[Marxism] An ex-Panther on Stonewall and Michael Jackson

[David Thorstad <binesi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a unique rant sent to me about Stonewall and Michael Jackson 
from a former Panther friend. I take the liberty of posting it because 
of the genuine radicalism of it and its lack of cant. Too bad there 
aren't more radicals with his outlook.

I was on the street during stonewall. The "riot" (I like revolt better) 
electrified the Lower East Side. Me and a few ex-Pathers went down the 
next night to 'help the gay-boys' fuck up the pigs'. I was 15. So I 
guess that makes me a "Stonewall veteran."

I'm disgusted over the hypocritical homage to Michael Jackson by all 
those homophobic fucks. Especially the black commentators. Talking about 
racism but not a word about the sexual oppression, the homophobia he was 
subject to. Homophobia and ignorance was his downfall. I'm so angry. Cat 
couldn't even 'fess up to his homosexuality or his (gasp) pedophilia. 
They stomp him over a couple of poor white trash kids romping on his bed 
and the abuse Joe Jackson heaped on his sons is hardly mentioned. See 
it's ok to horribly beat the shit out of a kid as long as he ends up a 
superstar, but touch some kid's dick and its off to the penitentary or 
worse. I mean his whole early act was nothing but "soft-core" het 
pedophilia. Check out some of his lewd lyrics he sang while still 
pre-pubescent.

America's favorite necrophile and police agent has gotten himself 
trotted out to do the honors. Al Sharpton. I ain't got all the poop yet 
but if illegal drugs killed the man how come drugs is illegal in the 
first place? With a more rational drug policy. (Opiates are great 
anti-depressants! markedly better than this toxic shit (SSRI's) i 
prescibe regularly.

The only outfit unconditionally defending the cat, warts and all, was 
the Sparts. (Bless them)

Michael Jackson victim of racist, sexist, homophobic, imperialist, 
stupid America. The only good thing about the economic downturn is it'll 
accelerate the final fall of Babylon...
