Re: Oprah Show on Michael jackson's new album 'Michael' *Update Post 700*
Oh, I know you did not say that, and I did not say that either. However, I have been following your way of thinking for some time because you interest me. You think in a broader way and analyze things more calmly. 144,000 is another person who thinks differently and I admire that. I am not against the Jacksons, and I know your idea is NOT about that.
that's sweet of you, Petrarose.
there is something i would like to say about the Jacksons. and this is not aimed at you Petrarose...this is in general,
i have certainly had my disagreements with them. certainly. i think Michael is a special individual that nobody understands. and for anybody to claim to know exactly what he was ever thinking, is stepping way over the line. and that happens a lot, here. not with everybody. but still, too much...whether it be with family, or us, on this board.
none of us knows Michael. none of us knows what he REALLY went through. NONE of us knows who truly..at the very end, was truly there for him, in every bad spot. NONE of us knows that...although there are a lot of claims saying people know what went on in MJ's walls, 24/7. i'm sure i made that mistake, too.
but in the end...Michael did have blood relatives. they will always be his blood relatives. and, it's my hope..that nobody here, is out to break up that family, or destroy them. because..everybody here, has a family. and i would like to know, which one of us, would like a stranger to come in, and destroy your family. no matter how bad things get, with you and your family, i am sure each and every one of you would have a REAL problem, if somebody else on this board, tried to butt in and destroy YOUR family. you would rather handle your own business with your family, no matter how bad it gets. you don't want somebody else doing it for you. i don't care if they are in the public eye.
yeah...disagreeing vehemently with Jackson family members is one thing. but, if ever, another member of this Jackson family dies, as a result of the wishful thinking of somebody on this board. they'll have to live with the guilt of all of that, by themselves, forever..if they have a heart.
i don't care what the relationship was between Joe Jackson and his son. i wouldn't wish the worst upon Joe Jackson. simply because he is Michael's father. and, i had a father. and i wouldn't want that done to me.
there were many mistakes. but in the end. this was father and son. and Michael graced our hearts. and the family once did begin, as the Jackson family. and, then, there was Michael. i have real problems with members of that family. but i would never want to see them broken up. they are a royal family. they are Michael's family. they are a national and international treasure, like Princess Diana's family..who probably has their own ups and downs. while America didn't really appreciate the jackson family like they should. they are an american royal family, that hopefully, America will appreciate, while they're still here, at the end of the day. and the rest of the world, as well.
Michael has nephews that he adored and trusted, too. so, if this was a matter of trust, then that was family he trusted...for those who say he trusted the Casicos. you remember, he traveled with his nephews to the far east. and they were there for him.
whatever is going on now...just remember. MJ has family, just like YOU have family.
and i have my own family. and i just want to make sure i can look in the mirror, and remember that.
it's my hope that other people feel that way.
