BurakuDes - thanks for your witty posts on things. The following is a quotation from and editorial in…

Can I say the unsayable? I did not care for MJ's music and cannot name anyone from my contempories who ever was a fan. He did not invent pop music, but he did produce the most popular music of the 1980s. However, how often do you actually hear Jackson songs…

He was biggest icon of american (european) racism fight and full cultural acceptance of black performers. His own skin torture taught hard lesson for racist america.

Poor children. And their poor idiotic parents. No doubt they had a discussion prior to leaving them in the car in the relative cool of the morning. Shall we wake them of leave them to sleep? Let's leave them and get them up in a few hours.
