An old, long-suppressed Michael Jackson interview has hit the tabloids, an interview in which the King of Pop praises Hitler for his oratory and claims Hitler's evil could've been treated with therapy.This explains why the interview has long been suppressed.
Did I mention that Michael made the remarks to a rabbi? Here is exactly what Michael said.
Q: "You believe that if you had an hour with Hitler you could somehow touch something inside of him?"
Jackson: "Absolutely. I know I could ... You have to help them, give them therapy, teach them that somewhere, something in their life went wrong."
The easy thing here would be to make a lot of bad jokes at Michael's expense, but I'm not going to. Instead I'm going to be respectful of his memory and compassionate toward the person he was.
And if I could go back in time and speak to Michael for an hour? I would try to help him. I would try to teach him that somewhere, something in his life went wrong.
By the way, people who praise Hitler's speeches are usually people who don't speak German. Just sayin'.
