“The guy is acquitted on ten counts of child molestation. No one said, ‘Sorry Michael.’ No one said, ‘Michael, we knew you were innocent.’ No one did a BET tribute to him then. Nobody played his music & did a marathon then. Nobody rallied up & did a concert. Why should Michael have to go on tour to raise money? How come all of the artists didn’t band together and say, ‘Hey! You know what? Let’s do a tour like Michael did the We Are The World Tour & let’s raise some money. Let’s get this thing going.’ No one did that. Tookie Williams is the founder of the crips gang. They were trying to get him pardoned from the death penalty & half of Hollywood showed up for this man. What I can’t understand is like, people didn’t want to go near Michael Jackson when he was in trouble. But they show up for a guy who executed families. A little girl begged for her life & he executed her. They said because he wrote in his time in prison he wrote children’s books that he tried to turn his life around. He was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Well, how about the millions of children Michael Jackson has helped over the span of his career? Yet, two children come with some false allegations & those two children become the two children that destroy him. It’s crazy. No one talks about when he did the Victory tour. I remember as a kid: Michael being on tour with the Victory tour, right? And every night on the news, they would announce that Michael Jackson donated his money from every city that he did, he donated it to a new charity. He donated his money from the Victory tour to charities. I thought that was amazing. I’m like, ‘Wow! This guys donating millions of dollars every night to a new charity.’ Then he would stop in every city & every city he would stop at a hospital & visit kids that were burned, ill or whatever. He took the time to do all that.”Cory Rooney”

So yesterday...
My 5 yr old son says “Mom, you like Michael Jackson huh?” I said that I did and then he was like. “Why is he black sometimes and white other times?”
I was hoping that he would be older when I had to explain this because I think it was hard for him to understand. When I finished trying to explain to him why he looked the way he did…my son looked at me very innocently and said. “Mom, I like MJ no matter what color he is.”
> Children see with their heart, that’s why Michael loved them so much <3
