I think we didn’t have a post with the full set in correct order yet:
Page 1: “What made Thriller big”
- attached to the KKK article (see top left corner)
- paper ripped out of a notebook
- main text written with a ballpoint pen
Page 2: “Elvis is not King”
- backside of page 1
- same pen
Page 3: “throughout history”
- letter size (?) paper from a folder
- not attached to KKK article (corners of paper are all intact)
- main text written with a fountain pen
Page 4: “I love white people Black people”
- backside of page 4
- main text written with a fountain pen
- additional text and drawing with ballpoint pen
So the full transcript reads:
WHAT MADE THRILLER BIG
I have found that when I have a reason, a deep reason of anger, I really come through to prove myself like on Thriller.
I hated unequality in record business
Blacks weren't able to be on MTV, the most watched musical show.
Signs like Disco Sucks all over town
The cross over unequality
Not being able to be on cover of white publications.
being told 'we don't put Blacks on our covers, Blacks don't sale (sell).'
All this put fire in me to sale (sell) the biggest selling album
of all time to get recognition
to have whites and Black of all races love me
to be on cover of Time, Life, Newsweek
But I did it all out of anger, to get even, to prove myself.
Elvis is not king
Show Springsteen whose boss
I will have the entire Mags of Time, Newsweek, People.
I was very very angry. I had to prove myself, and change things.
Do it 200,000,000 for the white children, so they'll have Black heroes.
So they don't grow up prejudice, all kids.
Now what must I do out of anger on this album to prove myself.
There's a whole new generation of white kids who are children to the KKK
I saw on the news on Martin Luther King's birthday, these kids were watching their parents stone black people. They will grow up prejudice(d). They hate Blacks. My goal is to become so big, so powerful, to become such a hero to end prejudice to make these little white kids love me by selling over 200,000,000 albums.
Make them look up to me. I will change I have changed. +200,000,00 the world.
Throughout history white men
have always branded the pages of
history with great white hopes
putting whites over blacks as
nobles like Elvis being The King
of Rock and Roll
Springsteen being the boss
or The Beatles being the best.
Yes these guys were good
but they weren't better singers
or dancers than the blacks.
The difference is whites control
the press the media and they can
make the public believe whatever
they desire. Plus a lot of blacks have been
ugly to look at. You must be beautiful looking.
I will change this "NOW"
with the power of my songs and dance
and "looks" and total reclusiveness
and mystery world(?).
I will rule as the king.
I am not prejudice, it's
just time for the first
black king now. and
Forever. I love White people, Black people, All races.
I want what's fair. Now is the time for my Kingship.
I want all races to love as one.
Now MJ the King forever.
Hide. Recluse. Genius. Billionaire.
Strange. Beautiful Face. Greatest actor, singer, dancer, performer.
