[quote=Anonymous]I'm a white mother. I had Michael Jackson's posters in my bedroom as a pre-tween, and one of my favorite videos of my oldest daughter used to be of her dancing to one of his songs. 
Knowing what we know now, I cannot bear to hear his music. So many songs are especially infuriating and triggering. It makes me angry that people are treating child molestation so lightly. I didn't watch the documentary. I don't think I will - I believe them, and I don't need to look at them.

I'm infuriated that Al Franken is no longer in Congress just because of a photo where he's air-grabbing someone's boobs back when he was a comedian. I'm annoyed as heck that Louis CK's career is gone because he whacked off in front of women he worked with.

Meanwhile it took decades to get anything done about the pedophilia in the Catholic church, and there still have not been enough consequences. Other religious institutions have similar scandals that are not being dealt with loudly enough.

It seems like abuse of children is so abhorrent that people are in complete denial that it could have happened and therefore cannot appropriately take a stand against its perps. Meanwhile, they can completely imagine abusive behavior to women and get worked up about it, and levvy appropriate consequences.

It makes me so angry that my woke friends think that being annoyed at the discrepancy of treatment of Louis CK and Michael Jackson's works is a sign of racism and an example of supporting white men in anything. Oh My God does it piss me off.[/quote]
