Great front page dispatch!
A much needed one!
BUT, there's a bit of tension between your words, the image of the Jacksons, and the lyrics.
Your words are absolutely on point!
But given the uplifting message in the lyrics and its positivity, how do we reconcile how Michael Jackson completely rejected his Africanness, his Blackness, and more or less the Black community?
Something is wrong in this equation and shows how utterly we've been brainwashed into accepting the Eurocentric view of things, and internalizing it.
Michael Jackson's wealth and estate is now mostly in his children's hands - the white kids he adopted. They basically control his inheritance along with a small percentage to his mom.
Not only that, now that his white kids are married to other white partners, Michael's overall estate now firmly belongs to the white community. Ouch!
The lesson here is: WE NEED TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO LOVE THEMSELVES IN A SERIOUS WAY - no more skylarking or we perish!
That should be the real meaning of "Let Me Show You The Way To Go."
Again, great frontpage dispatch - great summation!
Reminds me of the things Sistah Dolores C. Tucker used to remind & warn us about. RIP
