1st

1st?

too slow dior

funny how he chosen to deny it now–knowing the dead cant defend themselves.

Look at that documentary called living with michael jackson. In the 1st 5 minutes he says his dad used to hit them if they got dance steps wrong. You can see it really affected him.

Joe Jackson makes me ill. That man is pure evil.

Honestly, I don’t know why Joe agreed to do this interview. The whole thing was a mess with him and that Rowe guy and they both looked pretty stupid to me. Joe didn’t really answer any questions and he didn’t look like a grieving father at all. I wonder about him for real…

JOE JACKSON IS SIPPIN’ ON SIZZURRP.

i don’t understand. is he saying because he didn’t hit his kids with a whip and make them say their name was toby, is wasn’t abuse? don’t get me wrong, i got whooped as a kid, but i got over it. for michael to still dwell on it and talk about it into adulthood, it had to be more than just whooping.

I think Joe is getting a bad wrap, I do believe he may have spanked or whipped his children but did he beat them down? I don’t believe so…just for the fact that the more normal Jackson children haven’t said that they were beaten.

I think MJ probably didn’t like the discipline and the way he was raised and chose to distance himself from his father. But at any rate no matter how much we speculate we don’t know what really went down. None of us were there.

But I do wish they would allow MJ to rest in peace.

Leave Joe alone. He didn’t beat MJ, he whoop him for being out of pocket. We need more Joe Jacksons in our communtiy that are raising their kids. Instead we have mofo that can’t read or do math and think that it is cool. Shyt MJ could read and do math– he became one heck of business man because his dad pushed him to acheive the unacheivable. Where are the daddys? Let’s look at ourselves versus trying to analyze a fallen icon who just want to be left alone. MJ RIP. Would we even know who MJ is without Joe Jackson? Yall fall back–

There is no right about this man!!! He looks of PURE EVIL!!!

Joe is avoiding the question… He does not care what MJ felt as long as he can be in the spot light.. As a parent how do U have no idea what your child feels about you are a person and parent… To me this is a parent that does not want to face reality, yeah you got MJ in the industry but it does not mean that you did not also cause him damage…

HELL NO PAPA JOE!!!!!!!

I’m sure he spanked them and slapped them upside the head too. Michael was a pretty sensitive guy so it affected him in the long run.
Joe doesn’t appear to have just lost a child. No grieve whatsoever. Guess he’s too excited about his label or maybe that’s just the way he is.

I’m trying to figure out why Larry King has done a MJ show for 2 weeks straight. Was that his hero or somethin? You’d have thought he’d say something about Walter Kronkite.

Joe Jackson saying # 34949943
“I’m o beat yo head”- revealed by Michael on Bashir’s interview

I can’t stand to listen or look at this OLD JOKE and LOSER!

Those poor kids!!! I would drug myself to death too, if I had good ol’ lying bastard Joe as father.

IMO, MJJ held something else against Joe.

Would Joe have allowed older men to touch MJJ to get them in the business? I heard that once before. Joe would leave MJJ in hotels with businessmen. What did they do to that young man? MJJ saw so much more than we will ever know while he was still a young child and then an impressionable young man and it wasn’t pretty evidently. And that is why he didn’t trust anyone – how could he? Look what people did to him when he was still a child. I see why he wanted to be around children at least children were easier to deal with and he could trust them unlike some of the shady, seedy people he had come to know in his early life.

As much as Joe freaks me out I have to agree with *ENKOGKNEEGRO on this one.. Well put sir.

Joe is old broken down pimp that used his kids to get what he was not capable of getting. Micheal would have shined without him, because the music was already in him. On the red carpet his talking about his record company not his son. I saw the interview and Joe is on a mission to find out about the people taking advantage of Micheal including AEG and Dr. Toheme R, Toheme, and NOI . Had he had a closer relationship maybe he could have cut some of those enablers off.

JOE OFF THE CHAIN LOL.

Why do my people insist on shaming me around “good white folk”!

WTH joe didn’t molest his daughters, that’s sick

alot of ppl got whoppings when they were growing up, i did. everyone is different and it affects them differently

I have mixed feelings regarding Joe Jackson, without him the world wouldn’t have had Michael Jackson and we would have missed out on someone so wonderful (but if Mike wasn’t famous he may have been better off or not according to Joe and the neighborhood they grew up in). On the other hand Joe seems so uncaring and money hungry which is probably what made him hit Michael exclusive (which is what it seems like). MJ was Joe’s ticket to fame and fortune so he worked him hard and got mad at him if he didn’t do things the way he wanted. I don’t think Joe is evil (though his eyebrows beg to differ) but he seems to love money more than his family which is never good. Also he grew up back in the day and then and now too make parents think it’s cool to hit their kids over minor things.

Joe feed and clothed his children before they made it to Motown. Michael stated that his whippings, didn’t come from practicing with the Jackson-5. But for things he done outside of the group. Raising 6 boys, Joe needed to be tough.

That interview was hilarious. I don’t think I have really heard him talk at length before and now I understand why he drove his kids so hard. He’s old school and no joke. MJ was smart to isolated himself from this old ass.

I agree 150% w/ DIVA and ENKOGKNEEGRO! Timeouts don’t work! Trust me…I see my friends w/their kids and trying the ‘time out’ thing and the have absolutely no control over their kids, none! There is FIVE generations of my family alive right now, from Great-Gran and EVERYBODY got a beatin’ at some point in their life and NOBODY has turned crazy or tried to be another race or overdosed on smuggled painkillers!! If anything, we’re more grounded and sensible because of it! Without some type of “effective” discipline kids will run amock and tear YOU apart!!!

@ The Twinz Mama ….
Exactly!
Like they teach kids @ school to call Child’s Services if their parents beat them!
But jokes on them b/c now Child’s Services don’t wanna deal with the same kids they were ‘trying to save’, anymore! They’re too damn bad!!

As much money MJ and his brothers made his dad and the fam there shouldn’t have been any reason for Joe to touch them – unless it was his way of controlling the kids. Duh!

@Jamaquina.Cubana

I have a friend who works for child services and it’s nothing but drama over there. They spend so much time investigating these bogus reports of child abuse from bad a$$ kids who NEED a whoopin that they their staff is stretched and can hardly help the kids who really need it. Very sad to see…

A lot of kids in Michael’s generation got beaten by their parents because that was the only way that they knew to discipline them. I’m sure that Joe got beaten by his parents and passed that on to raise his children. Joe isn’t the one to blame for Michael’s issue. Michael had other issues that we probably wouldn’t know about or even began to understand. What’s the point of having Joe Jackson on Larry King? Do they want a public apology? His actions are no different from other parents in that generation or even today. I’m not saying that it’s right, but there’s no need to go down the man’s throat for something that happened 40 years ago. What’s done is done. Just let Michael rest in peace.

If someone still wants to regurgitate on who “got beat” during the sixties; take a look at some footage from the Civil Rights Movement. Better still, ask Redmond (Farrah Fawcett’s son and only child) whether or not his mom or dad ever spanked him. Did he turn out better as a result?

I recommend you a nice milionaire dating site __Rich Flirts.c o m__. Whenever I chat with my friends on this site, I feel really relaxed and happy. They are easygoing and honest. I enjoy staying on the site. Hope you can find more nice rich friends there. Good luck to you.

good for him.

I believe him. He never beat Michael and the Jackson 5 special specifically shows that he didn’t. He didn’t physically abuse his children he disciplined them.

Mike was a decent guy and people still coming down hard on him even after the man is dead cause they wanted him to be their God but he isn’t. Mike was a man, and a very flawed man. He made many mistakes in his life but he was better than most people in my opinion at living life and being happy.

there are no black people raised in the ’50s’60s or ’70s that didn’t get beat. the old saying was if you don’t beat yo young ‘uns, the white folks will. Thats proved by every police brutality case today.

Joe put Larry King in his place several times during the interview. Joe has been maligned in the media for no reason. The only person who said Joe molested them was LaToya, in her autobiography. But she later reneged on those accusations and said her crazy old white husband at the time made up parts of the book to get better publicity, and therefore more book sales. If her father molested her, do you think she would have been going to MJ’s trial every day with Joe? Don’t let the white man/media brainwash you. Blood is almost always thicker than water. If MJ had not cut his father out of his life he probably would still be alive.

[...] People are saying Mike was overly sensitive. When children are not allowed their adolescence, the impact is immediate and carries a lasting effect, Joe! [...]

Who is ‘Michuh’? Was that crusty-eyed bastard tried to say ‘Michael’?

It kills me @ 0:43 when he says most people who was MJ’s age aren’t living anymore…. is it just me or did this old senile bastard forget his son is dead to?!?!?!?!
