If you’ve read any extensive interview with Michael Jackson, you probably share my nausea at the display of self-serving bull that Michael’s father Joe Jackson Read the full post.

Thompson, you sadistic sicko
quoting Old Testament to justify beating kids. Do you have any studies to back up your claim that beating children keeps them from pursuing a wayward life. You are a close-minded, mean spirited NASTY piece of work. It’s sickos like you that perpetuate a culture of violence. You don’t have any clue about what you’re talking about.
Spoil the children and spare the switches(rods); that’s the way we train our children; Look at how the Jacksons turn out to be, well disciplined and prosperous, owing to directives of Joe Jackson. Michael might not like it during his upbringing, but Joe’s tactics worked. He stood firm with his family, and played a very important role in their lives. Without him, that family might have shattered; Kudos to him. “Don’t wait till when your children turn 18 before asking yourselves(parents) where do things go wrong”; These are words of opinion from father of the Williams sisters. Just like Joe Jackson from Gary Indiana, Mr. Williams hailed from Oakland California. These neighborhoods were tough and poverty striken; but still some responsible fathers emanated. When we parents raise children, we give them what they need for the future, not what they want, especially for BLACK children. Thanks to Joe Jackson and Mr. Williams. Fathers like us are learning alot from you.
OKK and samuel esketawhatever esq: I forgot to include you 2 other Bible-thumping pea-brains. I guarantee if you had the sh*t kicked out of you as a child, you’d be singing a different tune. Obviously all your religion hasn’t gotten you a bloody HEART. What a shame. You’re a disgrace to the spirit of Christianity.
well i can certainly say that as a child i had me share of spanking/beatings..try this one: having to go out to the backyard to pick my own switch to get that beating. it did not stop me from getting into sticky situations as a teenager, but i could have been in worse situations you don’t beat/spank your child for every little thing sometimes they just don’t know any better however, if they do know and did it anyway well then there is a consiquence but the worse discipline for me was being sentenced to my room after getting a beating/spanking.
Kayekoiki-another Sicko-where are you slimebuckets crawling out from? How do you figure that beating the Jacksons caused them to grow up prosperous? Gaws, you’re an effin douchebag! Stick your opinion back up your ass because that’s a much credibility it has. Spoken like a true ABUSER yourself!
Bravo, Lizzy! Your comment certainly bears repeating: “Joe Jackson is a sleezebag. A greasy, slimey, attention-craving, child-breating sleezebag.” This slimebucket is showing up everywhere now. And what’s with the dumb hat – can’t he look anyone straight in the eye?
Discipline comes from the word disciple. Children learn by example. Spare the rod spoil the child? Thy rod and thy staff comfort me. What shepard would beat his sheep?
If you have any doubt that JJ is a D*ucheBag of the Nastiest order, just remember…his son had not even been dead for 2 days and he showed up to the BET Awards, quickly dismissing questions about how the family was doing, in favour of introducing his business partner and telling the world of his latest money-making venture. It was then I knew everything Michael said about it was true — HE IS A CHILD-BEATER. No doubt about it.
Thankfully, where Michael is now, there is no more pain and suffering. I believe this. If he is looking down, he sees the great outpouring of love from his countless fans and friends. No more pain. No more suffering. RIP, Michael.
My comment is directed to “kayekoiki”: Sir, once the effects of your mind altering drugs have waned, and your thought process is more rational and realistic (if your diminished intelligence level so permits), I believe you should see your post for what it is: Totally Foolish, Totally Antiquated and a TOTAL BUNCH OF CRAP!!!! Some people will post anything – no matter how stupid it makes them appear – just to say that they have composed a post. You have added absolutely nothing productive to this site!!
Quite right, Sir Clive and Lady Gag- There seem to be a lot of child beaters trying to justify themselves on this site. Too bad they’ve chosen such an Anti-hero as Joe Jackson to be their lightning rod. As someone who was routinely beaten with knives, belts, switches, punched in the head etc. I can tell you with total certainty that my abuser spewed forth the same bile that I hear from the likes of OKK, Thompson, Kayekoiki. That is how he JUSTIFIED what he did to me during my childhood and teenaged years. I can spot the RHETORIC right away. These are angry people, full of rage against the innocent and the weaker and nothing will stop them – only a stronger fist, a weapon or prison.
I think is extremely dangerous for Michaels children to be anywhere near Joe. Theres no excuse to be that violent, Michael was physical and psycological abused, he was terrified of Joe to the point of being ill in his presence, is just not normal parenting. I cant believe some people try to justify him. If Katherine had to scream “joe stop youre gonna kill him”, I think is bad enough, and some people is so blind hating on MJ that they are HAPPY to hear he had such terrible times, suppporting his whole family and as a thank you he would receive punishment and NO love, Is Joe gonna deny that he didnt let his kids call him “dad” too?.
I watched the show in horrified fascination. Here is a man with absolutely no apparent grief at his son’s death, and an obvious inability to feel anything other than concern for himself. His self-involvement seemed pathological. The whole segment was about Joe – Joe made Michael, Joe was being treated poorly, etc etc. Even Paris’ aplomb when speaking at the funeral service Joe attributed to his genes “of course!’
The man made me angry, which ten changed to pity. He will never have anyone around him with any love for him ever again. He can never expect the sort of memorial his son had. And try as he might, he will NEVER have anything or real importance with the children.
He will dies clueless and complaining about how badly he was treated – unless he has a remarkable change of heart conversion to being human, and dies of grief when he realizes how he wasted his life making other people miserable.
It makes you wonder what Joe’s father was like.
He is such a waste of life on this planet – why does anyone listen to a word this old fool speaks?
Thank you, Steve. As for Kayekoiki – so you’re an expert on child-rearing or more to the point, on CHILD-BEATING. And I infer from your comments that black, poor, children need to be beaten more?? I’m going to hazard a guess that you’re black, male, and are a child-beater yourself because no child who has suffered beatings would ever talk like this, especially not hiding behind a Bible. God’ll get you for this, you sick hypocrite.
