Watch Oprah call out Joe on her show today.

guess the strap worked. michael was a complete whack job. this whole family is a bunch of money grubbing leeches.
What a douche Joe Jackson is. How the frell do you conflate beating your kids if they made a mistake during a music rehearsal, to needing to beat them to "keep them out of jail?"
What an idiot!
Joe how could you say you dont regret something that hurt michael so badly. Youre a cruel man.
Katherine Jackson said in the Oprah interview, "That's the way black people raise their children" (implying to Oprah that black people normally beat or whip them their children.")
Really? I am not black. But I can't believe that 'all' black people raise their kids using a strap, or a whip on them. Is that normal to be whipped and beaten by your parents in the black community? I can't believe that's accurate.
And there is a sad and historic irony in the fact that blacks would whip their kids... or anyone (if this is at all accurate, which I can't believe it is).
Also, Oprah should have said to them (since she was beat herself) that it was terrible to do whip their kids with a strap. Someone should give them a taste of their own medicine.
Hell Yah I think thats what kids ned today is a goos ass whipping. They have no fear and do what ever they want, but if they knew the Daddy was beat thier asses if they got out of line, then more would be inline.......Smack dat ass!
Not black but I know a few who are and they do NOT "strap" their children, beat their children or the like.
Screw you Joe. You were a horrible father.
That is how black people raise their kids, they whoop them.... Now he may have been extreme with it, but he made all those kids what they are and without Joe Jackson there would be no Jackson 5, Janet none of those careers!!!!! Very strict, but very effective. RIP Mike.
It's all semantics. You can beat someone with your hands, or you can beat someone with a strap. It's all the same. A beating is a beating.
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
