Michael Jackson repented for anti-Jewish song

«Jew me, sue me, kick me…». This was the original text in a song of Michael Jackson. When the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) sent him a strong rebuke in form of a letter, the Pop idol changed the lyrics.

The original 1995 song «They Don’t Care About Us», contained words like: «Jew me, sue me, kick me….». The SWC sent a protest, and received an apology letter. Later, Michael Jackson became the first visitor of the SWC sponsored «Museum of Tolerance».

When Michael Jackson’s «HIStory» album was first released in 1995, the Simon Wiesenthal Center was shocked to hear that some of the lyrics in this song was anti-jewish. The Center immediately protested these obviously antisemitic stereotypes that millions of people would be exposed to, directly to Michael Jackson and demanded that he and Sony Records remove the offensive lyrics from the album.

Not everyone regrets anti-Jewish remarks. Michael Jackson did.

Michael responded by personally calling Rabbis Hier and Cooper and expressing his deep remorse and then following up with a lette, where he wrote:

«Unfortunately, my choice of words may have unintentionally hurt the people I wanted to stand in solidarity with … I intend to include in all albums that have not been shipped as of this date, the paragraphs above so that no one can listen to my music and misconstrue my intentions».

True to his word, not only did he do that, but a week or so later, he went back into the studio, deleted the offensive lyrics, and re-recorded the song.

My comment:

I was a fan of Michael Jackson. He is one of the greatest singers of my generation.

I felt very happy when I got the latest newsletter from SWC. Happy for the soul of Michael Jackson.

Jackson was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness by his devout mother. He was abused as a child by his father, was by 1993 an addict of medical drugs. His brother Jermaine converted to Islam, and Michael Jackson might have done the same in 2008. I never met Michael Jackson, and could not question him about his views on the Messiah. That the Jewish Messiah has paid in full for all the sins of the World.

Michael Jackson suffered a lot of pain and agony in this life, also serious health problems.

If I could have been with him in his final moments, I would have asked him to repent, to cry out to the Messiah to forgive him for his sins. I hope Michael Jackson asked Jesus of Nazareth for mercy and grace.

I hope Michael Jackson made it to the Kingdom of Heaven.

  1. The WatchTower Society teaches its own version of “replacement theology”, which says that GOD rejected the Jews as His “chosen people”, and replaced them with today’s “Jehovah’s Witnesses”. In fact, the title “Jehovah’s Witnesses” was originally applied to the Jews by the Prophet Isaiah, and is even quoted on the wall at the entrance to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. The WatchTower Society, in calling its own members “Jehovah’s Witnesses” is attempting to steal that designation away from the Jews. The WatchTower Society even teaches that all of the Bible’s promises of restoration for the Jewish people now belongs to the followers of the WatchTower Cult.

    The negative influence of the teachings of the Jehovah’s Witnesses on Michael and his family have been either downplayed or totally ignored for as long as the Jackson Family has received public attention. For those readers who really want to know what life is like to be reared in the WatchTower Cult, nothing beats real world scenarios, and of real world scenarios, nothing beats actual civil and criminal court cases.

    The following website summarizes 900 court cases and lawsuits involving children of Jehovah’s Witness Parents. The summaries demonstrate how JW Families rear their children and live life day-to-day. Also included are nearly 400 CRIMINAL cases — most involving MURDERS:

    Excerpt from LaToya Jackson’s own 1991 biography, LATOYA: GROWING UP IN THE JACKSON FAMILY:

    “… both my parents harbor racist attitudes, particularly against Jews, … ‘Wherever you go, whatever you do in this business, you find a Jew,’ Mother used to complain bitterly all the time, ‘I can’t stand it.’ … She’d go on and on. ‘They’re always on top. Jews are so nosy. They like controlling you. I hate ’em all.’ To their faces, however, my mother was as sweet as could be. … Hearing talk like this turned my stomach, especially when it came from my mother’s mouth. How could a religious woman be so hateful? … The depth of Mother’s loathing was expressed in one of her oft-repeated opinions: ‘There’s one mistake Hitler made in his life — he didn’t kill all those Jews. He left too many dxxx Jews on this earth, and they multiplied,’ –pages 132-4.

  2. Dear JJ2014.

    Shalom.

    Thanks for this comment. I agree with you, that “Jehovah’s Witnesses” is a sect, that does not teach the truth. I also know about their anti-Jewish attitudes.

    Thats why I was happy, when I read that Michael Jackson had repented from using an anti-Jewish stigma in one song.

    The real and true Jesus of Nazareth, loves a repented sinner. I still hope and pray that Jackson made it to the Kingdom of Heaven. True Messianic followers of Jesus cant even imagine all the horror any man have to face in the lake of fire.

  3. Jew me, sue me?

    That is right, Michael! The original Jews are black people not these money hungry, hook nosed, olive color Jews!

    All I really want to say, they do not really care about us!

    Love ya, Michael

    From the Nation of Islam

  4. Dear Darlene.

    Since the Bible says that his people, the Jews, shall return to the land of their forefathers, when will we see all the black people return?

    Either their are not Jews, or they live in disobedience to the Word of God…

  5. jj2014 why would someone go to the sites you make up in ALL your spare time cutting and pasting propaganda when they can go to the source at the watchtower.org site (that’s rhetorical).
