IT'S JUST A LIFESTYLE CHOICE:

Jacko plays race card as act of desperation (Stanley Crouch, April 1, 2004, NY Daily News)

The way in which Michael Jackson is conducting himself as his child molestation case comes closer to trial proves a couple of things.

At the age of 45, Jackson seems to have lost contact with any reality - other than the one we have learned to accept in our time, which is that constant repetition of an image often can manipulate the masses.

But even in his loopy state, there are factors of color that he chooses to play on. When it was convenient, he chose to be just a human being. Now he feels that he must call upon black allegiance, based on the skin pigment he once had.

One other thing is proved: the considerable support that Mr. Jackson has received from fans and fellow celebrities shows just how close we are to the normalization of paedophilia in Blue America.
