Blacks Cashing In On Michael Jackson's Death by xoxoxo(f): 3:04am On Jul 03, 2009
When Mike was alive, blacks didn't give a 4k about him.  As soon as he passed away they were the first cashing in on his death. Everyday selling T-shirts, bootlegs cd's/videos, stickers etc.  Blacks were quick to call him weirdo, laughed at his nose/feature and make fun of him on stage.

Funny how his (European Whites) fans who stood by him during his trials are mourning while blacks are cashing in on his death.  SMH at that thread below

Before he died, N'Landers D-Listed him
Now, he is A-Listed

RIP MJ

I personally don't like to make issues out of everything. How does it matter if a black or white skinned man
sells MJ's T-shirt?

I know you are a smart guy so u know what I am talking about.  it's a shame now that he is gone, we all miss him dearly.  Watch to see that same Quincy Jones  is going to release unfinished/never released songs which of course will make $$$$ not to mention the kings/queens of bootlegs who wants to cash in on him too.  Remember Michael mentioned in an interview that he did a cd couple yrs ago  (during his rough times)and sony refused to promote it.  I am sure they prolly dusting off that same cd  to cash in on it.  And u know what they are going to say "They are songs he was working on"  yea right! how about "songs we refused to promote when he was alive."

I heard they are getting ready to push his album "butterflies"? yep, the same one they didn't push when he was alive.  It's a pity now that he is dead he is worth more.  RIP MJ.
