Whites systematically and over generations deny African Americans education and any realistic chance at joining the upper class. When one manages to crash that party anyway, we point and, well, gawk, at their stupidity (lack of education) and boorishness (unfamiliarity with elite customs.) Both will be regularly be on bountiful display until equality has been in place for generations. That too is somehow their fault?
Congratulations, I guess, for noticing oppression took its toll.

First of all, as others have noted, Gawker goes after bad types of all colors.
Second, oppression, especially when expressed against one's own children, is not an adequate excuse. #michaeljackson

Michael Jackson talked about his miserable childhood and how Joe beat him regularly when he made a mistake. Joe Jackson is a monster and the color of his skin has nothing to do with or the reporting of it. #michaeljackson

Do you realize you're being kinda racist with your unspoken pre-supposition that African-Americans, unlike Caucasians, are always great parents? Bad parenting knows no gender, sexual orientation, race, national origin, gender identity and ethnicity. It's one of the few things that unites the human race. The abuse of chilren happens in every nation, tribe, community and continent. We are the world! It doesn't fundamentally matter that Michael Jackson's family is black. What matters is that an adorable little kid got beaten and tortured into becoming a monster, and that this happens all the time, everyday among Americans of all races and nations across the world. You're seriously naive if you think African-Americans always make great parents simply because there's still a lot of racism in American society. #michaeljackson

[Edit] Oh, heh, just scrolled down. Tip o' the hat to Business Guy, who said pretty much the same thing. It is disgusting, though, that the stupid sociopath (he doesn't even have enough sense to feign sadness) who's the author of MJ's damage is still walking around hale and hearty.

Joe Jackson made himself look bad all on his own. That statement has a lot of bearing on whether or not he loved his son. Because a loving father would never in a million years say that shit out loud, let alone in a fucking TV interview in front of rolling cameras.
Paper it over all you want, blame the mean old media if you wish. Joe Jackson is still a douche. #michaeljackson
