THAT IS A HUMAN and a FATHER. all the nonsense about mj didnt impact anything is fine but dont say he didnt want to be human..so if someones wife gets a boobjob that means they dont want to be human either....tell that to the 2 billion people worldwide that watched the memorial today. the man influenced many to strive for perfection.

Ok, first of all, if you look at my post, I said he didn't SEEM to want to be black. And I wasn't talking solely about skin color. You just ASSUMED I was. I've said the same thing about Prince. Nice.
And MTV wouldn't play black artists? MTV wasn't even AROUND when MJ started. And that's
. I was part of the original MTV generation. They played ALL of the popular black artists. Lionel, Prince, Whitney, Stevie, Tina, Lisa Lisa and a bunch more. If it was popular, it was on MTV. MJ had nothing to do with it. Don't believe all that crap you hear because you obviously weren't there or don't remember. Dude had a lot of fans. And btw, with the media shoving it down the worlds throats, of course a lot of people were watching. I wonder how many people watched OJs trial? Does that mean that he influenced and moved them as well? As far as his daughter crying, ya, that usually happens when a childs parent dies.
