    People like Sam Smith take shots at an icon like Michael Jackson because Black Americans don’t protect their heroes. He would never make a silly comment like that about Bob Marley because he knows he would be in trouble with the Jamaican community. They keep coming for MJ because they understand his unequalled impact on the scales of music history and they want to diminish him.

      @@susiepace2125 please don’t use people that were actually close to MJ as an example. That’s like you defending your sister or a good friend. What I was referring to was the community he hailed from and opened the doors for on so many levels. When Jackie Wilson and David Ruffin’s families couldn’t afford their funerals, Michael Jackson stepped in, when he found Little Richard’s catalog in the ATV Music Catalog he gave it back to Richard, he sponsored hundreds of black doctors, nurses, and creatives with his scholarship fund, he took thousands of inner city school kids with no chance of ever visiting Disneyland and brought them to Neverland on a school trips. This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what he gave back to the community not related to his ridiculous talent. Bob Marley didn’t even do anywhere near this much for the Jamaican or Caribbean communities but they understand his worth and refuse even the thought of slander and white people know this, which is why they stay clear from him.

    Home: Stephanie Mills, 1989 (Songwriter: Charlie Smalls)
    When I think of home
    I think of a resting place
    A place where there's peace, quiet, and serenity
    And that's where some of my friends have gone
    Friends who have traveled with me through my wonderful experience in Oz
    A journey I'll never forget
    When I think of home, I think of a place
    where's there's love overflowing
    I wish I was home, I wish I was back there
    With the things I've been knowing
    Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
    Suddenly the raindrops that fall they have a meaning
    Sprinklin' the scene
    Makes it all clean
    Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
    Now that I have some direction
    (Maybe there's a chance I'll get home)
    It sure would be nice to be back at home
    Where there's love and affection
    And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
    Givin' me enough time, ooh, in my life to grow up
    Time be my friend
    And let me start again
    Suddenly my world's gone and change it's fate
    And I still know where I'm going
    I have had my mind spun round in space
    And watched it growing
    And oh, if you're listening, God, please don't make it hard
    To know if we should believe the things that we see
    Tell us should we try and stay or should we run away (should we run away)
    Or will it be better just to let things, let them be, oh
    Livin' here in this brand new world
    Might be a fantasy
    But it's taught me to love, oh, yeah
    And it's real, it's so real, it's real to me
    And I've learned that we must look
    Inside our hearts to find
    A world full of love
    Like yours, like mine
    Like home
    Like, like home
    (When I think of home)
    My friends smilin' down on me
    Givin' me their energy, oh
    (When I think of home)
    I think of a peaceful world and joy
    All around me, yeah
    (When I think of home)
    And love that we share can never
    Never, ever be taken away from me, yeah, yeah, yeah
    (When I think of home)
    I just sit down and think
    And gets on down in my bone, bone, yeah
    (When I think of home)
    I can hear my friends tellin' me
    Stephanie, please sing my song
    I want to sing, I want to shout
    I want to tell you what it's all about

      Not trying to be disrespectful to you, so hopefully this is received well-
      That isn’t the point of whether Sam Smith likes Michael Jackson or not.
      Stephanie’s issue is this: Sam Smith gets their influence from Black artists. They shouldn’t be disrespectful. Because the comment was a little condescending after they commented that Human Nature was “decent”, yet the entire Thriller album goes down as one of the most sold, and best in history. So it’s far from decent.
