Exactly. She doesn’t know what happened to Michael after Thriller/Bille Jean. My assumption is that Michael changed his damn phone number on her.Maybe we should just chalk Stephanie's comment up to being bitter, lol.

It bothers me when certain numb nuts who think they speak for the entire Black community get up on TV and start spreading complete blasphemy in regards to Michael’s apparent “Blackness” Point is, there is NO monolithic black ppl!!!! These lies are infused into the Black community and are reinforced when Michael is seen with one of them. Moronic Black ppl have been doggin Michael with his lack of “Blackness” for years, while over on the other side, he is constantly pushing down the boundaries that constrain him for being Black. No other celebrity as ever had to repeatedly, over and over and over again had to proclaim to the entire world, his/her love for their own kind. And if ppl STILL after all that have an issue with ish coming out from ppl who may or may not have even had contact with Michael within the last 20 years, then they themselves are straight tripping. I cant put it any other way. It is foolish, petty, and not even worth discussing. People who have a problem with Michael’s blackness, have a problem with THEIR OWN.
Yep. Exactly. That's what I was trying to explain to mello.Originally posted by NevaehDreamz
That's one we wouldn't have known about if she and his family didn't say something. So what makes you think there aren't others? I don't think it's Michael's duty to tell the public everyone he's dated.
Yes his public relationships have been with white women, but like I said PUBLIC relations.
But I understand why a lot of black people see things a certain way, some of us just want to see him with his own at least once, so we don't feel left out.
Others need some kind of re-assurance that he's not turned away from his own race, which isn't the case.

On you come now. Again, the point is that you can't "conclude" anything from what you see "publicly".
You have no idea what his "preference" for women is. Even I'm not silly enough to think that he's only dated the 2 women he's married.

Even if his public relationships have all been with white women, that doesn't make him a racist. That was a stupid statment Mello1. Don't throw that word around so loosely..Michael and racist in the same sentence is stupid. Especially since the man is black, as his whole family is..or are you one to believe that he's changed his skin color purposley because of that reason?
Ironic, isnt it?This is why we can't have conversations like this because people become so hysterical and upset over things that they cannot allow themselves to think about what someone has posted before they react.

Mello1, you are the one that made this an issue...no one was really FREAKING OUT about it, just annoyed.
Oh we will most definitely agree to completely and totally disagree on this issue. I'm not choosing to make up my mind one way or the other as to his "preferences" and you obviously are. AGAIN, the point was that any conclusion about who Jackson "prefers" and/or has dated--especially one where there seems to be no merit to it--is ridiculous; ridiculous coming both from Stephanie Mills and other fans.Originally posted by mello1
But isn't that what we ALL are doing? I can only go by what he chooses to publically expose and I'm not just referring to his recent marriages, but who he's publically been with thru out his career. Now, I don't find the need for the secrecy about who he dates, but fine, that's his business. I am making my comments on what I have seen.
Further, in my post, I made the distinction between what Mills knew back then and now, so there is not argument there.
Now, we all can choose to believe what we want to believe or not. And I'm strictly speaking of MJ's dating preferences and not what he has or has not done in the Black community, because this thread is about what Mills said.
And I still say that what she said was not racist and I stand by that.
We agree to disagree.
Excuse me??? I don't know what you meant by that, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know the type of woman that MJ is attracted to. And if you are not a BW, you wouldn't understand the kind of pain that causes, whether intentional or not.
