right time “Jeffrey.” Fall back.

    I’m going to miss him… :-(

    DAMN DAMN DAMN!

  • Iyan

    That is why I hate the news.

  • Child Please

    RIP MJ.

  • LA

    RIP Michael… you crossed barriers no one else could and blessed us with the gift of your music. Thank You! May you finally find the peace and hapiness you deserve.

  • Miss Perfect

    The guy on CNN makes me sick. The media did enough of tearing Michael down during life, could he atleast get some peace during his death. He’s up there talking bout “I know ppl dont wanna hear this right now” Well if we dont wanna hear it then just shut up with it. This is a time to just remember him for the legend he is and pay homage and respect to a man who broke barriers and pioneered so much for the black community and American culture as a whole. RIP MJ (May they please let u)

    Its not just CNN though a lot of folks in the media are being a lil extra…
    The world just lost an amazing figure
    His court cases/lifestyle are gone with the wind
    Just let that shyt go

  • mostarstyle

    now everybody liked him..I hate this shit

  • paulwhiskey06

    I wont lie, I talked ish on Mike, but he was the man for 30 years. He changed music and dance. God bless him.

  • prettyfro

    Mike wouldn’t want it like that. His life and work was dedicated to the betterment of all people. This is NOT a racial issue. Let’s use this time to give the proper respect to a man who touched THE ENTIRE WORLD. Period.

  • OGANY

    STOP CRYING OVER CHILD MOLESTER MIKE. DO YOU CRY FOR EVERY PEDEPHILE WHO PASSED AWAY IN YOUR HOOD? Yeah its sad he died, but people need to stop calling him an angel cause He is not. He’s not in a better place cause HELL IS HOT!!!!

  • http://www.myspace.com/mzpayne_11 Smoovee Sayz

    OGANY…

    Did you ever witness Mike doing anything to children??? Nobody can say what really happened and since those families got paid off so well its been a done deal. Let that shyt go. His family just lost him and I doubt they would want to see the public dig this mess up again…its already a bytch having to mourn in the public.
    What mother you know would take a $$ settlement from her “alleged” child’s abuser if she really felt he was guilty???

  • sim1

    I agree. We need to recognize MJ’s achievements especially in the hard times black people face today. As a black woman still trying to get the same(not more)pay and rights as a white person, I can appreciate how difficult it must have been for a brother like MJ to achieve what he did especially from such a young age.

    Yes his music touched everybody but respect he was a BLACK MAN who made it through with all the burdens of a BLACK MAN. Even when he developed a skin disease, he still had to deal with the ignoramus bull, as a BLACK MAN, of everyone saying ‘he’s trying to be white’.

    HIS ACHIEVEMENTS IN MUSIC ARE RIVAL TO HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS A BLACK MAN SO PLEASE DO NOT DO A JESUS ON MICHAEL JACKSON BECAUSE LORD KNOWS WHERE WE WOULD BE AS A PEOPLE IF WE WERE TAUGHT JESUS/YESHUA AKA THE SAVIOUR WAS BLACK.

    RIP BRO AND THANK YOU FOR SACRIFICING YOUR CHILDHOOD AND THE WAY YOU CARRIED YOURSELF AS A BLACK MAN. IT MADE LIFE THAT LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR ALL OF US

  • EFF U BOSSIP

    funny… i’m just NOW reading the posts above.
    glad to see alot of folks feel the same way…

    good ppl. have a blessed day.

    ps: to those who are bashing MJ for his shortcomings, please give it a rest. No doubt he had mad issues… but can we respect the dead? it’s terribly sad

  • marina

    Im white and I have been bowing down to him for years. I love his music! And I will always do. He has always been the King of pop and will always be. There will be nobody who can take his place!

  • http://deleted John D. Hater

    SORRY MIKE.

    RIP!!

  • OGANY

    Smoovee Sayz,

    would you allow Michael Jackson to baby sit your 7 year son, nephew, or Monkey? I highly doubt you would put your trust in him with any little boy. I never said he wasn’t an ICON. Folks needs to stop calling him an ANGEL cause he wasn’t! He was a Weirdo. I do Sympathize with his family but the public needd to stop acting like the Messiah is gone.

  • http://www.twitter.com/IHearMusique Re—>I live in Bilbo Baggin’s shirt pocket.

    @Angelface

    He was suspect, but look. If you were a mother, and this happened to you…(possible molestation of your child)…

    How in the hell would money help bring you justice? Wouldn’t you want to see this man persecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

  • http://www.twitter.com/IHearMusique Re—>I live in Bilbo Baggin’s shirt pocket.

    My point is, we don’t know. All we know is that BOTH times, he was aquitted of the charges. The end.

  • http://deleted John D. Hater

    ANGELFACE…

    I AIN’T GOT TIME TO READ ALL THAT SHIT!!!!!

  • DDub (Right? Right.)

    CNN has, for some reason become the place to be to talk sideways, beside toobin, you had his publicist talk drug problem, kurt loder talk foul about his upcoming concert, anderson cooper, it’s like wtf. Can he get one day of respect.

  • http://heyshae.com/blog shaeshae

    Jeffrey’s rant was totally unjustified and he totally pissed me off.

  • http://bossip miss dior

    All these white witches esp. Nancy Grace should shut the hell up, CNN giving all these people platforms to spew rubbish, the man is gone let him rest in peace.

  • OGANY

    SOME WHERE IN MJ HEAVEN, LITTLE BOYS ARE FINDING REFUGE IN HELL!!!

  • ja nae nae (: RIP MJ

    YOU ONLY FUEL THE FIRE. FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE IGNENT. GOD I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ARE SO COLD HEARTED LIKE OGANY..

  • shut up black men! colored turds

    :( i love you m j i never forget your music rip!

  • OGANY

    Michael doesn’t have any kids. Those children needs to find their biological father.

  • PYT

    Angelface…Please let Micheal jackson rest in peace…I don’t think the people who loved and respected his talent wants to read all that bull shit!

  • sim1

    OGANY WHY ARE YOU SO CONCERNED ABOUT HIS KIDS, LITTLE BOYS ETC? Get your sick mind out of the gutter and at least TRY and act like you were raised by fools. Those are his children and regardless of what you think they called him DADDY from day 1. Now show some respect and stop hating on a DEAD MAN you piece of shit.

    @My2Cents

    Imitation is the nicest form of flattery

  • rach

    I SEE THEY CHANGED THE TITLE OF THE POST NOW!

  • http://Bossip ~Nicole~

    @ my2cents

    You can’t blame racism on all Vanilla people, just because their ancestor done a lot of dirt to Brown people. So what if they want to mimic, let them mimic. They are basically saying M.J is truth enough to want to dance like him! So why in the world do they need to bow down??????????????? SMH (scratching my head)

  • http://Bossip ~Nicole~

    I’m glad they changed the title, they must have some type of heart…………………….

  • http://www.delcoquito.com Delcoquito

    Another stupid post. Again, why do we not celebrate Hitler’s life??? He contributed to the world much more than MJ, under his programs vaccines and medical procedures that save TONS of lives to this day were discovered and refined. If you celebrate MJ and kiss his feet make sure to kiss Hitler’s feet too because if not your being a hypocritical moron and you should just shut up.

    @Smoovee Sayz

    Hey love! And yes, people forget about the logic sometimes when they’re caught up in the situation.

  • big homie

    mike jack was the best that did it for sure but he aint jesus,lol, i aint bowing down fo nothing, esp for nobody that cant determine if i’ll make it to heaven or hell.

  • http://Bossip ~Nicole~

    @ Big homie,

    You are right “At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tonge shall confess that HE is LORD”

    But that is not taking away that Michael Jackson was a great man and the King Of Pop!!!!!

  • EFF U BOSSIP

    that above was directed at My2Cents in case y’all didn’t know.

    peace.

  • http://Bossip ~Nicole~

    @ Ogany

    Why even blog about M.J at a time like this to call him a weirdo…… You might not of respected him but you should at least have enough respect for the people that did/do love him……. really though?

  • grant

    I ain’t bowin’ for nobody but Jehovah….

    @ someone’s comment: Unless you were molested by MJ you do not know if he was a child molester. Your justice system acquitted him. Give everyone a break with your negativity it’s yawnsome.

    The King is dead. Long live the King via his music.

    RIP Michael

    Michael died of drug overdose given by this doctor.

    What has michael done to deserve the respect of black people NOTHING, he didn’t want to be black and his whole entire life was WHITE down to his children, and here most of you are prasing this man as if he was god, it wasn’t he was just a disturbed boy who wished he was someone else.

    Not one word ever come out of his mouth saying that black children should be black and proud.

    Michael was all about himself.

    AND STOP BLAMING HIS FATHER FOR HIS STUPID LIFE, IF IT WASN’T FOR JOE PUSHING HIM AND HIS BROTHERS HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS FAMOUS AS HE WAS.

    MICHAEL BLAMED HIS FATHER BECAUSE HE IS THE TYPE TO BLAME OTHERS FOR HIS MISFORTUNES, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE PROBABLY BEEN INVOLVED WITH PEOPLE WHO NEVER TAKES THE BLAME FOR ANYTHING, WELL THAT WAS MICHAEL.

    RIP MICHAEL YOUR PAIN IS OVER

    You were a GREAT entertainer Michael Jackson, but you get NO RESPECT from me.

  • MindnSpirit

    As MUCH as I LOVE and going to MISS Michael (His TALENT)….. He WAS NOT GOD to “BOW DOWN” to HUMAN MAN is a disrespect and denouncing to GOD…We MUST be carful of what we speak, do and think for 9 times out of 10 it is our own ACTIONS that brings curses and block blessing on our lives…Please DON”T BOW DOWN to Michael…LOVE him, REMEMBER him and MISS him…He was/is NOT GOD…ENOUGH SAID!

  • Wow

    For one, even though I am a fan of his music, we shouldn’t have to bow down to him or anyone else for that matter. He is not at all GOD and bowing down to him would be considered idol worship a sin. Why we should worship him for talents that GOD gave him I have no clue, I worship no man.

  • Tee

    R.I.P. Mike

  • http://bossip.com Shawn Never Settles

    We as people never learn. Man please!,… let the race thing go it is destroying everything ANYONE that really cared about mankind has built really though, I mean people seem to be really consumed with hate completely, and it just comes out all the time, really though, I know we have freedom of speech but shouldn’t CLASS come first, RESPECT YOURSELF AND EVERTHING ELSE WILL FALL IN PLACE AND THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE, THIS WOULD MEAN YOU ARE MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND REALLY WOULdN’T THINK OF ANYONE ELSE’S.

  • ME

    i will miss him and his talent, but i wont be bowing….

  • Steven

    Screw Cracker News Network, they are nothing but a real world propaganda thugs. Ever since the icon bought Beatles catalog white folks were after him. Never forget that. Any time a minority got money white thugs find ways to take that out of them. That’s just the fact.

  • http://bossip MoniSings

    Michael will definitely be missed. I personally never believed any of the molestation accusations. I am with Re and Smoovee Sayz: There is NO amount of money that could ever repay the debt of someone who would take my son’s innocence in such a vile way. Anyone who puts a price tag on their child’s pain needs their morals and motives called into question.

    MJ has had a very polarized public view for the last several years, but I’ve always been with and supported him.

    R.I.P., Michael. You were the theme music to many of our lives.

  • Mina B

    Ummm…the title said Why “folks” not “White folks”….unless I was a little late. Could we start reading the complete titles before we just all jump in head first.

    He meant a lot to us all…He has touched so many lives he was loved all over the world… not just by one race. He did not visit only the sick white children he visited the african children, the russian children…But by no means should we bow down for man. He was an inspiration and will be missed.

  • ME

    @Mina B

    IT DID SAY WHITE FOLKS AT FIRST…I THINK PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING IN THE POSTS AND SO THEY CHANGE IT AND DROPPED THE ‘WHITE’

    AND NOW IT SAYS WHITE FOLKS AGAIN!!

  • wifey06

    make it a better place.. for you and for me and the entire human race

    we’re allhuman

    when the end comes we will all go down…..

  • Kym

    Why should only “white folk” bow down to MJ….after all, he was whiter than any “white folk” I know when he died…and I’m black dude!!!!

  • Witchie Poo – formerly “me (the original)®”

    The hypocrisy of people never ceases to amaze me.

    MJ was a very talented performer, the end. He is answering to our Creator, like we all will do when our time comes. I’m just going to leave it at that.

  • S-Jacksonville

    Michael Jackson will be missed. He music makes me remember my best times when I was a child in the 80′s.It’s funny how so many ppl have Flaw things to say about you when your here.But can only think about the best when you take your last breath.I never believed he touched them Damn kids anyway.So let “Remeber The Time” of good music and a legend lost. We all make mistakes in our lives,and many of us still walk around with a clear conscience,and a hailo. BYE HATERS…

  • MIABOO

    To MindnSpirit:

    WELL SAID!!!!!!!

  • Mark

    Ha! A NEW new low for this F-list site. What an embarrasment!

  • White Girl

    Lets just say everything shinny always fades as did MJ.

  • Louise Penn

    Yeah!…smack Jeffrey Toobin…and you might want to smack Allred and her clones and drones, too! How is it he never “molested” a child of color?

  • Missy

    @black gold

  • black gold

    Missy

    I’m pretty sure hating whites make you RACIST, you moron.

    ============================

    LOL!

  • http://bossip.com shelly

    WE ALL KNOW Y MR.CNN FELT LIKE HE HAD TO SAY SUMTHING ABOUT MJ. PEOPLE LIKE HIM HAVE BEEN THREATENED BY MICHAEL JACKSON’S ABILITY TO MAKE THIER “WHOLESOME” LITTLE GIRLS BOW DOWN TO HIS GENIUS. I MEAN CMON PEOPLE, THEY WEEP AT THE SITE OF HIM LIKE HE’S JESUS CHRIST. NO IGNORANT WHITE MAN WANTS ANY BLACK MAN TO HAVE THAT KIND OF HOLD OVER THIER DAUGHTERS.ON ANOTHER NOTE, MJ WILL BE MISSED NO MATTER WHAT. TO OUR RACE OF PEOPLE, HE WAS OUR ELVIS PRESLEY. HE WAS THE ULTIMATE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMER. HIS CAREER WAS & WILL ALWAYS BE THE CAREER EXAMPLE THAT THE PRESENT & FUTURE MUSIC PERFORMERS OF OUR WORLD STRIVE FOR. AS HIS SONG SAYS “GONE TOO SOON”!

  • http://bossip.com shelly

    TO OGANY & BLACK GOLD—- REALLY? IS ALL THAT NECESSARY? OGANY, HOW IS SPEAKING IN AN IGNORANT MANNER CLASSIFING YOU BEING BLACK. OTHER RACES OUT THERE ALREADY THINK WE’RE ALL IGNORANT,UNEDUCATED PEOPLE. PLEASE DONT GIVE THEM THE EVIDENCE THEY NEED TO PROVE THIER RIGHT. TO BLACK GOLD> YOU’RE NO BETTER THAN THOSE YOU’RE CLAIMING TO HATE. ALSO,A PERSON WHO HAS TO USE FOUL LANGUAGE TO GET THIER POINT ACROSS, REALLY NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL & EXPAND THIER VOCAB. U CAN SAY WHAT U NEED TO SAY WITHOUT BEING VULGAR. REMEMBER, YOU CATCH MORE FLIES WITH HONEY!

  • People

    I am officialy finished looking at this web-site. You people are just ignorant with all your racist comments and behavior. Blacks and Hispanics should be embarrased to associate themselves with this nonsense.

  • Darlene

    “We are the world…We are the children…” “Does matter if you’re Black or White…” Michael Jackson a head of his time with his charities and the songs he wrote of racial equality and living in harmony. We need to listen to these songs now and remember we share the planet together.

  • theGoodGood

    MJ is an icon and he changed ths shape of pop culture, black culture and race relations not just in america but in the world. we all love hip hop around the world because of MJ.. he WAS hip hop that turned to Pop.. all his moves are hood.. nobody white dances like that or sings like that..
