I read through a bunch of posts and I apologize for not calling out specifically who said what. I decided it is best to generalize what it is I am trying to say and I hope and pray you all understand…
My family is my family. I love them. I don't speak to them often. We don't always agree and I have criticism of things they have done and in my opinion have failed to do, but if someone else were to criticize my family I would be upset.
Michael has publicly spoken about his hurt concerning his dad. He did this as a way of helping others to understand him - not to pass insult, judgment or hurt to his dad. I don't recall a single interview where he has criticized his siblings. He may have disagreed with many of the things any and or all members of his family have done but be assured of this he LOVED his family!
We can sit back as spectators and judge Michael's family for the things they do and the choices they make but it's their choices to make and any choices they make it is their consciences that live with those choices. I believe in my heart of hearts the love Mrs. Katherine will forever have for her darling son Michael will propel her to do what she feels is best. Will people try to take advantage of her and the rest of his family? They have been doing so for years so don't expect any parasite to stop now but please don't discredit Michael's mothers heart and her faith and her will to do what is right...
Michael's name was scandalized as we all know and he endured more hurt, pain, public ridicule, judgment and criticism than perhaps any man in history and he never deserved it!!! Tears well up in my eyes as I write these words because I know some of what he endured and that is probably the most minute part of it all and it is devastatingly overwhelming!!! I love him like you do and in honor of Michael again I am asking you his fans to please try not to criticize his family - they love him- he loved them...
I am not asking anyone not to feel a certain way. We are human and it is hard to control the way you feel. What I am asking is for us, all of us not to go to some public board or community and lash out in remarks of distrust or dislike or hatred for relatives of his who are trying their best to do what is right...
I have no idea if Randy was aware of Oprah’s interview or not but why can we not simply take him at his word. When people bring up issues from years ago concerning the trial or whatever then please know that is old news and ancient history. Someone said Randy was accused of taking money from Michael's website… Do we know how many people were out to get Michael or what ways they could have transpired to creep into his funds? I'm not simply talking about hired crooks I'm talking about government agents who wanted to bring the black man Michael Jackson down... I am not defending Randy because I don't know what happened but I am saying please give him the benefit of the doubt. Michael never accused Randy of anything so why should we?
It's time we all start re evaluating our actions - more specifically our words... We are hurting the fans, feeding the press and if his children have access to these websites what do you think they will see, think or believe? Can we please stand together in a show of unity and support and please, please, please can we stop all the backbiting, judgment and hatred that's roaming across the net? Can we start that here? Can we spread it everywhere throughout Michael's fan base as best we can as the Lord allows? Can we do that for Michael? For his children? For each other? Please??? I believe we can look within ourselves and find a way. I know we can!
There is an amazing saying that goes together we stand - divided we fall. If we stand together we will stand- let's not take the fall into sharing, starting or propelling filthy tabloid rumors. Let's share LOVE, let's encourage other to do the same in LOVE and let's watch as God shines a light so bright through each of our hearts all the darkness will have to flee!
I love you guys!
God bless!!!
