Re: Taj Jackson Launches a GoFundMe Page to Create a Documentary on MJ's Innocence - link [MERGED]
I loved the end of Taj's talk on Sunrise when he said the fans are incredibly knowledgeable, have done the research and possess the facts! I was thankful for that, because yes, it's true. Fans have done hours upon hours of work, I'm glad it's noticed!
Despite giving Taj some points, I have to say I still haven't donated, for the reasons stated by others... the Jacksons just do not appear trustworthy or reliable, and actually a few dollars can cut into a fan's budget; some fans are struggling to pay bills and eat. My best friend and I are huge MJ fans, we are following the news, speaking up online, but TV licences have been cancelled, internet providers have been cut down to cheaper deals, and less food is bought for the weekly shop, because money has been such a struggle the last year or so. We are both chronically ill. I would like to donate further down the line IF it's obvious that the documentary is being made for definite. And if it's sensible. Of course not all fans are struggling financially but some are, and even those that aren't, it's perfectly OK to have other priorities, expenses that affect their personal lives; and it's perfectly OK to distrust the Jacksons and want to wait. No one likes feeling as if they've been foolish. $10 could go on a toy for a niece, a friend's birthday gift, new jeans for a new goal weight, really anything. I think most fans want to contribute towards something that they're sure, 100%, they can have faith in.
