Michael Jackson to Apologize for Alleged Remarks on Jews

SHARE:

Adjust text size:


A not so flattering message from Jacko was aired yesterday on "Good Morning America".

"They suck...they're like leeches...I'm so tired of it", Jackson was telling his former adviser Dieter Wiesner. "The Jews do it on purpose."

The message had been recorded two years ago and was now exposed to the press by attorney Howard King, in an attempt to demonstrate that Michael Jackson isn't a victim, but a victimizer.

Mr. King represents Wiesner and another former adviser who are now suing Jackson.
The private telephone message caused the prompt reaction of the Anti-Defamation League, who demanded the singer apologize for calling Jews 'leeches'.

Jackson's spokesman, Raymone K. Bain, said the singer had no comment on the report.
And Brian Oxman, one of the Jackson family attorneys, declared that the so called messages were in fact "telephone conversations recorded without permision."

Michael Jackson has also upset Jewish groups back in 1995, when he included lyrics like "Jew me/Sue me/Everybody do me/Kick me/Kike me" on the song "They Don't Care About Us."

And now they've killed him.

Just like Anna.

Why do you think he was sick of the Jews...Because he was racist?? NO. Because of what they were doing to him.

I use to hate Michael Jackson, but now I realized he was just being manipulated so they could keep him controlled.

Same with anna, I used to hate her...but she was kept "under control" by these jew reptiles as well.

I know this will get deleted but its true.

Ok here's what I have to think...
I could write all day about how amazing Michael Jackson was, but I only have one point to prove.
Michael Jackson was a humanitarian. He was not racist. He was hurt so many times in his life no matter what he did because of people like the paparazzi who just won't leave him ALONE. All of this is a scam to make some greedy people attention and popularity and money. Big. Surprise. There.
Would you listen to the other words of the song, please? He is defending his own color! AFTER the "kick me kike me" line is "don't you black or white me". Duh.
He tries to do the right thing and his words are twisted around and thrown in the dirt. Have you people nothing better to do than humiliate others?
So, yeah, maybe he said kike in one song. So please tell me why no one is going after the hundreds of rappers singing about girls and what they want to do to them in bed? Listen to one of those songs, please, and tell me which is worse.

This is complete BS.. The Jews LOVE Michael Jackson and they are the scapegoats of the world as Michael is to the entertainment business. Someone has it in for the Jews because because they are successful and resented the fact that MJ was close to them. There is a common bond between the Jews and Michael Jackson. This was all created by those who denounced MJ. They stirred up trouble to cause a rift between him and the Jewish people.

Get your facts straight, there were NO Jews in the end with MICHAEL. That was his biggest mistake! Unlike Who sued him in the end for millions and now owns the majority of NEVERLAND and scrapped it! They were some pretty shady characters around him in the end...NONE of which were around him.

I am Jewish (race) and I am not offended at all by these words. It's obvious that it was about people being racist towards Jews, not about his so called anti Semitic views.
