30. Jackson The Kid
I personally think that Michael Jackson is exactly what he says he is; a person who never had a childhood and is trying to create one for himself - complete with Sleepovers, Toys and Games. If he were 10 years old nobody would see anything wrong with it. However, because he's 45 people are holding him to an adult standard that he doesn't understand.
I have slept in the same bed with children. So, probably, have most people.If no sexual activity took place, and they simply slept, I say "What's your problem?" And, let's face it, people Do have motivation for accussing him. When he says that he is a victim, I believe that He believes it. It might even be true.
If the D.A. can prove that anything untoward happened; if the reports of spiked soda can be proved, then That moves it into a different area.
I don't see how Racism plays a part here. But that doesn't mean that the race card won't be played. Frankly, it disgusts me that rich people who are obviously guilty start on that thing. Ordinary Black people may, indeed, be the victims of racism, but very few black people are in the same situation as multi-millionaires, adored by the public.
Do I think he did it? Not sure. Maybe. Do I think the race card will be played? Oh, yeah. But I Do think that, no matter the outcome of the trial, he Should get some help. Normal 45 year olds don't behave like he does.
