after watching the MJ tribute coverage today, i can only ask this:
can i get ONE MORE WHITE PERSON to explain the social/cultural ramifications on hip-hop of MJ's career?

...if you feel you are 'intellectual' enough to explain ANY medium to any person, you are both a fool and arrogant...

people know what they see and hear and feel...

the M$M can find plenty of 'expert' pundits...but fail to hit the street, where the real action lives...

1. I have a question
WHEN WILL IT STOP???? Fox news shrewdly went back to programming and touting Palin... the only channel that wasn't ruminating over and over re MJ

6. dog: rescued....cat: found abandoned in wood (mother probably killed) at age @ 1 week...
the cat is pretty sure the dog is his mother....

and the dog thinks 'his cat' isn't like all the cats he likes to chase...

7. made the mistake of tuning into M$NBC to see news coverage...

10. The only thing truly deep I've heard in the past 24 hours...
Came from Diana Ross, Elizabeth Taylor, and MJ's little girl. I'm making it a point to forget the names of his children... until such a time as they are old enough to decide for themselves that I, and others, know it.

11. Don't be too surprised if Old Joe manages to find a way to use them to make a buck.
The man apparently has neither heart nor shame.
