Earth, Wind & Fire helped pave much of the road that Michael Jackson would later travel. They demonstrated that Black American music could reach massive crossover audiences without abandoning its musical depth, spirituality, or uplifting themes. Their high-vibrational message, elaborate stage productions, pyrotechnics, illusions, and arena-sized performances helped establish the blueprint for the modern pop spectacle.
In many ways, Michael Jackson took elements that Earth, Wind & Fire had already pioneered and elevated them to an even greater commercial level through his extraordinary dancing, visual storytelling, and solo star power. While MJ transformed the formula, Earth, Wind & Fire helped create the foundation.
Just want to take this time to thank the MJ fans who have been tirelessly fighting the phony allegations and narrative of lies for decades. Outsiders will never know how hard it is to be ridiculed, teased, bullied and questioned for rightfully standing up for MJ..
Iโm letting you know now that I clearly see you and appreciate you.
We have fought side by side on the battlefield many times together. And we still have those battle scars to prove it. Just know, You will always have my deepest respect and appreciation.
It is easy to stand next to someone when everything is going great. But when things get rough and they truly need you, โWill you be thereโ?
My answer was always yes for my uncle Michael. And will always be.
@GrantForSC sending flyers begging us for our vote & spewing typical democrat talking points about opposing Trump, but what has he done to protect us from violence? I don't see not one policy about it mentioned on not one of those flyers. So don't expect to see my vote on Tuesday
The mother of Cyrus Carmack-Belton is calling for Hate Crime Bill protections for Black Americans, but the NAACP and the Democrats are going to ignore her.
Legendary soul group Sounds of Blackness surprised a store worker with a live performance after hearing their music playing throughout her store.

Iโm here at Horace Mann middle/high school and the kids are singing Billy Jean. Not Drake. Not Jay Z, not Taylor swift, not bad bunny. Michael Jackson
Andy Beshear of Kentucky is a possible 2028 presidential candidate since he is a Democratic governor of a ruby red state. @BlackAlphaNetw1 asked him a question about what specific policies can be done for Black Americans (Freedmen). He asked him if he supported reparations. Listen to how Beshear completely avoids the question and then gets flustered and leaves when he is not allowed to dodge the topic.
The Democrats are willing to protest on behalf of and offer specific policies for LGBTQ, illegal immigrants, Asian Americans, Jews, corporations, and other groups, but when it comes to Black Americans (Freedmen), unfortunately, their most loyal constituency, we get nothing.
Beshear could have talked about how we could get policies based on our status as Freedmen, since you cannot do policies based on race, and those of us who have the lineage that makes us FBA/Freeedmen would be entitled to reparations, services from the Freedmen's Bureau, and more.
@princss6@hampton_amia@TheBlackCaucus That was the FIRST thing I thought when I saw they werenโt supporting the Score Act in that statement. Iโve been saying for the last year that the CBC should have been adamantly against it. The fact that they werenโt makes them an enemy to all Black athletes in my mind. ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
So @TheBlackCaucus was apparently ready to let Congress pass a college sports bill that wouldโve:
โข made it harder for athletes to sue the NCAA over unfair compensation rules,
โข blocked athletes from being treated as employees โ meaning no union rights, no collective bargaining, no workplace protections,
โข wiped out stronger state NIL laws that currently help athletes make more money,
โข and handed the NCAA even more control over transfers, recruiting, and player compensation.
โฆbut suddenly hit the brakes because of a redistricting tantrum tied to protecting congressional seats?
So none of those provisions were disqualifying until the political machine itself was threatened? Got it.
Black Woman Checks Illegal Hispanic Immigrants For Comparing Themselves To Black American Descendants Of Slavery. The Democrats Only Care About Illegal Hispanic Immigrants. Black Americans ARE NOT "People Of Color" And We DEMAND Specific Tangibles For Black Americans. (Audio Fix)
Gavin Newsom says MAGA is anti-Black but vetoed reparations, funds illegal immigrants with taxpayer dollars, and ignores the Black homelessness crisis in California. Actions speak louder than labels!! Bye!!
@IAMSHO_NUFF@tariqnasheed This is the PERFECT meme for that video because they made my brain hurt so bad, I couldn't make it past the 1 min 45 sec mark. The last word I heard was "privilege." I couldn't hear any more of that tether babble. ๐ง ain't moving fast enough for me. ๐
@six8drinks@MrsDAquanik@TheConsciousLee Exactly! They big mad because they have to flee their homelands, then turn around and flee ๐ง trucks while we can grab some popcorn and watch it all go down. ๐บ๐ธ
