"Wasn't nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with." Amen, and amen! What better statement to describe, even today, the injustices that Michael had to endure-that, and Marlon's "Being judged...ridiculed...how much pain can one take? Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone."

I love what Sharpton said to MJ's kids, "There was nothing strange about your daddy, it was strange what he had to deal with!" I totally agree. The media drew and quartered him because he was the first massively successful black entertainer. RIP Michael. Love you forever.

To me, Michael had such a prophetic message. He came to us as a child with a gift and blessed the world with his talent. From the beginning people hated him, accused him of disgusting things, but he took it on the chin and continued with his message. Even when it seemed like everyone in the world had turned on him, he thanked god for every moment of his life. Look back on Michael Jackson's life and try to tell me he wasn't the closest thing to a messiah we've had in a long time.

I agree with how you relate the scars comment with Al Sharpton himself. That's exactly how I feel, and I scoff those who say "he finally said something intelligent" like he hasn't ALWAYS been doing that. We have just been conditioned to think otherwise because when I get on youtube and look up what he's actually said, I'm not surprised at his brilliance on tuesday.
