NP Rank:
Michael Jackson, Anti-Semite
While much of the world mourns the untimely death of the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson, it is worth recalling one of Mr. Jackson’s more unfortunate qualities: he was an anti-Semite.
In case you think I am making this up, allow me to refresh your memory.
Back in November 2005, Jackson was caught on tape in a voicemail to one of his former business managers calling Jews “leeches”. The tapes were played on ABC’s Good Morning America program, and Jackson was heard saying, “They suck…they’re like leeches. It’s a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose.”
And in 1995, Jackson provoked a firestorm of protest when he released an album called HIStory containing a song entitled “They don’t care about us” which had the following lyrics: “Jew me, sue me” and “Kick me, kike me”. He subsequently promised to re-record the song and delete the offending lyrics.
But then, in February 1996, Jackson nonetheless released a video of the song in which he had re-instated the brazenly anti-Semitic remarks.
So before you go shedding a tear in Michael Jackson’s memory, take a moment and consider the hate that he spewed against Jews, both in private and in public.
And then maybe you’ll consider saving those tears for someone far more deserving.

Sincerely? Do you really think that stating ones views, on the on the way Jews seek monetary gain is Anti -Semitic? That, actually is known as opinion. In America we express that freely. Both in public and in private. How ever in the big "scheme" of things. Michael Jackson and his legacy will provide vast quantities of fortune for Jews of all walks of life. Michael Jackson was not an Anti-Semite. Michael Jackson may well be the most influential person ever. You will never stop that. And your ploy to try and convince his fans and admirers is rhetoric. The reason Jackson even would comment on something so obvious in the first place is because he gave so much. When you give like that you are over whelmed with wonderment on how people bring themselves to take more than their share or hoard their wealth for just themselves. It was one comment about money. He has many other comments regarding how great Jewish people really are. Whats funny, is Michael Jackson made many comments about his own race for not being as philanthropic as they could have been, and at the fact that in hardship they also find ways to "leech". How ever, he is not Anti- African American. I challenge you to look the comedy of Seinfeld in which he makes many cracks about the frugal and "money hungry" character traits of Jewish people. He is Jewish. I agree that there are better things to say then to accuse or "be-little" someone. That is where I feel you should spend your time.
Sincerely,
Atus

So when you make other people rich through your efforts you are entitled to use disparaging descriptors of other ethnic or religious groups? His defense is that he was overwhelmed by his fame?
"He has many other comments regarding how great Jewish people really are."
I didn't see you quote any here.

Can you please provide any verifiable quotes from Jackson that were complimentary to Jews?
at 07:50 on July 7th, 2009
Michael Jackson calls Jews "kikes," and this isn't considered hate speech? How is this any different than calling Blacks "niggers"? Look at the rehearsal tape they released for They Don't Care About Us. The dancers repeatedly outstretch their arms in the Heil Hitler gesture.
Michael Jackson filled with love? Maybe for the little boys he plied with booze. And how was this bigot responsible for breaking racial boundaries? Just because he broke through to the idiots at MTV? Long before MTV, White America fell in love with Jimi Hendrex, the Supremes, all the Motown artists, and Louis Armstrong and a long list of other Black artists before him. It's pathetic that we're memorializing a racist pedophile as he arrives in Hell.

Michael Richards destroyed his career by using the word "nigger." Michael Jackson gets a free pass when he uses the word "kike." Richards apologized. Jackson apologized, said he would change the lyric and never did. That makes him a racist and a hypocrite. And let's throw in drug addict who, in the end, didn't give a crap about his kids. Who weren't even his kids, didn't even bother to adopt them.
It was more important for him to take drugs and risk his life, and we're supposed to think he cared about kids? Puh-leeze! Like Kurt Cobain, he was a chickshit coward. Yet, we call him a great man. No wonder this country is in trouble. Where are our values, America?

Demidee--your assuming all negative comments here against Michael Jackson is by Jews! That's bigoted and antisemitic in itself, so you just violated the same principal you are trying to lecture people on here for. People in glass houses .... remember that expression.! One commenter even say's he/she isn't Jewish but has those views of Michael Jackson, and so do many non Jews, so don't jump to conclusions so fast. That say's something about you, which would explain why you don't seem bothered at any of the degrading things MJ said and did in regards to Jews. Your being an apologist for his worst actions, and at same time convicting everyone else of equal misdeeds. That's pretty outrageous and presumptious. Also celebrities while in life or afterlife are discussed and debated, that comes with the territory, especially when one is so controversial. And in what way do you suggest to re-read the lyrics saying kike, and Jew me, that would make those remarks seem pristine???

You have got to be kidding me!? The man is dead and you still think he is a molester? He is the best performer ever and you know it. DUMBASS!
at 11:29 on July 30th, 2009
You are indeed wrong my confused friend. Michael loved his people and deep down you know your wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself for leaving such a comment.

Atus: "Sincerely? Do you really think that stating ones views, on the on the way Jews seek monetary gain is Anti -Semitic?"
Unbelievable. Lol. Yes - let's paint Jews as money-hungry leeches who suck the wealth away from the world.
Altus. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious. There is nothing wrong with striving. Sriving is good. Stealing is bad. If all Jews as a rule stole, then I could understand Gentile loathing of us. But we don't. Sure. We are ambitious. But that is not a reason to loathe us the way the late Michael Jackson the Muslim did. The problem is one of jealousy and always has been. The Gentile has always been jealous of my people - first, because G-d gave US the Torah. Now, because we are not confined to ghettos, with all our rights withheld, so that we are able to work hard and achieve. That's right. Work hard. It doesn't simply fall into our laps and it isn't gained through syphoning it out of Gentile coffers.
Sickening. Nothing ever changes.
B the way, I hope the guy rots in for the way he trashed my people.
at 15:38 on July 7th, 2009
I'm not jealous of Jews, Michi. God may have given Jews the Torah, but he gave the rest of the world, including Jews, Jesus. What do you expect Christians to do? Reject the gift of Jesus Christ to prove we aren't "jealous" of Jews? Get real. You keep ALL the commands of the Torah while I accept the love and comfort of Jesus.

Michael jackson - "The idea that these lyrics could be deemed objectionable is extremely hurtful to me, and misleading. The song in fact is about the pain of prejudice and hate and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I am the voice of the accused and the attacked. I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the black man, I am the white man. I am not the one who was attacking. It is about the injustices to young people and how the system can wrongfully accuse them. I am angry and outraged that I could be so misinterpreted."

As a musician i respect MJ's talent. That's whats being celebrated. As a person MJ was strange in ways but so are many artists. Now whether he was a pedophile, well that's debateable so I wouldn't brand him that. His lyrics in the song "they don't care about us" should of been changed especially once he was confronted how offensive they were. He should of been talented enough to find something else to rhythm with sue me, and white. If he wanted to demonstrate how offensive bigoted people are, then why throughout the whole song did he choose to say "black" not nigger, or coon. Why didn't he say something offensive about any other color, religion or creed throughout the whole lyrics??? One has to wonder and it was only one verse so those choice of words were not significant to the song! Then few years ago he leaves clear anti-Semitic remarks on answering machine of person he had dealings with and happened to be Jewish. Did he even apologies for that??? I don't want to believe he was anti-Semite, but no question he had biased towards Jew's.

I would like to thank all of who posted positive things on Michael Jackson but to the rest of you, it doesn't matter what you think or say because mj had a good, loving, and kind sprit and a love for children and you twisted people have made all that sound like mj was a pedophile and just so all you haters know he would never do that and the fact that some of you would say that makes me sick! So you haters should just Beat It!!!
at 04:26 on August 15th, 2009
I want to apologize to everyone for my tasteless and classless postings. I was just displaying my ignorance by my poor grammar, poor spelling and inexcusable defense of mj. The fact is, I always dreamed of mj molesting me. God, if I were 20 years younger, I think he would have really dug my sweet little boy rectum and stupidity.
at 15:24 on July 5th, 2009
ATUS is showing his own anti-semitism with his comments when he says that Michael Jackson's anti-semitic rants are not anti-semetic because they are known truths. Anytime you take a group of people and lump them all together and say that they are all "the same" you are being racist or anti-semetic. I would like to know how ATUS feels when people generalize about his race. I think he belongs to a race of people who don't know how to spell and are stupid accoding to what he wrote here.
at 11:06 on July 10th, 2009
He was indeed Anti-African American! That's why he spent so much time & money under the knife to change the color of his skin, his wide nose, etc. etc.
He was a bigot against the black & the jew. The two groups of people responsible for his talent & monetary success. He was unbelievably talented, but unhappy & ignorant about the real cause of his misery. What a shame. BTW, you sound pretty anti-semitic yourself by your post, Atus.
at 11:35 on July 10th, 2009
Mike Dinwiddie.... You are flawed with your logic and need to educate yourself better! Even though etymologically the word Semites does not strictly refer to Jews alone, the word "anti-Semitic or Antisemitism is historically and etymologically a reference specifically against Jews! The prefix anti and the word Semite doesn't directly oppose each other in meaning! It's definition and meaning was popularized by a Prussan Journalist Treitschke and a German Journalist named Welheim Marr, arguing the Jewish "race" was inferior and threat to the Aryon race! So in answer to your question, no your dad isn't a antisemite if he only dislikes Arabs.
at 01:08 on July 13th, 2009
Candice, if you want to say you have racist elements, well, good for you; you should be proud of yourself. Just don't ascribe the same lack of principals to me. And if you think calling people out on being racist is "whining," then you are indeed an idiot. And yes, I'm calling you out on your confessed racism. Shame on you. And shame on you for thinking that's whining. I suppose Martin Luther King was whining, too. Let's talk when you get some ethics. And yes, I put my money where my mouth is, apprehending a guy who was about to rape an 11 year-old girl and who was wanted for a string of 34 rapes and robberies — and receiving a medal from the mayor of Chicago for doing this.
And Mak, you're (notice the spelling, moron) just as big a racist. That's right; I'm a filthy rich Jew driving my Mercedes. How dare you? The fact is the majority of Jews need to know how to tip? Maybe these people are sensitive enough to see your seething hatred and feel you're not worth squat. Or maybe they're just French. How can you be so inhospitable, working in the hospitality industry, and expect any tips at all? I'd write more, but I have to get on my high horse and ride to my Mercedes and pick up my share of Michael Jackson's wealth at the international Jewish conspiracy meeting. And I won't tip the valet parking attendant. Only problem is, I'm not Jewish. Sorry to burst your bubble.
This my final posting. You people are clueless haters and aren't worth it. If you haven't learned better by now, the chances are slim you ever will.

Hey, sorry, I haven't been around here for a while because I've been busy dividing my time between the lab, researching vitiligo, and volunteering for those who are dying needlessly for this country. What did I miss?
at 12:31 on July 6th, 2009
Michi Gold , who in his post claims that Jackson is an anti-semite for some reason refers to him as Michael Jackson "the muslim" . Why would he needlessly mention the fact that he is a muslim ? Thats a pathetic contradictory post .
at 13:50 on July 6th, 2009
Michael Jackson said he wrote those lyrics to represent views of prejudgism in the world. I'd like to think this is true but can see how the words can be misconstrued.
at 13:28 on July 7th, 2009
I still fail to understand how this guy gets a pass from the media for being a pedophile and an anti semite. Unbelieveable!
