Perpetual Smile

As sick as I am of hearing about Michael Jackson being dead and all that, some of the things that people have been saying just kill me. You’ve got the people who idolize him, even though the dude was totally messed up in the head and was a pedophile. Yes. In this day and age, we idolize pedophiles. Because I’m sorry, the man admitted himself that he slept in the same bed with little kids. And if he could admit to that, who knows what else he did. It’s my firm belief that kids don’t lie, unless they want a cookie. They don’t lie about being molested.

Anyway.

You’ve got the people who write poetry about his death, the people who forgot entirely that Farrah Fawcett died too, and the people who brought racial condescension into the conversation:

Yes. He went there. “Whites will never understand.” WHITES. Like sheep. Like white people are stupid. Like they just don’t get that the guy’s music brought together a whole mess of people and made them happy. Like Michael Jackson is just above and behind the intelligence of the average white person.

I spent two years in a school system where the darker you were, the better you were considered to be. And I hate that kind of mindset, in anyone. I cannot understand why, in 2009, people are still being treated like they are nothing because of the color of their skin, or the religion of their choice.

Maybe I’m white, but at least I know to stay away from child molesters.

PS: Ed McMahon and Billy Mays also died, people. Show some damn respect and tweet about them, too!
