Quoting Quincy: MJ 'Didn't Want To Be Black'

46. this was all due to Joe Jackson. he made fun of Michael all the time. I really don't know why. I do know that Michael Jackson was a cute kid and Joe Jackson looks like an abuser and there is nothing attractive about Joe Jackson. Joe Jackson was jealous of his kids. they are way better looking than him. He is plain ole UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH AN UGLY PERSONALITY!!!!!

47. In my opinion this interview is fake.
I'm not saying that the heroin, gyn, tumors and all are lies, but the whole interview sounded fake.
I really don't think that if QJ would agree with being interviewed by a gossip site insted of CNN, BBC, TIMES, or any respected press.

I didn't buy it.

48. You know, this is widely known and I didn't really understand why the poverty pimps came out after his death talking about how he was 'one of them' as they stood on the Harlem streets. Guess they needed exposure and a reason to bump and grind on stage like that one guy did.

MJ wanted nothing to do with the black culture. Association with african americans helped his career in the beginning, then so he started saying he had vitiligo or whatever it was.. when he started the chamical peels.

That poor guy couldnt get white enough.

50. I'm sorry, but to me, this interview sounded fake.
I don't think QJ would agree with being interviewed by a gossip site insted of a well respected press.
And, most of all, I don't believe that he would say that much about MJ's addictions.
I don't know... just sounded fake.
Didn't buy it.

51. If Quincy's statement are true which I believe may be twisted; this would be an odd statement to make. Quincy is a popular man in the music industry and by this created twisted statement alone will ruin his career in the music industry. Think about it, a man that worked with MJ, made millions off of his ablums, has close ties with today's black artists...? Do you believe that he would actually make such a statement. Now, remember, that MJ had Vitiligo and was spreading rapidly especially on his face and neck, then his hands, on and on. It was also stated that MJ's dermatologist suggest that MJ work towards bleaching his skin because the make-up wasn't enough for MJ. If Quincy made this statement in such a negative fashion, it will be his downfall in the music industry and people will not do much business with him. MJ was the King of POP and nobody can take this away from him, not even Quincy. Look at all the black stars that loved MJ; all of them, including white too! Quincy, you said this, you will lose big time and more than likely somebody will get smart and file a lawsuit against you for making such strong allegations against MJ's culture and skin color. Remember, "It doesn't matter, if you are black or white..."!!!!

52. HELLO! Q! Look at YOUR kids!!! You married the whitest girl you could find at the time, and when we hung out in Hollywood with Billy D back in the day....you ONLY looked at and tapped white women.

It's official: Q is freakin' senile. If he wasn't rich, he'd be that Old Mister Wilson type....sitting on his porch and screaming at the kids to get off his lawn.

Q: Don't you wonder what those of us who actually know you are going to say about YOU when you hit that big stage in the sky?

I suggest you shut up, because you sound more jealous and bitter, than saddened by the passing of your so-called friend. With friends like you, who needs enemies?

53. I don't believe a man of Quincy Jone's caliber would say such a thing however, I think he is mourning at the loss of his good friend like the rest of the world. RIP MIKE

56. Q knew me back in my industry days in the 60's thru the 80's. I started developing vitiligo on my hands and neck in the 70's, and my skin is completely white now, except for a few places. Q knew me. He saw what was happening to my skin. Yet, he has the nerve to say those words about Michael?

Frankly, if it weren't for MJ, Q would have been relegated to the jazz crowd, and only they would know the name Quincy Jones. Plus, the millions Q made off of MJ, is one of the main reasons he's able to see a doctor at a hospital you can't pay to get into.

You've lost it, Q, and that was the most disgusting interview I've ever seen you do. You should be ashamed of yourself; I hope you are relegated to the trash can of everyone's memory for saying those things about Michael.

Shame on you, Q. You're half the man you used to be

An apology to Katherine is truly in order.

57. Quincey Jones, another idiot coming out of the woodworks talking crap. Seems to me that all of the so call people who called themselves friends of Michaels were nothing more than his enemy!

58. I dont think for one second...Jackson didnt want to be black....I do think though...Jackson altered his looks becausew of that sorry ass dad of his always making hateful remarks about his looks. Joe Jackson was so jealous of Michael, that he did everything he could to make Michael feel ugly..which by the way...I think Michael was quite handsome at one time. Michael should of told that sorry ass dad to take a hike.....but I guess you could say...Michael did get the last laugh in the end...Joe Jackson doesnt get squat !

59. Yeah .... DUH!!!! TMZ - Did you really have to dig up yet ANOTHER UN-story on MJ?? As if you didn't already have ENOUGH on here ... for DAYS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

60. The truth is the truth.Quincy is right.
Saying your proud to be black is one thing but his actions proved otherwise.
All the blacks that are so upset should sit back and think Michael would not even associate with you or your black kids in his personal live.
He transformed himself into a white person.
"Vitiligo" changed his hair and facial features?
"Vitiligo" changed his sperm to have white children?
"Vitiligo" made him marry only white women?
Get real he hated being black.
Quincy do not like black women and Diana Ross don't like back men,the Barry Gordy thing was just to get ahead in her career.
