Paris Jackson speaks

Wednesday July 8, 2009

Categories: Culture

Did you watch Michael Jackson's young daughter Paris speak at yesterday's event? Here's that clip:

It was extremely moving, and reminded me that however freaky MJ was, he was this child's daddy. I remember a friend I once had whose mother was a neglectful, self-centered drunk -- but he loved her passionately, because that was the only mother he had. The pathos of childhood.

Anyway, I think it impossible to watch that clip without feeling sorry for the poor little girl. And yet, I found it somehow wrong that the Jackson family let her do this (or, worse, put her up to it). Oughtn't the child have been protected from that kind of spectacle? It seems so to me. Watch the clip and weigh in.
