LOL Cece and Judith, I don't think it was Lisa's issue to have a black baby (actually Malado). Michael was black, after all. I don't know if I believe that her parents were racist in any way or against inter-racial marriage, but it could be. I do remember seeing a video of someone who knew the family who claimed that.
Should have posted this video a long time ago, but got sidetracked. Here is Jesse's opinion on Oprah and the interview... enjoy! And please keep on commenting.

Froggy, thank you so much for writing that...you truly express what I can't find words to say. My heart felt all those things...that I could see the shadow of who LMP was before that day in June, and see, even feel, how it changed her, how her world was shaken and her understanding grew like a lightning bolt had illuminated everything in the past for her. Much the same as his light has done for many of us-- shown us what lies beneath, that perfect pattern, that rubiks cube. Even if I can't see the weave of what is right around me at times, I've found faith that there is a pattern being woven, that will be revealed when the time is right. I loved LMP's humanity, she still has that defensive edge, but it has transformed into absolute honesty; it seemed she was unable to be anything but honest, even when she knew her answers were not full answers, she gave us what she could. I was quite pissed off about Oprah at first, because of her nagging obsession with drugs when LMP clearly had so much more to share, but in the end, I have to see that O played her part in bringing this new understanding and love of LMP to light, and also allowing us to embrace her as a sister, as you wrote. Finally, what you wrote about Michael's light...what small experiences I've had, I've come to believe he is a bodhicitta, an enlightened being who chose to come to earth again to help humanity. His light is all-encompassing, the love that he allows me to feel is what I have always yearned to feel. And just imagine being married to that light! And imagine carrying that light within you, yet having feet of clay... I think about how daily I fail to live up to the ideal of love that I want to be in the world, and imagine what Michael set for himself to live up to... I'm rambling a little, I just feel all your words, Froggy. Peace

I'm reminded again why I quit coming here. LM hasn't changed. It's cool to like Michael now. All she's capable of is following the crowd. Her mother taught her to be arrogant & how to play the 'widow' card. Sadly, everybody that has commented here fell for it. Wake up, people!! Michael eventually saw through her & it makes so-called fans look stupid when they talk about justice for Michael, but can't even tell that his 1st ex-wife is still a hateful, spoiled brat who will never gain maturity. She can't even say that he wasn't capable of child molestation!! There are so many things I could point out that proved LM hasn't changed, but none of you will ever get it & I'm too disgusted with all of you to even bother.

I'm not even going to bother commenting. We don't welcome haters here anyway, but all the same, I still feel sorry for you, for carrying all that rage of yours inside.

Nobody on this board actually knows me. If any of you did, it would be obvious that I am neither a "hater" or a "stinker". I'm a REALIST. Just wanting to see good in. everybody, in this case LM, doesn't mean there is any good to be found. Some people in this world really have no good in them. Media that trashed Michael & still does, the parents of both of Michael's accusers, Conrad Murray & every other Dr. that took advantage of Michael's addiction are all prime examples that I would be blown away if none of you didn't honestly agree with at least some of them. To Judith, specifically, if you knew me at all, you would see a HUGE amount of joy in me.

I will apologize, alijoy. You have a right to your opinion about LMP. I didn't like her either because she was so unfair to Michael in her many interviews after she filed for divorce. But once I saw her on Oprah, and she was so honest and open about her love for him, my feelings softened towards her and I felt compassion.
It's true she made mistakes, was 10 years younger than him... only 26 when she married him. But he made mistakes too. They were both stubborn, and they both hurt each other. She thought she would teach him a lesson by filing for divorce, thinking he would come running back. But once she saw he didn't and wouldn't, she realized she had made a terrible mistake and regrets it to this day. She threw away the chance to have his children, and threw away his love. How can you not feel sorry for her, for making the biggest mistake of her life?
I'm just really glad she finally came clean to the world, and because of what she told Oprah about Michael, I believe many people think differently about him now.
By the way, we are not all disgusting people. Our hearts are in the right place.

I didn't mean to offend you. I will include your name on the flowers I send Michael each month. I always include Mary's name.

Hi, I'm new and just registered. I would just like to say that I'm so glad that this board has positive feelings for Lisa. Most forums don't like her so I'm extremely happy to have found this proboard. Looking forward to being an active member.
