Michael Jackson is a black man

 This is an old piece about Michael Jackson. I need to make a part two cos someone some lame ass impersonator wanted to say he ain't black.  I need to write part two. 

Michael jackson is a black man

Michael Jackson is a black man 

He passed away as a black man 

He was born to be a black man 

He didn't plan on being white…

His mama is black, papa is black 

So  why would you wanna be like him

Cos of his skin?

He had vitiligo----

First of all 

You can't dance like him

Secondly 

You don't even know 

The first thing about being 

A black man 

Especially in America 

Why?

I'm sorry to say 

You can't find a light skinned 

Brotha to play him

I'm sorry for being a little racist 

But the last time I checked 

Michael was African American 

And you person Who's not black

Tried to portray him..

Am I being a bitch about it?

Am I annoyed by racism?

Cos this is how I feel 

He's a real person 

Plus 

He said in his own words

He doesn't want a

White person to play him…

Don't you see?

Do you see 

He was a real person?

I don't know 

If he wanted to be white

Or hate his own race…

I don't know that at all

All I know

He has brown skin 

Dark brown eyes

Beautiful nappy hair

He was beautiful 

He was a masterpiece 

And 

You wanna play him…you wanna be in 

His shoes…the shoes of a black man-----

You need to go somewhere 

Cos 

You don't know the first thing 

Being black----

And I will never watch a show 

Or a movie 

That you play a role of the King of pop

With the whiteness on….

I understand 

The idea and story 

But 

You can't based on 

Michael Jackson’s skin 

That's cruel, and offensive 

Michael Jackson is a

Black man---

He got a black soul 

He can dance 

He can sing

And you want to play him….

You wanna play him 

However 

You can't 

You really can't

Play him----

Not at all 

Michael Jackson 

Is

A

Black 

Man

He will always be 

A black man----

I apologize for being 

A 

Racist 

But 

You're talkin about 

A real person 

Who 

Has

Touched a million souls with 

This heavenly rare Gift

That came from the skies…

A real person 

Who can moonwalk onstage like 

Nobody's business----

And we won't be able to have that 

No more----

You can't ruin the magic…you can't 

Crush the power….

You can't be the man in the mirror 

You can't be….

To me

You're nowhere near 

Close to look like him….

Sorry,

You can't be…cos

Michael Jackson is 

A

Black 

Man…he is…
