Michael Jackson, US Congress Mark a Moment of Silence for MJ

Again its all about the name. Michael Jackson was given his name back by Congress. He was emasculated by the media and many of the American public. He was stripped of his name by being paraded before America as a criminal before proof could be "found" not assumed "found" and raped of his identity. That is the same thing that was done to the male slaves when they were first brought to America. Their genitals were examined and their worth was determined by someone else opinion but for Michael Jackson he was redeemed. He was by the government recognized as who his Mama named him to be. A black man and a man of honor. America owed that to Michael. I am still waiting for the media that castrated him to come to a place of humility and say they were wrong for emasculating him on hear say. Until then, I will celebrate that at least one Black man in America got back what whas "legally" his, his name.

..."but for Michael Jackson he was redeemed. America owed that to Michael"...

Well said Vernell.
