Quincy Jones on Michael Jackson

In my last post, I asked about Michael Jackson's "friends" and "Motown." I specifically avoided mentioning Quincy Jones.

I'd read an article that just upset me, and I want to NOT believe Q would even go there. When I heard him earlier in the week, I was a bit bothered. He mentioned chemical peels and some of Michael's "issues." IF he had left it at that, I wouldn't be as upset.

This article has Quincy saying Michael didn't want to be Black, and bringing up the children as proof. Have I doubted the vitiligo over the years? Yeah I have. I've given him the benefit of the doubt. OK, "maybe he does have it." But, never did I say he didn't want to be Black.

I am seriously hoping Q didn't go there. Quincy has made a habit of dating, marrying and having children by non-Black women. So why would he just diss The King of Pop?

There are enough people out there that we KNOW are just looking to grab their 15 minutes of fame over Michael Jackson. But, IF this is true, Michael didn't need "family" like that.

I am going to hope that the Q comes out and says he was misquoted.

Now, I don't doubt MJ had some issues. Joe. Fame. Paparazzi. But, you don't expect "family" to out you. Especially those who claim to love you like a "little brother." You don't air your dirty laundry in public. You keep it in the family.
