Default Michael Jackson's parents blame racism
http://www.ntlworld.com/partners/itn...ent/895542.php



Michael Jackson's parents have blamed racism for Americans turning against him.
The Thriller star is preparing to face charges in California of child molestation in what is being called the trial of the decade. Jury selection starts on Monday.

Jackson's father Joe said: "This is just the United States. All the rest of the countries, all over the world, are proud of Michael.

"It's here we have the most trouble out of them. It is racism."

Mrs Jackson described the charges as "ridiculous". She said: "I know my son. My son would never hurt a child. He loved children too much."

If convicted, Jackson could face a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. He denies the charges.

All I know is that Michael Jackson definitely wouldn't find either many Italians proud of him right now.

Seeing as how he's more of a whitey than I am, I find this implausible.

Yes, we all hate Michael Jackson because of racism...

NOT THE FACT THAT HE MOLESTS KIDS!

His parents need a clue and Michael needs to be hanged.

Just my honest opinion

It pisses me off when people play the racism card this way.....it has nothing to with race (does anyone even consider Michael Jackson black anymore!?!) - and everything to do with his weird ass behavior and the possibility that he is sexually abusing children!!!

Thumbs down Let's be honest for a sec...
His family is OF COURSE going to say ANYTHING to make Micheal look like a victim of racism instead of being a pedophile, Because they know he is the ONLY CASHCOW in that family, And if he is found guilty that money ($$$!) that supports their lavish lifestyles will be forever cut...

Personally, I am absolutely complucking sick of hearing people play the race card...

Instead of b!tching all these years, the Jackson family should have gotten Michael help years ago.

Exclamation Here's something to think about...
his family may be yelling racism because they know he is guilty as sin, But with yelling racism will get him sympathy from those minorities who are currently incarcerated who may protect him IF he is found guilty and sentenced to prison.

Thumbs down Boooooooo
Racism is always gonna be an excuse for when people are being treated, in THEIR eyes, unfairly. Ridiculous.

I love Michael's music, but dude needs MAJOR help.
