Jackson

Yes, so you imagine that your son is just as wildly popular and talented as the deeply weird and sadly late Michael Jackson and so you imagine that the talent and money excuses the vulgar antics. Perhaps Cheryl would remember who that black girl was. In the newspaper room during my journalism program I recall that the subject of Michael Jackson came up for some mysterious reason and how weird he is or rather was. The black girl who was there acted strangely at hearing the white girl's impression. Basically, it does not matter how famous and wealthy you are, we poor white girls do not really care about you and we are not impressed. Are you surprised? You should not be. We are also equally not impressed with the vulgar antics of many white performers who have impressive talents but no taste. We are no respecter of talent when it is abused and misused, no color insult intended.
