“MJ will be my new name. No more Michael Jackson. I want a whole new character, a whole new look. I should be a totally different person. People should never think of me as the kid who sang “ABC”, “I Want You Back”. I should be a new incredible actor, singer, dancer that will shock the world. I will do no interviews. I will be magic. I will be a perfectionist, a researcher, a trainer, a master. I will be greater than every great actor roped in one. I must have the most incredible training system, to dig and dig and dig until I find. I will study and look back at the whole world of entertainment and perfect it. Take it steps further from where the greats left off.“ - November 6th, 1979/Destiny Tour (Journey From Motown: Off The Wall.)

I enjoy nature too much…I know the tree feels it when the wind blows through it. It probably goes, ‘Ohhhh, this is wonderful.’ And that´s how I feel when I´m singing some songs. It´s wonderful. Plus, I’m crazy for birds and animals and puppies. And I love exotic things. I’ve had llamas, peacocks, a rhea, which is the second largest bird in the world, a macaw, which is the largest parrot from South America, pheasants, racoons, chickens….everything. Now, I’m gonna get a faun. And a flamingo…. I want a chimpanzee – they’re so sweet. Oh, I have such a good time with the animals. I have a wonderful relationship with animals, they really understand me…. I’d like to get into the whole veterinarian thing and learn the behaviour of animals. Dogs may see in black and white. Dogs might even see the wind. And what about the king cobra – what makes him come up when they play that pipe?

okay we need to put this “michael jackson didn’t want to be black” bullshit to rest here and now

not only did he suffer from vitiligo, a skin disease which gradually de-pigmented his melanin and caused him to appear lighter throughout his life, but he also:

  • attended black power events in Harlem in the early 2000s in which he spoke out against white washing and racism in the music industry
  • donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the NAACP, the United Negro College Fund, and other black charities/organizations
  • sang and spoke out about institutional racism and police brutality in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s; his original video for “They Don’t Care About Us” is set in a prison and was allegedly the inspiration for Kendrick’s Grammy performance
  • made frequent trips to Africa which he referred to as his “home”
  • wanted the video for “Remember the Time” to be a purposeful statement against white washing in Egyptian movies and went out of his way to ensure the entire cast was black/brown
  • invited low income majority black kids and their families to his amusement park at his home in Neverland for no cost
  • bought back the catalogues of black musicians like Little Richard who were ripped off by white producers/studios and returned them to their rightful owners
  • explicitly stated that he did not want to be portrayed by a white actor because he was “a black American [who was] proud of [his] race and proud of who [he] was”
  • never ever attempted to “alter his black features” (a bizarre and offensive charge within itself) and in fact received minimal plastic surgery despite tabloid rumor

denying Michael’s race isn’t just racist and disrespectful it also belittles his accomplishments as a proud black man who conquered a racist white industry
