...because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life.
...and if so, could by extension (ahem) raise "contrary views" about the lifestyles of many of Pelosi's constituents.

“Wonder what Nazi has against Michael?”

That’s easy! She has more plastic surgeries that Michael, thus, she WON!

“He bleached himself white. How can you express your contempt for your own race any more strongly than that? Why do they want to adulate him? It boggles my mind.”

Those whose minds are not boggled understand how difficult it is to live with Vitiligo and that attempts to rid himself of remaining pigment was necessary to even out his complexion, not as an attempt to express contempt for his race.

I also heard MJ had an obsession for Nazi memorabilia.

Of COURSE if you’re going to try to wipe away all vestige of blackness from your skin and from your features (did his African nose also disappear because of some “disease”??? give me a break), then of COURSE you’re going to search the medical books for some “disease” that explains why you “had to” bleach yourself white, and of COURSE one of your staff-”doctors” is going to certify that you have it.

Grow up, Kimberly. Try not to believe every press release from every rock star you read.

As a white person I am horrified by MJ’s wiping away of his blackness.

If I were a black person I would be 10 times horrified.

Unless, of course, I was brainwashed by my “leadership” to think otherwise.
