Wasted Opportunity to help fellow Black Americans

Before Tiger Wood, there was Michael Jackson. Before Barrack Obama, there was Michael Jackson.

They were the well known black Americans. But Michael Jackson is better known than any black Americans in the world.

A very famous black American, Michael Jackson has died this week. Everybody loves his music, even a novice in music like me. Black, white, Hispanic and Asian love to hear him sing and watch him dance. Music unites races.

And he is perhaps the best black Americans to remove racial prejudice in the USA. But he didn’t. And he is perhaps the best black Americans to help his fellows black have a better life – build a Michael Jackson foundation, a Michael Jackson College, a Michael Jackson Hospital, a Michael Jackson Scholarship. But he didn’t.

Now, he is only remembered for his music, the king of pop. And nothing more.

Before Michael Jackson, there was Martin Luther King.

The Rev Dr Martin Luther King, a black American who was a pastor of a Baptist Church in the USA. He was neither rich, nor famous as compared to Michael Jackson. Few would have heard of his name. Yet, he lived to fight for civil right for his fellow black companion in the USA. And he died for his cause.


At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement.

On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.

Will Tiger Wood follows the step of Michael Jackson or Martin Luther King?

Will Barrack Obama follows the step of Michael Jackson or Martin Luther King?

How will they end their lives?
