I respect talent. And I really respect exceptional talent. It's an extremely rare commodity. Michael Jackson had a very special gift. He had the ability to mesmerize literally billions of people with his music and his persona. He fed off of the adulation and morphed himself into a caricature. Yes, he was abused. Not only by his father and those around him but also by an insatiable media. Given those circumstances I'll try and comprehend the whole race and gender modification thing. What troubles me most is the repeated abuse of sick children left alone with him. It is well documented what happened to those boys. A single accusation might be defensible. Multiple affidavits citing providing alcohol and pornography to minors followed by sexual misconduct is indefensible. Mr. Jackson paid millions of dollars to his accusers after he was acquitted in criminal court. That is not an action of an innocent man.
