Retweet: Phonte of Little Brother on MJ & Blackness

@phontigallo

“Another thing that makes me sad about MJ’s death is that people will focus on the weird shit, but his pro-Blackness will go unmentioned.


Make no mistake about it, ever-changing skin color be damned, Michael Joseph Jackson was one of THEE Blackest motherfuckers in music.

I mean, seriously…Mike is the same cat who 1) Called Tommy Mottola a devil…..2) Sang about a beautiful African woman in “Liberian Girl”


3) Sang “white man’s gotta make a change” live on the Grammies in ‘88….4) Sang an African chant at the end of “Wanna Be Startin…”


And let’s not even mention “They Don’t Really Care About Us.” Who you think the “they” and “us” were?

Even though MJ was the biggest star in the universe, deep down he knew that underneath it all he was still just a nigga from Gary.

RT @lovelyone80 in black or white he said “I ain’t scared of no sheets”«<all types of ebonics and talking about the KKK


RT @djtopspin He threatened 2 pull all his vids from MTV in the 80s until they aired more black artists as well. He was the musical ‘Ali’

And also, the “Remember the Time” video took place in Egypt and portrayed Black people as kings and queens. MJ was nobody’s sellout.”
