People, to this day, do not understand how many doors Michael Jackson opened for Black artists.
many...any black artists whose videos made it to MTV was because of this man...this man set the bar for music videos
Or basically anybody for that matter.
Yes
It was only an Mtv thing. BLack artist will always have their material Sabotage. And be asked to step aside for White artists. It's America people. Don't expect anything different.
Facts!!!
The first black artist who became popular everywhere with a worldwide appeal and impact, he broke the barriers.
The biggest superstar of all time 👑
Jesus loves you
His got the best selling album of all time too
The Guinness book of world records named MJ the most successful entertainer of all time which is great. But do you have any idea what figures/metrics, statistics or accomplishments they looked at to determine MJ is indeed the most successful??
@@for-house-stark Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time,
Five of his solo albums - "Off the Wall," "Thriller," "Bad," "Dangerous" and "HIStory," are among the top-sellers of all time (a record),
He is the most awarded artist in history,
Back in Jackson 5 aged 11 years, he was the youngest vocalist ever to top the Billboard Hot 100 with I Want You Back,
Thriller remained at the top on the Billboard 200 album chart for thirty-seven weeks, setting a record for the longest run at number one by a studio album,
His Bad album set the record of the most number-ones singles from one album,
He got more number-one singles than any other recording artist in the 1980s,
He is the only act to have top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 across five consecutive decades (1970s-2010s),
There are so many others, check his records and achievements.
@@thrill82j I'm aware of all these. I just wanted to know if there was something more
He was always a leader in terms of standing up for racial equality. He was the one who broke through the racial barrier, with his music videos
Jesus loves you
what barrier
equality or equity?
@@Woodsaras for many organisations like MTV, black artists weren’t pop
Well sort of.
He kind of created a false dichotomy with that by slowly hacking away at his own Afro centric features at the same time he was breaking these same barriers down, so it's almost like robbing Peter to pay Paul if that's the message you're really trying to deliver.
MJ's message would have had alot more power if he maintained his Afro centric looks, especially towards the end of his career when his music started becoming more political.
Is what it is, people will just need to take the lessons.
"I just look in the mirror I know I'm Black" you better talk yo ish Michael 💯 Michael is overall a beautiful Human Being we need more people like him in the world He truly made a change through his music and all of the other wonderful contributions he did for the world. This is one of the many things that I love about Him is that he never forgot where he came from he was extremely humble and he was kind. I love this man with everything that's in me
He was phenomenally gifted & humble but the world never deserved him!
"The minute I started breaking the all time record record sales, I broke Elvis's records. I broke the Beatles records. The minute it became the all time best selling album in history of the Guinness Book of World Records, overnight they called me a freak,..." . This speaks volumes about the music industry and the part the media plays. Michael spoke his truth but not much has change since.
I think it’s less to do with any personal vendetta rather than industries that profit off of picking people up to only tear them down later.
@@RocStarr913very true because they’d always love you when you’re new till they’re tired of seeing become big for too long then you become the villain
Not "his truth" he spoke THE Truth
I’ve heard white people say MJ was not black because of how well he did musically. I am glad that the video was shared to highlight his pride in being a black man. I also enjoyed hearing the historical musical content Michael shared concerning Elvis and the Beatles. All of their music is BLACK MUSIC.
For anyone who’s hasn’t heard the MJ and Steve Harvey radio interview from 2001 I highly recommend giving it a listen MJ drops a lot of gems in it
Please provide that link
Do you have a link?
Love that interview!
Damn I am just now finding out about it after my 15+ year obsession with MJ
@@crazy4corbinbleux 😊😄😄😄👍👑🇦🇷🌎
It's so amazing to hear him or anyone that's portrayed in the media with their own voice. It's terrible how this has gone on and evolved with technology. It's getting worse, not better. Love to hear him stand up like that. He sounded great. Thank you.
Jesus loves you
It came out of his own mouth. He was proud to be black. Proud of his heritage. He is the greatest entertainer of all time. He surpassed all the records. I'm proud of you Michael. Love you Michael.
@@dirtydiana7365 Exactly.
he's spitting absolute facts in the speech
Shit ugly Freak jacko without nose looked like a monster
The Media made the people hate Mr.Jackson....He was a God's Gift...Human's messed up destroying this Wonderful Soul...As time goes these people will realise & miss Mr.Jackson badly... It's not easy to heal the whole world...But Mr.Jackson did...And how did he got repaid ?? Bullying , False allegations , Body shaming ; etc..Cruel World...R.i.p King of Humanity 💐
And Leaving Neverland too, made the world hate him
Michael Jackson has done ✅ the right thing by standing up for people, please let us give him the salutations! Racism is & never allowed... Ever!
When he said the moment he started breaking all the records is when he became a target, that hit hard because we can see that it was true.
I think he was merely a victim of his own success. It’s an industry that always profits off of building people up only to tear them down later.
To detail. Thank you for the bravery of creating and posting this video. Michael was basically saying that, because he was black was the reason that he was treated so horribly. Facts. "Conspiracy. "Love you Michael.
One of the greatest black men living or dead. He truly pushed Black excellence to levels that will never be duplicated.
He was a good man, so heartbreaking to see him explaining all the time how somebody misunderstood or what they thought. People were so salty with his success and started targetting him left right and center.
Great Job my friend!!👏🏻❤️
People always want to disconnect Michael Jackson from black culture music history and community just because his physical appearance and saying he didn't like being black. Michael Joseph Jackson was a black man he lived man he was proud to be black man and he died black man. Listen people, I'm saying he died African American man with vitiligo. He changed for black people and he did a lot for black music. He said on his praise black beauty. I don't understand why people saying he hated his blackness. He had NOTHING hatred of his race and skin.
I support you
Thank you so much 🙏🏾🤗. God bless you
He used his platform to empowwr black people.look at remember the time video all black celebs featured.He featured dark skinnmodels like imán and Naomi when he could have Cindy crawford or whatever.He wa sbasically telling the whole world black IS beautiful with those videos.Also featured Jordan making him even more global out of the states.he chose spike lee to Direct his músic videos and gave him visibility too.
Michael was proud of his race he had vertiligo he cared about his presence in front of his fans he was held highly the greatest most humble man of our time I am so thrilled I was apart of this era I miss and love Michael a light in the world of ignorance he made a difference and try to pull the world together as one. I wish he was still here I cry every time i hear his music and when there is something good that he deserves I love his smile he will never be forgotten I just wish he could rest in peace you blasphemers will hang in hell media etc still love Michael 2024
Even if he didn't what did Malcolm X say about musicians and entertainers. He can't escape the fact that he's black not even if he tried too which he NEVER tried too. MJ is a black icon whether they like it or not.
He’s exactly right. I had a former co worker who was white, he didn’t want me to succeed to better myself by making more money but I did it anyway. Ran into another guy who worked there and said that guy is no longer with the job because of the pandemic. And yet he was trying to become a driver at the job but didn’t want me taking that spot but I didn’t want it anyway I left for another job and got paid more than the drivers up there. Some white people HATE to see someone else succeed especially if the “succeeder” were in the same position as them. I’m always happy to see anybody move up from anything
No get it right they HATE to see BLACK PEOPLE or a BLACK PERSON succeed over them...when you have being superior over one for see decades and centuries it becomes a household habit to be better than YOU.
Congratulations to you. I am happy you didn’t take that job because he would’ve made your life living hell.
Wait, but how do you know it was because of your race? I mean some people dont like seeing others succeed at all. It could be something else too. So what made you think that was their intetions?
Often forget how softly spoken and quiet he was behind the scenes
Michael was like Martin Luther King he wanted justice for all races and they tried to stop her m because he was powerful and he was making a change long live Michael
@@marlon-jl4ge he was trying to make a change for all races period
@marlon you are an insult to life
@marlon and how he was doing the same shit trying to stand up for all races you don’t know what you are talking about you just be saying shit
That is why he is the greatest. All of the accusations came after he became bigger than any white artist.
Thank you
Facts
Say it loud…black and proud! I love it! I love how he spoke about it without fear. He was an icon that opened many doors! Much respect!
Michael modeled his approach to music in the same way MLK did with the Civil Rights Movement. He used his platform to make music/performances that would carry the same sentiment. They tried to tarnish his legacy but the truth still stands, he was a threat to the industry.
This man is the truth. By God, I know in my soul his good name will be restored. He was not a God, but he certainly was anointed and carried out his mission with a profound level of grace given the amount of suffering he was subjected to. This man is the only in history, to unite souls across every continent - the first King hailed by the world and he was a black man. What happened to him is a lot deeper than just $$. If Johnny Depp can get his justice, this man will receive it tenfold.
Thank You! This is how he should be treated as an artist. He wanted to prove Something. His autobiography is gold, we learn so many things abt him. Again, thank You!
Has any artist, period, been as dragged through the mud as Michael? He was not only possessed talents of such note that he changed pop culture itself several times over, he was extremely intelligent in his own way and his thoughts on race - whether it be his own or in general - were always insightful and considered.
I'm sick of the portrayal of Michael as some oddball eccentric opportunistic creep. The media often pitch their tent poles on Michael's appearance and speculative allegations of improper conduct (despite having won one of the biggest celebrity trials in history), its awful actually.
Not only do these behaviours in the media allow for the local moron to believe they know better, it emboldens ignorance in general. People that believe Michael 'wanted' to be white, or that he was a race traitor on some level. If lay people actually went out of their way to know more, Micheal would be a far more lauded individual.
And rightfully so. There were many dimensions to Michael and who he was. For all he accomplished, he was greater than the sum of what he'd done.
I really enjoyed this video.
ELVIS PRESLEY
@@vinceilarda7694 yea…that’s a name, you must be dreaming if you think he was dragged through the mud like michael
Truth!!!
Agreed... they treated a 100% innocent and good man as guilty and tarnished his name and legacy with lies. Then all the morons took the recent one sided, untruthful hit piece on Michael as truth and hated him for it. It's so sad :(
Amazing Michael 🥹🥹🥹 how I wish I could hug you , I am a ASIAN FILIPINA and to be honest I was bullied too because of where country I came from,🥲I was so upset 😭 all I just did is to pray 🙏, I work hard for my taxes here in USA ,😭🥺🥲 but what inspired me is your music to live with it ♥️🎶❤️🎼🎵❤️I love dancing and singing and it adds on life , I was born 1962 July- and I followed you since when I was 5 years old ❤️❤️❤️RIP MICHAEL, I love you 😘
I was bullied too because of where country I came from
================
What? You was bullied not because you are from Philippines but because you were living and working in the US. Guess why?.. Would you be bullied if you lived and worked in another country, not in the US? Think about it.
Because Michael is black and wealthy, and making business endeavors, and breaking records, he was seen as a threat! And because of that, they wanted to tear him down. That’s Amerikkka for you. I said what I said
I love it , I've never seen videos with Michael Jackson talking like this. This was something I really needed and wanted to see from him!
Michael Jackson is simply a genius!
@king Don't believe everything you see on television!
@@60NXNP09 👍👍👍
@king lmao you need to seek therapy for wanting attention too much 😂😂
@king arguing with people like you who is ignorant, attention-seeker, idi0t,delusional, will just waste our time because I saw you on different MJ related videos where you comment nonsense stuff
@king focus on Elvis Presley kiddo😂😂😂 dumb as 😂
He's among one of the artists who broke some of the barriers in the industry like MTV Base.
He was a genuine soul that was misunderstood!
Now this is a good informative content. This kind of videos are what I want to see and Michael was completely right.
Thank you, Thank you for this and all your videos! This one definitely is so important for people to see. They really worked overtime to bring this BLACK man down because of his greatness! They hate to see us be great and that’s just the facts! It’s not a hoax when we cry racism it’s a real nasty thing. When we do bad they talk about us, when we excel they try to tarnish our names. Long live the KING!
Thank you!
I agree with him Music is for everyone,doesn't matter your colour,but hands down no debate,if it wasn't for the African American community more specifically artists like MJ,Buddy Bolden,DJ Kool Herc,Tupac Shakur and etc. I don't think music would be like how it is today.
that's a fact
FACTS!!!
He was wonderful,he was a normal human being and he was really innocent.
Nothing but facts being said here.
What an amazing person he was in this horrible world
So simple of a statement but so complex in thought. .I absolutely love this comment...is he so revolutionary BECAUSE the world is/was so horrible, if it werent so bad, would he still be an angel? Idk but its very deep
69th like
@@NulledSeries yep
At 2:46, I enjoyed seeing Michael go absolutely berserk at the end of Black Or White. I think that was the best part of the entire video. Too bad it got edited out.
I love you Mike. We your fans know you were a wonderful black man. I'm so proud God choose you a black man to be the BEST ENTERTAINER this world has ever seen. So very proud of you and all your accomplishments. Rip Michael we your fans have your back. Your legacy will continue to live on.
I love this, so many of his fans try and pretend Michael didn't care about being black. He was a black American, fought for Black people and artist and was proud to be a black American. Michael jackson couldn't be who he was if he was not black.
They are not real fans of him.
PREEEEAAAAAACH ITTT!
Everyone they hurt Michael Jackson will pay for it one day or another. King of pop forever
Agreed!
Michael Jackson forever
That's what happen, when a person becomes famous through his talent and MJ was talented as well as a very very much good person by heart. That's why people became crazy to see his fame,money and popularity. Out of selfishness, jealousy and lack of confidence in them,just made them insane and they did everything to make the public against him. Such a cruel and painful reality of human behaviour....😓😓
Now I just want peace for that loving, caring and tortured soul of my HERO🌹. Love you more 💐🌻
His soul was too pure for this cruel world. Rip Angel
Corrupt people: 0
Michael Jackson: 💯
5:35 is great editing, made it really emotional 👏
Thank you!
It's very interesting to see how articulating he was in his early 20's, good video BTW.
He had fought Dangerous racism against him in the music industry and I am very proud of him as he had won the fight by his Pureness and his talent we should always be thankful to him for raising one of the harmful social issues like Racism God bless him 🙏🏻
It been like that from day one If you go back to the Teenager magazines from the 1970s You will see him in his brother's was the only black faces on the magazines And they put them real small And the crazy thing is they was more popular Then the other teenager starts on the magazine
I looked up Otis Blackwell who MJ mentions in this video as having written a lot of Elvis' songs. Look him up. Not only did he write a lot of Presley's hits, but also Jerry Lee Lewis and also the great standard "Fever". I don't think songwriters get enough credit for their work.
Now this is the quality content we need!
Ele tinha um grande coração e colocou muito esforço para fazer do mundo um lugar melhor, quebrou barreiras e conquistou pessoas de todo o mundo, espero que um dia possamos todos viver em união independente da raça e gênero
I absolutely loooooove your content..keep up the great work.. keep telling Michaels truth ❤️
Какая длиная и интересная жизнь была у Майкла. И в тоже время сложная и тяжелая. Вкладывая всего себя без остатка с раннего возраста. Он хотел всего лишь чтоб все были счастливы
0:01 his voice is so soothing
Great video,this is what Michael stand for,and for the children,this is the real,real Michael Jackson.
A great artist, and a philanthropist with a heart of gold,buy as he said they did everything to destroy him and that is sad.
The dude legit talks about himself being a victim and is forced to apologize
ฉันรักในจิตใจของคุณ ❤️รักในสิ่งที่คุณเป็น รักในสิ่งที่คุณทำ ❤️ รักทุกสิ่งทุกอย่างที่รวมเป็นคุณ❤️คุณคือที่หนึ่งในใจเสมอ👍😘
Michael Jackson
The king of pop. You never die. 🎉
We love you Michael and will remain keeping your name a positive one!
The mainstream always drang down the best souls. Those that have the most intelligent messages like anti-corruption and anti-war, peace, making the world a better place etc are targeted... yet those that sing about sex and money are praised. MJ knew it because he lived it. RIP angel 💖
All artists are simple but complex human beings. Art is a beautiful thing. Music 🎶 🎵 is life's sweetest vibration.
Just look at how soft and gentle when he speaks.
His voice is so soothing and it’s really a bless to hear his voice.
This man was too good for this evil world
Michael Jackson could have been the President of United States/World🌍🌎 and would got my vote 💯times...Michael Jackson was all about We Are World/Heal The World make a better place for you and me and breaking down racial barrels hold each other with peace and love each other as one for all the children and people in the world 🌎🌍💯🙌🏿🙏🏿
my vote would have been on Autopilot and Automatic every year till death..even in death my vote will be ON top of my 🪦 for MJ

@@steviecritiquenewby7874 it's just unfortunate that people like Martin Luther King and Michael Jackson are not on this Earth people like that are like angels they only come once and you never see them again they leave something on this Earth for us to live by and for us to actually study and take seriously but that's only if we believe and unfortunately a lot of believers won't make it
@@mocancer8485 Very Very Very Truth 💯🙌🏿🙏🏿
We miss him ! Feels like yesterday he died
You were the best, and you will always be the best. You have opened the eyes of the whole world. I love you Michael 😘
The controversy behind the Black or White Short Film and the lyrics in TDRCU were overblown and stupid. He shouldn't have been force to bent the knee and apologize.
The press and the tabloids should NEVER EVER turn the public against Michael with all the rumors and lies about him because that's how people get hurt the most. Next time Ignore the rumor
Wow, I found the last bits of videos after 5:25 of him talking about race to be super interesting. Everything before I have already seen but those were more discreet videos I didn't know existed online.
His voice in the 70s was so cute
WOOOW THIS IS SO BRAVE OF HIM .. HE JUST THOUGHT ME THINGS I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW LIKE THE OTIS BLACKWELL WROTE elvises songs.
Micheal Jackson seems so much like Jesus, he was pure but people bashed him, ridicule him yet he still maintained his pure heart.
Micheal changed his music for each race style, Off the wall and Dangerous was for black people and Thriller and Bad was more rockish he was actually smart! He was multidimensional agree or disagree
who was Invincible nd HIStory for then, you think?
@@stevensonjc21 history was towards white and invisible was black darkchild produced that album.
@@deandreray3500 this time around sounds like a black song to me 🤷🏾♀️
They had too take out MJ because he was becoming more political and considering his enormous fame he was a threat
This is the comment I was looking for👏
I was looking for this comment, I super agree w this and I recently found out he spoke out against Sony Music and name dropped???
Love MichaelJackson Forever King of POP 👑❤️🔥
Once the Jackson brother's were at an Elvis Presley concert in Las Vegas and Elvis asked his audience to acknowledge the fact that the Jackson 5 were present in the audience and I thought that that was a wonderful recognition of the Jacksons and it speaks volumes about Elvis and his lack of racism towards his fellow entertainers and Michael Jackson in particular went on to huge success which even rivals Elvis's success ❤
Michael Jackson will be missed always 🤗
Let’s go Michael! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 talk your shit fr!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
El demostró más que nadie , que sin importar lo que digan seguír adelante ✨
Wow, I’m really happy to see Michael knew exactly the faces of the monsters after him. Unfortunately he couldn’t do much about them. As they finally took his life to get what they wanted from him. “They” don’t have faces since laying in the dark and actively operating in the background. “They “ don’t have no worries whatsoever. The powerful system entirely got their back. The scheme didn’t change much. Even the great MJ wasn’t spared. But there’s still hope for more just society. Thank you Mike for your tremendous contribution on this battle field.
I love so much michael jackson always. Michael is a really really good man and good heart.
This is one of my favourite videos from your channel.
Solo espero que algún día se haga verdadera justicia con el señor MICHAEL JACHSON!!!
Také bych chtěla vědět celou pravdu jak to ve skutečnosti bylo s Michaelem. Nejsme sami, který by to chtěli vědět.
Greatest of all time! Michael Joseph Jackson!
Amazing amazing video!!!! Love you Michael Jackson!!! ❤️
Conocí a alguien que lo odiaba,se alimentaba del chisme y la prensa amarilla...El día que vió por primera vez en televisión lo que sería su último recital para el mundo, ésa persona me dijo... QUÉ ARTISTA INCREÍBLE ESE MUCHACHO!!! A LO QUE LE RESPONDÍ, LO QUE USTÉD VIÓ? ES SÓLO LA SOMBRA DE UN GIGANTE QUE SE FUÉ !!!( POR SU FORMA DE MIRARME, ME DI CUENTA, QUE ELLA LO ADMIRABA TAMBIÉN.)🇦🇷🌎
I love & miss him so baddd🥹 what a beautiful soul
You are the biggest fan of MJ whoever is behind this channel
The bogus media begrudgingly showcased him as a megastar because his abilities and accomplishments were so globally overwhelming that they had no choice. It was the same bogus media that worked tenaciously to tear him down and destroy him and his career. It was interesting to hear him say that he was on to their evil all along.
I have been waiting for your videos 😍😍😍
Very good tribute. Thank you
The first black guy be on MTV 👌💅
yup
Michael , you were too nice for this cruel world. We didn't deserve you. Rest in peace 🌹🌷💐.
Omg he’s such a sweetheart so soft and gentle and when I say gentle I mean beyond gentle !!
I'm so sorry Mike 💔😢
I love this video so much, thank you very much!
It's crazy that they had categories divided by race for music in the 80s. WTF!
yup
7:30 I love this attitude he has. Standing his ground
