  1.  @MagicUzer  These are just excuses. Like most of us black people, Michael Jackson suffered from racial dysphoria trying to make his way in a globalized eurocentric civilization where an African look is not the standard for anything. Chuck Berry experienced it first hand when all he worked for was taken and given to Elvis Presley. McHammer experienced it when Vanilla Ice won all the awards with a song shittier than everything he put out. In Michael Jackson's case, MTV wouldn't even consider him even after releasing the best pop hit the world had ever seen. They rather talked about putting Madonna in the spotlight as the "Queen of Pop". Black looks arent even accepted as the standard for black creations, that's why today Eminem is being portrayed as the GOAT of rap instead of 2Pac Shakur. It is the evil of eurocentric standards that caused MJ to give us all the excuses in the world to artificially turn himself into a fake Caucasian just to finally reach the height of his career as he aspired. Otherwise, white media would have never labeled him "The King of Pop".

  2. She's not honest. In fact, she contradicts herself. She cared enough what people thought about her when she was darker shade that she bleached herself. But at the same time she doesn't care what other people think about her bleaching herself. The fact is that she made a selfish decision to exit her own race and be accepted by Caucasians. Like the other girl said, her action is an expression of internalized self hate

  4. She's a part of the problem. Instead of staying in the community of their own kind that appreciates her, she wants to be accepted by white people so she changes herself extensively and blames society
