Pop Star or Troubled Man?

" That's -- top story tonight reaction to that analysis with us Fox News analyst Marc -- field doctor Marc Lamont -- The racial thing -- Go ahead I'm you're what I said yeah I'm I'm I must admit I mean you have me baffled in your analysis here. To say that this is -- a racial issue in this man's entire career. Has been marked by the troops of race from from entertainer to the legal room. At all areas -- been marked by race yes the black community has embracing -- about -- wrap its arms around more in -- that's because the media has assaulted him. In ways that they don't do white people of that stature. I disagree a 100% I want the audience enough. The Jackson 5 came on the scene they were immediately a crossover -- that means white Americans bought the record just as much of black Americans know racial component. They were great entertaining group. Motown put them out white people bought the wreckage is as white people -- Stevie wonders records smokey Robinson's records so there's no racial component there. The man grows up. All right he has mega -- after negative after megahit every white person I know is dance and their buns off to off the wall and thriller. I don't see any racial -- there. I don't see him being criticized that it's only when he gets into the bizarre realm of bleaching -- in plastic surgery and sleeping with children. Strange children children adolescents with children. -- An adult sleeping with children."

" Not is -- it's unacceptable for any adult to do that that's not acceptable behavior only after that. You people come after I don't see if he were white guy people would say hey. That's not acceptable but here's the point though no witness saying that the media should not have drawn attention to Michael Jack to what the racial component component is now he has passed away -- but to about a mile to go when Jerry Falwell that you what I. I debated this very point you say it did -- three days full week. And let the people mourn him before you start talking about his racist politics you said that -- so why are we gonna Jerry Falwell something that we won't even get Michael Jackson look. I I'm not say anything about Michael Jackson in fact if you remember I was the -- said he was acquitted in a quarter law and it's got a -- reiterated that last night and I've never made any com. Any cop about his criminality ever -- okay because I I'm going with the system. Now the guy like Peter King comes out and he says and I -- Peter -- he's not a racist. He's not he says the -- upon salt in his opinion and it's shared by a lot of people. King -- said that the -- any color. Any color -- his rap sheet. Any call but it would have happened -- would have had to wait and that's what do you think then that wouldn't criticize exactly what I'm saying bull -- don't know that many would -- You -- but but but instead did you follow point -- you say I you critique me for calling -- a racist after a series of that's inappropriate behavior that's insensitive and as -- suspect -- legacy to do so. Not occasion that occasion to review because -- best that we do to celebrity after they -- today it's apples and large could somehow -- it is. -- gets up there and make some Martin Luther King Jr. c'mon. Now market that got these people look truth of the problems in addition to being perhaps the greatest -- Hudson smoltz aren't aren't and that -- about to say that. Michael Jackson also open -- for people on -- being on the video room at my argument. That's what he talked when he opened though he was the Jackie Robinson and only Michael plus a loved one and yeah. Absolutely did a couple people yeah people deep blacks and whites to -- packet. The reason we want blacks and whites are absolutely everybody liked his music that that that look back -- my -- yeah -- my argument for me. You just you get -- every point there's no racial up here district it is not racist doesn't mean it -- not very sure. Isn't any worries about what -- blacks -- got a critical part of the fact that a black man would this figure is facing such a way to resemble what what makes it a racial component okay then why he's being held up by the African American community is a pillar. All of Black America what -- you -- winning elections -- because we are a loyal people we are protected people we understand a good architecture white supremacy I don't even mind that that's I don't know. Record one look what look look Jackson's America he wants -- legions -- fine I don't care right. But answer me this if he has such a black American icon why any of us kids when white -- That that's a personal matter that doesn't make him less black there's a black is -- here you don't become less black when you have a white kid. You don't become my African American icon when you do something like -- you become an -- attacked her for producing the greatest. It was going to be the greatest entertainer ever -- it extraordinary humanitarian and -- let me get right you may remember an American icon -- that not a black that's ridiculous you're an American it's what people he has an American Idol. American eye candy is quintessentially American we've also undeniably black. You can't -- black from -- kids always a pleasure debating with you always out there."
