My Response to Michael Jacksons tragic death

The Michael Jackson story i read was written by Racialicious. The story was about a girl who grew up listening to Michael Jackson every since he became famous, and she was talking about her memories she had in school listening to Michael Jackson. For example she said "I remember when someone brought the thriller Video to school and their was a 'viewing' before 1st period in the auditorium....was one of the few times i wanted to get to school early." She also gave a little background on Michael telling us how he bleached his skin, and about his surgeries he had. She had also said that it's sad he's gone he was a music icon who inspired everyone. Then she mentioned how other people have different opinions about Michael, about how he was crazy, and a pedifile, and that it doesn't matter that he's dead,etc. She also mentioned how she worked at places Michael had performed at and she would go and be screaming with every body else saying MIIIICCCHAELL! MIIIIICCCHHHHAEEEELL!. She had also mentioned that when she went to his performances or watched him on tv she noticed that "When Michael preformed he paused and made us wait for him. sometimes he would simply stop, as if he were overcome with emotion and the crowd {including me} ROARED in response."
I think the writers story was talking about race, memories she has had, judgment, and Michael Jackson's background. To me the message this writer is trying to get through to people is that it does not matter about all of the bad that Michael has done he has done plenty of good things too. So we need to focus on all the good things he did and realize that he is the king of pop still even though he is not with us anymore we still should show the man respect that he is do for being a music icon. Even though he made some bad choices he still made good music, and that's what you should remember him for.
I agree with this writer because i really liked Michael Jackson and to me he is and will forever be apart of everybody's hearts, and a music icon to us. plus i go through the same stuff he did i do my best in everything and i am even nice to people who are not nice to me and i still get judged because of the way i look and how short i am, but yet i do all these good things and don't get any recognition for it. But i am not a music icon Michael Jackson is and he deserves all of our respect.
