It’s not April Fools, but what kind of a joke is this. A pre Halloween spook?

Praised for what? Neither he nor Kate deserves any kind of child-rearing award. When you abuse and neglect your children’s basic needs, how is that rewarded? this is one twisted *****-kissing world we live in. This m.f. allowed wealthy business men to molest his children, esp michael. Michael has multiple personality disorder because of him failing to PROTECT him from the demons of fame and fortune. ***** joe’s old sadistic, greddy for money ***** and kate for truning a blind eye to the b.s. and for playing good cop!

Joe allowed his kids to me mind controlled, not only by himself(initially), but by anyone who had a checkbook. He’s no different than the crackhead or pedophile who’ll sell their children into modern-day slavery for a few bones. This is ridiculous. Beyond it…

shawn jones

10/26/09, 09:16:am

Al has a point, considering the state of black families and the Jackson kids being raised in hollyweird,. They sure in the hell would not have been better off if they were raised by a single mother. 7 or 8 kids and a single mother can you imagine how that would have turned out?

Joe was a good “business” father, he never took money from his kids like a lot of showbiz parents do, he made sure that the knew the business. Being a good parent on the personal and nurturing level is something I don’t think he was capable of.

When u think about it, I think fathers like him are what we need in the black community. Fathers who can whoop, squeez, choke, kick, flog and punch out all those bad seeds on today’s stubborn, gun-totting, no school-going, thug-wannabe kids…



Fat Lever

10/26/09, 09:44:am

Its time for black folks to finally stop allowing Sharpton to speak for us.



Whatever

10/26/09, 09:49:am

I agree w/Shawn Jones. Who knows where those 9 Jackson kids wouldve been had Joe not been so hard on them. I could imagine u would have to be hard on 6 boys. He may not have made the best decisions but no parent is perfect and we can say wht we want abt Joe Jackson but his drive helped them get to where they did. Btw wht does Al Sharpton having a perm have to do with anything bossip????



Mrs. Rance

10/26/09, 09:51:am

My mother routinely beat me and my siblings too when we were cutting up. It ain’t Joe’s fault that Mike doesn’t believe in corporal punishment.

And hell yeah we need more father’s like him. Crazy though he may be he raised his 9 children. He didn’t turn tail and run like MOST black men do. Yall need to recognize real when you see it.



resurrected

10/26/09, 10:05:am

Well if none of his children attended this award ceremony then to me it is not considered to be true… It’s not the people on the outside that can decribe your parenting but for the people who live in the house with you who can really confirm this to be true…



dayg715

10/26/09, 10:08:am

@mrs. rance

EXACTLY. if more parents would put their foot in their kids’ *****es instead of trying to be their “friend”, and if more black fathers didn’t abandon their families, the world wouldn’t be as *****ed up as it is now.

10/26/09, 10:10:am

Joe Jackson turned his family into American Icons. that sounds like good parenting to me.

10/26/09, 10:12:am

“The arrogance of [people] attacking a man for being a stern father,” Sharpton said. “I wish we had more stern fathers – then we wouldn’t be shooting each other up.”

that sums up this whole conversation in a nutshell. of course you can’t take it seriously, bossip. you need intelligence to do that.

don’t you African peoples realize that putting you foot up a child’s ***** in NOT right? I had thr ***** beat out me as a kid and it only made me angry. As a teen, I carried so much anger around and deep inside I was hurting. No one ever touched me sexually, I just had a mother, who like Joe, tore my ***** up. Did it make me better? hell yes. I know what it feels like to be abused, therefore, my children will NEVER know. beating your kids is a myth. It is called child abuse and it make kids angry. Many times, children want someone to talk to them, not lose their temper and harm their own kids. Very sad, so many black folks condone this. So, when m*****a was beating our *****es in slavery, that was okay too? The reasoning is off, people.

I don’t agree with this award. There are a lot more unknown deserving fathers in this country that should have an award & I am quite sure MJ is spinning in his grave at the idea of Joe Jackson of all people would be getting an award for something he was NOT good at, being a father. Look how he screwed MJ up mentally. Sadly he died hating Joe Jackson & did you realize how most if not all Joe Jackson’s kids called him Joseph, how impersonal. Wow. That speaks for itself.

I agree, beating children wont do nothing but make them rebel against their parents. Black people have gotten accustom to m*****a beating their *****es, that they too started to beat their kids as well.

There is a difference between beatings and spankings. Who really knows which they received? I don’t see all of those kids (now adults) coming out with the allegation that they were beat. Now, that being said, I believe that 9 kids are better off with a man in the home than without.

10/26/09, 11:04:am

child abuse and rearing your children sternly is NOT synonymous. Yes, Joe is an ambitious business man. But warping a child’s mind to be nothing more than a shell that can sing and dance is not good parenting. How many people locked up has been beaten senselessly as children?

***** you Al Sharpton. You are NOT a representative of me nor the black community. You’re a w***** since Joe put a little money in your pocket to perform.

His kids may have not grown up to be violent thugs, but they d@mn sure grew up to have all kinds of emotional and mental issues that have tortured them for most of their lives. I’m all for disciplining a child, but I don’t believe in beating children, there is a difference. I don’t agree with this award and if his kids aren’t co-signing then it’s nullified IMHO…

I find it “normal” that evil is being praised across America.

Although the jacksons kids are legally okay financially and mentally they are not in good standings…then again I don’t take Rev. Al Sharpton any serious than I take Bishop Magic Don Juan.

10/26/09, 11:56:am

this kids aint there cuz they know this ***** is preposterous! I know joe feels, privately, ridiculous for even showing up to accept such an “accolade”, but that check is enough to make Joe do some strange things- like ritualistically abuse his offspring(the better him).



BettyBoop

10/26/09, 12:28:pm

Spare the rod and spoil the child but that doesn’t mean that you need to be beating them like slaves. It’s a balance and not some parents take it waaaay to far. But I no that if you let a child do whatever the heck they want you are setting them up for failure.

10/26/09, 12:46:pm

i don’t agree with joe’s parenting style but he’s not the worst parent EVER. he raised his kids how he thought was best. he kept them off the streets and groomed them to become superstars. his kids grew up to be respectful caring people. everyone has their problems but it’s magnified when you grow up in the spotlight and everyone handles situations differently.

Joe was a good “business” father, he never took money from his kids like a lot of showbiz parents do, he made sure that the knew the business. Being a good parent on the personal and nurturing level is something I don’t think he was capable of.
__________________________________________________

Good business father? THEY FIRED HIS *****! That’s how much of a good business father he was. The Boys fired him first then he tried to ruin Janet and she dumped him too. None of his kids let him handle their money.

10/26/09, 16:37:pm

I agee with Rhinna with sharp nails I had heard to stories that Joe let wealthy people abuse Micheal and leave him in hotels alone with them. Personally we had 9 children and my father worked two jobs with stay at home mom and will still lived in the projects. Instead of m*****a beating the ***** out of us my father made us use logic, why the hell we did things. He talked us through the process which was so long that many times I wished he us beat my ***** and get it over with. Nothing makes your self esteem feel better to know that as a child your parent encourage you, got your back and not have to hid under the bed for when daddy comes home because his phyically bigger and going to beat you til you bleed. Mama’s old school too she wasn’t letting my father do it either. My family has enough strong males that if they found out anyone else was beating the hell out of their kids or the women of the family the fathers, uncles, cousins, would put a stop to it just like the boyfriends of some cousins found out and stand up for the children.

HOW MANY OF YOU WERE ACTUALLY RAISED WITH YOUR FATHERS?!

ENOUGH SAID.

ALL BLACKS NEED A PAPA JOE IN THEIR LIFE.

9 KIDS, NO VIOLENCE OR DRUGS UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP, NOT THAT’S A SUCCESSFUL BLACK FAMILY.



Ms. Hershey

10/26/09, 16:52:pm

Yeah, right, that’s all we need – more dads like Joe, who has raised one of the most popularly know dysfunctional family’s in America, barring a few of the kids, with a real iron fist. So much so, that the star professed to have been struck so hard, he was knocked unconscious, being awakened by paramedics on the emergency squad. Yeah, that’s the kind of father’s we need raising our kids…NOT!!



MRtibbs

10/26/09, 16:58:pm

@SPARX ALOT

Papa Joe was a GREAT father and businessman, the best he knew how, no one was there for him but HE WAS DEFINATELY there for his kids!

And how STUPID of Michael, got rid of his dad and fell into the HANDS OF WOLVES with AIG and Randy Phillips, who also made Toni Braxton file bankruptcy a few years back.

And WORST OF ALL, lawyers are saying if Michael’s mom Katherine dies, then her share of Michael’s fortune goes to those 3 WHITE toddlers that CLEARLY ARE NOT EVEN HIS.

So in the end, Michael Jackson took food from a BLACK family (Papa Joe and Katherine’s dues that they paid for their kids) and handed over his fortune to GREEDY, SELF SERVING WHITE LAWYERS, CHARITIES AND RANDOM KIDS (ALL WHITE).

Wow! Some of these Black celebs get stupitier by the minute!



80s baby

10/26/09, 17:30:pm

@MrTibbs

I hear your defense for Joe…however, father and businessman is something Joe Jackson doesn’t represent and I won’t condone that you remain in denial.

Joe Jackson is a man who have had many stories surrounding not only the boys but the girls as well…

While some know and many speculate on the boys it was also reported earlier in the years that Rebbie was sexually abused by her father.

As far as Micahel turning over his fortune…you’re wrong there too…Katherine gets 85K a month to take care of her grand-kids and Michael was supporting her and a few others until his death.

My question to you is that if he’s a great father he would produce great kids…if these kids don’t think anything remotely close to him being even called “father” (they call him joe) then you can’t go against the source…they was the ones in that house…and none of them find it necessary to even tweet about their dad’s award!!!

Is Joseph Jackson a Good Parent? «

11/4/09, 12:00:pm

[...] Joseph Jackson, the father of the famous musical Jackson family children including Michael was recently given an award for good parenting from Rev. Al Sharpton. Read more here. [...]

11/4/09, 23:46:pm

The problem is not the fact that Joe Jackson was stern with his children especially Michael. I’m a big fan of discipline, and not allowing your children to do whatever, just because you are their best friend or buddy.

The problem is the fact that he was almost like a dictator to his own children, the children calling him Joe, that says a lot. Joe Jackson looks like someone who doesn’t play, his face is so hard, scary, he’s like a hustler. Imagine, he was way harder on Micheal than any of them, because of M.J talent. Michael starting at an early age, it can be very terrifying, and horrifying, been that young, and having to go through that. Making fun of him, teasing him about his nose, these things affect people, and M.J happen to be one of those people.

It can affect a child pschologically, and the fact that it looks like, Joe never even empathize with what his son was going through. All M.J wanted from Joe is his approval, even throughout his adulthood, that’s what M.J said himself. if you never felt that approval, it can be very devastating.

Honestly, Joe jackson’s actions after M.J death, said it all, you can see the detachment, you almost forget, that’s his son.
