Jackson calls music industry "Racist"
Quote:
Multiplatinum singer Michael Jackson, already feuding with his record company, charged Saturday that the recording industry was a racist conspiracy that turns profits at the expense of performers -- particularly minority artists.
"The recording companies really, really do conspire against the artists -- they steal, they cheat, they do everything they can," Jackson said in a rare public appearance. "(Especially) against the black artists."

Isn't it terrible what they've done to poor little Michael? Maybe he'll have to go get another job where he won't be discriminated against!

Funny coming from Michael Jackson. How many hundreds of millions of $$ has he and other "minority" artists made?
I don't think one should take this guy very seriously given his shady past.

...or maybe they're "discriminating" against him because he's washed-up, no longer marketable, and generally foolish?
He named several other minority artists, even naming Sammy Davis Jr. who died penniless, but I'm have to think that alot of "entertainers" end up that way. I'm not saying that discrimination doesn't still take place, but I hardly think MJ is the one who should be crying "foul"

You should be a Headline Writer for a famous international news magazine. It would be keekahs.
Praps I should make myself black and try to make it in the industry.

The music industry is racist. It's also very devoid of any morals and scruples. They'll peddle anyone's music if they think they can make money off it. They'll even peddle music of a pedophile if there's money in it.
