MJ has done a lot to earn a giant fanbase that cares about him. and family has more meaning than blood. there are families out there that are closer who aren't related by blood than some of those who are. family has more than one meaning. many fans consider MJ to be family. apparently, this is not going to be the last thread that will be posted, that gives the appearance of divisiveness of the Jackson family. they are in a public profession, and will, therefore, be subject to some things that a non public profession is not. MJ fans are going to defend MJ. that's the way it is, and that's the way it should be.
a lot of people may say they love MJ, but it's becoming quite apparent, that MJ's extra galvanized fanbase that defends him, is needed, for more reasons than possibly imagined. for me, i speak as one who MJ has done a lot for, from a distance. therefore i will treat him like i think a brother should be treated. like a friend should be treated.
i often wondered what intangible reasons naysayers could come up with for finding it easy to think of MJ as a liar, and someone who can't make money, or be anything past a multimillionaire, or be wise and not naive, know physical abuse when he sees it, and a host of other things that naysayers couldn't come up with tangible reasons to justify. these are just some of the reasons why MJ needs an extra set of defenders. and he has them among the fanbase. it's only reasonable that it should be that way. if it's so intangible, why the extra defense is needed...well...it makes up for the vagueness behind what i accuse the naysers of, above. that's tangible enough, for me.
i have yet to find anyone with a tangible reason why it's easier to believe Jermaine Jackson, than it is to believe Michael Jackson. or believe Janet Jackson, over Michael Jackson. or, for that matter, why it's easier for some to believe a lot of people in business, who are not of blood, over believing Michael Jackson. or, for that matter, why it's easier for some to believe AEG over Michael Jackson.
i have yet to see any tangible reason why it's easier for some people to believe a lot of these people, i mentioned, above, over Michael Jackson. so, i guess i don't need a tangible reason to believe Michael Jackson, over those i mentioned.
but, sometimes, it takes just one act to make for tangible reasoning. apart from all the children he has helped, over the years, helping one, who later stabbed him in the back, and MJ not returning the stab in the back favor, sealed it for me. you know the character of a person, in their lowest point, in life. so, i regard MJ as a person of truth, and goodwill, who has helped me personally, in life. and, for me, that's worth defending him in all situations, controversial and non controversial. and i know i am not the only one who feels that way.
