208555, Michael Jackson got treated like a nigga.
Posted by Mike Jackson, Sat Jun-20-15 11:24 PM
MTV initially refused to play Billie Jean because he was a nigga.

The Tom Sneddon got the law changed and scoured the earth for 10 years looking for evidence to put Michael Jackson in jail because he was a nigga.

Sony attempted to screw Michael Jackson out of his back catalogue because he was a nigga .

Bill O'Riley was talking about child molestation accusations on the day of MJ's funeral because he was a nigga.

We know MJ was a nigga because he was treated like one. His plastic surgery and his skin disease did not stop the industry and the media and the police from treating him like a nigga.

So it is pretty racist to assume that MJ could stop being a nigga just by saying he wasn't one anymore.

And BTW, he never claimed to not be a nigga, but in fact, maintained to his dying day that he got a raw deal because no matter what he accomplished, it didn't stop him from being treated like a nigga.



Had MJ claimed that he was no longer a nigga, he would have gotten the side eye and still would have gotten the same nigga treatment that he got when he was alive.



I am not having this conversation with you unless you
can articulate, in your own words, what the difference is between race an ethnicity.



Because if you think you can change youe race by claiming to not be Black, you are saying that Black people can become immune from racism if they decide to be white.


Distinguish race from ethnicity and maybe we can talk.

if you can't draw that distinction, there is no need to
have this conversation.
