People talk about this like it's intellectual property.

He might have some African heritage via his father, especially if his father’s family is from the eastern part of the island.

Not sure how a non white person can be considered to be doing racist or appropriating anything really.

He's Puerto Rican(dad) and Philipino(mom). Regardless that was the dumbest shite I've listened to in a while. A lot of bigoted assholes in that video.

“I don’t even think that Michael Jackson, now, in this day in age, would be able to get to the point that he got to previously,” she explained. “And a huge part of that is because people have realized that they prefer their black music and their black culture from a non-black face.”


MJ had this figured out nearly 30 years ago.

He isn’t getting destroyed on Twitter. Twitter is defending him against some no name trying to call him out.

Never let logic get in the way of the OT misinterpreting twitter or thinking that some no name egg photo speaks for an entire group of ppl.

It isn't an egg photo twitter account saying this. It's a YouTube channel with 51k subscribers.

Black twitter is jealous that the only singers with rhythm and soul are White and Hispanic. Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars

What happened with all that? Black music was incredible back in the day.

Smokey Robinson. Marvin Gaye. Ray Charles. The temptations. Aretha Franklin. BB King. So much awesome Motown. Incredible Blues.

Now you have Kanye and Petite boosie and Mumble rap.

It’s a travesty

Black people wanna be rich and famous, but not famous enough that white people are mostly your fans.

simply googling and reading a wiki page before posting is a good rule of thumb.

Hint: he isn't black. 0%. There truly are some ignoramus's on this board. Good lord.




Simply reading the thread you're about to post in before posting is a good rule of thumb.

Hint: Multiple people have already informed OP that he isn't black.

The video is actually pretty entertaining, except for the 1 girl with the cornrows just hates him, they are having a debate some think he is appropriating some think he's appreciating.
