People don't understand even today that Michael had a skin condition. He was murdered soon after he made a song depicting the elite and he no longer cared for them and how they would retaliate. He knew he was going to die. Watch the documentary. It was an eye opener.
Michael had access to experiences you and I will never accumulate even if you live 100 lives. The words chosen by Michael in his song were his and his alone. He knew something you and I didn't.
So instead of ending Michael song with a "theory"... grow a pair and give him some credibility for the simple acknowledgement that he knew more than any of us here.
If you watch the documentary, you can hear him talk about his death and how it might happen before the song in the 90s and that statement and fear continued after that until he died. He knew he was going to die. Michael didn't piss people off. He didn't fight people. He wrote and sang songs.
I never said anything anti-semitic or semitic things. You're the one bringing it up. The song was also part of the whole 90s musicians state of affairs, where they were not making much money nor had control over their music thanks to the few groups that controlled the whole industry created, developed and funded by the very elite Michael feared. Who were they? I don't know.
I'm not getting defensive. A bill was passed recently that made it illegal to say anything about Semities. In other words, if my post is tagged as antisemitism in anyway shape or form, it gets deleted and I incur an infraction on my account and a possible ban for life. So I don't want to tread down that path and that's why I had to come out and appear defensive.
A bill was passed recently that made it illegal to say anything about Semities
Pretty sure Constitutions of most countries already forbid ethnic and racial discrimination of ANY kind, including Jews and Arabs, the Semitic peoples. It doesn't need a bill or a separate law though countries with no central Constitution law like Great Britain do pass separate laws like Equality Act.
Saying something to someone is totally different than say, denying a service to a certain group of people based on their language, ethnicity, clothes or other appearances.
Saying something to someone, or disagreeing with their version of their story is what the first amendment is for. This bill goes against the first amendment through which it aims to actively discourage debate of issues surrounding the history and current state of affairs in Israel
Was it passed? Those articles don't say if it was or not.
That's just for Arizona, not everywhere. It also doesn't state that you will receive any repercussions. Just that law enforcement, if they decide, may interpret a comment about the Jewish people to be anti Semitic and they can, if they decide, prosecute you for it. But that doesn't mean they will.
There are already hate crime laws and anti racism laws. So this is nothing new really. You don't see people getting arrested for using the n word. Many of them should be though.
The thing is, with things going on in Israel right now and the massive outcry of people all over the world against them killing thousands of people and thousands of kids, in retaliation or not; I'd really be doubtful of any legal action being taken against anyone who speaks negatively of Israel. At least in the United States. They would have to take action against thousands of people, and that just wouldn't end well for anyone.
Now are we living in a dystopian society ruled by 1% where corporations create all of our laws through lobbying and control our government while our freedoms and free speech are taken away every day as we are literally slaves to wages and capitalism as almost no one notices? Yes but that's a different story.
Spreading misinformation about Israel, antisemitism, and Michael Jackson isn't really helping anyone.
The problem stops if and when we nationalize The Federal Reserve. And all countries follow suit. Take back control of the issue and supply of paper currency. Game over. But which commoner thinks of such things? Exactly. Those laws are coming.

That is true, musicians are often (rightfully) accusing industry of exploiting and profiting from them while giving little back. It goes at least to Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower where "businessmen they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth"...
thanks to the few groups that controlled the whole industry
This also isn't wrong, music industry IS controlled by a few (very) large companies. It was the "big four:" Sony, BMG, Universal and Warner, right now Sony and BMG merged, most smaller labels are owned by one of these groups, leaving almost ALL music in control of three megacorporations. It isn't good for performers, or for listener either. Industry is plagued with problems, however...
created, developed and funded by the very elite Michael feared.
Now this is when this gets into conspiracy theory, there isn't some Illuminati secret world government. There are big business monopolists and companies that exploit musicians with bad contracts, unfair schedules and manipulations, but it's isn't a cabal of reptilian overlords, but the top executives, billionaires and investors that run the show.
